Please do research/ homework assignments A.S.A.P. (the same day; or the next day). Waiting until the last minute to do assignments/ research/ homework (‘ichiyazuke’) is NOT a good way to prepare for classes. Please spend an average of 1 hour before each class, to prepare. Please spend an average of AT LEAST 1 hour after every class, to do homework/ research. * NOTE: IF the VIRUS situation gets BAD again, Online classes MIGHT be needed.
