  You should read well the applicable part of the text before every time.
　About the points which you couldn't understand, at first, you should investigate by yourself, and about the left point, ask me a written question. You should write down questions generated in a lecture also, and preserve as the learning record.

Requirements 　According to the article 21 (2)of the law by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, the Standards for Establishment of Universities, you need "learning" of 90 hours to acquire two units in a university. Lectures take only 30 hours, so you should take the left 60 hours by preparing and reviewing for classes well out of the class and absorb the contents. I'm sure that it will invite you to another world over the social recognition.
