Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
Planning to conduct a class for lectures of the 16th from the 1st, shown in the above Class Schedule, so if preparation is enabled on the print that was distributed to students, we recommend you to study it in advance. In addition, it is strongly recommended that you review every lesson each time. 
Requirements Students are required to attend all lectures and submit all reports.  
Grading Method The arrival of the three items of "target of class" will be evaluated by quizzes and assignment.
Grade was determined by the attitude toward the class of the day-to-day and achievement of lesson objectives, and the passing mark is 60%. The distribution of these is assignment and quizzes (90%), attitude toward the class (10%).
