Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review The lecture content is cumulative, so if you come across a part you don't understand, try to clear up your doubts as soon as possible.
Face-to-face lectures will be held with the assumption that participants have watched on-demand videos in advance.
The quickest way to understand this class is to deepen your understanding by solving problems, so I recommend that you try solving the practice problems that do not require submission.

Requirements Lectures are half on-demand and half face-to-face. Before the lecture, supplementary lectures are given face-to-face with the premise that students watch the relevant video of the day.

Grading Method Midterm exam (40%) and final exam (60%).
However, there are cases where it is not possible to conduct the midterm exam due to the number of students taking the course. In that case, I plan to give grade based only on the final exam (100%).
