履修上の注意Other Course Information

To pass this course, students should always do their homework, prepare for their next lesson, arrive to class on time, stay awake and focused in class, and be ready to participate in all classroom activities. We will do a lot of English reading in and out of the classroom, so students should prepare a dictionary to help them better understand the English vocabulary and texts.
