| 準備学習・履修上の注意 /Notices |
Each class is built upon the content of the previous lesson. As such, it is essential that students actively participate and do all of their homework on time. If a student cannot attend class, she must inform the teacher in advance. Based on individual and class progress as well as other factors, the weekly schedule is subject to change. In this course, students are expected to: 1. Come to each class well prepared and ready to work with classmates. 2. Maintain academic honesty and not commit plagiarism (see pages 35, 36, and 37 of the 学生生活ガイドブック for more information). 3. Use their best English and not use translation software (e.g., Google Translate, DeepL, Papago, etc.) or AI bots to complete assignments, except when specifically instructed to do so. 4. Use a computer and the internet to complete assignments as necessary. 5. Appreciate diversity and difference of opinion and background. 6. Respect one another and the teacher. 7. Help create a positive classroom environment by participating actively and positively each week. 8. Always do their best!
