Study Load (Self-directed Learning Outside Course Hours) | | | In addition to the ninety (90) minutes of time spent in each class meeting, students should expect to spend time outside of class each week reading and writing responses to weekly prompts. Your work load will depend on which learning track you have chosen to join. In general, students on the Discovery track (final grade of B) can expect an average of one hour or less per week, students on the Mastery track (final grade of A) around two hours per week, and students on the Research track (A+/S) around three hours per week. For more details, refer to the guide to learning tracks, which is posted on our CANVAS site. |

注意事項
Notice for Students | | Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has made it difficult for many international students to enter the country, my current plan is to teach this course online. If conditions improve to the degree that there appears to be little risk of students contracting COVID-19 by coming to class, I will reconsider; but since my first priority is your health and wellbeing, I want to play it safe. So please assume that we will NOT be meeting in person unless I notify you otherwise. Also note that even in the event that we are able to hold in-class meetings, any student in the class will still be able to participate in this class entirely online if they are overseas or have concerns about attending in-person meetings.
If you are considering enrolling, or if you are still on the fence and would simply like to learn more about the course content, please visit the following signup sheet page on Google Docs so that I can send you an invitation to the course site:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bR2MzFYjbnVXDs1k5diy0P8MMZbIas39QNVt0ysRY-I/edit?usp=sharing
IMPORTANT: I will NOT be using NUCT to teach this class. Our class will be taught on CANVAS and our weekly meetings will be held on ZOOM. After you fill out the signup sheet linked above, I will provide you with the password for accessing the CANVAS site and the URL for ZOOM. It is your responsibility to write me and request access to CANVAS before the semester starts.
Note that I will be opening the course site on Friday, April 1st. That way, you can view the online version of the syllabus, peruse the schedule of course readings, and even get a head start working on some of the lesson modules before the semester starts.
Required statement about course withdrawal: If you wish to withdraw from this class, please inform me in writing (by e-mail) as early in the semester as possible. If you write me before the ILAS deadlines for roster changes, your name will be removed from the roster. If you write me later than that, then your name will continue to appear on the roster, and you will be given a grade of absent (W or 欠). |
