- The Zoom link for online classes will be provided in the manaba+R course before the first class.
Special note on the lessons and ZOOM session participations
- Note that the lessons involve multiple interactive activities for students to improve peer-learning. Thus, we may also utilize online tools (ZOOM meetings) during face-to-face session. Therefore, additionally you must be prepared with any electronic device (e.g., PC, tablet, or smartphone) to participate in these activities.
- For online sessions, in addition to electronic devices, be sure to be in a place to sit and take the lessons without disturbances from unnecessary sounds, people, pets, etc.
- All must be ready to switch on the cameras and unmute the mics at all times.
- If you do following actions during lessons, you will not receive any points for participation and contribution; middle of traveling, part-time work, voluntary/ internship workplace, etc.
