Advice to Students on Study and Research Methods

Active participation in class activities is required. Participation includes in-class activities, activities via manaba+R (reading course news, turning in assignments, contributing to discussions on the bulletin board) and other methods required by the teacher. Contact your teacher early if you have any problem due to the current COVID situation. Please remember you are responsible for any information you miss if you are absent. Keep track of when your assignments are due: no (and late) submission will lower your grade.
