Advice to Students on Study and Research Methods

(1) At least 10 sessions of attendance are required for earning credit. 10回以上の出席を単位取得要件とします。
 
(2) In December, you will take the TOEIC® Listening & Reading IP Test (online) outside of class. Based on the test scores, points will be added or deducted from the regular scores of each English course you are taking in the fall semester as follows (No points will be added if any cheating or other dishonest behavior is detected even once). Add 5 points: 450 points or above (BA level)/550 points or above (IL level)/600 points or above (IH level)/700 points or above (AD level); Deduct 5 points: in case of non-participation or if the score is lower than 200 points.12月にTOEIC®Listening &Reading IPテスト（オンライン） を授業外で受験します。テストスコアに基づき、秋学期履修中の各英語科目の平常点に次のとおり加点・減点を行います（一度でも不正行為等があった場合は加点なし）。5点加点: 400点以上(BAレベル）/500点以上(ILレベル）/550点以上(IHレベル）/650点以上(ADレベル）; 5点減点：不受験の場合、および、スコアが200点未満だった場合。
