Class flow
This class will be held at zoom. In addition, we plan to carry out group work by utilizing the breakout function of zoom. This course emphasizes active learning that students themselves learn actively. Students must attend each zoom class and submit a summary report. If you are unable to attend the zoom lecture for any reason, please report it to the faculty member in charge. Zoom attendance will be reflected in the course grades.

This class will be held at zoom. In addition, we plan to carry out group work by utilizing the breakout function of zoom. This course emphasizes active learning that students themselves learn actively. Therefore, it is desirable for students who wish to take classes to have an internet environment that allows them to access long-term video distribution classes and a computer that can relay video, which is essential for group work.
