During the spring semester of 2021, I use the hybrid method combining both online lectures through zoom and face to face lectures in the classroom. All students are expected to prepare the group presentations, group discussion, debate, and more.

I will provide the feedback of the assignments through the Hosei hoppii system. For confidentiality reasons, the result will be sent by email to very student one week after taking the quiz.
