Summary & Review

Work to be done outside of class (preparation, etc.)

本授業の準備学習・復習時間は、合わせて1時間を標準とします。/University guidelines suggest preparation and review should be around an hour a week for a one-credit course.

Students should read the following unit before each class and make a note of unknown words or expressions in a B-5 notebook.

In the first class, the instructor will check students know how to ask questions about the meaning of words, and the instructor will conduct ad hoc, simple checks on student understanding in the class. Students are expected to grasp all the vocabulary and grammar in the previous class by the time of the next class. The instructor may ask random questions of students during the class to check. In this way the students should have little trouble preforming the tests.
