During the fall semester of 2022, I use the hybrid method that combines both online lectures through zoom and face-to-face lectures in the classroom at the Ichigaya Campus. I will provide feedback of assignments through the Hosei hoppii system. For confidentiality reasons, I will send the result by email to every student one week after taking the quiz.
