この授業の履修を希望する者は必ず初回授業に出席すること。このクラスの履修者数の上限は40名であり、初回授業出席者が40名を超えた場合は、初回授業において選抜（抽選）を行う。初回授業において選抜が実施された場合、その後の履修者の受け入れは行わない。なお、状況に応じて3年生以上の履修登録が優先される場合がある（ただし初回授業への出席は必須）。
Students wanting to take this class must attend from the first lesson. The maximum number of students for this class is 40. If the number of students hoping to register in the first lesson exceeds 40, students will be chosen (by lottery). If the holding of a lottery in the first lesson becomes necessary, class registration will not be automatic. Depending on the situation, 3rd and 4th year students wanting to register for the class will be given priority (but only those who attend the first class).


Most of the information will be given during the class period. It is important for the student to attend every class and do so with a willingness to communicate in English.

Students must gain a score of 60% or more and be in attendance for 2/3 of classes in order to pass. (for online classes, this will include interaction with the online material)

If a student misses 5 in a semester (for any reason), they will not be allowed to pass. (In some cases, an assignment will count as attendance)
