備考 Remarks
Special notes
While the teacher is aware that students are busy and that this class is only one out of many
the students are taking, classroom participation and the external research on topics for presentation assignments will be a large percentage of the final grade. Non-responsive behavior during pair or group activities is disrespectful and demotivating to other students, and will hurt the final grade severely for non-responsive or non-cooperative students.
特別な注意事項
教師は、生徒が忙しいことを理解しており、このクラスが生徒が受講している多くのクラスのうちの1つに過ぎないことを認識していますが、授業への参加とプレゼンテーション課題のための外部研究は最終成績の大きな割合を占めます。ペアやグループ活動中の非応答的な行動は、他の生徒に対して失礼であり、やる気を削ぐものであり、非応答的または非協力的な生徒にとって最終成績に大きな悪影響を及ぼします。

重要
学生は絶対に解答付きの教科書を購入してはいけません。教科書は新品であるべきです。教師は学生の教科書を確認します。教科書に解答がある場合、学生は厳しく処罰されます。
