Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

See course materials.

Reference books, course materials, etc.

Materials used in class can be found on T2SCHOLA.

Assessment criteria and methods

Quiz at the course session and attendance. If misconduct, such as plagiarism or misappropriation of someone else's work is committed, we will treat it strictly： The grade of the subject will be 0.
