This class is scheduled to be conducted in person on campus. However, depending on the number of students enrolled, as a measure against coronavirus infection, the students may need to be divided into classrooms which are connected online, or the students may need to take classes online from home every other week. Therefore, students will need to arrange for an Internet environment using a PC or tablet, Wi-Fi, etc. The final decision about this will be made after registration is completed, and students will be notified about any changes at that time.
