    ※ notes for online lectures

- The attendance will be counted when the video lecture is played，and the attendance standards will be applied same as the face-to-face classes.

- Simultaneous playback of video lectures will be considered as double attendance, and attendance management of classes that grant credits is strictly managed,

   so simultaneous playback is not possible.

 

▣ Face-to-face classes

    1) Instructors and students must follow the guidelines such as keeping the social distance, wearing masks

       and also must secure a classroom capacity to meet the criteria such as maximum number of participating students and the density

       compared to the number of students in the classroom.

       ※ If the number of students exceeds the standard, the instructor needs to change a classroom to bigger or needs to secure additional classrooms.

​

    2) Providing online classes simultaneously and prohibiting reverse discrimination against those who do not attend offline classes
