This is an English-medium course. English must be used at all times in class, including for homework, quizzes, exams, and all other course-related work.
We will use NTU COOL to share course materials and announcements. You are expected to check both NTU COOL and your school email daily to stay informed and up to date.
All cell phones and other communication devices should be turned off or silenced during class. Students may be cold-called to answer questions. Active and voluntary participation in discussions is highly encouraged.
