Teaching approach: <<Learning requirements>>

1. Each student must have the textbook.
2. Students must carefully read the textbook chapters and watch the accompanying videos each week.
3. Before asking questions, students should discuss with their peers.
4. Key words, functions, and sentence structures should be memorized.

<<Grading method>>

1. The first class each week will have a test on the previous week’s content.
2. The passing score for each week’s test will be different. Five failures will result in a failing grade for the semester.
3. Students who are absent without a valid reason for the first class will be required to withdraw.
4. Students should read the textbook and watch the accompanying videos carefully before asking questions, as most answers can be found in the textbook.

<<Absence and missed exam handling>>

1. Students who are absent without a valid reason for the first class will be required to withdraw.
2. Students who miss an exam without a valid reason will not be able to make it up and will receive a score of 0 for that exam. Three unexcused absences from exams are equivalent to failing the course.
3. Attendance will be taken randomly during class, and arriving late will count as one absence. Six or more absences will result in a deduction in the final grade.
4. If absent for a valid reason, students should fill out a leave form. The teacher will review the reason to determine if it is sufficient.

<<Class format>>

• The teacher will give lectures and demonstrations, and the teaching assistant will demonstrate and explain.
• The teacher and teaching assistant will ask students about their reading materials.
• Students will practice solving problems in class and explain their reasoning.
• Students should bring their laptops to participate in exams, in-class activities, group discussions, and online courses.
• Discussion groups will be formed to support one another.
• In the latter part of the course, depending on the students’ learning progress, students will be guided in completing in-class projects.
• Eating, using phones, or engaging in other behaviors that disrupt the class is prohibited.
