A syllabus is created in order to familiarize the students with the class policy and learning schedule. It canbe considered a “contract” that both students and faculty must comply with. Students are encouraged toutilize the syllabus not only at the time of course registration but throughout the lecture period, as a tool tostudy systematically toward accomplishing the goals set by each course.

※As the Standards for Establishing Universities stipulate that “a class subject for one credit shallnormally be organized to contain contents that require 45 hours of learning,” 90 hours of learning isrequired in order to obtain two credits. In addition to the 30 hours of learning in class, the remaining 60
hours need to be fulfilled through learning outside of class. Assignments to be done outside of class asshown in the syllabus are the minimum amount of learning required by the instructor and theestimated time, which may not add up to 60 hours. In that case, students’ independent and active
engagement in learning outside of class is expected.
