Notice boards are used to inform students of important information about Level A Japanese, such as the times and the locations of tests. Sign up sheets for tests will also be posted here. Such information will also be announced in lectures and may be on the home page, but in some cases the only form of written notice will be on the notice boards. Ignorance of the information will not be considered a sufficient excuse if the notice has been displayed on the board for two weeks. Sometimes you may face difficulties with your study that cannot be sorted out in class, or need advice about study techniques or other matters.
Difficulties tend to grow the longer they are left, so please seek our advice early.
Staff have set office hours advertised on our doors or on the noticeboards, when you can contact us in person or by phone. You can make an appointment to see us at other times. Please identify yourself as a Level A student and leave details of a time and contact number we can reach you if you want us to get back to you. It is our policy to talk to students in Japanese as much as possible, even outside class, and encourage you to try your Japanese out on us when you come to see us. However, if you have a problem to discuss we can always be persuaded to switch to English.
