First, the current "1 frame 90 minutes 7 lessons" will be changed to "1 frame 100 minutes 6 lessons", and the lessons conducted in 100 minutes will be divided into units (modules) every 50 minutes.Flexible lesson design is possible by utilizing this module every 50 minutes.It is also expected that classes will be developed to support students' independent learning.
In addition to the usual 6-time system, an early morning morning module, a lunch break lunch module, and a night module for working adults are installed after the end of the 6-time period.It will be used as a supplementary timetable such as supplementary lectures and intensive lectures as needed.
Furthermore, the class period will be shortened from the current 15 weeks to 14 weeks, and the system will be "2 semesters, 4 terms".By dividing the 14 weeks of each semester into 7 weeks in the first half and the second half, some classes can be completed in 7 weeks, creating an environment that makes it easier for students to take on the challenge of studying abroad.
In addition, "University Festival Week" will be newly established for all campuses, where classes will not be held for a certain number of days during the university festival.
The aim of the university is to make it easier to incorporate ideas to enhance the educational effect using methods such as active learning by extending the class hours and adding flexibility to the setting form of the class frames.Taking this modification as an opportunity, the policy is to make every effort to develop lessons that are even more attractive to students and to enhance the learning environment and student life.
