Course grading

The final grade for the course is determined based on attendance and the final report. Since the purpose of this lecture course is, in part, to practice English, attendance is important. Attendance counts for 50% of the total points.

Report deadline

The reports must be submitted in June as a PDF file sent to my email mlippmaa@issp.u-tokyo.ac.jp. Report subjects are posted on the lecture notes page, which you can access after logging in.
