Professors will conduct offline classes in the classroom and students can choose whether to take classes in the classroom or online. Online classes will be divided into live streaming method and uploading pre-made lecture method. Thus, students should check the operational method before enrolling in classes.
All experiments, practical trainings, small classes conducting based on presentation/discussion for freshmen, and classes for graduate students will be operated as offline (face-to-face).
