Guidance on academic management for

the 2022 spring semester

On January 27, our university decided to conduct "face-to-face class" for the spring semester of 2022 through the Academic Committee. It is a decision that comprehensively considers various factors, including the fact that face-to-face classes are presented as a principle in the "Promoting Step-by-step Daily Recovery in the Higher Education Sector" announced by the Ministry of Education. Therefore, in principle, undergraduate theory classes, laboratory practice, practical skills, and graduate classes are all conducted face-to-face classes.

However, in consideration of the safety of the Chung-ang family, some non-face-to-face classes are applied depending on the number of students. Lectures with more than 40 students will be held through non-face-to-face. However, we have decided to allow face-to-face classes with the approval of the dean if more than lectures with more than 40 students are secured in the form of circular attendance or hybrid classes. After the class registration is completed, we will announce the types of classes for face-to-face and non-face-to-face classes after February 18th, when we can determine the exact number of classes for each lecture.

If you have to conduct a non-face-to-face class, it is a principle to conduct a live video lecture. This is because the value of communication that professors and students can share through live lectures is precious.

According to the implementation of face-to-face classes, we will also change the way we evaluate our grades. The absolute evaluation, which was inevitably applied for the past two years in 2020 and 2021, will be converted to the relative evaluation type B (A: within 50%, A+B: within 90%). In addition, we will regain the graduation recognition system (English, Chinese characters), which was stopped to temporary exemption.
