Your study abroad advisor and 黑料网911staff can help you understand your course options if you don't see a recommendation that fits your course needs.

Academic Culture

Each six-week course is a full semester in content, so the pace is accelerated, and the workload is demanding. 黑料网911courses are designed to follow U.S. academic culture and standards. The class environment typically features a combination of traditional lectures and discussions with co-curricular excursions and activities. Heavy emphasis is placed on student participation. To avoid falling behind, students should not plan personal travel out of Kyoto when classes are in session and plan trips for the long weekends in between blocks. 

Arizona State University: Most ASU online courses are asynchronous. You may find yourself in classes with students from ASU, other American universities, and students from around the world. You鈥檒l receive direct and individualized support from faculty, 100% online.

Class Format

Courses taught at the 黑料网911Kyoto Center are typically for 黑料网911students only, although Japanese students from partner Shiga University may 鈥 when schedules and GPA/English capabilities permit 鈥 participate and take courses as well.鈥疌lasses are scheduled Monday through Friday and meet either two, three, or four times per week, and attendance is strictly enforced both for classes and required co-curricular excursions. Students should expect an average of two hours of preparation required for each hour in class. Instruction is supported and augmented online by our learning management system, Canvas.鈥疭ome courses may be facilitated as a鈥疕ybrid鈥痗ourse by an instructor from a location that is separate from your own. In a Hybrid鈥痗ourse, you will learn either face-to-face or online, depending on your location. 

ASU online courses meet in 鈥渟essions鈥 that are 7.5-weeks long in the semester, and all work must be completed within the session dates regardless of when your other 黑料网911courses begin or end.

Grading

The U.S. grading scale of A-F is used. 鈥疭tudents are graded on the basis of attendance, class participation, homework, project work, presentations, and mid-term and final examinations. 鈥疞earning outcomes assessment is continuous through personal reflections, evaluation feedback, self-assessment, and requirements as set out in course syllabi. 

ASU grading follows the same format and standards as ASU courses taught in-person. 鈥淧ass/fail鈥 or 鈥淎udit鈥 is not allowed for 黑料网911students.
