8 Attendance / Participation (10%)
Class attendance is mandatory (except for the first and second week of classes). 수업 출석은 필수 평가 항목입니다. (수강 정정기간이 포함된 첫째 주와 둘째 주는 예외로 합니다.) Attendance is mandatory so that students participate in class. If you are not here, you cannot participate and therefore your mark will be lower. 수업에 오지 않는 학생들은 수업에 참여할 수 없으며, 수업에 참여하지 않는 학생들은 좋은 학점을 받기 어려울 수 있습니다.

9 Attendance/Participation (10%)
For each class absent the student will get -1%; if you have an excuse you have 2 weeks to give the professor an excuse note. 수업 결석 시 출석 평가 항목에서 1점씩 삭감되며, ‘결강사유서’는 늦어도 2주 이내에 제출하셔야 합니다. 결석일 이후 2주 이후에 제출된 결강사유서 인정 불가. It is the student’s responsibility to give the excuse note to the professor within 2 weeks of their absence. 결강사유서 제출은 본인 책임이므로, 제출되지 않거나 제출 시기를 놓치는 경우 교수는 어떠한 책임도 지지 않습니다.

10 Attendance/Participation (10%)
Students who often come late to class will also have a lower mark. If you are over 10 minutes late (-0.5%) If you are absent for half the class, that will count as an absent (-1%) If your previous class is far away, please inform the teacher. 거리가 먼 곳에서 전 강좌를 수강하여 어쩔 수 없이 수업 참석이 늦어지는 경우, 사전에 미리 교수에게 안내해주기 바랍니다.
