1. Use of smartphone for a personal call, messaging or playing games is highly discouraged. Smartphones can only be used as a dictionary or in classroom activities that will require the use of it. 2. Do not leave the class at any time without your professor's permission unless it is an emergency or if you are suddenly very sick. 갑자기 심함통증으로 인하여 아프거타 긴급한 상황이 아닐 경우를 제외한 나머지는 교수님의 허락 없이 교실을 떠나지 마십시요. 3. If you are late by 15 minutes after the class time start, you will be marked late (3 times late is equal to 1 unexcused absence). 4. Korean should not be spoken in a loud manner during the instructional time. It is understood that there are times when Korean translation is necessary in order to comprehend a situation that is unfamiliar. However, please first ask your instructor if it’s “ok” to translate. 여러분은 수업시간에 큰소리로 한국어로 이야기 할 수 없습니다. 몇몇의 교수님께서는 한국어 사용을 전혀 사용하지 못하도록 금지 하실수도 있습니다. 먼저 팀 구성원들에게 “한국어 사용이 괞찬습니까?”라고 질문하십시요. 만약 팀 구성원들이 반대할 경우 영어만을 사용하셔야 합니다. 그리고 만약 질문이 있을 경우 급우에게 물어보거나 선생님 또는 교수님에게 손을 들어 질문하시고 수업을 듣는 그룹안에서 영어에 능통한 급우가 있을경우 따로 질문을 하시기 바랍니다. 5.

You are expected to attend all class sessions, actively participate in class discussions, complete in-class exercises and fulfill all assignments. Assignments must be turned in at the beginning of class on the specified date due or no credit will be given.

The changes in the global market have brought forward the key competency of future global business leaders: the ability to move between cultures and translate information across cultures.
