Academics

Academics

Arts and Sciences (Hanyang University) is ideal for students looking to engage in studies at one of Asia슬롯사이트™s top universities for STEM, humanities, and the arts. Founded originally as an engineering college, Hanyang has developed into a powerhouse of innovation, with a huge variety of facilities for students to create media, work with transformative technologies, and connect with students and faculty across a broad range of disciplines. Located in the very heart of Seoul, near the Han River and a quick bus or subway trip to most parts of the city, Hanyang offers students an exceptional academic experience.

For this program, all students enroll in at least one Korea-related course to help deepen their understanding of this exciting country and help them learn more about its history, culture, economics, or language. Hanyang offers hundreds of courses in English, as well as a full complement of Korean-language courses. Students will take 12-18 credits per term as they become part of this vibrant campus community.

The Korean academic year begins in March, with the first term running until mid-June. Fall semester begins in early September and concludes in mid-December. Most university courses use lectures as the main component, combined with group work and presentations.

Academic Culture

Korean university classes tend to be more lecture based than classes in the U.S., but can also incorporate lab work, class discussions, group and individual presentations, and other activities.  Students should expect homework assignments on a regular basis and to have rigorous midterm and final exams, and so may need to budget more study time outside of class than they regularly would at their home institutions. Regular attendance in class is expected, and students who miss 30% or more of classes will not be allowed a passing grade. STEM courses may assume very high mathematics competency compared to similarly positioned courses in the U.S. While most courses at Hanyang are open to all students, there are a smaller number of courses where Hanyang runs sections in English exclusively for international and exchange students. Hanyang classes usually meet 2-4 times a week, with class times running between 1-2 hours depending on the course and schedule. 

슬롯머신 courses are designed to follow U.S. academic culture and standards. The class environment typically features a combination of traditional lecture and discussion with co-curricular excursions and activities. Heavy emphasis is placed on student participation. Similar to classes at U.S. institutions, students should expect to spend an average of two hours of preparation and study for each hour in 슬롯머신 classes. To avoid falling behind, students should not plan personal travel out of Seoul when classes are in session and plan trips for the long weekends.  

Both 슬롯머신 and Hanyang use learning management systems (LMS) to communicate with students and oversee courses.  Students will need to regularly use Hanyang슬롯사이트™s system to stay up to date with coursework and information.   

ASU Courses: You may find yourself in classes with students from ASU, other American universities, and students from around the world. Some are earning their degrees entirely online, while others, like you, are supplementing their education with an online course. You슬롯사이트™ll receive direct and individualized support from faculty, 100% online. Most ASU online courses are asynchronous, meaning there are no set log-in times, but make sure to verify this before the add/drop deadline in case you want to make a change.

Class Format

Compared to the U.S., Korean teaching styles lean toward lectures and may be less interactive than students are used to. Typically, classes meet 2-4 times per week, for 1-3 hours depending on the course.  Hanyang University courses are usually mixed to include both local and international students, but some high-demand courses may have separate sections exclusively for international students. STEM courses often demand a higher level of mathematical proficiency compared to their U.S. counterparts. Attendance holds significant weight, and students missing 30% or more of class meetings will fail the course. Hanyang employs its own learning management system, which is based on Canvas. 

Courses taught at the 슬롯머신 Center are typically for 슬롯머신 students only. Classes at 슬롯머신 meet 2-4 times per week, for anywhere from 1-3 hours per class session, depending on the course. Attendance in 슬롯머신 classes is strictly enforced, both for classes and required co-curricular excursions. Instruction is supported and augmented online by 슬롯머신슬롯사이트™s learning management system, Canvas. 

ASU online courses meet in 슬롯사이트œsessions슬롯사이트 that are 7.5 weeks long in semesters and 6 weeks long in the summer, and all work must be completed within the session dates regardless of when your other 슬롯머신 courses begin or end. You슬롯사이트™ll need a standard PC or Mac desktop or laptop computer with a download speed higher than 25 Mbps, as well as access to email, productivity software like Microsoft Office and other applications needed to perform a variety of educational functions. Most course materials you will need are available online. Since you are working mostly or entirely asynchronously, you슬롯사이트™re given deadlines for your assignments by your instructor or in your syllabus, but you can work at your own pace within these due dates. Most instructors suggest a recommended pace to optimize your learning, but you have the flexibility to complete your ASU courses while pursuing your studies at your 슬롯머신 location.

Grading

슬롯머신 reports all final course grades to students슬롯사이트™ home institutions using a U.S. letter grade equivalent scale of A-F. For 슬롯머신-administered courses, students슬롯사이트™ grades are based on attendance, class participation, homework, project work, presentations, and midterm and final examinations. Learning outcomes assessment is continuous through personal reflections, evaluation feedback, self-assessment, and requirements as set out in course syllabi. Hanyang University courses are graded using letter grade equivalent scale of A-F, and primary assessments usually include course, presentations, written examinations, with final exams typically worth 25-50% of the final grade for the course.

ASU grading follows the same format and standards as ASU courses taught in-person. As a U.S. institution of higher education, the grading practices should be familiar to any 슬롯머신 student. ASU awards grades of "A+," "A," "A-," "B+," " B," "B-," "C+," "C," "D," or "E.슬롯사이트 슬롯사이트œPass/fail슬롯사이트 or 슬롯사이트œAudit슬롯사이트 is not allowed for 슬롯머신 students.
