1. Object

▣ As the social distancing standard ‘Stage 4’ is extended, classes of Undergraduate Program will be operated based on online until 8^th week of the fall semester.

▣ As concerns about learning deficits in classes required with experiment, practical training are intensifying due to the prolonged social distancing Stage 4,

    standards for face-to-face classes will be eased.

▣ The Plans for Fall 2021 can be changed, depending on the COVID-19 situation.

 

2. Plans (6^th ~ 8^th week)

▣ When : 2021.Oct.6.(Wed.) ~ Oct.26.(Tue) [including midterm exams period]

▣ Plan

1) All Classes are conducted online by applying the social distancing step-Stage 4 at this point.

(Face-to-face class is allowed only for classes from major required with experiment, practical training within maximum 9 students,

 under the permission of the KMU COVID-19 Emergency Planning Committee.)

   2) Midterm exam

      - Face-to-face midterms are only for the pre-approved offline classes under the permission of the KMU COVID-19 Emergency Planning Committee.

※ Maximum 9 students can take an exam in a classroom according to the guideline for face-to-face class.

      - For online classes, midterm exams are also conducted online.

 

3. Principles

▣ Online classes will be conducted with online live lectures or with recorded lectures, and in 2 mixed forms.

※ notes for online lectures

-The attendance will be counted when the video lecture is played，and the attendance standards will be applied same as the face-to-face classes.

-Simultaneous playback of video lectures will be considered as double attendance, and attendance management of classes that grant credits is strictly managed,

 so simultaneous playback is not possible.

 

▣ Face-to-face classes

    1) Instructors and students must follow the guidelines such as keeping the social distance, wearing masks

       and also must secure a classroom capacity to meet the criteria such as maximum number of participating students and the density

       compared to the number of students in the classroom.

       ※ If the number of students exceeds the standard, the instructor needs to change a classroom to bigger or needs to secure additional classrooms.

 

    2) Providing online classes simultaneously and prohibiting reverse discrimination against those who do not attend offline classes

        ※ Instructors provide online classes for those who can’t attend the offline classes due to their status staying overseas or in local area, in quarantine, and etc.

 

    3) Following the guidelines on COVID-19 prevention

        - Taking temperature at front and back gates of school, equipping hand sanitizers in each classroom, wearing masks, replacing microphone covers,

          refreshing the air frequently in classrooms, following the guidelines when using some equipment required air circulation like air conditioner  

        - Not allowed to attend offline classes for those who have any symptoms of COVID-19(fever, respiratory symptoms, etc.)

- Mandatory for those who have any symptoms of COVID-19 to report in advance to their instructor by K*TALK, E-mail, etc. and to be in quarantine

- No disadvantage in attendance for those who can’t attend offline classes due to any symptoms of COVID-19

 

    4) Each department operates offline classes under their own plan for COVID-19 prevention

       - Instructors shall maintain the rules by keeping social distance between students, wearing masks, assigning seats, etc. as a person who in charge of prevention.

 

   5) Indoor sports facilities(judo gym, gyms, etc.), other facilities(computer rooms, etc.), outdoor sports facilities(playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball courts, etc.)

      are open only for offline classes.
