Face-to-face Class Option for Experiment/Lab/Practice-based Courses

April 20, 2020

Office of Academic Affairs

Complying with the current social distancing campaign against the spread of COVID-19, 

1. SNU maintains the non-face-to-face class operations for lecture-based courses, until the end of the semester, in principle.

2. For experiments/lab sessions/practices-based courses, we will arrange necessary quarantine measures so that we can resume the face-to-face classes from the week of May 4.

3. In line with the time when the social distancing campaign is eased to everyday preventions (May 20, tentatively), academic operations such as face-to-face classes and final exams can be held.

4. Given the unexpected changes in learning environment, it has been advised to conduct an absolute grading and when inevitable, the S/U (Pass/Fail) grading with consent from all students in the class. Grading policy must be notified to students by April 24.

5. SNU Office of Academic Affairs is waiting for comments and opinions on the non-face-to-face class operations of this semester. Interim course evaluation period continues until May 1, which includes a questionnaire for feedback on the non-face-to-face class.
