(2023.2.16)On preparing for AY2023 classes on Waseda Moodle/Moodle Version Upgrade
From the AY2023, the class time of each period will be extended to 100 minutes. Semester courses will be composed of 14 classes, and quarter courses will be composed of 7 classes. However, we have created a total of 15 Waseda Moodle sections, regardless of whether the course is a semester or quarter course, taking into account the case where you will be importing course content from AY2022.
Please delete or hide the 15th section as appropriate before the students access Waseda Moodle when courses begin.
