Evaluation method and criteria
The final score is calculated as follows: 80% of the class score (100 points) + 20% of the TOEIC IP score for a full score. A minimum score of 60% is required to pass the course. For this course, a TOEIC IP score of 700 is considered a perfect score (100 points); scores above 700 will be counted as 100 points, and if the TOEIC IP score is less than 200, it is converted to a score of 0. 30% of the mid-term and final tests will be administered from the TOEIC mini test. A score of 55 or higher will be converted to 100 points.

Participation: 20%
Assignments / Short Tests: 20%
Mid-semester test: 30% (30％ of the mid-term test is assessed with TOEIC mini test)
