LCJ Update: Important Notice about comleting your courses (Academic & EAP)
Filed under: Uncategorized — Nakayama @ 8:17 pm
Dear Students
I hope all of you are well and safe.
Reluctantly, we have decided to cancel classes for the remainder of this term because (1) we are concerned that this is a time when many of you need to be in a safe place or with your families; (2) we need to make some minor repairs to the building before classes can start again, (3) we realize that many of you may face problems commuting to Tokyo from distant suburban areas. We are sorry that we have had to take this action and hope you will understand our need to do it.
If you decide to move from your current location to another one, please inform us, so that we know where you are.
Do not worry about your grades at this time. We have set up guidelines for both Academic and EAP students. See those guidelines below.
Take care of yourselves, and I am looking forward to seeing you when the new term starts.
Sincerely
Alan Brender
Associate Dean

学生の皆さまへ
皆さまいかがお過ごしでしょうか？
大変残念ではありますが、今学期は休校とするという決定をしたことをお知らせいたします。その理由としては1）この大震災に直面し、皆さまとご家族の安全を第一に考えたこと2）授業を再開するために校舎に多少の修理が必要なこと 3）この交通状況の混乱の中、皆さまの中にはキャンパスに来ることが難しい学生がいること を鑑みた上での決定です。皆さまにはご迷惑をお掛けいたしますが、状況をご理解いただきご了承願えればと思います。
もし、東京を離れる場合は、今後の連絡のこともありますので必ず事務局にご連絡ください。
成績については、アカデミックの学生もEAPの学生も、ガイドラインを設定しましたのでご心配いりません。下記のアカデミックおよびEAPガイドラインをご参照ください。
２０１１年夏学期にまた元気な皆さんにお会いできることを楽しみにしています。それまでどうぞご自愛ください。

Academic Guidelines
You will have several options from your teachers on grading which includes: (1) accepting the grade you have earned up to this point in a particular class, (2) finishing the work or tests your teachers have assigned you by April 8 or (3) taking an incomplete grade and finishing the work assigned by April 25. If you choose to receive an incomplete grade, you need to accept the terms of the agreement I have pasted at the end of this message.
You can choose the option that best suits you. Your teachers will be contacting you in the next few days to tell you what you need to do. If you do not hear from any of your teachers by Tuesday, March 22, please let me know, and I will check into the situation.
I will send you a message tomorrow about registration, so be sure to look for it.

Incomplete Grade Assignment Contract
Student’s Name ______________________________________________________
Term: Spring Term, 2011
Course number and title____________________________________________
Professor’s name _________________________________________________
Reason for the request of an incomplete grade: A natural disaster forced Lakeland College Japan to cancel classes for the last two weeks of the term. I need more time to catch up on my assignments and studies because of the trauma of the disaster.
Summary of the work to be completed:
The deadline for the incomplete grade is April 25.
I _________________________________ , agree to complete the work needed by the deadline indicated above. I understand that if the incomplete is not completed by the deadline date, I will receive the grade without the completed work that is noted below for the final grade of the class. If I have any concerns or questions, I understand it is my responsibility to initiate contact with the professor.
Signature of student _______________________________________ Date __________
Professor’s approval _________________________________________ Date ___________
Current grade/grade without completed work __________
EAP Guidelines
There will not be any more EAP classes until the next semester begins on April 25. However, your hard work this semester will count just like it does in any semester.
Grades: Your teachers will calculate your grades based on what you have done so far this semester. This semester has 54 class days and we have met on 43 of those days. In other words, we have completed 80% of the semester. Your teachers have more than enough information (quizzes, essays, paragraphs, speeches, midterm exams, etc.) to calculate your grades. In other words, all students will receive Skill and Performance grades as usual and will receive credit for this semester.
You will receive your grades in the mail during the 2nd week of April. After the new students take their placement tests on April 18th, a class schedule will be made and LCJ will contact you as to whether you will be an AM or PM student. Summer semester classes begin April 25th.
TOEFL: LCJ has a TOEFL test for new students on April 18. Because last week’s TOEFL was cancelled, you may take it on that day (*it’s optional). If you would like to take TOEFL on April 18, please contact LCJ (call the school) by March 24th at 2:00 PM.
Keeping up your English: Please do as much English study as you can during the next month. For example, you should continue doing the same outside-class listening practice that you have done for your classes. I will send an email to all of you soon with some independent-study tips. Please check your LCJ mail account!
If you have any questions, you can email me ([email protected]) or Nakayama-san ([email protected]).
Please stay safe during these difficult times. All of your teachers are looking forward to having a great semester when you come back in April.
Sincerely,
Roger Grabowski, EAP Program Coordinator
みなさんご存じのように、残念ながらレイクランド大学ジャパン・キャンパスの春学期はこのまま休校となりました。４月２５日の夏学期までEAPの授業はないということになります。しかしながらみなさんが行ってきた努力は、今までと同じようにみなさんのことを裏切ることはありません。
成績について：
今学期の成績は、担当教授が今学期の今までのみなさんの成果により判断いたします。今学期は各クラス54回の授業の内、43回の授業をすでに行っていますが、これは今学期の約80％の授業を終了していることになります。担当教授は成績をつけるために必要なクイズ、エッセイ、パラグラフ、スピーチ、中間試験などの重要な情報を十分に持っています。つまりEAPの学生には通常通りパフォーマンスとスキルの成績が出ます。成績は４月の第2週に郵送でお送りします。午前のクラスか午後のクラスかについては４月１８日の週にご連絡します。また、新しく教養課程に進む学生については、オリエンテーションおよび履修登録の日程も成績と一緒にお送りします。
TOEFLについて：
LCJでは新入生のクラス分けテストとして４月１８日（月）9：00にTOEFLを行います。今学期はTOEFLを実施できませんでしたので、もしTOEFL受験を希望する方はこの日に受験できます。希望する方は必ず３月２４日（木）午後２時までに事務局までお電話にてご連絡ください。
英語の勉強について：
次の学期まで、なるべく英語に触れるようにしましょう。例えば授業外で行っているリスニングプラクティスなどはそのまま続けましょう。みなさんには私（Roger先生）からEメールでStudy Tipsをお送りしますので、LCJメールをチェックしてください！
もし質問などがありましたら [email protected] または中山さん [email protected] までご連絡ください。担当教授たちは４月に皆さんと会えるのを楽しみにしています。まだまだ予断を許さない状況ですが、どうぞご自愛ください。
