第1回目の授業に必ず出席のこと。

Since this is a discussion class, enrollment will be limited to 20 students. An English proficiency check will be conducted on the first day of class to ensure that the participants can engage in class discussions. It is highly recommended that the students take Introduction to Microeconomics before taking Introduction to Macroeconomics. It is not advisable for the students to take both courses at the same time.
