Note: Due to the possible connection problem for a long time lecture, we suggest that for each lecture, we do 55min lecture + 5min rest for disconnection, and then reconnect for the second half of the lecture. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this. A reminder will be sent to the registered email one day before each lecture. In case there has to be some change for the time or date of some lectures, notices will be sent a few days before.
