• We plan to utilize SNU's eTL system in three ways below:
(1) Class announcements: Please check your email regularly, and the eTL course page.
(2) Assignment submissions: Be ready to submit your homework and some of the quizzes to the
assignment submission links on the eTL course page. More information during the classes.
(3) Online or recorded lectures (if needed): First log in to eTL, then access the online or recorded
lecture link via the course page. This is to let the eTL system check your attendance automatically.
