評価の留意事項 Notes on Evaluation Criteria
配布教材と教室における電子機器の利用マナーについて Guidelines for Classroom Technology and Proper Use of Course Materials
- ケースメソッド教育の中核は、積極的な参加と知識の共有です。この教育を支えるため参加者は授業中の電子機器（例：スマートフォン、ノートパソコン）の使用を制限するよう求められます。許可を得た場合でも、教室内では電子機器は、ケース討議に資する目的でのみ使用してください。授業中は、たとえケース討議に関連していても、検索エンジンや生成AIの使用は避けて下さい。
- 配布教材（ケースを含む）は指定された授業への参加以外の目的で利用しないで下さい。著者の権利、著作権、特定情報の機密性を保護するため、許可なく教材を個人や組織（生成AI を含む）に提供することはできません。このルールは、印刷物・電子教材のいずれにも適用されます。
- 詳細は「教室における電子機器の利用マナー・教材の適切な利用に関するガイドライン」を確認のうえ、教員の指示に従い、責任をもって遵守してください。
- Active participation and shared learning is at the core of the case method learning. Participants are asked to limit their use of electronic devices (e.g., laptops, smartphones) during classroom sessions in support of this model. Even with permission granted, devices should only be used in the classroom in service to the case discussion. Online searches and generative AI tools, even if related to the case discussion, are discouraged while class is in session.
- Students are prohibited from using the course materials (including cases) distributed by the university for any purpose other than participation in the designated class. Students must not input, process or test course materials with any artificial intelligence (AI) tools, bots, software, or platforms without the author's permission. These actions violate the terms of use for the course materials and may also constitute copyright infringement.
- Please refer to the "Classroom Technology Guidelines / Guidelines for Properly Using Course Materials" for details, and follow the instructor's directions. You are expected to comply with these guidelines responsibly.
