SCICU: Earphones for class
Dear SC student,
If you have earphones for your keitai or music player, please pack them and bring them along to class. It would be a good idea to leave them in your bag, so that you have them with you all the time and can use them whenever you may need for class or for personal study.
Thank you, Owen.
