A: How many credits do we need to graduate?
B: 128 credits, but this is the minimum. We can also apply for credit overload.
A: So that means we have to get 16 credits per semester on average. Most classes will earn two or three credits each, so we will have to take from five to eight classes in the semester.

B: Hmm, yes, but I think it’s a good idea to take more classes in the first and second years, so that the third and fourth years are more relaxed.
A: That makes sense. That’ll be why my senior schoolmate recommended that I aim for at least 20 credits in the first year, including the compulsory, elective and general education classes.
A: 我們的畢業門檻是幾個學分啊？
B: 一百二十八個學分，這是下限，我們可以超修。
A: 那這樣我們平均每個學期要修十六學分，大部分的課是兩學分或三學分，所以大概要修五到八門課才行。
B: 嗯，不過我覺得還是趁大一大二多修一點課，這樣大三和大四會比較輕鬆。
A: 有道理，難怪我學姐建議我大一至少要修二十學分，包括必修、選修和通識課程。

As the COVID-19 pandemic shows signs of slowing down, and having considered the Taiwanese medical system’s ability to cope, as well as the demands of business and trade, Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung, who heads the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC), announced that, starting March 1, foreigners (including those from Hong Kong, Macao and China) holding valid residence certificates for Taiwan can enter the country without applying for permission in advance. However, they are required to present a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result obtained within three days before their flight, and home isolation after entry still
According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Labor, starting full-time salaries for university and junior college graduates in the last five years were highest in the financial and insurance sector, averaging NT$47,361, and lowest in the hospitality sector, averaging NT$32,990. Comparing different disciplines, average salaries among technology, media and industry-focused disciplines — physics, chemistry and Earth sciences — all broke the NT$50,000 salary barrier, while graduates of catering, tourism and civic and life services experienced the lowest salaries, averaging NT$31,163. Cross-comparison of different industries and disciplines shows that students must not only read the right disciplines, but also
I really want to take that class! (4/5) 我好想要加選喔！（四） A: Yesterday my roommate took me to sit in on one of the general education classes he’d selected, and good god! The teacher was great, I really want to take that class! B: Because the teacher was hot? A: Ha, there was that, but the main reason was the teacher’s ability to explain complex concepts in a very simple way, such that even a dunce like me understood! I was really impressed by her. B: It was the complete opposite for me. I took an inter-departmental elective class today, and discovered my ex was there. I was knocked for
I really want to take that class! (3/5) 我好想要加選喔！（三） A: I flunked the Freshman English class last semester. Does that mean that I can’t continue with the class next semester? B: Let’s have a look. Hmm, this class goes for the whole academic year, so you can still take the class next semester, but you will need to retake the one you failed last semester. A: Do you mean that in the sophomore year I will have to take the first year English class together with freshman students? I don’t like the sound of that: how embarrassing! B: Oh, it’s not that bad!
