Quote from: irfanlhr on August 20, 2015, 03:29:33 pmThanks enzr....but I dont know if this homework thing will work. I have heard that immigration office is very strict about attendence. Even they do surprise visit to offline classes. Therefore I am thinking to subscribe korea-based vpn (flyvpn) coupled with fast and reliable internet. I hope this will work outside of Korea. It would be nice to know from someone who has taken online KIIP classes outside of Korea without any problem.Everyone in my class, including myself, has missed several classes and we only meet once a week. However, its very small and my teacher is chill. I usually talk to her about it if I have to miss class and do the work for that week on my own. I don't recommend missing classes if avoidable, but I think it depends on your teacher if you can get away with it or not.

I just completed Beginner 2 and attendance was very strictly logged; anything below 80% was an instant 'fail'. I also had to change course to one running a week later to ensure I'd be in the country for the final exam. If you can't make your class's assigned final date it's also an instant 'fail'.If you fail you need to do the same course again. I was told by my teacher that if you want to redo the placement test you have to wait 6 months from the last class you attended or your last placement test (whichever was latest).If you don't think you can make up 80% of the hours it's probably not worth your time. It's a big time commitment and nobody really wants to do the same course twice. I managed to switch courses to one where I could make the 80% minimum but only because the class I wanted started one week later so I had a brief window to figure all this out.

I took the final exam on a wednesday with another class instead of on the friday I was supposed to take it on. So just 2 days early, so depends on how much of the final week you'll miss i supposed, but if you talk to your teacher about the final exam you can probably get it worked out.
My final is on Sunday I'm hoping I don't have a problem with the number of hours logged.

I'm having trouble joining the website. I've tried countless time to create an account and after pressing yes to join as a member, all of the words in my fields turn to gibberish. Anyone know what's wrong? It all goes wrong after I choose , register as a member.I'm an absolute beginner so I can't understand most of what is written in the dialogue box that pops up after the gibberish appears. thanks
Does anyone know if there's a way to contact KIIP for help? I'm also having issues joining the website but because it won't allow me to click "join" after entering my information. Nothing happens, no pop ups and no new page. It just won't allow me to select it. I've checked that the information is correct multiple times so I don't see what the problem is.I'm using a mac but have tried chrome and safari. Any insight appreciated!
Just received my score for the level 5 final test. 58. 60 is passing. Incredibly disappointed. Is there a way to petition to let me pass? Or maybe retake the test? Has anyone else had a similar experience? I'd rather not spend 40-50 more hours of class time for two lousy points if I don't have to.

Was this your first time taking the exam? If so, then you have to resit the class again, there is no other way. If it's your second time taking the exam then you may be able to get a pass grade from them. 58 is not bad! You did much better than I did. I walked out more confident than I walked in, but the reading part was my downfall.
I took the pre-level test today and the speaking portion was downright awful. The proctors were rude and basically wrote off everyone, except 1 person in my group because we were low level. One of the proctors made snide comments and talked about us in front of our faces, just because she felt she could. The questions were hard and I have no idea how they expected people who wanted to get into or have just completed level 1 to answer. Not to mention they didn't even give us a moment to collect our thoughts. Of course, it was definitely luck of the draw because there was a second group of test takers in the room and their proctors seemed a whole lot more friendlier and sympathetic to the needs of Korean learners.Oh well, what was I to expect from a free program?
