Your grades in the course are determined by daily performance. In addition to quizzes and homework, we credit any initiatives you take to learn, like doing internet search, to collect data in Chinese relevant to any topic that interests you, autobiographical reportages, interviews of Chinese nationals for their views on a subject matter, or plot summary of and/or elaboration on a work of art that interests you. Otherwise,
- Attendance 40%; roughly one point for each class;
- Quizzes; there are about 15 quizzes to take on Moodle, 30%
- Homework, 30%, including essays, interviews, writing in Teams and oral recitations
- To perfect your pronunciation, please bring your computer to class and set it up so that live caption transcribes your speech in Chinese.
- When and if you miss a class, meet me or the FLTA, in person or in Teams, as it counts as attendance
