Course Requirements Course grades will be assigned based on the following requirements. Each student must partner with one other student and give a presentation and lead discussion for 30-45 minutes at one of the Chinese Culture Club meetings. There will be two such presentations at each meeting. Short assignments will be given during our one day on campus before departure. Participation and cooperation during all of the scheduled lectures, activities, and group discussions on the trip will be required.
Cooperation includes mature and appropriate behavior at all times.
Students will be required to keep a journal of their observations. Participants are to turn in a 4-5 page typewritten summary of their experience, synthesizing their observations, thoughts, and analyses regarding our trip. This could include thoughts on traveling, on cross-cultural experiences, on China, or other relevant topics, and should be more than just a synopsis of your journal. Both this summary and the journals will be due at the end of the second week of the Spring semester. During each meeting, two groups of three people will give a presentation and lead discussion on one of the topics listed below, or on another approved topic.
