Introduction to the course
Chinese Language 104 is a transition from spoken language to written
language. It focuses on extensive reading of authentic materials while
extending learners vocabulary and employing the basic grammar learned
previously. It emphasizes fostering various reading skills as well as
enforcing speaking and writing abilities.
Students are encouraged to achieve information seeking and communicative
interactions at their own chosen pace and depth of learning. Students are
also encouraged to achieve independent thinking and creative use of the
language. Cooperative learning is part of the learning process and
experience.
The textbooks used include Cross the Threshold of Chinese Reading,
Textbook, Exercises Book, and other handouts.

Ground Rules
- Students are evaluated according to their overall performance. Students
are encouraged to communicate with the professor concerning their academic
achievement.
- All class assignments have to be handed in on time scheduled. Delayed
homework will only be corrected but not graded without a legitimate reason.
- Class attendance is 10% of the total grade. Should a student miss 5
lectures, all 10 points will be deducted. If an absence is unavoidable, the
instructor or the department should be notified before the class.
- The department's statement on academic honesty:
"Pursuit of truth is the prime activity in a university. As a member of this
community each student pledges to maintain standards of honesty and
integrity in all academic work. Students must rely exclusively upon their
own knowledge when taking a test. Failure to comply to these standards will
result in a failing grade."
- If you have a documented disability and wish to discuss academic
accommodations, please contact me within the first week of classes.
