COURSE INTRODUCTION
    In the second semester of elementary Chinese, we will continue to make efforts in learning and improving our
pronunciation, mastering more grammar patterns and vocabulary, and practicing writing more characters. Students
are required to do the following:
    1. Attending class every day. In case of illness or emergencies, you will be excused with sufficient documents.
The final grade will be lower due to the number of unexcused absences.
    2. Preparation for class. Read the pages and do the exercises assigned on the syllabus.
    3. Turning homework on time. Late homeworks will be checked but not credited.
    4. Language Lab. In addition to regularly listening to tapes as part of your daily preparation, you are expected
to visit the language center for a minimum of one hour per week to listen to tapes. This is mandatory, and
failure to complete this hour will adversely affect your grade. Sign in on the sheet (under Chinese 102) at the
front desk.
     5. Dictations and tests. In addition to daily dictations on new (and old) characters, there will be one test for
approximately every three lessons from PCR. There will also be a comprehensive midterm and final exam (with
both written and oral sessions).

GRADING SYSTEM
 

Class performance	10%
Homework	15%
Dictations	20%
Quizzes	20%
Midterm	10%
Final exam	25%

  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
    1. Knowlton International Dining Hall. Students should have lunch at the Chinese Language Table at the
Knowlton Dining Hall to practice conversational skills with fellow students and faculty.
    2. You must receive at least an average grade of B- for the year to advance to second year Chinese (CHI 201).
