The Four Pillars of Destiny

Introduction

Bazi, also known as the Four Pillars of Destiny, is a significant branch of traditional Chinese metaphysics. By analyzing an individual’s year, month, day, and hour of birth (the Four Pillars), eight Chinese characters are derived to interpret their destiny. Rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, Bazi incorporates concepts such as Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Celestial Stems, and the Terrestrial Branches. It has been widely used for life planning and auspicious date selection.

Origin and Development

The origins of Chinese metaphysics can be traced back to the ancient Yin-Yang and Five Elements theories, which are integral components of traditional Chinese philosophy. These theories propose that all things in the universe are composed of two opposing forces, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. These elements and forces interact and transform with each other, driving the changes and development of all things in the universe. Built upon the foundation of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, Chinese metaphysics, particularly in the form of destiny analysis, emerged as a system for predicting an individual’s fate and fortune by analyzing the four essential elements of their birth: year, month, day, and hour.
Chinese metaphysics has undergone a long and evolving process throughout China’s history, with various forms and directions of development in different historical periods. During the Tang Dynasty, this field saw significant advancement and refinement, with the emergence of many renowned practitioners and important works. In the Song Dynasty, Chinese metaphysics began to merge with religious practices, such as Taoism and Buddhism, giving rise to distinct schools of thought. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had become widely disseminated and applied, evolving into an essential cultural phenomenon within Chinese society.

Yin and Yang

The theory of Yin and Yang originates from the Book of Changes, as encapsulated in the phrase: “The Taiji produces two forms; the two forms produce the Four Phenomena; the Four Phenomena produce the Eight Trigrams.” This theory attributes the changes in the world to the interplay of Yin and Yang, representing the unity of opposites in a dynamic process of transformation. Yin and Yang are not fixed; they transform into one another depending on external conditions. Within Yin, there is an element of Yang, which can transform into Yang when the conditions are right. Similarly, Yang contains an aspect of Yin, which can, under certain circumstances, turn into Yin. As such, Yin and Yang can further be divided into four categories: Yang within Yang, Yin within Yin, Yin within Yang, and Yang within Yin. These divisions continuously evolve and transform, giving rise to the myriad phenomena in the world.

The Five Elements

The Five Elements theory views all things in the world as composed of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The constant movement and transformation of these Five Elements create the diverse and vibrant material world. Thus, everything in existence carries the intrinsic qualities of these five fundamental elements. Moreover, the relationships of mutual generation (sheng) and mutual restriction (ke) among the Five Elements influence the overall characteristics of the entities they constitute. Mutual generation (sheng) refers to one element promoting or nurturing another, while mutual restriction (ke) refers to one element restraining or inhibiting another. The cycle of mutual generation is as follows: Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, and Water generates Wood. This is explained by natural phenomena: wood fuels fire; fire reduces substances to ash, enriching the soil; from soil, metal can be extracted; metal cools and condenses water vapor; and water nourishes the growth of trees and plants. The cycle of mutual restriction operates as follows: Wood restrains Earth, Earth restrains Water, Water restrains Fire, Fire restrains Metal, and Metal restrains Wood. This is because wood can penetrate and disrupt soil, soil can block and contain water, water extinguishes fire, fire can melt metal, and metal, shaped into tools, can cut down trees.

The Celestial Stems and Terrestrial Branches

The ancients referred to the heavens as Tian Gan (Celestial Stems) and the earth as Di Zhi (Terrestrial Branches). The Celestial Stems consist of ten characters: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. The Terrestrial Branches comprise twelve characters: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. These Stems and Branches were used to record time, with the ten Stems and twelve Branches combined sequentially to form sixty units. Odd-numbered Stems pair with odd-numbered Branches, and even-numbered Stems pair with even-numbered Branches. Starting from Jia Zi and ending at Gui Hai, this cycle is known as the “Sixty Jiazi.” This system was used by ancient Chinese people to record years, months, and days in a continuously repeating cycle. The ancients also divided a day and night into twelve periods, known as “Shichen” . Each Shichen corresponds to two modern hours. The cycle begins with Mao Shi (representing 5:00 AM to 6:59 AM), followed by Chen Shi, Si Shi, Wu Shi, Wei Shi, Shen Shi, You Shi, Xu Shi, Hai Shi, Zi Shi, Chou Shi, and Yin Shi, completing a full 24-hour day. The Celestial Stems and Terrestrial Branches were not only tools for the ancient Chinese to conduct astrological predictions but also served as a calendrical system for timekeeping. Their influence extends beyond astrology and time measurement, deeply permeating Chinese history, culture, and daily life.

Cultural Significance

Bazi not only helps individuals understand their basic personality traits and life trajectory but also provides guidance for personal development and problem-solving. For instance, by analyzing the Five Elements in one’s birth chart, one can determine their dominant elemental attributes and understand how these relate to their personality, fortune, and overall well-being. Similarly, examining the Yin and Yang aspects of the chart can offer insights into fluctuations in destiny, susceptibility to illnesses, and other life patterns. Furthermore, through the analysis of the Bazi combinations, predictions can be made about future developments in career, wealth, marriage, and children.

However, it is important to recognize that while Bazi possesses unique value and appeal, it is not a panacea. It serves as a source of inspiration rather than an absolute standard for life decisions. One should approach the results of Bazi analysis with rationality, taking into account practical circumstances and personal experiences. Only by doing so can we harness the insights of Bazi to enhance our lives without being constrained by its interpretations. This balanced approach allows us to make better use of Bazi astrology as a tool for personal growth and self-understanding.

八字命理

介绍

八字命理，又称四柱预测，是中国传统命理学的重要分支。通过一个人的出生年、月、日、时（即四柱）推算出八个字，用以分析其命运。这一体系以中国古代哲学思想为基础，融合了阴阳五行、干支纪年和天人合一的观念，被广泛应用于人生规划、择吉避凶等方面。

起源与发展

命理学的起源可以追溯到中国古代的阴阳五行学说，它是中国古代哲学的重要组成部分。阴阳五行学说认为，宇宙万物都是由阴阳两种相互对立的力量和五行（金、木、水、火、土）五种物质组成的，它们之间相互作用、相互转化，构成了宇宙万物的变化和发展。命理学就是在阴阳五行学说的基础上发展起来的，它通过对人出生时的年、月、日、时四个要素的分析，来推测一个人的命运和运势。
命理学在中国历史上经历了漫长的发展过程，它在不同的历史时期都有不同的表现形式和发展方向。在唐代，命理学得到了进一步的发展和完善，出现了许多著名的命理学家和命理学著作。在宋代，命理学开始与道教、佛教等宗教相结合，形成了一些独特的命理学派别。在明清时期，命理学得到了广泛的传播和应用，成为了社会上一种重要的文化现象。

阴阳

阴阳学说来自《易经》，正所谓“太极生两仪，两仪生四象，四象生八卦”。这种学说将世界的变化归集于阴、阳，这是矛盾对立统一的变化。阴阳不是固定的，它们会随外部条件的变化而互相转化。阴中包涵着阳的成份，条件成熟可转化为阳。阳中带有阴，一定条件下又可化成阴。固此阴阳又可分为阳中之阳、阴中之阴、阴中之阳、阳中之阴等四种，由此不断分化并转变而生成世界万物。

五行

五行说是将世界万物都看作是由金、木、水、火、土构成，五行不断的运动变化才创造出这丰富多彩的物质世界，因此世界万物都带有这五种原素的内在气质。而五行之间以相生相克关系又影响着由它们构成的事物的总的气质。五行的相生相克是指五行的一种对另一种是促进的就是相生，是约束的就是相克。相生关系为：木生火、火生土、土生金、金生水、水生木。这是因为木材可以点火，火可使万物燃烧成炭，而灰土之中可炼出金属，金属遇冷可凝结水汽成水，水又使树木成长。相克关系为木克土、土克水、水克火、火克金、金克木。这是因为木能破土而出，土能阻挡水的泛滥，水能使火熄灭，火能使金属融化，金属结成刀斧又能杀死树木。

天干地支

古人以天为干以地为支。天干为十个，计有：甲、乙、丙、丁、戊、己、庚、辛、壬、癸。地支为十二个，计有：子、丑、寅、卯、辰、巳、午、未、申、酉、戌、亥。天干地支用以记日，十天干和十二地支依次组合成六十个单位，以天干的单数配地支的单数，天干的双数配地支的双数，从甲子开始到癸亥终止共计六十，称为六十甲子。古代中国人民用这一方法记载年、月、日，因而复始循环不断。古人正把一昼夜的时间分成十二个时辰，一个时辰相当于现代的两小时，从卯时开始代表现代的早晨5点及6点，以此类推经辰时，巳时、午时、未时、申时、酉时、戌时、亥时、子时、丑时、寅时为一整昼夜。天干地支不但是古人进行星命测算的工具还是计时算刻的历法，并在中国从历史、文化到日常生活都有关联。

文化价值

八字命理学不仅可以帮助人们了解自己的基本性格和命运走势，还能为自身的发展和问题解决提供帮助。例如，通过分析生辰八字的五行属性，可以知道自己所处的五行属性是什么，从而了解其与性格、运势等的关系。同时，通过分析八字的阴阳属性，可以了解命运的起伏、疾病易感程度等信息。此外，还可以通过分析八字的组合，预测自己未来的事业、财运、婚姻、子女等方面的发展。
然而，我们也应该认识到，八字命理学虽然有其独特的价值和魅力，但并不是万能的。它只是一种启示，不能简单地以它为标准来判断人生。我们应该在结合实际情况和经验积累的基础上，对八字命理学的结果进行理性分析和判断。只有这样，我们才能更好地利用八字命理学为我们的生活服务，同时也不被其束缚。

The origins of Chinese metaphysics can be traced back to the ancient Yin-Yang and Five Elements theories, which are integral components of traditional Chinese philosophy.

八字命理

介绍
八字命理，又称四柱预测，是中国传统命理学的重要分支。通过一个人的出生年、月、日、时（即四柱）推算出八个字，用以分析其命运。这一体系以中国古代哲学思想为基础，融合了阴阳五行、干支纪年和天人合一的观念，被广泛应用于人生规划、择吉避凶等方面。

起源与发展
命理学的起源可以追溯到中国古代的阴阳五行学说，它是中国古代哲学的重要组成部分。阴阳五行学说认为，宇宙万物都是由阴阳两种相互对立的力量和五行（金、木、水、火、土）五种物质组成的，它们之间相互作用、相互转化，构成了宇宙万物的变化和发展。命理学就是在阴阳五行学说的基础上发展起来的，它通过对人出生时的年、月、日、时四个要素的分析，来推测一个人的命运和运势。
命理学在中国历史上经历了漫长的发展过程，它在不同的历史时期都有不同的表现形式和发展方向。在唐代，命理学得到了进一步的发展和完善，出现了许多著名的命理学家和命理学著作。在宋代，命理学开始与道教、佛教等宗教相结合，形成了一些独特的命理学派别。在明清时期，命理学得到了广泛的传播和应用，成为了社会上一种重要的文化现象。

阴阳
阴阳学说来自《易经》，正所谓“太极生两仪，两仪生四象，四象生八卦”。这种学说将世界的变化归集于阴、阳，这是矛盾对立统一的变化。阴阳不是固定的，它们会随外部条件的变化而互相转化。阴中包涵着阳的成份，条件成熟可转化为阳。阳中带有阴，一定条件下又可化成阴。固此阴阳又可分为阳中之阳、阴中之阴、阴中之阳、阳中之阴等四种，由此不断分化并转变而生成世界万物。

五行
五行说是将世界万物都看作是由金、木、水、火、土构成，五行不断的运动变化才创造出这丰富多彩的物质世界，因此世界万物都带有这五种原素的内在气质。而五行之间以相生相克关系又影响着由它们构成的事物的总的气质。五行的相生相克是指五行的一种对另一种是促进的就是相生，是约束的就是相克。相生关系为：木生火、火生土、土生金、金生水、水生木。这是因为木材可以点火，火可使万物燃烧成炭，而灰土之中可炼出金属，金属遇冷可凝结水汽成水，水又使树木成长。相克关系为木克土、土克水、水克火、火克金、金克木。这是因为木能破土而出，土能阻挡水的泛滥，水能使火熄灭，火能使金属融化，金属结成刀斧又能杀死树木。

天干地支
古人以天为干以地为支。天干为十个，计有：甲、乙、丙、丁、戊、己、庚、辛、壬、癸。地支为十二个，计有：子、丑、寅、卯、辰、巳、午、未、申、酉、戌、亥。天干地支用以记日，十天干和十二地支依次组合成六十个单位，以天干的单数配地支的单数，天干的双数配地支的双数，从甲子开始到癸亥终止共计六十，称为六十甲子。古代中国人民用这一方法记载年、月、日，因而复始循环不断。古人正把一昼夜的时间分成十二个时辰，一个时辰相当于现代的两小时，从卯时开始代表现代的早晨5点及6点，以此类推经辰时，巳时、午时、未时、申时、酉时、戌时、亥时、子时、丑时、寅时为一整昼夜。天干地支不但是古人进行星命测算的工具还是计时算刻的历法，并在中国从历史、文化到日常生活都有关联。

文化价值
八字命理学不仅可以帮助人们了解自己的基本性格和命运走势，还能为自身的发展和问题解决提供帮助。例如，通过分析生辰八字的五行属性，可以知道自己所处的五行属性是什么，从而了解其与性格、运势等的关系。同时，通过分析八字的阴阳属性，可以了解命运的起伏、疾病易感程度等信息。此外，还可以通过分析八字的组合，预测自己未来的事业、财运、婚姻、子女等方面的发展。
然而，我们也应该认识到，八字命理学虽然有其独特的价值和魅力，但并不是万能的。它只是一种启示，不能简单地以它为标准来判断人生。我们应该在结合实际情况和经验积累的基础上，对八字命理学的结果进行理性分析和判断。只有这样，我们才能更好地利用八字命理学为我们的生活服务，同时也不被其束缚。

=Final Paper: The Four Pillars of Destiny=

The Four Pillars of Destiny

Introduction
Bazi, also known as the Four Pillars of Destiny, is a significant branch of traditional Chinese metaphysics. By analyzing an individual’s year, month, day, and hour of birth (the Four Pillars), eight Chinese characters are derived to interpret their destiny. Rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, Bazi incorporates concepts such as Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Celestial Stems, and the Terrestrial Branches. It has been widely used for life planning and auspicious date selection.

Origin and Development
The origins of Chinese metaphysics can be traced back to the ancient Yin-Yang and Five Elements theories, which are integral components of traditional Chinese philosophy. These theories propose that all things in the universe are composed of two opposing forces, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. These elements and forces interact and transform with each other, driving the changes and development of all things in the universe. Built upon the foundation of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, Chinese metaphysics, particularly in the form of destiny analysis, emerged as a system for predicting an individual’s fate and fortune by analyzing the four essential elements of their birth: year, month, day, and hour.
Chinese metaphysics has undergone a long and evolving process throughout China’s history, with various forms and directions of development in different historical periods. During the Tang Dynasty, this field saw significant advancement and refinement, with the emergence of many renowned practitioners and important works. In the Song Dynasty, Chinese metaphysics began to merge with religious practices, such as Taoism and Buddhism, giving rise to distinct schools of thought. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it had become widely disseminated and applied, evolving into an essential cultural phenomenon within Chinese society.

Yin and Yang
The theory of Yin and Yang originates from the Book of Changes, as encapsulated in the phrase: “The Taiji produces two forms; the two forms produce the Four Phenomena; the Four Phenomena produce the Eight Trigrams.” This theory attributes the changes in the world to the interplay of Yin and Yang, representing the unity of opposites in a dynamic process of transformation. Yin and Yang are not fixed; they transform into one another depending on external conditions. Within Yin, there is an element of Yang, which can transform into Yang when the conditions are right. Similarly, Yang contains an aspect of Yin, which can, under certain circumstances, turn into Yin. As such, Yin and Yang can further be divided into four categories: Yang within Yang, Yin within Yin, Yin within Yang, and Yang within Yin. These divisions continuously evolve and transform, giving rise to the myriad phenomena in the world.

The Five Elements
The Five Elements theory views all things in the world as composed of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The constant movement and transformation of these Five Elements create the diverse and vibrant material world. Thus, everything in existence carries the intrinsic qualities of these five fundamental elements. Moreover, the relationships of mutual generation (sheng) and mutual restriction (ke) among the Five Elements influence the overall characteristics of the entities they constitute. Mutual generation (sheng) refers to one element promoting or nurturing another, while mutual restriction (ke) refers to one element restraining or inhibiting another. The cycle of mutual generation is as follows: Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, and Water generates Wood. This is explained by natural phenomena: wood fuels fire; fire reduces substances to ash, enriching the soil; from soil, metal can be extracted; metal cools and condenses water vapor; and water nourishes the growth of trees and plants. The cycle of mutual restriction operates as follows: Wood restrains Earth, Earth restrains Water, Water restrains Fire, Fire restrains Metal, and Metal restrains Wood. This is because wood can penetrate and disrupt soil, soil can block and contain water, water extinguishes fire, fire can melt metal, and metal, shaped into tools, can cut down trees.

The Celestial Stems and Terrestrial Branches
The ancients referred to the heavens as Tian Gan (Celestial Stems) and the earth as Di Zhi (Terrestrial Branches). The Celestial Stems consist of ten characters: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. The Terrestrial Branches comprise twelve characters: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. These Stems and Branches were used to record time, with the ten Stems and twelve Branches combined sequentially to form sixty units. Odd-numbered Stems pair with odd-numbered Branches, and even-numbered Stems pair with even-numbered Branches. Starting from Jia Zi and ending at Gui Hai, this cycle is known as the “Sixty Jiazi.” This system was used by ancient Chinese people to record years, months, and days in a continuously repeating cycle. The ancients also divided a day and night into twelve periods, known as “Shichen” . Each Shichen corresponds to two modern hours. The cycle begins with Mao Shi (representing 5:00 AM to 6:59 AM), followed by Chen Shi, Si Shi, Wu Shi, Wei Shi, Shen Shi, You Shi, Xu Shi, Hai Shi, Zi Shi, Chou Shi, and Yin Shi, completing a full 24-hour day. The Celestial Stems and Terrestrial Branches were not only tools for the ancient Chinese to conduct astrological predictions but also served as a calendrical system for timekeeping. Their influence extends beyond astrology and time measurement, deeply permeating Chinese history, culture, and daily life.

Cultural Significance
Bazi not only helps individuals understand their basic personality traits and life trajectory but also provides guidance for personal development and problem-solving. For instance, by analyzing the Five Elements in one’s birth chart, one can determine their dominant elemental attributes and understand how these relate to their personality, fortune, and overall well-being. Similarly, examining the Yin and Yang aspects of the chart can offer insights into fluctuations in destiny, susceptibility to illnesses, and other life patterns. Furthermore, through the analysis of the Bazi combinations, predictions can be made about future developments in career, wealth, marriage, and children.

However, it is important to recognize that while Bazi possesses unique value and appeal, it is not a panacea. It serves as a source of inspiration rather than an absolute standard for life decisions. One should approach the results of Bazi analysis with rationality, taking into account practical circumstances and personal experiences. Only by doing so can we harness the insights of Bazi to enhance our lives without being constrained by its interpretations. This balanced approach allows us to make better use of Bazi astrology as a tool for personal growth and self-understanding.

=Grading Criteria for Powerpoint Presentations=
#Was the presentation based on scientific facts, did the presenter also conduct some research on the topic and did he/she also add her own experience or her own opinion/perspective and marking the two different perspectives as factual/subjective? Did the presentation avoid absolute judgments like "good" or "best", but did it instead use vocabulary like "fascinating", "surprising" etc. and also indicated to whom it is fascinating/surprising etc. and why?
#Was the presentation successful? Did it catch the attention of the audience over the whole time? Was the presenter persuading? Was the audience excited/fascinated? Did the audience learn something? (Or was the audience bored and talked the whole time without paying attention to the presenter?)
#Formal things: Was the speaker good to hear (loud/clear)? Did he make a self-confident impression and did he know his topic? Did the speaker speak freely and not read out? Where there meaningful pictures and graphs on the slides and only a few keywords, well sorted by numbers or bullet points (or was the powerpoint merely a text desert of small size script with the script being copied onto the slides)?
#Was the presentation appropriate to the topic?
#Was the activity part meaningful and appropriate to the topic? Did it speak to everyone in the audience individually?
#Was the presentation not too short and not too long in time, but as long as the other presentations, so that all presentations of the day could be presented?
#Did the presentation consider the same cultural phenomenon both in China and in other countries, at least as a comparison?
#Did the presentation avoid mistakes like reading out text in a boring way, pronounciation mistakes, typos in the English text?
#Did you indicate the sources you have used at least on the last page of your presentation in the form of a list?
#Did you upload your ppt file successfully (if not, did you contact the teaching assistant to upload)?
#Did you present your ppt file in the full screen mode?
#Did you arrive early in classroom to copy your file onto the desktop of the class computer and did you check it and also any embedded or accompanying video files etc. if everything works properly including sound?
#Did the presentation avoid deadly mistakes like plagiarism, using ai without indicating it (if you use ai to create the presentation, you need to indicate the platform and the full prompt you gave to ai and the main adjustments you did to the prompt), using ideology, patriotism, politics, religious beliefs, advertisement for products, ignorance (e.g. that a cultural phenomenon is wide spread in Asia and the origin is unclear, but claiming it was Chinese and originated in China), racism, prejudices, telling lies, spreading false rumors etc.?

=How to write your final exam paper?=
Just write it like the other chapters in the textbook on your personal wiki homepage beneath the learning progress diary until <span style="color:red">
'''December 31, 2024 (deadline)'''.

About 1000 words in English, followed by a Chinese translation (no machine translation). You can also write in Chinese and translate into English. Both texts need to be like the other papers in the textbook.

==Sections==
Title, student name, Abstract, Main part, illustrations, Terms and Expressions, Questions, Answers, References, and AI Statement.

The AI statement should look like this:

I hereby guarantee that I have not used the help of AI to write my final paper in this course.

or, if you actually use AI

<span style="color:red">'''How about letting AI write for me?'''

Your AI statement in the References section needs to look like this:

To help me to write my final paper, I have used the following AI chatbot: ... I have prompted the chatbot with the following prompt: "..." I found the following problems with the outcome: ... I have adjusted the output by the following measures (revising prompt as: "...." or manually correcting the following references: ... Written the following passage new: ...).

If you use AI, not your paper will be graded, but your prompt and adjustments

==References==
*Please add the sources in the form "(Wang 2020, 445)" behind each paragraph and with a long entry in the References section.
*In the References section, please add at least 1-2 Western sources. It is always good to relate the Chinese tradition to similar traditions in other countries.
*In the English version of your References, please add the Pinyin to the Chinese names and titles. Everything needs to be readable in English characters.

==Formatting==
*Please also add free lines at places where you want to have a line break, e.g. after a header.</span>

Some general information like study discipline, year and sex will also be used. The results are inteded to be published in scientific publications.

Task 1: Please decide whether you

- want to use

- or not want to use

an AI app with a daily dialogue of 7 phrases to improve your foreign (English, Korean, Japanese) language learning until end of the year.

The groups should almost be equally large.

The group that decides not to use an AI app to improve their language learning are not allowed to use any AI app to improve their language learning. It should not learn less, but try to learn more with humans and from books.

Li Dinghao: /* Here you can suggest your topic for your final exam paper */

Welcome to Chinese Language and Culture 2024

THU (19:00-19:45,19:55-20:40,20:50-21:35) 至善楼105 MA2 (23级笔译口译 Translation & Interpretation) 中国语言文化 Chinese Language and Culture 2024, Textbook: Woesler 2024, 1 5.9., 2 12.9., 3 19.9., 4 26.9., 5 10.10., 6 17.10., 7 24.10., 8 31.10., 9 7.11., 10 14.11., 11 21.11., 12 28.11., 13 5.12., 14 12.12., 15 19.12., 16 26.12.

=Grading Criteria for Powerpoint Presentations=
#Was the presentation based on scientific facts, did the presenter also conduct some research on the topic and did he/she also add her own experience or her own opinion/perspective and marking the two different perspectives as factual/subjective? Did the presentation avoid absolute judgments like "good" or "best", but did it instead use vocabulary like "fascinating", "surprising" etc. and also indicated to whom it is fascinating/surprising etc. and why?
#Was the presentation successful? Did it catch the attention of the audience over the whole time? Was the presenter persuading? Was the audience excited/fascinated? Did the audience learn something? (Or was the audience bored and talked the whole time without paying attention to the presenter?)
#Formal things: Was the speaker good to hear (loud/clear)? Did he make a self-confident impression and did he know his topic? Did the speaker speak freely and not read out? Where there meaningful pictures and graphs on the slides and only a few keywords, well sorted by numbers or bullet points (or was the powerpoint merely a text desert of small size script with the script being copied onto the slides)?
#Was the presentation appropriate to the topic?
#Was the activity part meaningful and appropriate to the topic? Did it speak to everyone in the audience individually?
#Was the presentation not too short and not too long in time, but as long as the other presentations, so that all presentations of the day could be presented?
#Did the presentation consider the same cultural phenomenon both in China and in other countries, at least as a comparison?
#Did the presentation avoid mistakes like reading out text in a boring way, pronounciation mistakes, typos in the English text?
#Did you indicate the sources you have used at least on the last page of your presentation in the form of a list?
#Did you upload your ppt file successfully (if not, did you contact the teaching assistant to upload)?
#Did you present your ppt file in the full screen mode?
#Did you arrive early in classroom to copy your file onto the desktop of the class computer and did you check it and also any embedded or accompanying video files etc. if everything works properly including sound?
#Did the presentation avoid deadly mistakes like plagiarism, using ai without indicating it (if you use ai to create the presentation, you need to indicate the platform and the full prompt you gave to ai and the main adjustments you did to the prompt), using ideology, patriotism, politics, religious beliefs, advertisement for products, ignorance (e.g. that a cultural phenomenon is wide spread in Asia and the origin is unclear, but claiming it was Chinese and originated in China), racism, prejudices, telling lies, spreading false rumors etc.?

=Session 8 Thursday Oct 31, 2024 19:00-21:35=

Today, we start a field research study under the HUNNU JM Research Centre of Excellence (EU grant).

The study is intended to compare learning a foreign language with AI and without AI.

By participating in the study, you agree that your data will be collected. However, the data will first be anonymized and only as anonymized data analyzed and compared with other sets of data. Some general information like study discipline, year and sex will also be used. The results are inteded to be published in scientific publications.

Task 1: Please decide whether you

- want to use

- or not want to use

an AI app with a daily dialogue of 7 phrases to improve your foreign (English, Korean, Japanese) language learning until end of the year.

The groups should almost be equally large.

The group that decides not to use an AI app to improve their language learning are not allowed to use any AI app to improve their language learning. It should not learn less, but try to learn more with humans and from books.
