=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.

科技：弹幕文化
姓名：张帅
1.概览
弹幕（日文写作だんまく）是由线上视频平台的用户所发送出的一种评论。近年来，弹幕在中国颇受欢迎。（He, M., Ge, Y., Chen, E., Liu, Q. and Wang, X., 2017.）弹幕起源于日本线上视频网站Niconico，该网站在2021年是日本国内浏览量排行第34名的网站。

弹幕不同于传统的在线评论。后者通常展现在视频的下方同时是在用户看完视频之后发表的。但是弹幕则是展现在视频之上的一连串滚动的文字评论，同时与用户在发送弹幕时的视频时间线是同步的，通常弹幕从视频右方滚动向视频左方。 (Wang, R., 2022.)

在众多拥有弹幕评论功能的视频平台之中，哔哩哔哩规模最大。在约2008年至2009年期间，中国的ACG网站AcFun和哔哩哔哩在自己的视频服务中推出了弹幕系统。至此弹幕在中国的ACG观众群体中大受欢迎。不久后，中国其他的视频平台，比如爱奇艺，优酷以及腾讯视频都推出了弹幕功能自2017年年底，哔哩哔哩与中国社会科学院官方机构合作，每年会发布《年度弹幕报告》。如今是发布报告的第七年，在报告中能够清晰看到在哔哩哔哩中所流行的文化现象，也让我们更好地理解Z世代在过去的一年中的社会情绪和情感表达。

数据显示，在2017和2018年哔哩哔哩用户发送了超过1,000,000,000条弹幕，在2019和2020年分别发送了超过1,400,000,000条以及2,200,000,000条弹幕。2021年，弹幕总量超过100亿条，几乎是过去四年总和的两倍。
2.特征
界面
观众发送的弹幕通常覆盖在视频之上，同时在屏幕上滚动播放。弹幕与用户在发送时的对应视频时间线同步展示。在视频之中，弹幕只会覆盖屏幕的大部分面积，形成像子弹雨一样的画面。弹幕的移动性以及时间同步性，创造了一种众多观众在一起观看视频的体验，而发送弹幕的观众并不是同时同地一起观看的。弹幕的独特形式，也让其区别与传统的视频评论体制，让更多多模态文本在视频页面中展示，比如弹幕可以拥有不同的字体、颜色以及出现不同的位置。

弹幕内容
弹幕内容不仅有观众对于视频内容的评价，并且还有与实时视频内容同步的背景知识拓展，甚至还有弹幕内容之间的互动。同时，弹幕的多模态性也让其有了更多和视频内容互动的可能。弹幕发布者可以利用特殊符号，不同字体颜色等等来创造出类似于图形的内容，来更加生动地表达自己的想法。

因为弹幕与视频同步，这也让观看用户能够为与视频添加翻译过后的字幕。形成了一种独特的“草根文化”，自发翻译字幕的用户也被其他的用户亲切地称为字幕君。

影响
弹幕文化创造了一种独特的虚拟网络社区
Lee et al. (2003) 对于虚拟社区给出了可行的定义，即：虚拟社区是一种网络空间，受到计算机信息技术的支持，同时以参与者之间的沟通以及融合为中心，其目的是创造以社区成员为核心的内容，同时缔造独特的人际关系，通过发送弹幕，哔哩哔哩的用户集聚在一起，生出了社会纽带，同时也缔造了一种归属感，从而创造了一种虚拟社区。

B 站作为“Z 世代”群体集合的网络场所，弹幕集中反映了当下青年们关注的社会议题以及流行文化的发展趋势。在中国网络环境之中，有许多的流行词都来源于弹幕：例如数字“23333”代表用户觉得内容有趣发出笑声；数字“666”则代表用户对于视频内容的赞赏，在某些情境之下，也代表着用户对于视频内容的调侃。

在该虚拟社区中，用户们通过发送弹幕，会营造出一种众人一起观看的感觉，这也让观看线上视频，这一活动变得更像一种集体社会活动。而在这样的虚拟社区中能够提高用户之间的交流频率，也能够让视频创作者更快的收到观众的反馈。同时在这一集体社会活动中，拥有不同文化背景的用户，会从各自不同的角度来对视频内容进行解读以及再创造，这也再度鼓励了网络社区中看待事物角度的多样化趋势。同时在虚拟社区中，对于视频作品进行的弹幕讨论，也会进一步提高作品的热度，对于视频内容的宣传有一定的帮助作用。

同时，一个虚拟社区对于社区内个体以及整个社会有好处，也必然有不利之处。比如因为用户可以在各个平台，比如PC、平板电脑，手机等等设备上随时随地发送弹幕，这也让弹幕评论里信息良莠甄别更加困难。并且，在该网络社区之中，可能会包含低俗以及攻击性的内容。而弹幕社区中的审核制度也存在一定的不即时性，在不良弹幕内容接受到审查而筛选出去之前，它们很有可能已经对于社群用户带来了不同程度的心理伤害。

弹幕也会对于观看用户带来视觉干扰。例如过多过密的弹幕，以及不同颜色不同字体的弹幕会遮挡住不同比例的画面，从而影响观影过程。而用户也需要在短时间内既要观看视频内容又要兼顾过多的弹幕内容，这也会导致信息过载，增加用户观影时的理解负担。

弹幕作为一种形式独特的在线视频评论，在中国网络文化中发挥着越来越重要的作用，弹幕具有独特的创新性以及同时性，塑造了中国独有的虚拟社区，一方面加强了用户之间的沟通，也塑造了用户之间的归属感与连接，另一方面也带来了诸多的问题，比如不实信息，不友善内容以及用户观影期间受到干扰等等。弹幕系统出现在越来越多的视频平台，也会随着社会的演变而不断更新，弹幕不仅可以让我们从中了解到自己的网络文化，也能够为我们的文化生活服务。

1.Introduction
Danmu, or Danmaku(だんまく) a type of comment generated by users on online video platforms, has gained wide popularities in China in recent years.(He, M., Ge, Y., Chen, E., Liu, Q. and Wang, X., 2017.) Danmu originated from the Japanese online video platform Niconico, which is the 34th most-visited website in Japan as of 2021.

Unlike traditional online comments placed below the video frame and typically posted by viewers after watching the video, danmu comments are displayed as streams of scrolling comments overlaid on the screen and synchronized to the specific playback time at which the users sent the comments, moving horizontally from right to left. (Wang, R., 2022.)

Among all the video platforms which adopted danmu comments, Bilibili is the biggest in terms of scale. Around 2008–2009, Chinese ACG websites AcFun and Bilibili introduced the danmu system to their video streaming services. Danmu rapidly gained popularity among ACG users in China. Soon, other major Chinese platforms, such as iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, followed suit to deploy danmu.Since late 2017, Bilibili has partnered with official institutions like the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to release annual danmu reports. Now in its seventh year. It reveals the prevailing pop culture trends on Bilibili over the past year, offering insights into the social sentiments and emotional expressions of Gen Z during that period.(杨晓玉, 2024)

Data showed that Bilibili users sent over 1 billion danmus in both 2017 and 2018, more than 1.4 billion in 2019 and reaching 2.2 billion in 2020. In 2021, the total number of danmus reached over 10 billion, nearly double the combined total of the previous four years.
2.Characteristics
Interface
Danmus left by viewers are overlaid directly on the videos and are scrolled across the screen, synchronized specifically to the playback time point where the users input the comments. At certain moments of the videos, user comments fill up the screen giving the appearance of a bullet curtain, or danmaku in Japanese and danmu in Chinese. This movement and synchronization of text creates a co-viewing experience for users who watch the same videos, but at different locations and times. The format also allows more "multi-modal" text than traditional video comment systems - e.g. different font color or screen position. (Wang, R., 2022.)

Content
Danmus serve as more than just viewer feedback on video content; they also provide real-time background knowledge extensions that sync with the video, and even some Danmus interact among themselves. Moreover, the multimodal nature of Danmus enables a wider range of interactions with the video content. Users can type in special symbols with different font colors, and other elements to create graphic-like content, thereby expressing their thoughts more vividly.

As danmus are automatically synced to video, the technology provides opportunity for users to spontaneously create translation subtitles for foreign language videos, leading to a sort of "grassroot practice" in which amateur subtitlers are respectfully regarded by others as "caption-kun" (字幕君).

Effects
Creating a virtual online community
Lee et al. (2003) gave a working definition for virtual community: a cyberspace supported by computer‐based information technology, centred upon the communication and integration of participants to generate member‐driven contents, resulting in the building of relationships. Through the danmu interface, Bilibili users “gather together,” generate social ties,and cultivate a sense of belonging, thereby constituting a virtual community.Bilibili, as an online platform gathering members of Generation Z, showcases danmus that reflect the social issues and cultural trends young people are concerned about. In China’s online culture, many popular expressions originate from danmu. For example, the number “23333” represents laughter at humorous content, while “666” shows appreciation for a video, or in some cases, playful teasing.

In this virtual community, users create a sense of collective viewing by sending danmu, transforming watching videos online into a social group experience. This enhances interaction among users and enables video creators to receive feedback more quickly. Moreover, users from diverse cultural backgrounds interpret and recreate video content from their unique perspectives, fostering diversity in viewpoints within the community. Discussions through danmu can also increase the popularity of video content, serving as a promotional tool.

However, virtual communities bring both benefits and challenges to individuals and society. Since users can send danmu at any time from various devices such as PCs, tablets, and smartphones, distinguishing between reliable and unreliable information becomes more difficult. Additionally, danmu may include offensive content, and the review mechanisms in such communities often require some time. Harmful danmu might already cause psychological harm to users before being screened and removed.

The format of danmu, which scrolls over the video content, can also cause visual interference. For instance, excessively dense danmu or those with varying colors and fonts can block parts of the video, disrupting the viewing experience. Users need to focus on both the video and the danmu simultaneously, which may lead to information overload and increase the cognitive burden during viewing.
Conclusion
Danmu, as a unique type of online comment created by users and platforms, is playing an increasing important role in Chinese online culture. With its creativity and synchronicity, it shaped a virtual community which, on the one hand, strengthened users’ interactions, and built a sense of belonging and ties between users. On the other hand, it brought challenges such as misinformation, unfriendly content and interruption during users’ watching experience. With its deep adoption by most major online video platforms in China, it will adapt itself as the ever evolving society. It can be utilized as an effective indicator of our online culture, and to serve us in our culture lives.
