Powerpoint with an introduction to the Course by Martin Woesler

Duties in Class

1. Please come to class prepared. This means please read the primary and secondary literature for each session in advance. It is much more benefetial for yourself and for the others. Also the discussions in class then can be conducted on a much more sophisticated level. Please reserve at least two hours of preparation for each session. Chinese Classics Translation 2022 LIST OF LITERATURE

2. Please do your homework seriously every week and submit it in wiki 3 days before the class starts and the corrections of your fellow student's homework 1 day before the class starts. Chinese Classics Translation 2022 LIST OF HOMEWORKS

3. Please participate actively in class. This means for each session: Please ask at least one question or participate with at least one contribution in the discussion.

4. Please select the topic for the presentation you will do in class already until session 2 (if we have more students than sessions, then build groups of two - one doing presentation, one a written handout on the same topic). Please remember to upload and link your presentation and your handout here on this website a week ahead to enable your fellow students to prepare it. Please pick from the following list by adding your name behind any of the topics: Chinese Classics Translation 2022 LIST OF TOPICS - This is the same list as the LIST OF PRESENTATIONS and the LIST OF SESSION TOPICS.

5. Please select a topic of your final exam paper (5,000 English words) until session 2. Please pick from the following list by adding your name behind any of the topics: Chinese Classics Translation 2022 LIST OF FINAL EXAM PAPERS

Joint agreement on use of time inside and outside the classroom

Since it does not make sense to come together in the classroom and then jointly start reading the primary or secondary literature, please read the texts before class so that we can save the precious classroom time for a well informed discussion about the texts.

Joint agreement on weight of grades

  • Final Exam paper: 70 percent
  • Performance in class: 30 percent (consisting out of oral contributions/participation, 1 presentation or handout per term, participation in surveys and quizzes, homework) - this grade gets extra points if you take over additional duties like survey assistants.

Note: Grades make take months to be entered into the grade system, since sometimes there are more than 100 students and the teachers want to pay respect to each student and read their final exam paper carefully.
