First Session Mon 21, 2022 14:30-16:40 - Organizational Things
Duties in Class
1. Please come to class prepared. This means please read the book chapter, search for more information about the topic online and learn the vocabulary related to the topic 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. You have received the textbook pdf via the WeChat group: Woesler, Martin. (2022). Chinese Culture, Bochum: European University Press, 1000 pages.
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. CULTURE2022 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: CULTURE2022 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: CULTURE2022 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 may 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.
Homework of Session 1 for Session 2
1. Please select a topic you want to give a 5-minute ppt presentation on. You can reserve your topic by writing your name behind the topic in the respective section of the Sessions beneath (not above). Please note: If there is no textbook text for the topic, we need 2 more students for this topic, 1 to prepare a textbook text and the 2nd student to write the "terms", "references", "questions" and (please submit to teacher and student assistant): "answers". Please make sure to post the text and appendix at least 1 week ahead of time under the session beneath. Please make sure to send the quiz questions at least 1 week ahead of time to the survey students that they can make a quiz and send the quiz answers at least 1 week ahead of time to the teaching assistant, so that she can grade the quizzes.
2. Please translate a short passage from Hongloumeng from Chinese to English. Please make sure to translate the names by meaning, never with Pinyin.
3. Please correct the translation of your fellow student above you in the list.
4. Please prepare all texts for the next session and take the quiz on these texts before the next session starts.
5. If you have not yet done so, please add the biographical info on yourself on your wiki homepage. You can find your wiki homepage by typing directly into you browser: https://bou.de/u/wiki/User:He_Minghui - of course Wang Jianguo is just a sample name, you would have to replace it with your own username and exchange the space by an understroke.
Special homework for Wiki admin: Please set up all homework texts (I have copied chapter 24 to our homework page and you need to split about 3 lines text in average to each student) on new webpages and link them in all sessions beneath. Please also set up dummy links for ppt upload.
Special homework for Survey assistant Students: Please set up quizzes for all topics on wjx.org, students need to indicate their name and student id. Please paste the link to the quiz here under the respective session and topic beneath. Please tell the teaching assistant the correct answers to the quizzes, so that the teaching assistant can transfer the grades from the quizzes into the student role grade table. Please use
Special homework for Teaching assistant: Please write a grade for each student into the student roll grade list. A student who has done the homework (without Pinyin) gets 100 percent for this, a student who has done the correction of a homework of his fellow student gets another 100 percent. A student who has presented a ppt, written a textbook text or a textbook text appendix gets another 100 percent.
General remarks: I have now created a ranking list of the topics the students selected and published on our course website. Everybody should perform the homework now. This includes special work for the teaching assistant, the wiki admin and the survey students.
Escpecially the Wiki admin needs to split the text which needs to be translated into small parts for each student and indicate the students' names so that they can find it easier. Every student can already pick a topic to do a presentation on and write the name behind the topic.
Also, every student needs to read the textbook texts for coming Monday to be prepared, the survey students need to set up quizzes for the textbook texts and the students need to take the quizzes before class starts on Monday. It is a lot of work, but it will get better, when all of you get used to it. Also, much of the homework, especially setting up webpages for homework etc., including the presentations, creating missing texts in the textbook etc. can be started already now, so that one can do most of the homework for the whole semester already now.
If people want to start writing their final exam papers, they can also start maybe in March, if they like. The earlier things are done the better and the more chances there are to still improve things during the semester. Here is the link to the homeworks listed for all students and the students with special tasks: Foundations_of_Chinese_Cultures_2022#Homework_of_Session_1_for_Session_2
