Homework

Regular students

要网上找随便的中文句子,翻译成英文。每一次上课有一个Unit。Unit里面一般有3到5个题目(A、B、C……)。每一种题目要读文章、回答问题、然后在网上找跟这个题目有关的一个中文句子,考培到wiki上,并写上去翻译和签字。然后还要修改同学的翻译,也要签字。

Website Admin student

Thank you for helping to watch the Wiki website! Please make sure that it looks nice (formatting, especially if a fellow students makes a mess by putting the wrong format etc., should not look to crowded, so make sub-websites for homework etc.).

Online Survey students

There will be several online surveys conducted throughout the semester. Please watch your WeChat Subgroup for the first tasks.

Edits

Every student is required to edit something every week. This can be:

  • Translate a pragraph from English to Chinese.
