Group Assignments (30%)

Students will work in groups to complete four assignments (作业) during

the course. All the assignments will be submitted by the assigned date

through Blackboard, our online learning and course management system.

Daily Work/In-Class Writings and Tests/Group Work/Homework (10%)

Class activities will vary from day to day, but students must be readyto

complete short in-class writings or tests drawn directly from assigned

readings or notes from the previous class’ lecture/discussion, so it is

important to take careful notes during class. Additionally, from time totime

I will assign group work to be completed in class or short assignments tobe

completed at home, both of which will be graded.

arugula (芝麻菜 ) was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast

chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a

arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way too much; I

could have made six salads with what I threw out.
