JAPANESE 32 Third Year Japanese Japanese 32 Course Syllabus Instructors and office hours Japanese 32 Course Description Prerequisite Requirements Grades Texts Japanese 32 Course Schedule   Japanese 32 Course Syllabus, Winter 2000 Instructors and office hours Ikuko Watanabe 306 Bartlett Hall (Tel: 646-2591) Office Hours: Monday & Wednesday,11:00~12:00 and by appointment Description Japanese 32 is designed to provide practice in all four language skills at an advanced level. Classes will be devoted primarily to close reading of selected articles, essays and short stories and to discussions based on videotaped materials. Note: although the materials used in this course differ from the materials used in Japanese 31, the general level of proficiency required to enroll in either Japanese 31 or 32 is roughly equivalent. Students may take Japanese 32 even if they have been unable to enroll in Japanese 31. Prerequisite Japanese 31 or permission of instructor Requirements Attendance and preparation are the most important requirements for this course. Language acquisition is a matter of practicing skills on a daily basis. This is not a "content" course, so you cannot cram for it. You must be willing to work together both inside and outside of class. It is better to prepare and make mistakes than not prepare and be unable to participate. Four unexcused absences will result in the loss of a full letter grade. If you miss class more than four times your grade is at the mercy of the instructor. Grades Grades will be determined according to the following criteria: Tests -- 60% Quizzes -- 10% Class performance (including homework and attendance) -- 30%       homework 15%       performance 10%       attendance 10% These are rough percentages, and I will be flexible in assessing final marks. Texts Photocopied materials will be made available.   | HOME | COURSES | CONTENTS |    Last Modified April 22, 2000, by Yukari.
