Please note that even though the deadline is on March 23rd, students are encouraged to turn in their applications as early as possible. We are going to accept students on a first come first serve basis so that the selected students can find cheaper airfare individually and to be guaranteed a spot on the scholarship list.
Along with the application, each student needs to turn in a recommendation letter, a photo copy of the first page of their passport, a copy of their official transcript and a W-9 form.
Measure words can be troublesome, so I made a little activity called Measure Word Challenge to help you practice. This page selects ten objects at random from a list of things we have learned so far. You choose the correct measure word for each.
Let me know if you think this type of activity is useful.
大家好 (dà jiā hăo) and welcome to Chinese 102! It is great that you can continue your study of Chinese. I hope that this semester will be an interesting and rewarding experience.
Sorry about the scheduling issues this semester. Hopefully things are all worked out on that end and we can continue learning Chinese.
My name is Jeff Winters. I will be the instructor for this course. I'm the Language Lab Director at CSULB. I also have the great opportunity to teach Chinese 102 this semester. I have been studying Chinese for 30 years now, and teaching Mandarin for over ten. I hope that you will find the Chinese language and culture as interesting as I have.
Use the menu at the top of the page to access information related to the course. In the Faculty area, you'll find faculty office hours for the semester, and additional contact information.
In the Syllabus area, you will find details about the course, my expectations, an overview of all assignments, and information about grading and assessment. This is the first information you should read.
The Schedule area lists the topics discussed and the homework assignments due each class meeting.
The Study Guides area contains detailed information about each lesson including interesting links to Chinese language and cultural sites. The Assignments area is where you'll find information about each assignment. These are the two areas you will probably use most during the semester.
In the Gradebook area you will be able to access up-to-date grade information for each assignment, quizzes, and other graded activities.
There is much information available on this site and on the Internet which can enhance your Chinese learning experience. I encourage you to take advantage of this resource.
