Chinese Language And Literature Degree

I wonder whether those students that do not attend class found the level too low? Maybe they'll start attending now?

Thanks for the update, and good luck with the upcoming exams! keep us posted about your results

How is the weather now in Harbin?

Dear JS,

Keep the post coming.  For persons like myself who may never go to China or Taiwan to study at that level it is good to know what methodology they are using so we could find someway to learn from your study.

Yeah Edelweis I think that's the reason, but if that's the case then their level should certainly be high enough to have understood when all our teachers said that if they miss a third of classes they won't be allowed to take their finals!  For classes we have 4 times a week it's not too much of a worry, but we only have our reading class once a week, and some of the students have only been once or twice, so they are really pushing it, if they haven't already missed too many!  Anyway, it's their call.  I will let you know what happens regarding those guys!  Thank you for the good luck, I will let you know how I get on (as long as it's not so low as to be embarrassing hah)!  The weather isn't too bad temperature wise, but starting to get colder.  Today it's -4C at the moment.  The last week has been really bad smog-wise though, as they have just turned the heating on, and so all the dust etc. that has been lying in the pipes comes out and leaves a thick smog everywhere. 

Sure thing gwr71!  Let me know if you have any more specific questions about the methods they use.  As I think I said somewhere, I find their methods to be fantastic, and so much more than just the 'rote memorization' I always hear about.
