I just got out of my first class here at Peking University. I must be an excellent guesser, because I may have guessed my way into a class that is well beyond my ability. It may be because it has been so long since I have studied Chinese in an academic environment, but that class was definitely a little difficult for me. Now the question is if it is worth it for me to stay in the class and struggle to get a most likely mediocre grade, or switch to a class that is slightly easier in which I can excel. I already have quite a bit of homework to do, and this is only one class!
This is going to be quite a semester.
[Sorry, I don't have pictures this time :-(]
Side Note: I went to my Bally's for the first time today, and oh boy was the locker room a treat. The last thing I expected was for Chinese women to be more open than Western women in the locker room, but my oh my was I wrong. I walked in and there were just naked women, young and old, just chilling out in the locker room. It was quite an experience. Next time I'll at least have time to brace myself before being bombarded by mass nudity.

What do the classrooms look like? Do they use technology? How big is Peking University?
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the building. The class in which I have my Reading Chinese class has plenty of computer access. We were taught using Powerpoint. My classroom for my other class had an old TV, and that is about it. So I think it depends on the age of the building/the purpose of the class.
