This course is designed to provide an opportunity for PhD students, as well as Masters or senior undergraduate students with specific academic projects to practice, improve, and refine their Chinese skills. Students will share with the class reading materials related to their academic research projects, and take the leading role in related class discussion. They will additionally write about their research topics and present their research ideas and discoveries to the class. We hope these practices can help students communicate more effectively in a Chinese academic environment, and allow them to improve the presentation skills they will use at Chinese-speaking academic conferences. This course is repeatable. Prerequisite: 213/213B or equivalent and approval of instructor (Email instructor for permission).
