Japanese 360 -- Kanji

This three-credit course aims at learning Kanji to improve reading and writing skills in Japanese. Learning Kanji is one of the most challenging parts in learning Japanese due to its ideographical nature. In reality, however, mastering Kanji greatly helps learners improve reading skills and accelerates learning. In this course, students focus on mastering basic Kanji selected by the instructor.

The class will be offered in a hybrid format during Summer Session I (June 14 to July 9, 2010). The class will meet twice per week, 2.5 hours a day on campus (Monday and Thursday from 9:00-11:50). Each week, students are expected to work for 2 hours for three days at home.

Prerequisite: Japanese 111, or instructor’s approval
