Zhong Shi

I learned more in this class than in any other this semester. The textbook is very well done; the vocabulary is topical and the cultural/historical lessons are extremely useful.

I learned so much, not just conversationally but also presenting. I also learned a lot of business related words that would be useful to my future endeavors.

This course is called "Business Chinese," but I think the curriculum in reality has a much larger scope and I found it to be very practical. I think that other previous courses had much more of a written chinese emphasis, but Business Chinese is more about speaking, and appropriate conventions of speech in a variety of business and social contexts.

Localization, Business strategies, Business terminologies

I learned about the context of business in China - how it is conducted, the history and economics behind recent trends, and how to apply these skills in different contexts.

Presentation skills, case assessment, and business vocabulary for Business Chinese.

I think this class is a great Chinese elective because it gives a different teaching approach from Chinese 1-3, with much more speaking emphasis. This is more practical for most students' needs anyways, and it is a good variety from other chinese courses that will push a student much more in the speaking proficiency aspects of their education.

Vocabulary, grammar, and cultural approaches to business problems in China.

I have learned how to do presentation in Chinese. Particularly, the professor focus on Chinese manner while doing presentation. It was helpful.

This course is very useful for anyone who is slightly fluent in Chinese but would like to learn more about modern lingo and phrases.
