Class 2-19-09

Yesterday's class went well for me yesterday. We started out in small groups analyzing the lexical parts of speech of a sentence that Dr. Smidt provided. I thought it was a great activity because i understood it rather well. The problem area I see with this class is the technichal difficulties associated with it. It is extremely frustrating for me to sit there and listen to the class because I get bored very easily because I am a kinisthetic learner. However, one plus was using the whiteboard to draw the chinese characters. These broke up some of the monotony of the class for me. It was great to see and hear how a logographic writing system has developed of thousands of years.
