Details about this class

Welcome to JPN 103 at PCC!

You will continue learning the four basic language skills, listening, speaking, reading, and writing to cultivate communicative competence in Japanese. In this 5-credit course, you will attend class twice weekly (M & W, 2:00-4:20 PM). Research suggests that students should spend approximately 2 hours outside of class for every credit hour to be successful, so you will be expected to study and complete activities and assignments outside of class accordingly.

Attendance and active participation are required for this course. Students will interact with each other and participate in learning activities both inside and outside of class to build a supportive learning community. In addition, I will offer you one-on-one/group study sessions throughout the term. If you have any inquiries, please contact me at yumiko.omata@pcc.edu.

Technology

This is an in-person class and we will meet on Monday & Wednesday on the Cascade campus. You will need to submit all of your homework electronically, so it will be important for you to have access to the internet and a computer or tablet. 

No show policy

Your instructor can mark you as a "no show" if you do not participate in your class during the first week. This will remove you from the class.

Students with disabilities

Students with disabilities should notify their instructor if accommodations are needed to take this class. For information about technologies that help people with disabilities taking Online based classes please visit the Disability Services website.
