History-106 classes prepare for presentations

LxC in Dr. John Chaffee's classes have a unique twist. Each semester Professor Chaffee (History / Asian and Asian-American Studies) himself takes part in the final class by listening to, grading, and asking questions on individual presentations given by each student.

This semester LxC is supporting his HIST-106 class, East Asian Civilizations. Each student in each LxC section is asked to give a presentation (in their LxC language) on a topic discussed during the ten weeks of LxC. Given the professor's impressive listening comprehension of East Asian languages, he is able to learn about what the LxC class has done, not in English, but the assigned language of the section (Mandarin, for example). LRSs Candy Tan, Seokyung Han, and Yu-Ling Huang have all been diligently working to prepare their students for this culminating event.... Best of luck!
