Details of Assessments
Below is an overview of each assignment. Detailed instructions, rubrics, and submission guidelines
can be found at the Assignments section on the Canvas course site. Please note that some
CHIN 481 002 2022W1 Syllabus- 6
assignments have multiple submissions and be sure to check the submission schedule for each
component of those assignments.
1. Attendance and Participation 10%, all term
Participation in class is mandatory. Students will need to come to class having read the assigned
readings before the meeting session. Before coming to class, students will need to finish the
assigned readings. There is a pop quiz and/or discussion thread in each meeting session from week
3, and the preliminary participation grade is given based on your quiz/discussion performance. Your
actual in-person attendance record will also be consulted in finalizing your attendance grades.
If a student could not attend the class due to some understandable reasons, s/he must take the
initiative and communicate with the instructor as early as possible. It is the student’s responsibility
to provide the instructor with relevant documents or other evidence to be excused from the class,
and it is up to the instructor to decide if the absence be excused or not. A 1% deduction will be
levied against the final grade for each unexcused absence, and a 0.5% deduction for arriving late,
leaving early, disruptive behaviors, and so on. For more detailed attendance policies of the Chinese
Language Program, which apply to CHIN481, see https://chinese.arts.ubc.ca/regulations. For
instance,
“2.1. Attendance is imperative for the successful completion of language courses. Students
who are unavoidably absent because of illness or emergencies should report their situation
to the instructors as soon as possible. In such cases, a doctor’s note or appropriate
documentation from academic or departmental advisors explaining the absence, otherwise
a 0.5% ~ 1% deduction will be levied against the final grade for each unexcused absence.
Arriving late or leaving early is disruptive for class and will lead to the deduction of
participation marks. Being late for 20 minutes or more or leaving 20 minutes or before will
be counted as one absence.”
(Addressing LO1, LO2 and LO3)
2. Online Self-Study Quizzes, 5%, all term

6. Capstone Project, 50%, week 8 - week 15
Students should start working on the Capstone Project immediately in week 8. For their capstone
project, students can choose CHIN 481 course texts that have or have not yet been covered in
weeks 7-13.

6.1. Final Paper Proposal, 15% week 10
Topics for the final paper will be given to the students via Canvas in week 8. Students are expected
to do adequate research before they start drafting their proposals. After familiarizing themselves
with the chosen topic and coming up with some initial ideas, students need to integrate and
organize those thoughts into a coherent proposal (800-1000 Chinese characters, excluding the
bibliography) that outlines the capstone project. Here are a few steps they should follow in order to
write a good proposal:
A.
Select the topic and texts that interest them the most.
B.
Read the materials repeatedly and then write down their own ideas.
C.
The proposal should contain the following parts:
✔ a working title for the final paper;
✔ an introductory paragraph that clearly states the selected topic, the adopted
analytical approaches, and the initial thesis;
✔ a section that contains three or more bullet points (written in full sentences), each of
which elaborates on the thesis and is followed by pertinent textual evidence;
✔ a conclusion that summarizes how the supporting points relate to the thesis;
✔ an annotated bibliography that includes 3 to 5 secondary sources relevant to the
final research paper.
The detailed requirements and rubrics can be found in Canvas > Assignments.
6.2. Final Paper Presentation, 10%, Week 13
Students will record a 3-minute presentation on the final paper. The presentation should elaborate
upon the major points in the final paper and can serve as a good opportunity to further clarify
certain arguments. Students are required to present with Powerpoint slides, although other more
CHIN 481 002 2022W1 Syllabus- 9
advanced visual aids, such as Prezi, VideoScribe, flash animation, Tiktok, and so on, and also are

relevant assignment on Canvas. Make sure to click “Save” when you are finished and
ready to submit.
B. File Uploads: Videotape your presentation with your own device, and upload the file in
the relevant assignment on Canvas. You may want to minimize the size of the file so that
you and the instructor will not experience difficulties in processing it. In the meantime, it
is your responsibility to make sure the video file is operational on common media
players.
C. Website URL: Videotape your presentation with your own device, upload the video to
YouTube (set to "Unlisted"), and submit the link (website URL) in the relevant assignment
on Canvas. YouTube submission is preferable to most users for it accommodates various
file types and large file sizes. But please note that information submitted to YouTube is
stored in the United States, and you should remove identifying information, such as your
name and student number, from your submission to YouTube.
Please refer to the assignment section on Canvas for grading rubrics and further instruction.
(Addressing LO1 and LO3)
6.3. Final Paper, 25%, Week 15, Due on Tuesday, Dec 13, 11:59pm.
The capstone project will culminate in an individual research paper. The final paper, with a word
limit of 3500 to 4000 Chinese characters, should be developed from the proposal and incorporate
the previous feedback garnered from the instructor. It will be graded according to rubrics on
Canvas. The following is a comprehensive list of the standards by which the highest grade will be
assigned to a final paper:
✔ Thesis is highly specific, interesting, and original.
✔ Paper shows that you thoroughly understand the state of the field, and your thesis begins
where other scholarship has left off.
✔ Each step of the argument displays excellent logic and focus.
✔ Evidence is unimpeachable, deployed effectively in support of your argument, and took
diligence and cleverness to discover.
CHIN 481 002 2022W1 Syllabus- 10
✔ Secondary sources are in significant excess of minimum requirements, are all highly
pertinent and from highly trustworthy scholarly venues, and are used as supplements to
your own analysis, rather than as simple proof-texts.
✔ Structure is clear and well-suited to the argument, which it presents effectively.
✔ Tone is scholarly and assumes that both you and your reader are intelligent and
well-informed.
✔ Paper always offers analysis, rather than summary or speculation.
✔ Paper is excellently written, with not only perfect mechanics (grammar, spelling,
punctuation, etc.), but also stylistic flair.
✔ Conclusion, rather than summarizing, suggests the larger significance of what has been
argued, and does so in a convincing and thought-provoking manner.
✔ Bibliographic citations are given in perfect accordance with the prescribed format.
Please refer to the “Assignments” section on Canvas for grading rubrics and further instruction.

UNIVERSITY POLICIES
UBC provides resources to support student learning and to maintain healthy lifestyles but
recognizes that sometimes crises arise and so there are additional resources to access including
those for survivors of sexual violence. UBC values respect for the person and ideas of all members
of the academic community. Harassment and discrimination are not tolerated nor is suppression of
academic freedom. UBC provides appropriate accommodation for students with disabilities and for
religious observances. UBC values academic honesty and students are expected to acknowledge the
ideas generated by others and to uphold the highest academic standards in all of their actions.
Details of the policies and how to access support are available on the UBC Senate website.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
The academic enterprise is founded on honesty, civility, and integrity. As members of this
enterprise, all students are expected to know, understand, and follow the codes of conduct
regarding academic integrity. At the most basic level, this means submitting only original work done
by you and acknowledging all sources of information or ideas and attributing them to others as
required. This also means you should not cheat, copy, or mislead others about what is your work.
Violations of academic integrity (i.e., misconduct) lead to the breakdown of the academic
enterprise, and therefore serious consequences arise and harsh sanctions are imposed. For
example, incidences of plagiarism or cheating may result in a mark of zero on the assignment or
exam and more serious consequences may apply when the matter is referred to the Office of the
Dean. Careful records are kept in order to monitor and prevent recurrences. A more detailed
description of academic integrity, including the University’s policies and procedures, may be found
in the UBC Calendar: Student Conduct and Discipline.
ACADEMIC ACCOMMODATION FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
CHIN 481 002 2022W1 Syllabus- 16
Academic accommodations help students with a disability or ongoing medical condition overcome
challenges that may affect their academic success. Students requiring academic accommodations
must register with the Centre for Accessibility. They will determine the student's eligibility for
accommodations in accordance with Policy 73: Academic Accommodation for Students with
Disabilities. Academic accommodations are not determined by your instructors, and instructors
should not ask you about the nature of your disability or ongoing medical condition, or request
copies of your disability documentation. However, your instructor may consult with the Centre for
Accessibility should the accommodations affect the essential learning outcomes of a course.
CONFLICTING RESPONSIBILITIES
UBC recognizes that students may occasionally have conflicting responsibilities that affect their
ability to attend class or examinations. These may include: representing the University, the province
or the country in a competition or performance; serving in the Canadian military; or observing a
religious rite. They may also include a change in a student’s situation that unexpectedly requires
that student to work or take responsibility for the care of a family member, if these were not
pre-existing situations at the start of term.
Students with conflicting responsibilities have a duty to arrange their course schedules so as to
avoid, as much as possible, any conflicts with course requirements. As soon as conflicting
responsibilities arise, students must notify either their instructor(s) or their Faculty Advising Office
(e.g. Arts Academic Advising), and can request academic concession. Instructors may not be able to
comply with all such requests if the academic standards and integrity of the course or program
would be compromised.
Varsity student-athletes should discuss any anticipated and unavoidable regular-season absences
with the instructor at the start of term, and provide notice of playoff or championship absences in
writing as soon as dates are confirmed.
Religious observance may preclude attending classes or examinations at certain times. In
accordance with the UBC Policy on Religious Holidays, students who wish to be accommodated for
religious reasons must notify their instructors in writing at least two weeks in advance. Instructors
provide opportunity for such students to make up work or examinations missed without penalty.
COURSE POLICIES
Learning Analytics
Learning analytics includes the collection and analysis of data about learners to improve teaching
and learning. This course will be using the following learning technologies: [Canvas, iClicker, iPeer,
etc.]. Many of these tools capture data about your activity and provide information that can be used
CHIN 481 002 2022W1 Syllabus- 17
to improve the quality of teaching and learning. In this course, I plan to use analytics data to:

Learning Resources
A Canvas Module entitled “Additional Resources” contains many useful “how to” documents to help
you. Please consult it as needed. It is the last section of the Module page.
Lecture and Intellectual Property
The lectures I give in this course, and the slides I use in support of the lectures, are my intellectual
property, and as such are protected by law. That protection applies to the slides themselves, and
your transcription (e.g. copying word-for-word) of the slides (whether or not you've added
annotations).
Permission to make recordings fall within my discretion as the instructor as informed by
instructional purposes, classroom order, property interests and other reasonable considerations
arising in the academic context. If I do authorize you to record a lecture, the recording may only be
used for the purpose of individual or group study, or for other non-commercial purposes that
reasonably arise from your membership in this class.
Lecture slides and recordings of this class may not be exchanged for any commercial purpose, for
compensation, or for any purpose other than your personal study. Unless authorized by me in
advance and explicitly, any other commercial or any non-personal use of slides or recordings
constitutes a misuse of my intellectual property and is a breach of the UBC Student Code of
Conduct. I reserve the right to report students who misuse my intellectual property, and such
students may be subject to disciplinary measures: see the UBC Student Code of Conduct.
