2946 JAPN-203-01 Kanji, Script, and Calligraphy 0.50 SEM Izumi,Katsuya R: 1:30PM-2:45PM TBA HUM  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Prerequisite: Japanese 101 or equivalent.
  This course offers a guide to the Japanese script system (kana and kanji) for students who have at least passed Elementary Japanese 101. We will mainly focus on kanji and consider their history, orthography, and analysis, but students will also consider kanji-learning strategies and commit to learning a particular set of kanji over the course of the semester. In a few classes we will study chirography and calligraphy by practicing them. Students are expected to review kanji they have learned while learning new kanji. The course is thus intended to support and supplement Intermediate and Advanced Japanese classes. While repeatable for credits, this course can only be used to fulfill 0.5 credit toward Japanese major and not for Japanese minor. This course cannot be used to satisfy the second language requirement.

(Since the content of this course varies from year to year to focus on the most contemporary materials, students may enroll for credit more than once.)(Also offered under the Asian studies program.)
