One thing I'm not used to for class is not doing anything. Japanese art history is like that. It's a fairly high-level course, backed up by the fact that me and me, Terumi, and Jiaqi are the only sophomores in the class. Everyone else is a junior, senior, or grad student.
In summary, the only grades are a visual analysis paper, a introduction thesis to the final paper, and the final paper, which is due in a month.
(Dang, How To Train Your Dragon is very pretty in Blu-ray HDTV-ness.)
We got our introduction thesis papers back the other night, which I was very happy to get an A on. But the best part is the comment she left at the end:
"Your writing is very poetic and articulate, but also leaves out many details and can leave something to be desired. However, the way it is constructed manages to fill in those missing details with vivid imagrey." (And then notes on the subject.)
Or as Jiaqi put it, "So she likes your writing but doesn't like it but then says it's okay because you do stuff that she likes."
Man, why are clear responses so hard to get out of people...professors...
