It's a fucking joke. They're only offering Japanese III online next semester here at UNO, and I'm incredibly annoyed. Japanese I/II consisted of two things: 1. a strong in class component consisting of the teacher explaining each chapter and the class working through verbal and written exrecises together to better understand what was being taught, and 2. weekly online tests. If you remove the in class portion, then you're left with basic tests re-asking you all the questions that are in the book. What's the point? I could just be teaching myself. Actually, I AM teaching myself, meanwhile I'm paying the same price as I would be paying if I were actually going to a physical classroom and interacting with a teacher.
