Five Week Rule
Thursday, March 10, 2005-4:00 PM
Anyone interested in teaching English in China may be interested in this anecdote that sheds a little light at how organized Chinese universities can be.
The Foreign Affairs Office sent me an email this afternoon telling me they "forgot" to tell me that I'm supposed to teach two classes Thursday afternoons. It's already the third week of the semester, and nobody figured this out until today.
Two classes is about a third of my schedule. Even if I start teaching next week, I will only give these students seven out of the ten lessons I was originally slated to.
I haven't been told yet if they expect me to make up the first three classes.
