There's probably a good reason behind it, like a lack of teachers or something. Hahah, yeah, your Chinese is probably better than mine. I can hardly hold a conversation in Mandarin! Do your language classes have exams that count towards your final overall grade? If they don't, then that's probably why the school isn't putting such a great emphasis on them.

Er... I'm afraid I don't understand your question? Are you simply asking if we have tests? If yes... then yes. lol And we still have midterms and finals, like every other class.

Ummmm... as in, do those tests culminate along with tests from other courses in your final GPA? Or are they just an add-on to your report card, without any real significance (apart from you being able to learn a new language, yadda yadda)?

Yeah, it goes into my GPA. In fact, you're required to take a language where I go to school. Which is one of the reasons I find it so puzzling that they aren't putting more effort into it. It's not like the requirement is even in the electives section for requirements!
