Spring 2021 schedule
A note on modes of instruction for DAMES courses this spring:
Almost all of our courses will be remote synchronous. JAPN 246 will meet in person only. ASIA 57, ASIA 427, CHIN 252, CHIN 510, JAPN 162, and KOR 232 will be primarily remote synchronous, but will have a wholly-or-mostly-asynchronous option available with instructor permission. This note does not apply to courses in the “crosslist” or “courses of interest” sections below; for their modes, see ConnectCarolina or consult the offering department.
