The first chapter test has done for each class and now the active number of students are getting clearer.
Japanese 1101 (The First Semester) class has 44 students who are equally distributed into two classes.
Japanese 1102 (The Second Semester) class is surprisingly continuing with 23 students, which is quite impressive.
Japanese 2201 (The Third Semester) class is a special class with two students.
Japanese 2202 (The Fourth Semester) class has 13 students which is more than enough good students!
Spring Trip to Kyoto, Japan has 8 students, and ready to go to Japan at the end of March for 10 days.
More surprisingly, Summer Study Abroad Program this year is quickly filling up all slots and as of now 13 students are for sure going to Japan with GTS this summer, Amazing.

A week has passed in the Spring Semester!
Japanese 1101 (first semester) classes began with over 50 students in two classes though they have already begun shrinking. GTS is hoping that 30 would stay so that there will be enough students for 1102 in the fall semester!
Japanese 1102 also began with almost full and 2201 this coming fall seems to be very promising.
2202 has 14 students and this is a big improvement from last year.
2201, which had a dozen students last year, is now only having two excellent students but they will be well taken care of this semester.
Spring trip has almost 10 students and this is twice as big as the trip last year!!
Summer Study Abroad official registrants are now already 6 and some are on their way so the trip will go no matter what!
Special class of Japanese 1100, culture and civilization of Japan, has just enough students to run so we will have a good time together over reading, watching, discussing, etc.
Over all good start!

The Spring Semster 2014 begins in a few days!
The Spring semester classes will begin on Wednesday (1/15/2014). Two classes of Japanese 1101 and Japanese 1102 seems to be filled by the first class!!! Japanese 1102 night class will still go on though it is a small class!
Unfortunately Japanese 2252 was cancelled due to the low enrollment which was predicted, but Japanese 2201 will still go on even though there will be only a few students in it! (MyAccess screen of COD website may not show this class at a moment but will come back on soon)
Japanese 2202 (4th semester class) has about 10 students but 4,5 more students are expected to be registered so it will be the larger class than usual!!
Japanese 1100 (Culture and Civilization of Japan) will be the small class but students in it will have a lot of fun with various discussion and activities!
The Spring break Japan field trip has 6 participants so far and a couple more are expected to register so the trip will GO!
The summer Study Abroad has 4 students registered and quite a few are expected to come as well!
Over all it is a good start in the year 2014.

The end of the semester is just around corner!
Year 2013 is closing to the end as this semester is finishing up. I am really hoping everyone left in classes pass somehow this semester. But the number will not tell a lie so I am scared myself!
2 classes of 1101 next semester have already a dozen students in each class so they will run!
1102 has about 15 students, which is really good!
Spring trip has 6 students registered now and a couple more students are likely coming!
Good ending of the year 2013 and also promising 2014 is welcoming GTS! Superb!

Spring Semester Regitration goes well so far!
Morning 1102 has already a dozen students including some from the night class and it will be filled up!
1101 classes (daily morning and late afternoon) are gradually filling so looking good!
2201 afternoon class may have only a few students as the current 1102 class has only 9 students! Yet the class will go as there are all excellent students.
2202 class is quite promising and there will be about a dozen excellent students to enjoy with GTS with many smiles and, of course, some bitterness!
2252 (the 6th semester class which is the final sequential class at COD) will have 4,5 students
maybe!
Spring trip is getting bigger as well!
There are 3 officially registering to THE 2014 SUMMER STUDY ABROAD!
