The questions are asked in English but Han Han responds in Chinese and we see subtitles. 

If you want to incorporate a survey into your presentation and paper, please bring copies of surveys to class or you can use an online survey -- which we will do in class.  Or you can send one to Ms. Patton and I will bring copies.  This is not required.  It is only if you want to do it.
