SDLC 111: Bi-Weekly Report #2

[Angella Lee]

This week, I learned about the structure of a Korean campus. We learned about the general terms that deals with the layout of a Korean campus, such as “kwan” means building and “lo” means street, which are used at the end of the word. The beginning part of the word is usually the name of the street or building. After we learned about the general terms, we watched a video that detailed the specific campus structure of Yonsei University because that is my goal. Unlike University of Richmond where both Richmond and Westhampton sides of campus are integrated with class buildings and dorms, these two things are completely separated at Yonsei University. There is a section for just dorms and section for just classroom buildings, with sub-sections of both.

I think watching a video of the campus was a pretty effective way of learning about the structure because I was able to visualize where these buildings and streets are. This is a better way to learn than just listening to audio recordings because I will be unable to match the name of a building to how it actually looks like. Now that I know about how the campus is structured, I can proceed to identify the specific places that I will be using often, such as the science building and my dorm. I can also research the type of classes that they offer, so that I can successfully register for the classes that I want to take.
