In most circumstances courses 198A-198B-198C are taken in the senior year (fall, winter, and spring quarters), although students also have the option of taking course 198A in spring quarter of their junior year. Students are expected to use an Asian language in their research, with the scope of language work to be determined in consultation with their faculty adviser.
