This semester, a group of German students visited our school and I was assigned to teach them a class of Project Management. It was a quite interesting experience since students are so different from the students we have on this campus. 
I remember one day before spring break, I just finished grading their midterm exam and posted the grades on Moodle site. Then I ran into one student outside of the library. He said, “OMG, Ms. Fang Fang, you are so quick grading those exams!” (I finished grading one day after the test.)
“I was not expecting to see my grades, until TK texted me. It will take our professor in Germany 3 months to finish grading”… I laughed…
I also remember their knocking the desk when I dismissed the class. My first reaction hearing it was that it must be some prank. But they told me that means “THANK YOU”… Interesting culture? (Or is it a culture thing at all?) They have good quantitative skills and are always very good keeping up on homework assignments. They seem enjoying staying in San Diego very much too. I always thought maybe I will get them together after the semester, but just found out that they already left. Today I received a thank-you card from them, which is really really sweet. Hope you all well and maybe seeing you some time later… wave~~~
