One lecturer at a university in Wuchang, Hubei Province has come up with a novel way of improving her students’ communication skills and confidence. She has assigned homework where the students in her class have to meet fellow students of the opposite sex on campus and try to find out specific information about them. The goal is to get their name, number and room number among others.
The guidelines for the assignment are that the students must approach their target by themselves and they may not tell the person they are talking to about the project. The lecturer hopes that this undertaking will improve their communication skills and their ways of expressing themselves. Sounds a little daunting.

As I read this, I thought this was a great idea considering the extreme shyness of the Chinese population. I wonder what the results will be, haha. It's a good thing the instructor is female, because if she were male, I'd have to wonder about ulterior motives. Name, number, *room number*... yeah I can see a male instructor taking advantage of that. And we all know it's happened before. But who knows, maybe this female instructor wants to get some action? Haha joking, joking... or am I? (I am)

Attention. After-effects of talking to girls can lead to an outbreak of babies and hairs in your shower sink.

Congrats to this teacher, but I'm willing to bet 99% of the guys cheated.

University is a time to get out of your comfort zone and learn - this is a novel approach. Hopefully everybody will have a positive experience.
