The tea ceremony is really that bad? wow you are scary me. |
Grading Criteria
Regular tests, Attendance, Attitude, Class participation
There will also be a practical exam on the final day of class
I have a feeling (and it is worth asking about) that the grading is not on how much Japanese you know, but on how well you follow your teacher's instructions. Firm academic classes do not grade on attitude, so I wouldn't worry. The fact that it is being offered to non-native students might be an indicator that it is designed for non-native speakers.
If you have a passion for the tea ceremony, then go for it. If you don't, I think you will want quit after a week. I know I would.
