Course summary

Mixed

Introduction to Buddhism is generally seen as an easy course that covers basic Buddhist concepts, though some find it less engaging due to the teaching style of Dr. Pu in later semesters. It's good for students looking for an easy A+ or those with a passing interest in Buddhism.

Grading

Grading can be harsh; quizzes account for a large proportion of the grade, and getting one or two questions wrong can significantly affect your final score.

Workload

Light to moderate workload, mainly consisting of two quizzes, two essays, and some discussion points. The first half is taught by engaging lecturers, but the second half may be less interesting due to Dr. Pu's teaching style.

Assessments

Two quizzes (30% each), two essays, and attendance/discussion points.

Teaching

Teaching quality varies; some find it engaging with philosophical insights, while others find later lectures by Dr. Pu boring and difficult to follow due to a strong Chinese accent.

Tips

Use GPT for quiz preparation if possible, as the questions are simple but time-sensitive. Communicate more with tutors for essay writing advice.
