Social Development: China, Asia, and the World

Grading is described as generous by some but can be harsh if you don't perform well in quizzes and the group project. A+ grades are attainable with effort, though free-riders may still get high marks.

Workload varies; it's manageable for some but heavy for others due to weekly discussions and a significant group project. Typically requires around 3-5 hours per week of work.

Assessment includes five short (150-word) reflections, two in-class quizzes, one individual essay, and one group project presentation and video. Quizzes are open-book and easy if you review the PPTs.

Professors and tutors are generally described as friendly and helpful, though some find lectures less engaging for those familiar with China's social issues.

Form a good team for the group project, attend quizzes to ensure high grades, and write all required reflections to secure full marks. Being proactive in asking for help from TAs can be beneficial.
