Shaping our World: Liberalism, Socialism and Nationalism

Grading is perceived as fair to generous, with many students finding it relatively easy to achieve a good grade, especially if they are engaged and interested.

The workload is generally light but can be challenging for those not interested. The course involves attending lectures (some mandatory), completing quizzes, and writing an essay. Attendance isn't strictly enforced, but the content can be dense.

Assessment includes four 200-word essay quizzes, a 1500-word final essay, and occasional class participation. There are no interim grades provided, which some students find disconcerting.

The professor is described as engaging and knowledgeable, with some variation in teaching styles (e.g., Richard Wong vs. Vice Chancellor Wang Yu-jian). Students appreciate his passion but note that the structure can be chaotic at times.

Attend lectures regularly to fully grasp the content, especially if you are not naturally interested in political philosophy. Seek feedback on essays and participate actively in tutorials for better understanding and grades.
