Course summary

Positive

The course covers ancient novel history with engaging lectures from a guest professor who was either from Peking University or the University of Tokyo, making the material accessible but requiring extra effort for top grades. It's good for students interested in classical Chinese fiction and those who appreciate clear and humorous teaching.

Grading

Grading is not generous; first-year students might find it harder to get an A+ due to higher standards set by guest professors from Peking University or the University of Tokyo.

Workload is light—minimal readings, two reading reports, one midterm paper, a group presentation, and a final exam. Tutorials are minimal with only three discussions to prepare for the semester.

Assessments
