History of the Song and Yuan periods

Grading is honest, though the curve boosts scores nicely. Essays count heavily, and formatting is strictly enforced.

The workload is heavy due to detailed lectures and challenging essays, requiring several hours per week of study and research.

Assessment includes essays (heavily weighted), tutorials, and possibly midterms or finals; no mention of quizzes or projects.

Professor Cai provides meticulous lectures but can be talkative. Tutorials are engaging with Uncle Luo as the tutor.

Participate actively in tutorials, email the professor often for guidance on research directions and essay feedback.
