Course summary
The course is engaging with a mix of storytelling and historical context. It's suitable for those interested in Chinese history or looking for a lighter workload. Grading can be generous, but requires careful writing.
Grading is generally generous; multiple students mention that well-written essays can secure A grades, though the final essay focused on deep textual analysis was more challenging and less forgiving.
The workload is moderate with four tutorials and one essay. Lectures are engaging but fast-paced in parts, especially for non-native Mandarin speakers.
Assessment includes four tutorials (40% of grade), a final essay (50%), and attendance (10%). Two essay topics are provided to choose from.
The professor is highly knowledgeable and engaging, while the tutor is helpful. Both can communicate in both Mandarin and Cantonese.
Write carefully for the essays; participation in tutorials is important for grades. Being well-prepared for the final essay with deep textual analysis is crucial.
