Course summary

Mixed

This course covers Hong Kong's 20th-century history and is suitable for students with moderate interest in local studies. It has a light workload, but grading can be confusing, with some students finding it generous while others struggle to get high grades without deviating from taught concepts.

Grading

Grading varies—some find it generous, while others feel the criteria are unclear and harsh.

Workload

Workload is moderate, including one midterm (2 essay questions), a group presentation, and a final essay. Grading is not heavily curved.

Assessments

Assessment includes one midterm exam with short essays, a group presentation, and a 2000-word final essay on self-chosen topics.

Teaching

Teaching quality varies; some find the lectures hard to follow without full attention. Tutors are generally helpful but grading can be inconsistent.

Tips

Focus on understanding taught concepts for exams as they form the basis of your essays. Prepare well for presentations and avoid deviating from class material unless you want to show 'intellectual thinking'.
