Winter 2025 - I really enjoyed this class and found it really expanded my knowledge on China. While the tests are a bit difficult, if you really go over all the slides and feel your confident in your knowledge you should do great. There was no discussion for this class which is a time saver, and the final project was interesting but very easy. The map quiz was easy to get full points for as long as you memorized everything. The professor is great and engaging, with lots of personal experience in China which was interesting to hear about and how it connects to his lectures. I would definitely recommend taking this class. Also wanted to note I had next to no knowledge of contemporary China before this class, but if you do its a plus.
