Great course for laying foundations, but part 1 does not really have much to do with Chinese society. Actually can start from part 2 directly if you already know the methods.

The course is very meaningful to learn the basic skills in social science. It is very valuable for students who wanted to study social science in university to take it as a preview

Casts a wide net covering a wide range of topics in social science, albeit brief with this being a short course. A particular strength is the use of examples to clearly illustrate the many concepts. Professor Campbell pointed out the traps, pitfalls and controversy in many areas, so there are rich contents worth re-visiting.
