Comentários e feedback de alunos de Compreendendo a China, 1700-2000: Uma abordagem analítica, Parte 1 da instituição Universidade de Ciência e Tecnologia de Hong Kong

Brilliant course. High quality information, comprehensive sources and interesting tests. Part 1 puts the revolution in a new perspective and connects imperial China with contemporary China. The course also throws a light on equality vs inequality globally and in China. The course is controversial in that it reflects duly and appropriately the complexity of Chinese social history and its development as opposed to the black-and-white view on China which still persists in the West. I also liked the very down-to-earth approach of Prof Lee.

I enjoyed this course tremendously, and discovered that there was a vast amount of information that I needed to learn about this SuperPower. China is an amazing country with an enormous population and economy, a history of remarkable achievement, and yet still unknown in many ways. Thanks for putting this course together.

Assumptions or discourses of social diversity, wealth distribution/inequality were examined in a multi-faceted manner. Appropriate coverage of social theories as background for the discussions, which made it very interesting for a natural science student like me. Nice course! I'm very happy I took it.

This is a very short but informative course comparing the wealth distribution between China and the United States / UK throughout times of history. It features history but also data analysis looking at education levels influenced social mobility in society. Eyeopening course.

I loved the course. It gave me a totally different view of pre-revolution China. Even though I am not into

quantitative data, I still learned from the conclusions and interpretations of the data.

This course was very informative and engaging. The questions were a great way to check understanding. I can't wait for Part 2!

Very relevant and precise information, videos were also very engaging. I am definitely doing the second part of this course.

Informative, relevant, and unique. The focus on recent discoveries unearthed through original research is refreshing.

A very in-depth introduction to Chinese society. This learning experience is very valuable. Thanks a lot.

The truth about China. This is fact, by evidence, by statistics. Very good to know.

Well presented material, new and surprising insights. Rewarding experience.

Excellent to know a little about this great nation, culture and philosophy

This is the best course on Chinese history I've attended..

Very interesting, I would recommend this course.

It is a very short and concise course.

totally useful! love it!

good

A little bit slow at first, amazing for people who just want to have some contact with the history and culture of china!

I liked the data-driven, very analytic approach to understand Chines history better. Thank you for a great course.

The video lessons were kind of long

Very good

Has some interesting bits about Chinese history, is however in part pretty biased and also uses, in my eyes, misleading comparisons sometimes, e.g. using only home ownership rates to compare wealth levels for different countries which is arguably an imperfect proxy measurement. In Germany, for example, the home ownership rate is one of the lowest in the world, but I would not say that Germans are particularly poor or poorer than people from countries with higher home ownership rates simply because they are more likely to rent than to buy homes.

This course was boring as hell.
