What students said

HSEA GU4880 · Fall 2024

I learned about the late Ming, and early-late Qing dynasties in imperial China, from 1600 to the early 1900s. We learned about famous wars, famous emperors, famous movements, famous rebellions, and everything else in between. We also looked at art and scholarship from this period.

HSEA GU4880 · Fall 2024

Lots of historiographical debates about the history of modern china that you wouldn't get in a 1-2000 level class.

HSEA GU4880 · Fall 2024

Some stuff about the Qing dynasty. The professor is great but the course is rather boring unless you have a particular interest in Qing China.

HSEA GU4880 · Fall 2024

I learned the history of China during the Qing period.

HSEA GU4880 · Fall 2024

Chinese history from the late Ming to late Qing

HSEA GU4880 · Fall 2024

Learned about the most notable events in Qing dynasty and perspectives in Chinese historiography from a Western lens

HSEA GU4880 · Fall 2024

This class provided a profound exploration of the Qing dynasty, delving into various aspects such as economics, commercialization, urbanization, and the role of women.

HSEA GU4880 · Fall 2024

The professor gives lots of feedback on writing assignments and helps direct studying for the final exam.

HSEA GU4880 · Fall 2024

It is an extremely boring course. Unless you are really interested in Qing history, I would pick a separate course with Professor Fong.

HSEA GU4880 · Fall 2024

It is an extremely comprehensive course that covers the Qing dynasty to the finest detail. While the level of depth it covers is very admirable, the course load in terms of weekly readings is quite hefty, and a large commitment.
