TOP REVIEWS FROM UNDERSTANDING CHINA, 1700-2000: A DATA ANALYTIC APPROACH, PART 1
Informative, relevant, and unique. The focus on recent discoveries unearthed through original research is refreshing.
I liked the data-driven, very analytic approach to understand Chines history better. Thank you for a great course.
This is the best course on Chinese history I've attended..
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.
