Participation and discussion constitute a central part in this course. Attendance is mandatory. Students are expected to complete all required readings prior to class meetings and to actively participate in class discussion. Absence without legitimate reasons will lead to deduction in scores for participation and discussion, and in extreme cases, may lead to a student’s failure in the course.
The proceeding of the course will be based on students’ presentation of the required texts related to the general themes and specific topics. Throughout the course, each student is expected to write a short memo (1-2 pages) 1-3 times (depending on the number of student enrollment) which briefly summarizes and critiques required texts for a particular session. Memos and presentations will count toward scores in participation. The students who prepare memos should circulate the memos to other students and the instructor before class, and each make a 5-7 minute presentation in class, which is followed by class discussion.
Texts
There are both required and recommended readings for each class. No book purchase needed. All the required texts (those highlighted in bold) will be available through PKU Summer School arrangements.
Class presentation: Two or three Students as a group will do a joint presentation work ( depends on students enrolled). Students are asked to do a group presentation on a specific issue (including a specific firm) they find interesting concerning China and analyze how institutions affect what they observe from China. It can be anything covered or not covered by the lectures and the sources can be anything.
Term essay( no more than 10 pages): Students are asked to write an essay based on a book or an article related to China and discuss what they have learned from the documents and how they find institutions matters.
