Learned very much with this fine summary. Brought many more questions to mind, and areas for added research. Enjoyed the quick material checkups after each specific topic.

An easy to understand and insightful look into Chinese culture. It goes beyond the basics of what you would learn from living in the country.

It was my first course on Coursera. Only 4 stars because it was very short and light. Thank you for creating the opportunity to learn. Yuliya.

Fascinating topic, especially Chinese painting. The videos were enjoyable and instructive and the quizzes were tricky but not overly difficult. Glad I took the course. I learned a lot.
