Dec. 5 – Dec. 9
Amazingly, we’re in the final week! Do you remember that first week when you barely knew anything about Chinese history, let alone what a hungry ghost was or why you should be careful in the mountains for these foxes and monkeys??
Congrats on getting this far! One final push and you’re done with this semester! Next week is just a nice chat with a cup of tea, and you give yourself a pat on the back and a grade we both can agree on. Sounds easy? Then get to work this week to sail through finals!
Unless otherwise noted, all assignments and tasks are due by 11:59PM. I strongly suggest you keep a healthy life-work balance and make sure to get enough sleep. Check the “best-before dates” policy in the syllabus.
| Monday |
- □ Look ahead at the tasks for this week, and plan in when you will do them.
- – This prevents last minute panic, and means you can make the most of our time together in class.
-
- □ Feedback on your fellow students’ posts: final time!
- – Read through and use Hypothes.is (Group HST107) to comment on your fellow students’ First Post: everybody likes some encouragement! Here is a random selection of three posts. If two or more posts are the same, or one is your own, just refresh the page for a different set. It’s all random, it’s all good!

- □ Big review exercise and evaluations:
- – Look through the course materials from the past semester: check the Weekly Schedule, or read your Weekly Blog post to refresh your memory on where we’ve been and what we’ve seen. Take a few notes on what was remarkable, strange, interesting, and write down the name of the text/source: it will help us to make connections more easily!
- □ Meeting: Ettinger 204, 3.30PM
- – Course evaluation: we’ll make time in class after you’ve had a chance to remember how many awesome things you’ve learned this semester!
