There is a lot of reading in this class. It is pretty much entirely lecture, reading, and essay based, and for the exams you need to memorize terms, dates, and people who relate to Confucius and/or Confucianism. There were some parts of the class that I found interesting, but if you do not have an interest in history, east Asia, or philosophy, I would not recommend taking this course.

This class is not for the faint of heart. It is a challenging, full-body dive into the complexities of the philosophy of history from Herodotus and Sima Qian, all the way to the present. As a small seminar course, it is also quite intimate. I hope everyone that is able to take this class has the privilege of having a group of good-humored, inquisitive and kind classmates, as I so did.

Professor Wyatt is extremely knowledgeable. His scripts are amazing though he tend to lecture by reading his scripts, which I personally find okay. His exams are not easy and you need to listen to the lectures in order to do well
