It is a chill documentary course. We watched about 10 documentary (one per week) about different topics from stories of individual families to stories of government officers. It is mostly a discussion and presentations by groups of students throughout the semester.
This class is a lot of work and can be very mentally taxing, but Du laoshi was a really great teacher. This class is really no joke, but the entire Chinese department is always willing to help you and are all very welcoming.
Wang Laoshi and He Laoshi were both excellent professors who are both fun and caring towards their students. Homework ranged between very simple writing responses (<30 minutes) to surprisingly long assignments (~2 hours). Lectures were the highlight of this class thanks to the enthusiasm of the professors and the speedy-yet-forgiving nature of the course.
