Professor Morrison is extremely helpful and accommodating. The class talks about different Buddhism traditions and Chinese philosophies. However, it is more of a historical approach rather than a philosophy one. The discussion is provoking and slow paced.

I had no prior knowledge of religion or Japan coming into this course - I am a STEM major who just needed the distribution requirements. However, I feel like I learned a lot and Morrison was incredibly good at teaching concepts that I didn't have a lot of experience with. There are 2 analytical papers, 1 research paper, and 2 short essays on readings, and no other graded assignments besides class participation. I did not find it super easy to stay engaged with the lecture but did still feel like I learned a lot.

This course is pretty reading heavy and has weekly reading buddy assignment to make sure you are doing it. In my opinion this is a real pain, I am fine with the readings, but the reading buddy assignment feels unnecessary and takes a long time (weekly). In this course there's a midterm, final, vocational assignment, and persuasive essay. In my opinion feels pretty writing heavy for a non CW class.
