Here at Peking University international summer school, we have a very diverse student
body. There are some students who are major in politic science or history, but more
students actually have very diverse educational backgrounds. It’s different, dynamic, but
I enjoy the learning environment exactly because of this diversity.
China is already the world's second largest economy, and also the world's largest
exporter, and manufacturers. So the spectacular economic growth during the past
several decades generates a lot of interest around the world. So many students, no
matter whether they are in school, or in the industry, they want to know more about
China. So my course hopes to provide them with such knowledge, so they can have a
better understanding of the current status as well as future challenges and polices of
China's economy.
We hope that our students can base their understanding of Africa-China interactions
on concrete knowledge in the economic, political, and cultural context for both China
and Africa rather than ideological assumptions. We encourage students to adopt an
open interdisciplinary approach and to use these approaches to create more nuanced
understandings of Africa-China interactions and to think about or reflect on their own
contributions to the knowledge production in the context of the Global South.
ON ONLINE COURSES
“This is my first time to have this online course, the TAs are being very patient to solve my problems about the
assignment and the system. I do not only learn some concepts but also some attitudes from students who take
universities from all over the world.”
“Knowledgeable and experienced teaching skill. The professor can explain complicated models in a very clear
way and always support with an example in real life, which is very helpful. Also, Professor Qin is very supportive.
For example, if some students want to submit a formal paper, he will give us professional sources and journals to
refer to help us finish it in a better way.”
“Their encouragement to students and free academic discussion atmosphere. The professor encourages students
to ask questions and always answer the questions in a kind and clear way. The TA welcome discussion in Wechat
Group, too.”
“I like the professor’s opinions toward the literature. They are inspiring. Well explained content and interesting
materials allow me to have an in-depth reflection of what I learned in class and what I experienced outside class.”
“I like how there are quite a lot of activities and variety of material for the course which makes it interesting. I also
like how the atmosphere is nice and everyone seems really supportive and encouraging of the learning.”
ON ON-SITE COURSES
“Hear perspectives from a Chinese point of view, and avail yourself of precious opportunities to visit
public and private institutions.”
“Since I am studying Environmental Science in Canada, I have had a hard time learning about the
Chinese environment, and this course has provided me an excellent chance to learn more about
the subject. Also, Professor Zhou is an awesome professor. She taught me the importance of critical
thinking as well as made me feel interested in Environmental Science.”
“The class discussions are the most fascinating part in my opinion, because I can discover different
opinions and thoughts from peers who come from other countries and cultures, as well as learn from
the inspiration and knowledge of the professor.”
