Outstanding! Exceptionally well developed and well presented course. The teacher explains complex and oftentimes vague and evasive concepts of Confucianism very clearly and logically. There is a comprehensive coverage of historic, philosophical and cultural aspects of Confucianism and neo-Confucian teachings. It is equivalent to a full academic semester of studies at a university in terms of covered material and quality of graded assignments/project.

Very deep and interesting course, with in deep analisys of original texts, well explored chinese language roots and creative and didatic graphics. This is a beautiful course, above all things.

I loved every minute of this. Really well structured, very interesting and engaging and I genuinely feel I gained a lot. Thank you!

Prof.Chan is so amazing! The course exceeds my expectation. Very high quality content, very well-conducted, very engaging. Prof.Chan seems having fun in telling stories from basic to more complex idea. The English transcript/subtitle is very useful as we may not be familiar with Key concept in Chinese name. I like the final sesson that guests come and share their opinion. If Prof.Chan teaches another course on Lao Tzsu, I will participate for sure :-) Thank you so much for such an amazing learning experience. I enjoy this course a lot.

Pros:

I've read the Analects & the Tao Teh Ching a few years back. This course really enriched my understanding of Chinese philosophy. It is goes very much in depth considering the short time it takes.

Cons:

The lecturer speaks too slowly for me, I had to run the videos at 1.5x

Didn't feel like the interviews in week 4 really added anything new to further the course.

This course is amazing! The teacher is great and the subject is super interesting. I've completed like 20 Coursera courses and I can say that this is one of the best courses of Coursera. Thanks a lot.

It is one of the best courses that I have learned in my life!

Excellent teachings about Confucianism.

Excellent overview!

A great course taught by an extraordinary scholar with an impeccable command of his subject and English that made it stimulating and inspirational. Having been out of school for decades it was demanding ,refreshing and enlightening. My only wish would be that more people would become aware of the potential that Confucianism in its' present incarnation has to offer our realm of existence , we can only hope!

Thank you, Professor Chan

Thorough review of the subject. Some of the interviews are in Chinese with subtitles. Has peer review.
