Mode and Duration


The classes would be conducted in the form of a three-hour seminar, a mix of lecture, Q and A, discussion and presentation, with a high expectation of a close interaction between students and instructor. Students are expected to undertake responsible self-study. They need to do the weekly required readings and some presentations in classes. Discussion around the readings is a pedagogical norm. Writing a research term paper for each course is also a norm.

All classes will be conducted in English and all written work by students should be submitted in English.

Classes will be conducted on weekdays on Lingnan campus.
