Lovely Course on Chinese Culture, Tradition, and Values. Well-presented and wonderfully put to appeal to the audience readers. Recommended to anyone who is interested in knowing Chinese culture.

Fascinating topic, especially Chinese painting. The videos were enjoyable and instructive and the quizzes were tricky but not overly difficult. Glad I took the course. I learned a lot.

A good introduction. A followup course with more depth would be useful

I could recommend this course to everyone who would like to gain basic knowledge of Chinese Culture. However, I do think this course could have been more polished. Firstly, is that the videos can go through a topic too quickly. My recommendation would be for them to add a separate visual document. This visual document could support learning and understanding the new information. Secondly, the subtitles often have mistakes, creating confusion with new terms. Finally, the problem is that certain content is missing. An example of this is that the Qingming festival is missing in week 6.

This course is a great introduction to the Chinese culture, but if you're looking for an in-depth course you may be disappointed. The videos are very short and there were some problems with the quiz questions, but overall I enjoyed the course and would recommend it to people who have no prior knowledge of the Chinese culture.

The comparaison between Chinese and Western Culture was really useful. It was a nice overview but it would also have been interesting to get information (at least some ints) about the long and fascinating Chinese History. More historical context would be appreciated.

The lectures are short and the teachers are kind of boring , but the Laoshi from the traditional clothes was awesome, I liked how she explained her class with such passion, I learned cool things from her.

The content is informative, but they don't let you show audit completion. Course completion, even for audit only, requires paying. The only option is to unenroll or pay to complete.

alguns problemas nas avaliações, consideram erradas mesmo após tentarmos todas as opções. Fora isso, o conteúdo é bom e dá uma boa ideia geral da cultura chinesa

Extremely lightweight and totally missing in substance; I cannot recall whether they stated so in the course goals.

Thanks to the University of Nanjing and Coursera for this very interesting course. It addressed my interests. Some suggestions for improvements: the accompanying English script does not match the audio (there are a lot of errors) and in some cases the music volume was too high (so could not hear the speaker very clearly) and some of the question/answer options were imprecise. If these could be fixed I would score it much higher. Thank you.

Some interesting information but overall very random topics, not enough detail and poor testing sections.

The teachers seem to be poorly prepared to teach the class. I get the impression they don't understand the concepts they are trying to teach. As far as the quizzes go, the quiz on Rituals, answer 2 seems to be marked wrong no matter what answer one chooses. The same goes for the quiz on Tao, again all 3 answers for question 2 are wrong.
