=Course Design:=
 * China **

China, also called “ Divine land” ( 神州 ) has one of the world’s oldest civilizations lies over a large area in East Asia. Through its history, it was the source of many major inventions, such as the Compass, Gunpowder, Papermaking, and Printing. Historically, China’s cultural sphere has extended across East Asia as a whole, with its religion, customs and writing systems being adopted to varying degrees by its neighbours such as Japan, Korea and Vietnam. It was famous in its silk, its clothing, its china ( Where its name came form) and its tea. In this course we are going to have a visual tour to China to have a taste of China. We are going to visit Beijing ( the Capital City in the middle of China), Shanghai ( a big famous city at the southeast of China, ) Urmuqi ( an old city at the northwest of China) and Kunmin( also named ‘ Spring city ‘ at the Southwest of China. We are going to explore these individual cities under following topics: the people there, the culture there, the clothing there , the food there, the transport there , or any other topics that you are interested in. Our course is divided in three parts: First , we visit our class Wikispace where our teacher and fellow students posted some questions for us for the city we are studying that week,

Second, we do the online search by using the search engine to answer questions around the topic that we choose and we are interested in, and have some idea about it, then edit a Wiki entry for all the relative information that we obtained online. This class Wiki space is for all our classmates. All our classmates are expected to post what we learnt from our research here, we are going to pool all the information we collected about different topics here, and our Wiki space is going to be our resources for our weekly blogs. Third, we pose our weekly reflections on our class Blogs Fourth, there is going to a whole class presentation at the end of the course where you can show what you learnt about China from this course on the PowerPoint.
