The professor and the archival materials such as photographs are very engaging. The historical periods studied are fascinating, and well-suited to a short course.

I learn so many things I didn't even imagine. Thank you so much!

Its been an eye opening experience.

Excellent course. Complete and very interresting. Objective.

Fascinating thoughtful look into Chinese interactions.

Excellent peer assessments if you pay attention to what is told you about the focus.

Only drawback, for me, was no downloadable txt [when took course].

One of the best courses I have taken on Cousera. Very good instructor. It was more work than some of the courses I have taken because of the number of peer assessments, but I have really enjoyed it. I would be interested in taking other courses from Nanjing University and/or this instructor.

Learned much. Instructor was well organized. Subtitles were extremely beneficial.

The subject matter of this course was new for me and was very interesting. I appreciate Professor Xin Xu and Nanjing University for providing this learning opportunity.

Thank you

EXcelente curso, muy bien documentado, muy buen profesor. :-)

A really lovely course; good pacing, fantastic presentation. Lovingly crafted.

A story of perseverance, courage and respect among nations, a thank the Chinese people for sharing an unknown history.

This was a wonderful course and so informative. It helps me advocate for the Kaifeng Jews with American elected officials and informed my advocacy. I have so enjoyed the course and have bought a book by the Professor.

Thanks!waiting for my Certificate!

Excellent class with good use of photographs and video. The professor was clear and interesting. Content was fascinating.

I am thoroughly enjoying this course and I've learned so much! I had no idea that there were Jews in China and that so many fled there as a result of persecution in other countries. This has opened my eyes to a subject I knew nothing about and I love learning!!

This was a great course. I was a History major in college, but the information that I learned in this course was a complete surprise to me.

通过学习这一课程，我对散居中国的犹太人有了更深刻的认识，满足了我对犹太人研究的兴趣。非常感谢徐老师的精彩讲解！

Very informative, taught with great pictures and at a good pace.

Very interesting subject. I have learned a lot of interesting history of the Jewish people.

THE COURSE IS EXTREMELY INTERESTING AND VERY CLEARLY PRESENTED.

IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE PROFESSOR IS PASSIONATE ABOUT THE SUBJECT.

I AM LEARNING A LOT AND GRATEFUL FOR THE INFORMATION

JUDI TURNER

Very interesting subject! Although I would also like to learn about this subject in relation to

I thought this was a very interesting course on a topic I knew nothing about. Apart from the history of the Jews in China I learnt a great deal about China in the 19th and 20th century.

My only criticism of the course was the very confusing rubric for peer marking the assignments. The criteria were very specific and , in my view, didn't necessarily reflect the subject of the essay.

Excellent

I learned a lot in this course and highly recommend it. I lived in Tianjin for over four years and often passed the old Synagogue and wondered about its history. The videos in this series are well done and the information is just enough to be eye opening and engaging without being burdensome. I also learned quite a bit from the other participants in the course.

This course was unique in several ways. It covers a subject from WWII and Jewish history that is largely overlooked. The lectures were interspersed with video that added a unique flavor. The students seem to come from a variety of countries. As a student, some of the lecture material was difficult to understand, though presented in English; subtitles helped. If there is a complaint of deficiency, it is the lack of support, feedback, or availability of staff on comment boards. I encountered a problem due to a mis-counting of the peer reviews completed, and a delay in my grade, so finally gave up and kept doing peer reviews until it showed as complete. The peer reviews on my own assignments were delayed. I think 4 peer reviews is too much, whether from low enrollment, language barrier or other issue. But I learned much, and this added to my current study of the role of China in WWII.
