However, critics are questioning why a course, led by a campus club, can offer students credits. In fact, the course has no teacher but offers open discussions. In other words, it isn’t a traditional academic course; instead, it is defined as an extracurricular course by Tianjin University. Despite these frivolous issues, one question needs to be asked: how important is the course to the current Chinese undergraduates, and should other […]
