Professor Shih-Hao Lu is an Assistant Professor of History at the National Taiwan University (NTU). Known in NTU for his witty and articulate nature, he employed unconventional ways to inspire students to view and analyze Chinese history as a fun and relevant learning experience. Professor Lu launched the very first Chinese history course on Coursera titled "Historical Figures of Ancient China - First Emperor of Qin", which attracted more than 40,000 people to register. This class is currently the top-ranked online Chinese course on Coursera.
Instead of requiring his students to memorize facts and dates in history, Professor Lu encourages students to cultivate reasoning abilities, so that they understand that every historical perspective can be analyzed and assessed using the tools of critical thinking.
History is a study of "time" and "change". Studying history is to inspire one's own wisdom through ancient wisdom. Professor Lu believes that even though knowledge changes over time, our world can be a better place only if individuals learn to adopt collective wisdom from others.作者: CarmenNg 時間: 2016-3-15 21:41
