Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The goal of this course is to provide a concise overview of the history of East Asia (mainly China, Japan, and Korea) from its beginnings until present time. A focus will be on the period from the 19th century onward. Students understand the major trajectories of East Asia’s history, the foundations of the region’s culture and society, and the various forms of interaction and interdependence that emerged over time and form the background for current events in economics, politics, and society in general. Most events will only be touched superficially. The focus is on providing a broad overview, the “big picture”, connections between the histories of the said East Asian countries, and suggestions for deepening your knowledge through further reading.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
This is a text-based course. Accordingly, in preparation of each unit, students will be asked to read related book chapters (all from the same book, which is available in three copies in our library) to be prepared for active listening and discussion. During the classes, the instructor will outline the main components of the related texts and provide additional information. Expect reading about 40 pages per week on average.
To adjust the workload in accordance with the allocated ECTS points, we will occasionally skip single units and allot this time to readings and exam preparation; see the class schedule (separate document).

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
(1) Students’ participation is important because not all information can be found in the PPTs or in the Holcombe book. Regular participation is thus mandatory. The following rules apply: The grade for attendance is “1” in the case of up to three absences. If you are absent for up to 4 times, the grade will be “2”. If you are absent for up to 5 times, the grade will “3”, and so forth.
Please note: To ensure a smooth proceeding of the course, please be on time. Students who are late by more than 10 minutes will not be able to sign the attendance list.(2) Students are required to write two multiple-choice tests (for dates see class schedule). The questions in these tests were developed based on the readings that were due up to the day of the test. For the final test, only texts that were due after the mid-term exam are considered.
The final grade for the course will be calculated as follows:
Attendance: 10%
Mid-term exam: 45%
Final exam: 45%
Please note: This is not a lecture course (“Vorlesung”). Exams will thus not be repeated. Please make sure that you can participate. If you already know that this will not be possible, you should not register for this course. If you miss an exam, for whatever reason, you will be graded “5” for that exam. Please consider this when enrolling for this course.
