Modern Chinese History

2012-01-08T05:39:37Z

46.115.20.92: Moved here

= Foreword =
The book in hand is in many respects unique: It has been written by the students attending a course on Modern Chinese History at Utah Valley University in Fall 2011. Using a Wikipedia writing tool, the students picked historical figures and wrote chapters on them using the I-perspective. Fellow students peer reviewed the articles and helped them to improve.
I thank all authors, who made this venture come true: Licia = [[Qianlong]], Alexis = [[Cixi]], Kendra = [[Kang Youwei]], Talya = [[Liang Qichao]], Thomas = [[Sun Yat-sen]], Juan = [[Mao Zedong]], Gavin = [[Deng Xiaoping]], Jessica = [[Chiang kai-shek|Chiang Kai-shek]], Trevor = [[Xi Jinping]]. The links are their alias used for the summaries of secondary sources. Following the links, you can find a description of the historical figures they chose as their alias.
We tried in our class to make history become alive again, applying a learner-centred approach. We hope, the readers enjoy the outcome of this team work.
