I took Professor Liu's China's Borderlands course. I highly recommend this course if you're trying to improve your skimming skills as well as argumentation. The material is relevant to what's happening in China's borderlands today and put a lot of issues into perspective.

This class has a book report (2 page single space) or an assignment where you answer two questions (1 page single space) due every week, with an 8 page double space paper due at the end of the semester. He held no class the last month of the semester. An A is very doable.

Professor Liu is one of the best professors I've had at UVA. He's responsive, knowledgeable, and provides great feedback on his students work. Please go to his office hours if you're in any of his classes!
