Thoughts—read before class, revisit for tests

Spring 2013 students (for in-class exercise, graded): GoogleDrive link: here (or, worst case, download from bSpace "Song exercise") If you need to submit rather than working directly on the drive, use as your subject line: EA109_LASTNAME_classname songexer2013.

Required—to be completed for today's session

✓ Huizong History (Ebrey, 2006) [bSpace, PDF]
✓ Sen on Cai and Huizong [bSpace, PDF]
✓ Cai and Huizong further notes [bSpace, PDF]
✓ Partial trans. Huizong treatise [bSpace, PDF]
✓ Song dynasty tea-related poems [bSpace, PPT]

✓ Song notes [bSpace, PDF] *You are invited to print this out before class and use it as a base document for note-taking. Please check back, however, to see if a new version was published just before or perhaps after the session (but in time for a test). — These notes cover the several sessions. Compare the topics stated on this session page with the actual progress in class to get a sense for how much to read ahead of time and/or printe out to bring to class. (Printing out all the notes once at the beginning might not be the best option since there is a likelihood that they will be updated as I prepare or complete lectures. The Song lecture support notes are less complete than most other support notes.

Links to each session page

Sun, Sept 1, 2013: I am migrating this site to a new site. It takes time. During this transition, there are two ways to access a particular day's web page. You can start with the new EA109 Fall 2013 Course Guide page, our official top page. It will take you directly to the new pages and redirect to old pages when necessary. Or you can use the below chart. It will take you directly to the day's session page—the new one when it exists, the old one when it has yet to be migrated. Greenhighlight means the new page exists. Sorry for the dust and mess during construction!
