課程簡介Course Description

This course/seminar shall be a journey to explore How Taiwan became Taiwanese? The whole semester is to be divided into three « rounds »: 1) Taiwan in the Age of Discovery; 2) Taiwan during World Wars; and 3) Taiwan during the Cold War.  At the end of each round, we should conclude with a synthesis-discussion session.  Please note that we will NOT advance further to the contemporary phase of democratic consolidation.

This English-taught course shall be organised in a seminar-like way.  Local and overseas students should team up and approach the island’s past from both insiders’ and outsiders’ views. 

* Nota bene:
This is NOT an English learning class; even “bad” English will be accepted in our classroom.  For those who merely wish to improve their English proficiency or to use this course as an alternative to satisfy any English evaluation procedure, you are NOT expected to pick up this course.  We use English only to facilitate communications and create an intellectual exchange platform between local and overseas students.

    課程目標與學習成效Course Objectives & Learning Outcomes

    By learning history, or different versions of history, one can learn where the contemporary institutions and political différends come from.  Without a constitution in terms of the modern context, how inhabitants of the island organised themselves?  What impact the different colonial rules have left to the society?  We should explore relevant studies and debates and find ourselves some clues and inspirations.

    評量工具與策略、評分標準成效Evaluation Criteria

    I. Course requirements

    Please join the Google Classroom « Political History of Taiwan @NCCU » #pnusguc. No alternative; it is a fundamental requirement.

    Do the pre-class reading:  

    • Each student is expected to effectively do the designated reading & watch the preview video before attending the class session.
    • Each team is supposed to present a reading presentation, by sharing a video (within 20 minutes) via our Google Classroom 24 hours before our class session.  The idea of “preview” is to show your understanding & primary reflections regarding the designated reading and other references relating to it

    Write a collaborative synthesis at the end of each round: During the discussion session at the end of each round, assisted by the instructor, every team should work on a collaborated synthesis based on the designated readings.  This synthesis is “your version” of history.  It must be a solidly composed text of around 1000 words, uploaded within the discussion day to Google Classroom.

    Visit a history museum by team: Anytime during the semester, organise a museum tour with your teammates.  The museum of your choice shall be related to the political history of Taiwan.  Images caught during this tour are to be integrated into your term video.

    Each team should produce a five-minute video on “How Taiwan became Taiwanese?” based on designated readings and your museum tour before the end of the semester.  Instead of a term paper, you are invited to produce a video to summarise what you have learnt from readings, museum tour, and discussions.

    II. Evaluation

    1. Participation: 10%
    Frequency of questions and attendance.

    2. Team works: 60%

    • Collective synthesis work.
    • Reading preview presentation.

    3. Term Video: 30%
    At the end of the semester, each team is required to produce a five-minute video on “How Taiwan became Taiwanese?” by following the guidelines below:

    • Motivate every teammate to effectively contribute to the video scenario drafting.
    • Make sure that the scenario is based on a rigorous literature review, including all designated readings, and well-presented arguments.
    • Discuss with the instructor to make sure that your scenario works before you start working on the video production.
    • Add necessary information to the end credits: teammates’ names, division of labour, references, museum visited.
    • Upload the term video to our Google Classroom before 2nd January 2025.
