Quality Education
Through various courses, the endeavor of quality education is to improve students' understanding and awareness of culture and their ability to think independently. Such courses as the History of Chinese Civilization, the History of Western Civilization, and Selected Readings in Literature, are very popular among students. Lectures on art, dance, and music, help to better students' aesthetic taste and ability to appreciate the accomplishments of those fields. Some science courses such as physics, chemistry and biology are available as well in order to supplement students of humanities with more comprehensive abilities. At Renmin University of China, quality education and campus culture supplement each other. A rich and colorful campus life builds
up a good humanistic atmosphere, and helps to develop students' artistic ability and aesthetic taste. This is how the quality education of the humanities and social sciences are carried out. Psychological Research Center at the RUC has organized lectures, training courses, and even contests and debates on mental health. The purpose of these activities is to improve students' mental health and their ability to cope with difficulties under various circumstances. Students thus become more cooperative and adaptive, and attach great importance to teamwork.
