The textbook is not very in-depth in comparison to the lectures. His class is purely based on his lectures and I've realized that they're riddled with conjecture and his personal feelings stated as facts and I feel like I need to fact check all of my notes. The class is on Asian History (with a focus on India, China, and Japan) which I'd really like to learn about but I feel like this class is detrimental to learning.
He's referenced the Bible as a relevant text every day so far.
On the sidebar of this Sub-reddit, the third item under the Resources Section is our Book List. There are books for Japan and China in the East Asia section and books for India in the South Asia section.
Am I the only one who's curious about how one references the bible in an Asian history course? OP, some examples would amuse, if you have time.
While its by no means complete but have a look at Khan Academy, I've also heard that MIT had some free stuff they published online. There are lots of little pockets of free stuff floating around.
Well, obviously, you've come to the right place.
I would recommend that you at least Google anything that interests you, or any falsehoods you spot. The people in this thread can point you to relevant books and documentaries, but never allow your Google-fu to wavier, my friend!
Consider joining a study group, or running some of the lecture notes by another professor. Find someone who loves talking about this stuff, and then ask-people love getting the chance to play expert (hence why we're here, ahem-not that there's anything wrong with that).
Unfortunately, when it comes to test time, you're probably going to have to not give him the "right" answer, but "his" answer. I hate it when professors do this, but it can't be helped. You've shown a great initiative by coming here instead of just letting it slide, though.
