about resources

There are really many kind of resources which I can find in China. But the class hours are limited, so how to select the proper resources is more important. In Shandong University, there have at least three human rights education courses which I teach and participate all. There have two human rights education courses in Law School, one is for undergraduate students, and another is for graduate students. The third human rights courses is for students who are from other departments. These three courses have different motives. Students in different courses also have different knowledge background and have different needs in human rights education.
Another importand thing is that, till now, most of the resoures which is proper to choose for some specific topics human rights teaching are in English, so sometimes it is a bit difficult for students to use such resources.
