Working with Daniel Bell, professor of Sociology, Zhao brought himself up to date by reading, among others, de Tocqueville's classic study, Democracy in America. His curriculum reads like a course of study in The Modern Western World: Bell's own Sociology 102, "Societal Analysis," Stanley Hoffmann's Government 185, "The United States in World Affairs," and Government 148, "American Political Development" with Samuel Huntington.
