Very tough grader on papers. Her feedback can be strict and made me feel like I new nothing. Lectures are long and dont really help understanding. Nothing is chronological its all over the place. Shes generally nice in person.

I loved this class, taking her again next semester. Do not take it as a blow off, you do have to put effort into it. If you enjoy Japanese history at all, you will enjoy her lectures - she keeps them engaging and interesting. There are books to read but they are not long or difficult reads. Essays get good grades as long as you put effort into them

Comment:
Unless you are dedicating your college career to Asian studies, steer clear of this course; much more difficult than a 1000-level course should be; tough grader; very specific quizzes; harsh grader on essay exams; can be somewhat condescending in her remarks on assignments; would never take her again.

Learned a lot in this class, but the juice probably wasn't worth the squeeze. She is a hard grader on papers. Not even sure why I didn't get an A in my class participation as I read the materials and contributed significantly to class discussion with quality remarks.

Same as the others. Tough, but worth it. Don't bother unless you 1) have a sincere interest in the subject and 2) are willing to work your *ss off.

Comment:
She is really hard for an entry level class. I think I read 5 books in there and she lectured every day about 2-3 pages front and back. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO WORK! If you are interested in East Asian history then you might like it though.
