His lectures are interesting and fun. Attendance is not required, but if you don't go you will not be able to pass your exams. You have to write two papers, so all you have to do is uses your notes and you will get an easy A!!!!

This was probably the most interesting class I ever took. Awesome professor, extremely knowledgable and 1 of the few that actually know how to teach and make the material interesting. Great teaching style. Highly recommended. Go to class, take good notes and you can't go wrong.

Wonderful professor..very funny & amusing (in my opinion). if you show up to class and listen, take good notes, there's no reason why anyone should get a bad grade. be sure your notes make sense, and u should get an A.

Comment:
If your intention is to compose a doctoral thesis on Asian History, study solely from the book and ignore his lecture (bc his notes are a waste of time), or would like to devote all your time away from your major and focus on fulfilling his reqirements, then by all means, take him! Otherwise, run!!

definitely knows what he is talking about...is willing to help you if you dont understand something...take home midterm and final...exam is easy if you come to class and take good notes...just copy your notes into the paper and you'll get an easy A....sometimes the book is helpful.

This professor is awesome. He is very very knowledgable on Chinese and Japanese History. He is also hilarious. He talks sort of fast but if you have any questions he will clear things up for you.

This guy is a fraud. He asks you what year you are in and bases your grade off that. Whatever you do, do not tell him you are a freshman because if you do, no matter how good your work is you will get a bad grade. Tell him you're a senior, trust me.

He cares for what he teaches, and YOU DO have to do your work in this class. But, he's really great. If you want to really learn Asian history, take him.

This class is not about him helping you learn. It's more about him showing off how much he knows! He teaches Asian studies using french terms, he gets his culture mixed up. In my opinion, the work required is at a graduate level for an into. course.

He is an exceptional teacher with an adept knowledge of this subject...ignore all the comments about how hard he is because it was written by either a person who didnt want to do any work or someone totally incompetent...

He has a sincere love for the topic taught. While there is no homework or tests, his takehome midterm and finals are quite difficult to dissect and do good on. I was amazed by his knowledge though and would recomend him to anyone.

This Professor is no joke. He teaches the class at a doctorate level. He uses very big words to make you feel stupid. He gives very hard take home midterm and final exams that are roughly 6 - 10 pages long! He tells you it's easy, but not at all easy.
