I love Professor Lee. He's so helpful and his class was so interesting. he's also just a gem of a human being. My one complaint is that his lectures and powerpoints are slightly all over the place and I couldn't really follow enough to take thorough notes.

Professor Lee is passionate about history and has the knowledge to back it up. You will likely never leave his class without learning something new. Your grade will likely depend on a few papers, but so long as you have extensive sources and a clear argument, you can do well.

Comment:

Professor Lee's Modern East Asia in Film Class was one of the best classes I have taken at Pace, by far. He is incredibly knowledgeable on the subject matter. The focus of the class was the use of film to critique the political landscape of East Asia during major wars and present day issues. Plus, he is not an incredibly difficult grader.

The greatest professor I have had for any subject. Very interested in students, especially if you show interest in the class. The easiness rating can be misleading--the work may seem easy because it is very enjoyable, but there is a decent amount of it. Gives a lot of freedom in writing--if you struggle creating arguments you may find it difficult.

Such a friendly, enthusiastic professor. Very passionate about what he is teaching and so the lectures / group work are actually very engaging. No textbook, just a few small books you can get online for less than $10-$15 each. The class is super easy, but it is not a blow off because you still learn a lot and it is very interesting! Great class.

An entertaining and lively class! Dr. Lee is willing to offer term paper feedback if you turn it in early. He returns all work promptly and is polite, courteous and helpful. A very generous grader. Show interest in the subject matter and you will not walk away with less than a B+ or A-. In fact, I believe most people in our class got As.

He is the nicest professor I've ever had at Pace. We watched great movies every class day. There are 3 film critiques and one 5-6 page research paper. He is an easy grader if you put in effort to get the grade. This is my second time taking a class with him and I plan on taking more with him. He is a must take for anyone that needs a history class.

2 short critiques (3 pages) on the books he assigns. 1 research paper(5 pages). Papers are easy he doesn't grade hard. Pretty straightforward class. Go in listen to him talk. No midterm or final. It was pretty damn easy class. Would definitely take him again even if its a 9AM class. It was damn worth it.
