The course is international relations, if you are like me and taking it as a required part of the degree, hes not a bad option. If your really into the subject matter like a friend of mine in the class is; he is THE guy for you to take.

Comment:

One of the best professors I have ever taken. He is simply a genius, and the class structure was perfect. Speaking up in class and writing well are really all that is required to get a good grade. Although not a requirement, attendance seemed important because for each session, the sheet was being passed around for people to sign up.

Comment:

Is an extremely smart professor and will help you when you need it. Does straight forward old school lecturing with an overhead projector and one sheet of some simple bullet points on that day's discussion. Sets up days for class to have discussions/debates which attendance is required. Only other grades are 12-15 page paper and final.

Comment:

Moderately challenging course. The subject matter and lectures can be daunting at first but Dr. Wan does not require you to master East Asian economics. The exams are not very difficult as long as you dedicate a few hours of studying before hand. He also assigns a 12 page paper but I would recommend the course if you have an interest in the subject

Comment:

One of the few professors at the graduate level that actually listens to the students. Very intelligent and knowledgeable, I loved this class. Learned more from him in one semester then I did in three semesters from half the department. Definitely be prepared to work though! No slacking in these classes!

Comment:

Professor Wan isn't too bad. He speaks very quickly, but emails outlines every week for every class. Study guides give an excellent idea of what will be on the tests, Term paper isn't hard if you can relate several ideas or pique his interest... just stay away from asiatic economics, that's his specialty

Comment:

Prof. Ming is extremely knowledgeable in the feild and passes that on in his lectures. Class lectures are very intelectual, yet, be ready for a quirky aside about anything from Yoa Ming throwing elbows to the apparent lunacy of the Chinese gov. Great class! Great Prof!
