Comment:
Had Lee for intro to cultural anthro and food & culture. He is very lecture heavy, but most of the notes you take in class are taken from the book. He gives one midterm and one final along with a paper each semester (for F&C there was a couple 2 pg summary papers). Overall he is nice and understanding, but can be hard to understand b/c of accent.

Comment:
Your entire grade is based on three tests (including the final) and one term paper. Everything you learn is from a lecture, so missing even one day can really put a dent in your ability to do well on tests. He can also be a little bit difficult to understand at first. The class is fine, but you should be aware how important attendance is before.

Comment:
This class is awful. He lectures for an hour straight and shows videos. The test are hard and there aren't very many of them. There is no graded homework. I do not like his lecture style or anthropology. I would avoid if you are not interest in this major. You can get a diversity requirement somewhere else.

I took culture, nature, and society with Prof Li and it was pretty easy. Took notes every day and when tests came around he'd hand out a study guide. I'd read over my notes maybe once and make sure I was able to answer all the questions on the study guide and got an A- in the class. He's very respectful and enjoys when you participate.

By far Professor Lee is one of the best teachers I've ever had. His class is fun, challenging, and never ever boring! He really cares about teaching and is always helpful to students. His class is well-planned and he teaches in ways that make me really enjoy going to his class... All in all, I would recommend his class to anyone.

Comment:
Lectures drag on forever, talks about the same thing for a while. Portrays his opinions as if they were facts, and occasionally even told the class something that was outright wrong. May or may not respond to e-mails. Test are written very confusingly. Got questions wrong despite knowing subject matter. Takes attendance. Book is not needed. Avoid.

Lectures are long and sometimes he is hard to understand. Tests are multiple choice and include an essay section which is easy to do well on. Dr. Jian also provides a study guide with essential terms before each test. He is very helpful and flexible with students.

Comment:
Very long lectures, he talks about the same thing forever. Way too slow paced of a class. Talks about the same things the book covers; if you need to save money don't by the textbook and just take good class notes. Sometimes talks down to students when they ask a question to clarify. Knows topic, brings in his personal experiences.

He is the worse instructor I have ever had, he will not email back because it is a hassle. Doesn't really understand english and really don't think he knows anything about the powerpoints that he uses!

He sincerely cares about his students and their learning. Doing all he can to help them. He provided examples of all materials presented and was very interesting to listen to. He told us what he expected and there was no tricks on the test. If you study hard, you'll do fine. Lee is a very interesting professor and I have recommended him to others.
