She is a really great teacher. Quite approachable, and very humorous. Her slideshows lectures are informative and are posted on the web. However, one feels compelled to attend her lectures because she adds more to the slideshows by giving insightful information as we are copying down the notes. She also interacts with the class by getting our input. Our midterm was a take-home essay which was quite doable. And she gives us loads of useful stuff to review for our inclass final/essay. On her "bad days," she is still approachable which says a lot for a UCLA teacher. Take her because she is a pretty decent professor.

So boring and monotone that I feel bad for her She loves Japan and always talks about Japan in her lectures Her lectures are required Tons of reading, 100 pages a week every other week you turn in 3 analytic reviews of 3 articles (1 page per article) Pretty easy or my TA was an easy grader Those reviews are your grade, the rest is attendance and participation in lecture Can't skip readings or skim over readings in this class I never listened in lectures, always used it to do other homework because what she says is revelvant to the course but not to the articles Grade: 15% lecture attendance, 25% discussion, 60% homework(analytic reviews)
