Sooo much work. We had a 1600-2000 word essay every other week. These essays were assigned on Thursdays and due on Sunday nights, which meant that we were basically forced to do them on the weekends, which kind of sucked because it meant you can't really go out or do anything on the weekend. The essays required you to draw on the readings, which were super long, so that meant an even heavier workload. On the bright side, all these essays meant no exams, so if you prefer essays to tests, you're in luck.
The class itself, though, was really interesting, so if you're willing to deal with all the work that it requires, then I definitely recommend it, because it really opened my eye to all the stuff China is doing around the world. The professor did a really good job of taking unbiased stances toward controversial issues in order to teach them to us in the best possible way, which I really appreciated.

I really wish I had have taken this Pas/No pass. The professor is great but the TA's ruin your gpa for no reason at all...

I really enjoyed this class! The material is very interesting. However this class was definitely not easy. You can not slack off. Everything on the slides is fair game, the exam can be very nit picky because of that. You just need a general understanding of the readings in order to do well on the short essay section. Pay attention in discussion because discussion summarizes the readings so that it is easier to understand. Overall, I don't regret taking this class as it was very fun and interesting. I feel like I've learned a lot from this class. I also loved my TA as well she was super sweet and was always willing to help.

The class is pretty interesting, but it's quite a lot of work and definitely not easy. There are assignments due every week over readings, as well as section attendance and participation points. The prof will also randomly take attendance in lecture for lecture participation. On top of that there's a group presentation project, AND a final essay, along with two tough exams (midterm and final) with little to no curves. However, Lee gives a lot of opportunities of extra credit (about 5 points) so that helps.

Honestly the TAs were much more helpful in this class. Lee lectures on a ton of information and really means it when she says it's all potentially on the test. Lots of pretty dense slides, but I still managed an A with going to lecture only half the time. It's a doable class... but I stressed out about it a lot.

Professor C.K. Lee really knows and loves this subject. She presents fascinating sociological concepts and equips students with the paradigm to critically analyze and comprehend contemporary China! The workload is manageable and she is inviting during office hours. The material is not easy - so make sure to stay on top of your review and participate in sections!
