Professor Min is honestly amazing. His class is pretty simple, midterm and final and one analysis paper. The paper was structured in a way where there were proposals and outlines due in advance of the paper so when the due date came, I had already completed most of it and had also received feedback on it. He mostly just reads the information straight off the lecture slides which can be annoying in class, but it is helpful come the final as all the information is accessible there and he often will state when things will "definitely be on the exam". Even though he does just read off the slides, his lectures are always engaging and he himself is easily approachable in office hours.

Professor Min is a very engaging, straightforward lecturer. The class itself is not very hard. The grade breakdown is as follows: Discussion Participation 20%, Weekly Quizzes 30%, and one Final Paper worth 50%. Quizzes are online and open notes; you can use lecture slides. The final paper is worth a chunk of your grade and is 4-5 pages. The topic is different every year. My class was on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I have heard that the topics for prior years included the Iran nuclear deal and North Korea nuclear control.

10/10 class. The only "challenging" part of the course is the final paper, but it is totally doable and the TAs are extremely helpful. 100% would recommend.

TAKE THIS CLASS. IT IS AMAZING.

Pol sci 20 with professor min was, hands down, the best class I've taken in my entire life. I thought that his lectures were engaging, hilarious, and very topical the to the online, open note quizzes (they were super easy as long as you take your time). Also, there's little to no work that you need to do outside of paying attention in lecture and showing up to discussion.

In my opinion, there are 4 things that you need in order to do well in this class.
1. Firstly, take great notes in lecture on everything he says
2. Take your time on the take home quizzes because some questions can be tricky (especially the first quiz that one was the hardest imo)
3. It's really important to listen in discussion because that stuff is fair game too
4. MEET WITH YOUR TA ABOUT YOUR PAPER before you submit it if you can because that's the easiest way to lose points in this class

11/10 experience would take again

A super interesting GE and a perfect introduction to the concept of world politics. Every lecture was well-organized, stimulating, and captivating. There are weekly quizzes that are completely based on lectures -- if you simply show up to lecture, you'll ace the quiz.

There is a research paper that makes up 50% of your entire grade. While this seemed daunting, the paper had a cool prompt (the Russia-Ukranian War) and was a relatively easy write. Professor Min even met with me for a 30-minute private meeting to discuss ideas I had for my paper. His feedback was extremely valuable and helped me achieve a good grade on the paper.

Overall, Professor Min is an amazing professor who truly cares about his students. If you are looking for a fun and easy GE, POL SCI 20 is it.

I never go on here to praise a Professor, but Prof Min is an exception. He is by far one of the best professors I have taken here at UCLA. He will literally help you and hear you out with any concerns or ideas of the material without feeling judged, and actually gives you useful advice and clarity. Sign up for office hours before any big deadlines, it helped SO MUCH. The quizzes are really fair and majority of time can be found in the slides (opened book). His lectures were always engaging and full of detail, I'm not a fan of world politics but he made it really interesting and you will learn so much! 10/10!!

TAKE THIS CLASS! I am a sophomore now and I took this my first quarter at UCLA as a GE and I loved it. Honestly, the grading depends on your TA for the paper assignment, but Professor Min is so engaging and you can tell that he really does care about making your experience in this class as enjoyable as possible!
