Spring 2017 - Bellette is such an engaging professor. She takes the time to teach you the material and engage you in an actual discussion. I was initially nervous about the participation component of this grade but Bellette makes everyone feel welcome. The course had a group project component that was annoying at times because of the collective action problems, but she made it clear that if anyone was having difficulties with their group they could speak to her in confidence and it was really nice to have a professor that willing to listen to our concerns and work with us to make us have as good of an experience as possible in her class. Take this class!

Fall 2023 - Professor Lee was manageable but not the easiest Professor to take. Your grade is based on a small quiz at the end of each class (which are easy to miss and close at midnight but also very easy), the midterm, and the final. For this quarter the midterm and final were in person and no notes. Two prompts are given one week before and then she chooses one the day of. If you are able to memorize and cite at least 8 sources but name, you should be able to get an 80% or above. She isn’t too harsh of a grader. Lectures could seem boring at times but she is very impressive and education as a Professor. This class was honestly pretty stressful at times because she didn’t update the midterm or final grade til Winter Break. Although she doesn’t take attendance, you do have to go everyday in order to take the quizzes. I would say she’s a 8/10 easiness, workload is a 2/10 regularly but once midterms or finals come around and you need to prep I would say the stress level is 9/10. If you have a good work ethic an A is definitely manageable in this class.

Winter 2024 - Best professor I've had a UCLA so far. Extremely engaging and thoughtful lectures. She is very sure to make sure everyone understands the concepts she is teaching and encourages discussion throughout the lectures. Very fair grader as well. Class is set up for you to succeed, you just have to understand the concepts discussed for the midterm and final, which are both in-class essays. Highly recommend this class and professor.

Fall 2019 - This is not a very tough course, and the professor is very friendly and easy-going. The grading mainly distributes on the research paper, attendance, participation, and quizzes. It is important to attend lectures because that is where you get your attendance and participation points. Lectures and reading materials will help you in preparing quizzes. The professor is very inclusive in terms of the research paper topics, as long as it is related to Chinese politics and the environment. You can always discuss with the professor about the research paper, she is very responsive, and she gives very useful feedback to help you boost your grade.
