This class is an easy grade if you want to take it for general education. I took his class in my fall quarter, the test was easy. He gives you study guides and allows a cheat-cheat. There was one mid-term, one final, and two papers that were due over the course. Take this course if you want an easy A!

Prof. Lee was so interested in the subject that it was difficult not to get excited about it as well. The readings could be hard to get through, but sections were helpful in making sure you got everything you could out of them. Midterm and final had study guides, so you knew exactly how to prepare and we could take a note sheet to the final.

He is enthusiastic about the course material, but lectures could be a bit boring and unorganized. Go to the lectures, take notes, read the readings and you'll be fine. Also you can bring a legal size note sheet to the final which was great.

Overall great guy and good lecturer. Lecture got a bit boring at times but was very informative. Section participation matters. Pretty easy midterm and final. Got to bring legal sized piece of paper with notes for final.

Professor Lee is enthusiastic, caring, and lenient. He is understanding of the situation and would gladly help out within his capabilities; would 10/10 take him again.

The exams are difficult. Reading helps but is not enough. You MUST go to lecture. Professor Lee is an expert. He knows his stuff really well. Impressive how he has all this information in his head and barely anything written on the slides he shows. Information was fascinating.
