    HIST184T . 2 Months Ago

    If you are interested in Chinese history, I highly recommend you to take Professor Zuo's class. The quizzes in class are very simple and have only two multiple-choice questions. The group project is to arrange a small debate with your group members (actually more like a small performance). The final is a paper to be written at home.

    HIST184M . 3 Months Ago

    One of the best classes I have taken at UCSB! If you show up to class, you will do well.

    She is very passionate about the subject. Easy course, make sure to do the readings though.

    HIST184R . 2 Years Ago

    Prof. Zuo genuinely cares for her students and gives so many opportunities to correct any assignments submitted improperly. Super easy grader but definitely block out a decent chunk of time to do readings if you're in one of her upper div classes.

    HIST2B . 2 Years Ago

    Super easy class. Barely went to lecture, midterms and final are two 500 work take home essays each.
