i loved 4a with prof lee so chose to take this. so amazing he is really caring and genuinely passionate. makes the class really fun. brought us pizza for the final and let us use it as a review session for the essay. beyond reasonable with the amount of work assigned and is really approachable

Professor Lee clearly cares about his students and caters the class to help students better understand the material. He is very helpful in answering questions in class and in office hours. Lots of reading and group discussions of primary sources, but nothing crazy for an upper division class. All of the reading is useful/relevant to the class.

I took this course during the pandemic so your experience may vary. But Prof. Lee lectures were uploaded from what seems to be a previous TV special that he did, but they were very well done. The course was difficult in the sense that there was a lot of writing and not much to be graded on meaning reading was necessary. Good course overall.

Super interesting course, and Lee is a really nice, caring person. It requires a TON of reading, but overall the material is interesting and its a great class for majors to take.

Professor Lee is awesome, definitely my favorite professor I have had. He cares so much about his students and is an awesome guy. Very fair grader, do the work and you will do well in his class. Usually lets you have either a sheet of notes for tests, or changes things up to make it more student-friendly.

Prof Lee has by far been one of the coolest teachers at UCSB i've taken. He cares about the subject and about every student understanding the course. He has video lectures you watch at home and then spends all class going in depth on them. Low stakes quizzes every class and discussion for your participation grade, a research paper and a final.
