This was one of my favorite classes, easy A for the ethnicity req. Prof Park is so knowledgeable and involved, lectures were fascinating & really opened up my thinking. Weekly assignments are easy but the readings themselves can be super long, plus 2 exams (not bad) & a final creative project that I really enjoyed. Depth of material was incredible.

The lectures feel very dense and taking notes from them can get tiring, but if you pay really good attention in section, you'll get everything you need from there. The three exams are take-home, and you have an entire weekend to do them. Easy way to fulfill the ETH requirement

Professor Park is really funny and her lectures are actually amazing if you're looking to gain real insight on Asian American history. Although I knew about some of the topics on her syllabus prior this class, I gained a much deeper understanding and I find myself reflecting and applying what I've learned on a daily basis. Overall really easy A too

This is an easy class if you are looking for a GE course. She gave you the possible questions that will be on the exam and as long as you read, you will definitely get a good grade. She also gives out extra credits and candies on Halloween. Her lecture slides do not give much about what will be on the test. It is more about the readings.

Her lectures are interesting but sometimes the concepts that she is trying to lecture about is hard to understand, so find someone smarter than you to re-explain it and study with. Not too much active thinking in this class. Books are boring and difficult to read. Tests were definitely doable.

Basically what everyone else said here is true. However, for the last midterm, the questions are NOT from the study guide so make sure you read the last assigned book.
