Only take if you want a reason to crash out. The professor was nice and the topic was interesting, but the TA's were not the best. We had pop quizzes every section and the questions were about specific details from the literature. Readings varied from 30 to 150 pages a week. I did like that we had a movie assignment and the final was a paper.

She is really nice but her lectures were confusing. Attendance was taken via iclicker. She gave 4 pop quizzes, some with questions that were hard to answer even if you attended lecture and read. The TAs all gave quizzes every section as part of our grade. Overall it could have been worse but if you have to take a C Lit class, pick another one.

If you want to try to have a handwritten essay, you can try it. BTW, it's very boring!!!!!! I will never enroll in the professor's class again.

The slides are mostly quotes from the readings, and the summarization of the ideas is superficial. It is hard to grasp the points they want the students to learn after sitting for 1 hour and 15 minutes (I attended most lectures so I am sure to say it.) The rubric for grading on writing assignments is extremely unclear and have no standards.

Damn this class was tough. I'm a stem major with absolutely no Asian background who took this class to fulfill a GE requirement... biggest mistake of my life. However, professor Li was great and her lectures were easy to follow. Don't take this class if you don't need it unless you love reading and/or are particularly interested in East Asia.

prof xiaorong is a good prof, but the class material is so boring. its basically a history class. lots of reading and 5 pop quizzes. theres one paper due at the end of the quarter that was graded SO HARD. no one knew the expectations for it bc it was the only paper assigned so wtf. and the final was super long
