This professor pushes propaganda under fake academic teaching and discriminates heavily against people with opposing political views

Professor Chua is probably THE best professor I've had in my time at UCSB- definitely take 130 with her if you have the chance! Attendance isn't mandatory per se, but there are a handful of pop quizzes given during lecture so it's good to show up. She's so wonderful and makes an effort to get to know all their students even in a large lecture.

Best professor I have ever taken, 10/10. Her lectures are genuinely interesting and teach about the current state of the world. The pp-quizzes are light if you did the readings (and pretty forgiving even if you didn't). Tests are graded harder than the quizzes, but still completely doable. Couldn't recommend Chua enough!

The best professor I have had at UCSB. Recommend so hard.

Prof Chua is a gem. Lectures are engaging, she summarizes the important parts of reading in lecture too so you don't really have to read all that much. Exceptionally organized so it's very unlikely you forget to do something or feel you got screwed out of points. Extremely accommodating as well. Good class. also had her for GLOBL 197. Same there

Engaging classes, many opportunities to discuss material, and she really tries to create a "classroom" environment. It's not just a lecture. Go to class as there are participation "quizzes." Do readings and you will do fine. Midterm, paper, final + some EC. Overall, one of the best professors I've had here. Sad she's leaving.
