EACS4B . 1 Year, 8 Months Ago

Prof Fruhstuck's lectures are average. She doesn't add much words to her slides so be prepared to listen to everything she has to say. The readings she assigns weren't that boring but she assigns so much that it stacks onto the Chinese readings and it can get hard to be on track. If thinking of taking 4b for a GE, don't.

EACS4B . 1 Year, 9 Months Ago

Being a research assistant w/ Prof. for a term as a freshman, the project was very interesting and reasonably easy given consideration to my class level, prof was a little busy some days but super accessible and friendly, and willing to help. She wrote me an (I think strong) recommendation for transfer. Really appreciate such an opportunity!

Prof Fruhstuck is responsible for the Japan part of the course, and her lectures are awful, extremely unclear, and it is really difficult to follow. The content she chose to lecture on are not interesting, and her slides are unclear.

She might be a nice person, but this class was awful. The grading rubric for papers was not clear and she expect you to analyze things very thoroughly in 500-word essays. You must answer or ask questions every single class to earn participation/attendance grades, which was not mentioned in the syllabus at all.

Fruhstuck is a very kind and openminded person, and she's very accommodating. This course consists of mandatory attendance & participation in discussion, leading a discussion, and a final essay (500 words).Lots of reading! I am very introverted and this class helped me get out of my comfort zone in a good way. Do the work and you'll be fine.

EACS4B . 4 Years Ago

This class is AWFUL. No matter what DO NOT take EACS4B with this professor. There are weekly responses, forum discussions, and notes. Notes are GRADED weekly and points are taken off if you do not write what is expected, but also not allowed to write verbatim. 100pg+ of readings weekly. It is way too much busywork. Lectures are extremely dry
