very nice guy, GET SAM FOR YOUR TA, class is very chill but go to class. midterm is super easy, paper is easy if you listen to what your TA says, and you get a full piece of paper for the final. there are a lot of books you have to buy which sucks but its easy to find online PDFs

Professor Lee is an expert in Mediterranean history, making this topic quite fun. He likes to have fun in class, and lectures are usually not dull due to his personality. No electronics, handwritten notes only that you must submit at the end of the week so you have to go to class. lots of readings. midterm, paper, and final. final is open note.

Not a history person but Prof Lee makes everything feel interesting. Slides are posted but most of info comes from actual lecture, attendance is important to understanding the class. Section attendance is mandatory. There's one paper but it's only 1250-1500 words. Cheat sheet allowed on the final was very helpful. He wants you to succeed! Fun class

For what supposedly is an easy class, this was the hardest I've worked for a GE grade. Covers too much content at a fast pace. You have to memorize a ton of locations for the final, often mentioned once or twice in lecture ever. You also have to read 2 books and a very expensive course reader. Very long final with broad essay questions.

very weirdly structured class. makes you buy a reader he could've easily made a PDF so that it was accesible to everyone. assigned seating during lecture. wouldn't reccomend unless you're ready to read a lot. also, doesn't allow a cheat sheet on the midterm like so many past comments. not that great of a professor overall.

This class is an easy grade if you want to take it for general education. I took his class in my fall quarter, the test was easy. He gives you study guides and allows a cheat-cheat. There was one mid-term, one final, and two papers that were due over the course. Take this course if you want an easy A!
