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.

Dr. Li is very familiar & enthusiastic about her topic and she's caring to students. Although lectures might be dry this class worth taking if u are really interested in Chinese lit. Exams are based on discussion in lecture & section and they are fair if u do attend. However, if u are not familiar with Chinese culture, u'll have to study for A LOT.

She just wants you do not pass the course. Mandatory attendance for both lectures and sections, half credit if you got the quiz wrong. And even attending those lectures and sections won't help anything, they leave all questions on the powerpoint without any suggestions and answers, and exams require you to read all the readings. Bad class for GE.

She is a really nice professor and very understanding to students' needs. She does really cute things for students and tries her best to engage the class and help students understand the material. That being said, it's her first time teaching this class so some instructions were vague and preparation for midterm could be improved. Reading bit long.

Great teacher! but she does not know how to teach this course (her first time teaching this course). lectures are interesting. However, ppt is boring, need to improve. Grading is not clear, need to pass quizzes to get attendence credits.
