Professor Lee clearly cares about his students and caters the class to help students better understand the material. He is very helpful in answering questions in class and in office hours. Lots of reading and group discussions of primary sources, but nothing crazy for an upper division class. All of the reading is useful/relevant to the class.

He obviously loves and has a passion for history. HOWEVER when it comes to preparing for tests, as a student I felt kind of lost. All I had to my disposal was the notes I took in class that were kind of all over, and it was hard to tell what stuff I needed to know and what was filler. The comic books had the same problem. No guide on what I needed.

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
