Took this class my first quarter at UCSB, and to this date it's still my favorite class I've taken here. The course contents are interesting, but Prof. Chua is absolutely incredible and I truly think the way she presented the material is what made it such an amazing class. Do all the readings and you'll do well.

Super engaging lectures. Allowed handwritten notes on tests, which had minimal MC and longer essay questions. Grade determined by midterm, final, and paper (which is four pages, not long). Readings were long but worth it to do them, but you can skip two or three. Didn't know what global was before this class but really ended up loving it

She is clearly very passionate about global studies and shes an amazing lecturer. She is also very funny and entertaining, so I enjoyed attending lectures. For this class there was a lot of reading and I found that you must do the reading in order to do well on the midterm and final!!

She (& this class) is INCREDIBLE! Lots of dense & interesting reading, but she's very understanding and cares about our well being. If you do the readings & minimal studying, I think it's fairly easy to do well on the exams; the writing section is pretty heavy, but nothing crazy if you've prepped. I learned so much in this class & highly recommend!

I have such deep respect for Professor Chua. Her lectures are amazing. This was not an easy class. Most of your grade is a midterm, paper, final and participation matters. But I found her presentations fascinating and felt inspired to understand what I can do to make the world better. I will def take more Global classes and hope to get her again.

Such an amazing lecturer and speaker. She really is knowledgeable about her field and makes lectures really interesting/engaging. There's a good amount of reading per week, but most of them are interesting. It's not an easy A class but one of the most interesting classes I've ever taken.
