Engaging classes, many opportunities to discuss material, and she really tries to create a "classroom" environment. It's not just a lecture. Go to class as there are participation "quizzes." Do readings and you will do fine. Midterm, paper, final + some EC. Overall, one of the best professors I've had here. Sad she's leaving.

Pretty good professor and alright introduction to the Global Studies major. The readings were very important, and overall it seemed that she cared very much about her students and the class. This class was more interesting than GLOBL 1, for sure, and all the TA's were fantastic.

SHE IS A DIVa, unfortunately not teaching anymore here in UCSB

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!!
