She's a very nice person who cares a lot about her students. Her classes are easy to learn because she makes her lectures so engaging. I don't usually leave ratings about professors, but I find it worth it in this case because of how well she does her job!

Very easy class.

Professor Hom was one of the best professors I had here at UCSB. You can tell how educated she is on this topic by the way she talks, all of her lectures were filled with such great detail. She also had amazing guest lectures, which I really enjoyed. She does take attendance, but I was happy going to class every day!

dont be me and buy the textbook! you literally dont need it except for the first lecture its not worth wasting money. class was a breeze! lots of readings however the most essential ones she will cover in lecture. grades based off attendance, 2 online short quizzes, in-person midterm and final essay. these were very straightforward though. take her

Professor Hom is so nice! I loved her so much and want to take one of her classes again. She grades based on participation, two response papers, a take-home midterm, group project, and a final paper. She's not a tough grader at all. She does take attendance but it's good because a lot of the material is said in lecture. Do not buy the book!!

Easy A but extremely boring lectures based on broad generalizations. Sort of a watered down history class. Papers are easy + don't require you to do the reading. She's lucky that UCSB is on the quarter system bc there's no way she could've squeezed out another few weeks of material. Extremely slow paced but the guest lecturers we had were fantastic
