HIST185A . 1 Year, 6 Months Ago

Professor Zheng should be a Harvard professor. 2 in-debates and 2 papers that correlate to the debate. weekly forum posts, but its mostly opinion based which makes it easier. The professor is super accessible and clearly loves teaching Chinese history. Powerpoints are extremely unorganized and hard to understand so attending lectures is helpful.

HIST185T . 2 Years Ago

Professor Zheng is truly inspirational and she definitely knows how to teach. I feel lucky to have her as my teacher and I am grateful for everything she has taught me at UCSB.

HIST185B . 2 Years Ago

Professor Zheng is one of the best professors at UCSB. I took her HIST 185B this year. If you take her class, be ready to read 100-200 pages per week and have a quiz every week. The class is hard but also interesting! She is a really good professor and she definitely knows how to teach.Take her class if you have a chance! My favorite prof at ucsb!

HIST185B . 2 Years Ago

Professor Zheng is one of the best professors at UCSB. She is extremely knowledgable about her subject. I learned more in her class than in any of my other classes. Take 185B! Expect to work! Edit: my favorite professor.
