An excellent teacher who inspired me to chose history as a major. He is clear and entertaining in his lectures, very kind and approachable, and goes out of his way to make sure his students know the material.

An excellent teacher. Condenses over 10,000 years of history perfectly. Has me wanting to be a professor!

Every class I went to was interesting because Professor Lee explained History as a story with themes, characters, and with a sense of continuity. The class was cool enough that it influenced me to change majors to History.

Lectures are kinda dull...but the info he gives in lectures is exactly what's on the tests. Really nice guy who goes out of his way to make sure his students understand the material.

Prof Lee is so far handsdown the best ****in western civilization history Prof i have ever had...makes u want to be one!

He uses a lot of visuals to keep students from falling asleep (even though some do still). He's really helpful and seems to care a lot about students doing well in his class. I enjoyed his class. He's clear with his lecture, although he speaks quickly.

he's thorough and good at powerpoint. the topic leaves something to be desired.

great lecturer. uses power point presentations very well and is well spoken. extremely helpful and approachable. gives good paper topics, and tests are fair but need preparation.

i loved 4a with prof lee so chose to take this. so amazing he is really caring and genuinely passionate. makes the class really fun. brought us pizza for the final and let us use it as a review session for the essay. beyond reasonable with the amount of work assigned and is really approachable

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.

I am a really slow reader, so I struggled a lot in Lee's class, but I learned so much in his class. If you like to read especially about history, then you will enjoy his class a lot. If you just want to satisfy your GE requirement, take some easier class.

Honestly he seems like a really nice guy, he's super passionate about Greek history and that is clearly his passion, but don't take history 2a with him. The lectures are all over the place and aren't organized. He rambles about random stuff that has nothing to do with the papers/assignments. If you get a good TA, they will be helpful tho

Professor Lee was very nice for allowing me to be a remote student for his in-person class. He spends most of the class lecturing to the students, so you need to pay attention. He assigns a bunch of reading from Xenophon's book. Luckily, there is only one book to purchase for this course. All and all, I really enjoyed Prof Lee and his course!

Yeaaaa this class was easy. Professor is a cool dude but the lectures were boring. Read the textbook, you'll be chilling. Don't read, man ya facked! Scored an A on the final without doing a lick for studying. Cool guy. Probably would be more interesting in an upper div.

Lectures were pretty interesting, make sure to take notes because theyre important for the final! Essays had fairly easy prompts and my TA provided lots of feedback and graded fine. Allowed 2 pages of notes for the final. This class isnt hard if you put in a little effort.

I loved this class and I love Prof. Lee. His lectures are engaging, expand on topics from the textbook. Not especially necessary to attend, I went cuz I enjoyed. Nice man, replies to emails quickly and kindly. InQuizitives were fun and interactive. Lots of reading. Final was slightly different than how I thought it would be, challenging.

Literally the most horrible and annoying professor i've ever had. The lectures are horrible and boring, and are on random things that do not even correspond to the readings. His final is super hard and based in memorization. Also, your grade depends on how difficult a TA grades 2 essays. Take a different GE

Lectures were tangential but passively interesting, show up and take notes because the lecture material will be important for the final. If you have a good TA, the class is a breeze. If your TA is a tough grader, good luck.

easily the worst class ive ever taken. lee truly expects you to treat his class like your only class. the grade largely depends on two papers (which can be graded harshly by tas) and the final, in which he expects you to have memorized every source from the textbook and lectures (which are scattered and not helpful). PLEASE take any other ge

Professor Lee seems to be way too busy to brother answering your emails, and if you do ever get a hold of him or its to ask a favor or accommodation his ego will write the email for him. In his mind, despite any internet issues or external circumstances students can all find ways to do his essays, so he wont help you out. Also bad lecturer.

I took this course during the pandemic so your experience may vary. But Prof. Lee lectures were uploaded from what seems to be a previous TV special that he did, but they were very well done. The course was difficult in the sense that there was a lot of writing and not much to be graded on meaning reading was necessary. Good course overall.

lectures are super confusing, moves super fast and doesn't have anything written on the powerpoint. lectures are super boring and he assigns lots of readings.

Super interesting course, and Lee is a really nice, caring person. It requires a TON of reading, but overall the material is interesting and its a great class for majors to take.
