Currently enrolled in my third course with professor Lien. I've gone regularly to her office hours and she is amazing!! She can relate through her many identities and will do whatever she can to help you pass her class as long as you're willing to put the work in.

Prof. knows the topic, but doesn't know how to teach it. Learned everything from the book and TAs. Attendance not mandatory thankfully because lectures were long and uninformative. Study guides provided for midterm & final give you all info you need to know. Know everything on the study guides and you'll get 100%. TAs were helpful

She's a really sweet lady and she put a lot of effort into the class, but ultimately, she really sucked at teaching it. She's not quite suited for a big lecture hall (she's probably better for like, a smaller class) and sometimes she gets flustered.

Friendly professor but doesn't do the topic of minority politics justice. Assigns 2 papers requiring no creativecritical thinking. Tests are multiple choice, truefalse, and ID's. They don't test your real knowledge on the subject of minority politics, but rather test your knowledge of definitions. Lectures are boring and hard to follow. Iclickers

Easy class, just do the reading. Lien is a sweet and ernest lecturer but she can go a little slow and struggles a lot with the iclicker. Her accent can be a little difficult to hear through sometimes.

She focuses heavily on memorization on the midterms and final and the list of terms to memorize is very large. Not an easy class and not really interesting.
