Lim did not properly balance the class' work load as there was copious amounts of work to be completed in an unrealistic time frame. I would not recommend Lim to a friend as her expectations are unrealistic, her lectures are very unclear (she has a heavy accent), and she is a very tough grader considering the amount of work she assigns!

I don't know what most people are giving her bad ratings for. Her class goes into extreme depth which she takes apart every minority lit book down to its finest diction. Her breakdown of the class was tedious at times but overall I was enthralled to learn and she is very much will to assist you with your writing improvement.

Such a dumb class, can't say I learned one thing, midterm is IDs, final is a couple essays. 1 8ish page essay. all asian readings, analyzed Harold and Kumar- just exceptionally ridiculous... easy A tho, and gets a minority and lit requirement

I do not know why her rating is so high. She is by far the worst professor at UCSB. The course she teaches is English 50 MINORITY literature, but she only teaches Asian American books. Not only that, but it tries to be more of an asian american studies than a literature class. I'm half-asian myself and I felt uncomfortable in her class.

This class and its material is absolutely useless. I regret taking it, and I despise UC for forcing me to take an ethnicity GE.

The class wasn't too horrible. Definitely boring at times but worth it to attend lecture because Shirley gives out hints of what will be on exams. Lecture slides don't make sense and are not helpful. Midterm easy, final is three essays in the time allotted; one research paper. If you take it get Shanna Salinas as your TA (SUPER helpful!).
