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

you write two essays based on the required readings. you need to do the readings to pass this class. it is fairly doable. i loved this class because i had such a helpful t.a. the midterm and final are based on lecture. essays are based on readings.

Organized lecture slides, but hard to understand some of the connections made in lecture. She lectures quietly and the TA I had was new so he wasn't helpful. Only take if you're super interested and will pay attention in class. Never used textbook. In class midterm and final; ID's and essay prompts. Heavy memorization.

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.
