Spring 2020 - She sucks. I have never felt the need to write a review about a professor until now, granted this may also be me just procrastinating for her class... but I can't blame myself when her material is this dry and boring. She is robotic and monotonous. She gives very minimal historical context to understanding major events and IR concepts. The actual substance of her lectures lack any sense of cohesion or continuity. It's just really bad. I guess you can consider this class relatively easy if you study the material. She does a poor job at trying to be funny, not that it even matters, but I can't even give her bonus points there. It's just bad. I think she really is trying, however, I consider her delivery extremely disappointing for UCLA.

Fall 2023 - The overall class itself was not bad and the lectures were reasonable and decent. The professor also explained well enough for us to understand and the materials for us to read as well as the assignments given once a week were also doable and not too difficult. The only thing that I disliked during this class was the midterms. The reason was that our grades were deducted here and there and they either gave us vague reasons without proper explanation for the deduction or provided no reasons at all. As over half of the total grades relied on the midterms and final exams, it would be appreciated if the professor provided proper reasons for point deductions. However, overall, the class experience was okay.
