Fall 2023 - Professor Lee was manageable but not the easiest Professor to take. Your grade is based on a small quiz at the end of each class (which are easy to miss and close at midnight but also very easy), the midterm, and the final. For this quarter the midterm and final were in person and no notes. Two prompts are given one week before and then she chooses one the day of. If you are able to memorize and cite at least 8 sources but name, you should be able to get an 80% or above. She isn’t too harsh of a grader. Lectures could seem boring at times but she is very impressive and education as a Professor. This class was honestly pretty stressful at times because she didn’t update the midterm or final grade til Winter Break. Although she doesn’t take attendance, you do have to go everyday in order to take the quizzes. I would say she’s a 8/10 easiness, workload is a 2/10 regularly but once midterms or finals come around and you need to prep I would say the stress level is 9/10. If you have a good work ethic an A is definitely manageable in this class.
