Read one chapter a week, only one short essay at the end, and 10 reading quizzes. Not difficult to pass, but will need to take readings seriously for an A or B.

Prof. Lee wrote me a personal email to say that I should have an A+ in this class and that I should be proud of my accomplishment. That was pretty awesome. You'll have to work for an A, but there are clear instructions. The journal write-ups are about your arguments, and he does not have to agree with you, as long as you are thoughtful. Recommend!

I had no issues with Lee and his class. Textbook is available for free through library. Reading & lecture quizzes are easy. Chapters are short. Personally, one of the best history courses I have taken. I'm a history major.

He let me redo the final because I had computer issues. Short 1 page journals due weekly. 5 question reading quizzes. 50 questions final exam. 2 page final essay. All writing is open ended. Gives us room to make an argument. Make sure you have the textbook. He wrote it... and it covered all important topics for the class.

I took this class in winter session. He was very flexible with due dates and made the class low stress. I appreciated it because I had to work. He is thoughtful of students' needs.

I had a difficult semester and Prof. Lee was very flexible with me on due dates and allowed me to submit all my assignments late. I didn't have to drop the course and ended up getting a solid A in this course. You must read and will have to be thoughtful in your weekly writing, but it is not hard. He provides clear instructions and a grade scale.

This class is organized and he sends out weekly reminders which helped me keep on tasks. He's fast to reply to emails. He provides a lot of instructions for the assignments. Textbooks are required for sure. I recommend his class if you are working full time and need flexibility. He's understanding and flexible on late work.

30% out of 100 to pass. It is an easy pass. I recommend taking for Credit No Credit. Totally easy to pass.

No complaints at all. Terrific online class.

he grades on a big curve and makes you work for an A grade, but getting a C is very easy. get the book, you'll need it if you are serious about working for an A. The class is organized, and the instructions for assignments are very detailed.

I'm an AAS major and I have taken 4 classes with Dr. Lee. I got an A in all of them. There are a lot of short 1 page papers and a lot of extra credit. His assignments are not hard, but def need the textbooks to do them well. I recommend his courses to anyone.

Best professor at SFSU. He helped me get into EOP and medical school.

There is three more weeks to the semester and I just found out I have enough points to skip the final exam. I can use the remaining three weeks to focus on my major classes. This class was great and the professor is flexible with deadlines. He was understanding and allowed me to submit late work each time I asked. The final grade scale is curved.

IMO, Professor Lee is kind and understanding. He helped me a lot this semester and accommodated all my needs. I highly recommend this course.

Best online class designed and easy A course if you read and do your work.

I just found out I do need to take the final exam for this course because I already passed with a C- for Credit. Best easy pass class I have taken. Do your weekly quizzes and journals, and you'll easily pass. I'm taking another one of Mr. Lee's classes next semester. I hope it is the same structure and style.

25% is a C-. Easy pass. Take it for Credit.

Fully online remote class that was flexible. The class was interesting and had great learning material!

This is the best online course I have taken. Mr. Lee is organized and the class is well curated with interesting topics. I highly recommend this class.

Lots of reading, you will have to spend at least 3-4 hours each week on reading. The readings are not hard to comprehend, it just takes time. Also gives short videos to watch. 10 question quiz and discussion each week, pretty simple. Quizzes aren't that difficult as long as you actually read the assigned chapters. Given two attempts per quiz.

I have no complaints about this class or this instructor. I took it for Credit and did not do the final exam because I had enough points to pass with Credit from the weekly quizzes and journals. I highly recommend this class. I'm taking another class with this instructor in spring.

He's very persistent, which I like because every reading/video he had was on point and how he set it up was clean and easy to find. This class was relaxed and had a flexible pace.

The professor did a great job at adding videos and readings that tied in greatly with the topic we learned about in class. The quizzes were also straight to the point and the questions were pulled from the readings which made this process quick and effective.

He is very knowledgeable in all the topics we covered. His book was very well-researched and provided tons of information. From the beginning, the instructor was very clear about the course and how it was structured. The course is consistent each unit/week and the professor provided a detailed email each week regarding the timeline for each.

Without this class, I would not have had access to and been encouraged to read and watch all of this informational content. I would still be living my life with little knowledge of the Asian American experience. This course gave me the information I needed to understand what Asian Americans have experienced.

There is weekly homework. Just follow the assignment instructions and you'll do well. There are no surprises, the unit quizzes were all based on readings. I liked how structured this class was. It helped me stay on top of the assignments. The professor is also relaxed with late work. It gave me time to do my engineering senior project.

This class is not easy, but it is also not hard. There's a big curved on the final grade, so easy to get an A. You'll for sure have to read and follow the instructions on the assignments that includes rubrics on what he's looking for. Just do that and you will be good. I'd take his classes again.

professional gives me a hand clear explanation replies to messages as fast as he could he also invited us to share our ideas every week to discuss our opinions etc. many other reasons why you should absolutely take Prof. Lee's courses

This online class was fantastic! The flexible schedule allowed me to balance work and study without stress. The instructor was clear and supportive, and the assignments were straightforward. The course was well-structured, making it easy to follow and stay on track. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a manageable, quality learning experience!

This online AAS class was incredible! It provided a deep, insightful look into the histories and contributions of diverse cultural groups. The instructor was engaging, and the material was thought-provoking, connecting history to current social issues. I gained a richer understanding of racial justice and identity. Highly recommended! I got an A.

If you read and do the work, this class is an easy A. Prof. Lee was engaging, and the material was thought-provoking and relevant. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning about Asian American history!

I'm going to be honest. I cheated, and he called me into office hours, told me to stop, and gave me a chance to stay in the class instead of failing me. He said I could either stay or withdraw, but I should not cheat because another professor who is not BIPOC would likely seek punishment. I really appreciated him giving me a chance.

Take this class if you need the US history requirement. It is easy. I didn't read, but still got 10s on the quizzes. The final essay was st8 forward. So far, I'm getting an A.

The textbooks are available at the library for free download. This class is reading based, reading is required. Weekly quizzes. Final essay and exam. No surprised. Well organized. I'm taking it because it fits my schedule. He's not a hard as others are saying. They just don't read most likely.

I had a tough time this semester and fell behind, but Prof. Lee allowed me to make up the work. He was very understanding of my situation and showed a lot of flexibility and care. The class is well-organized, and he allowed redos on some assignments. He's a great professor.

I took this class online during Summer session. The professor is very patient and very helpful. He's also cares about his students and you can tell he wants his students to pass. He sends out emails to remind us about about upcoming due dates. I highly recommend his class. I'm graduating this winter.

Things I liked about this class: Well-organized materials Flexibility with assignments Quick email responses and helpfulness Detailed coverage of Asian American history with images Clear explanations of topics, and consideration of students' schedules and perspectives.

I did enjoy the very educated readings and will say I learned stuff but just because I learned stuff doesnt not reflect my grade at all which is why he is very weak in that category.

The professor was open to various perspectives and had an open line of communication. The strengths of this professor were that they were clear with their instructions. The teaching instructor demonstrates good knowledge and understanding of Southeast Asian American perspectives.

I really liked how the expectations of the class were straightforward and the weekly quizzes were accurate to the readings, videos, and lectures. I also liked how the materials for each chapter was easily accessible and in one place. The book can be downloaded for free from the library.

Last semester, I took AAS 585 with Lee, put in a lot of effort, and earned an A. His expectations were clear. This semester, I'm taking AAS 570 with much less effort since I'm focused on my senior engineering project. I'm taking it for credit, which he emphasized is easy to earn from day one.

The diversity of the content is one of Professor Lee's greatest strengths. It's hard to come across a class that has so much diversity. Another few of his strengths are his organized Canvas and structure of his class, constant communication, and explained details of what each week has to offer.

The class was well-organized, with each week focusing on a specific Asian ethnicity, linking their history to the previous week's topic. Though I never needed help, the instructor sent daily reminders and encouraged students to reach out if confused. He highlighted the challenges of the course at the start. The flexible asynchronous format.

Throughout the semester, I appreciated how organized and understanding Prof. Lee was. His daily reminders on each week's assignments were particularly helpful for a busy student like me. As for the material, I found both textbooks written by Prof. Lee to be outstandingly insightful. I am truly pleased with what I was assigned to read every week.

The course was structured in a way where we were learning about different Asian groups each week. This class was very beneficial and gave me a lot of knowledge about other ethnic groups that I have not had the opportunity to learn about. The course is organized and it was easy to find everything we needed on canvas.

I think that this instructor was very involved and wanted his students to succeed . He made sure to be involved and although he did not have to he always reminded us with a really good structure of what we had to do for the week

Organization and broad knowledge on the subjects. I'd also say that he was very willing to allow us to explore the information from our perspectives as well whilst guiding us. He was also very transparent about whatever you need to know for the class.

The specific strength of the instructor was responsive to emails when needed. Each week consisted of something new and was laid out nicely on Canvas, though the work was hefty on top of other classes, asking for extensions was granted through emails.

The professor excelled with his verbal cues, outgoing personality, and attention to detail, showing a deep understanding of each time period. His use of humor and positive energy made the class enjoyable. The interactive discussions were valuable, allowing me to see diverse perspectives and ensuring future students will have a positive experience.

The readings and videos that were assigned were short enough to learn from without losing too much interest, so content was easily digested and fascinating. He also had very good communication with weekly readings/lecture videos, upcoming due dates, and any relevant topics that students could benefit from knowing about.

Professor makes it clear what we have to do, and doesn't assign so much work that it's overwhleming. It's not too difficult to keep up with this class.

I really like how Canvas was set up. It wasn't messy. It makes it easy to see what needed to be done. I also like that how he provided excatly what you need to be successful in this class.

I think this Professor is well-rounded with his knowledge and the videos/readings provided were able to expand on his units very well. The course set up is well organized to provide a very linear view of history and it makes it easier to see how history is connected.

Instructor allowed students to work on their own time, as long as the assignments were done and submitted before the specified time at the end of the week. Since this course was asynchronous, everything was paced by the student and all the needed material was available for a good amount of time before the due dates.

he is flexible and understanding of this student's circumstances. he is very passionate in his teaching and even though it was an asynchronous course I feel like I learned a lot and connected with the material greatly.

He is quite understanding and allowed for redos on certain assignments that caused confusion with me and many people within my class. Assignment instructions were clear and class material was interesting and retianable. He is very nice

He knows the materials that was taught in class well. Gave us good resources to help our analyzing

As a working mom, juggling family and school is a challenge, but this online Asian American history class has been a blessing! The content is insightful and relevant, and the flexible schedule makes it easier to balance with my degree. I feel more connected to my heritage while making progress—highly recommend!

Professor Lee clearly teaches the history of Asians in Amerca, organizing the material chronologically from the distant past to the present. The amount of homework and reading assigned is also quite reasonable.

Professor Lee is a generous and well-rounded professor who balances flexibility and strictness in his expectations. He provides clear, direct feedback on journal entries, helping students improve. Thanks to his guidance, I went from averaging 6-8 out of 10 to earning full marks on every entry.

Professor Jonathan Lee is renowned for his expertise in Asian American Studies. He organized his class the way to write journals and complete quizes based on weekly readings and videos that can improve students's knowledge regarding Asian American cultures and religions.

Very organized Replies fast to emails. I would say that giving his students detailed feedback is one of his specific strengths. Another is being able to provide good readings and videos relevant to the unit lessons because I was able to utilize a lot of them.

I think that this instructor was very involved and wanted his students to succeed . He made sure to be involved and although he did not have to he always reminded us with a really good structure of what we had to do for the week. He is rather knowledgable about this course based on the content of his textbook.

Communication was done very well. Even as an asynchronous course, it felt really easy to stay caught up to what was new. The quizzes were well done as well. The course was really organized and very helpful. There were always weekly reminders to do the homework.

he's very open-minded about parts of the concepts that make me want to explore more about my cultural identity.

He doesn't care if you have other classes. I asked him for an extension because I was busy with my major classes, and he told me to ask the other professors for an extension. I was upset, but after thinking it over, I realized I had been disrespectful. I later found out that he does give extensions if you have a legitimate reason.

I really appreciated the overall structure of the class. While the reading workload is pretty heavy, it's interesting enough that you want to complete the assignments.

Lectures are able to facilitate learning environments that help students to connect and communicate, and form good learning communities that promote knowledge sharing and collaboration.

The journals and essay were easy to do because the instructions are clear. He tells us exactly what he wants us to do in terms of materials use, number of quotes, and page limit. There is no surprises. If you follow the instructions, you will get a good grade. I got 10s in all the journals and 100 in the short essay.

Professor Lee excels in organization and efficiency. The weekly modules are consistently well-structured, and the information is always clear and easy to understand. Overall, Professor Lee is an excellent instructor.

I liked how the professor was able to provide a variety way of learning. From videos, to articles, as well from the textbook itself. I thought it was really helpful for me to be able to learn from different ways. Finally, make sure you know the racial formation theory well. It is the basis of the final exam.

Good structures within the course The examples he provided really helped me understand the material better. A lot of information from books I asked to redo some quizzes and he allowed it He was understanding and accepted my essay late without penalties You don't need to buy the books. they are free to download from the library

Taking this online Asian American history class was transformative! As a Chinese American woman, I learned so much about the resilience and contributions of our community. The course highlighted stories that were often overlooked, making me feel empowered and proud of my heritage. The lessons were insightful, engaging, and inspiring.

I liked that assignments had clear instructions Clearly defined class structure Required great writing and a lot of interesting topics You can download chapters you need from the textbook for free from the library.

This online Asian American history class was an incredible experience! As a student with a learning disability, I was supported every step of the way. The professor was patient, understanding, and made the content accessible. I felt encouraged and confident throughout the course. The material was engaging and eye-opening.

I really liked how the expectations of the class were straightforward and the weekly quizzes were accurate to the readings, videos, and lectures. He maintained a focus on how each group was racialized throughout the term which helps to develop a lens in which we can identify these moments of racialization throughout history

There is honestly nothing that I liked about this instructor he was so strict and excepted not late work regardless of the reason. I once asked him if I could turn in five assignments that I didn't do because I was sick, and he asked me to withdraw the class because I didn't have doctor's note. I didn't go see a doctor.

This could just be personal but it was very heavy on reading some weeks. I'm a weak reader and my reading comprehension isn't the best. Some of the quiz questions were a bit unclear and sometimes confusing. Some of my favorite texts were from his actual book where I felt those were the most engaging and relatable.

The load of assignments are truly heavy. In my opinion, Writing a journal, completing a quiz, and discussion post weekly is very much as students are not taking his class only. As a full time students, I had a hard time to complete his required assignments weekly. Not my major so I think too much work. Books are free to download.

He gave detailed feedback on assignments and provided feedback before the next assignment is due so feedback can be considered before submitting. He allowed redos on some early assignments so we can get use to it. He's fair and understanding. I took the class for Credit and it was easy to get. Textbooks can be downloaded for free online.

This class was an eye-opening experience. It deepened my understanding of the complexities and contributions of Asian Americans throughout U.S. history. The course was well-structured, with engaging readings and discussions. It challenged my perspective and helped me appreciate the diversity and resilience of this community. Getting credit is easy.

I've known Dr. Lee for two years, taking four of his classes. He's been an unofficial advisor, helping me apply to grad school. His advice was direct and honest, and I'm grateful for it. He wrote recommendation letters for me, leading to my acceptance into three programs with full funding.

He maintained a focus on how each group was racialized throughout the term which helps to develop a lens in which we can identify these moments of racialization throughout history.

Professor Lee has done everything he can for our asynchronous class! I don't think he can do anything beyond what he already does to better his students experiences! There's no need to purchase the books, you can download for free online.

the class overall went smoothly and despite being a fair challenge, I learn a lot about Asian American history.

I've taken 3 classes for Credit with this professor. Same format and expectations in each one. Follow the instructions, get the readings, and do the writing assignments. Very easy to pass. I avoided taking the final exams by doing well on the journals and quizzes. It helped me focus on my other classes. Most readings are downloadable for free.

Grading the assignments promptly, although I understand that having so many students can be difficult. I am appreciative of all the emails he sent and the communication that was sent to us in a timely manner. He did respond within good timing and was very gracious in allowing us to re-submit assignments and give us proper feedback to improve!

I'm taking this class for credit and I already have enough points for credit, so I do not need to do the final exam. I get to focus on my other classes. It is designed to be an easy Credit grade class. Overall, great class and nice instructor. I would take again.

You don't need to read everything. The textbooks are available from the library for free. The class is organized well. Weekly lessons focus on specific ethnic groups. He sends out reminders each week three times to keep us on track.

The specificity of his instructions for the journals and essays is insane. At first, I did not like them, but afterwards, I realized they helped me in my writing because they clearly indicate what I need to do. Follow the instructions, and you will do well.

Understanding. Flexible with the time schedule and extending assignments.

Professor Lee did a fantastic job of keeping up with reminders and explaining all course concepts. The weekly module is properly detailed and announcement reminder are sent on what to expect for the week.

The instructor was extremely understanding, patient and I enjoyed his class SO MUCH.

The professor is very patient and very helpful. He's also cares about his students and you can tell he wants his students to pass. He sends out emails to remind us about about upcoming due dates.

Racialization theory is all you need to know in order to do well in this class. The entire class is based on this theory. The instructor clearly communicated expectations and consistently updated the class on assignments and due dates. They also provided ample materials to ensure a solid understanding of the course.

Very good class. I saw the professor in a Hulu documentary! Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal. He really knows his material and wrote the textbook.

I like how he provided a video and transcripts on his online classes and gets back to our email question really fast, which is very helpful. He makes it very clear that we will not be able to use IA to help on his assignments, so be ready to do the work honestly.

It took me a few weeks to get used to how direct he is, but after a while, I got used to it and appreciated it.

He talked about the history of Asian Americans in great detail so that everyone could fully understand it and also provided some images to illustrate it. Detailed explanations of the different topics for the class, consideration of students' schedules and perspectives.

Fast replier and willingness to help

This materials-free, flexible online class was an amazing experience! The ability to learn at my own pace, access materials anytime, and interact with fellow students made it incredibly convenient. Despite being zero-cost, the content was high-quality and engaging.

The instructor was fantastic! Always flexible and understanding, they allowed extensions whenever needed, ensuring I could keep up with the course despite my busy schedule. Their responsiveness and support created a positive, stress-free learning environment. I truly appreciated their patience and dedication to students' success!

Professor Lee has done everything he can for our asynchronous class! I don't think he can do anything beyond what he already does to better his students' experiences!

He was incredibly flexible with the course and provided clear, thoughtful guidance on what he expected from us. This made it easy to stay on track and feel supported throughout. His approach created an open, positive learning environment that made achieving our goals feel both attainable and rewarding.

As a Hmong student, I found the Southeast Asian American course to be both enlightening and empowering. It gave me a deeper understanding of my heritage and the shared experiences of our community. The course was engaging, thoughtful, and fostered meaningful discussions that helped me connect more with my identity and culture.

He is good at laying out the curriculum clearly, so you can follow along easily online. I took this class for credit no credit, and easily got credit.

Each week consisted of something new and was neatly organized on Canvas. Though the workload was heavy on top of other classes, extensions were granted through email requests.

I really liked how Canvas was organized. It was clean and easy to navigate, clearly showing what needed to be done and providing everything necessary to succeed in the class.

This entire class is about racialization in AA history.

The professor is flexible and allows for late work. Early on, he allowed for redo as we learn how to do the journal assignment. This class is online and very organized.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but this class ended up being more interesting than I thought. The professor was knowledgeable, and I learned a lot about Asian American history and challenges. The discussions were okay, but some parts felt repetitive. Still, it gave me a better understanding of the issues they face today.

A fully online class that is well-designed and has clear expectations. I have no complaints, and I will take an upper-division class with this professor next semester.

Take it for credit no credit. It is very easy to get credit. I didn't have to take the final exam because I already have enough points for credit.

The professor clearly outlines what we need to do and keeps the workload manageable. It's easy to stay on track in this class.

The instructor's strengths included a well-organized course structure, helpful weekly outlines, and clear instructions. Flexible assignment deadlines made managing the workload easier. Lectures were engaging, and the readings were both challenging and interesting. Overall, it was an enjoyable and thought-provoking class!

Despite being a fully online course, the instructors were consistently communicative and ensured that the deadlines were both clear and manageable.

I like that it is an online class that does not force students to engage with others very much. As an introvert, I like everything about this class because it is well organized and routine, so there are no surprises, and the instructor seems to really care about student learning by allowing redos and being flexible with late assignments.

I struggled this semester with the writing assignment, but I slowly got better at it. He allowed redos on some of them. I just aced my final essay. Follow the instructions and you will do well. Reading is important. I'm going to take another class with him next semester. I liked the flexibility of how this class was setup.

I worked hard all semester, and I'm happy with my final grade. His instructions are detailed, so make sure to follow them carefully. The expectations are clear, and the class is well-organized. It is also flexible in terms of weekly assignments, which is important for me since I work.

I thought this class was great. I did most of my work on the weekend because I work, so the flexible online format was great. You have to read, and the textbooks can be downloaded for FREE. The essay requests require citations from the book, so using AI will not work. I think maybe that is why some are upset. Just do the work required.

I didn't do well on the first part of the final exam, but I met with him to discuss it, and he explained it to me. The second part of the final exam was basically the same topic but in a short answer format. I got 100/100 and ended up getting a B+. The textbook is a must, and it can be downloaded from the library at no cost. I highly recommend it!

His lectures are insightful and engaging, making even the most complex topics accessible. I regret not fully applying myself to his class, as I now see how much I could have learned. I highly recommend his courses to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of history. Don't use ChatGPT on the finals. It requires details and quotations.

I appreciate how the professor designed the final to prevent cheating. The clear instructions ensured academic integrity and discouraged the use of AI-generated essays. I scored 280/300 and earned an A. I highly recommend this class and will definitely be taking another course with this professor next semester.

I like his teaching style a lot. I'm taking AAS 380 next semester. I'm a single parent and I need online classes and his are the most flexible I have taken. There is a lot of writing and reading, but its interesting. If you follow the instructions, you'll easily get 10/10 on weekly journals. It is pretty much the same with the final. No complaints.

Get ready to read and write a lot of journals and essays. Although there is a lot of writing, he provides constructive comments and allows for some redos. He reviewed drafts of my work until I was able to do the journals correctly. You'll have to read to do well.

You cannot copy from the internet or use AI in this class.

I spent 3-4 hours each week on this class. It is online, asynchronous, and flexible. Required textbooks are a must have, but is available for free from the campus library. I didn't buy them. Quizzes are many based on readings, not lectures. The final exams are heavily based on readings and require specific engagement with readings.

Focus on his lectures and readings. Books are available for free from the library on campus. I like how his instructions are very specific for the essay, which makes it easier for me to do because I just focus on answering the specific questions. Overall, great class and a great instructor. I'm taking an upper division with him next semester.

This online Asian American history class was an eye-opening and empowering experience! As a Hmong American student, I appreciated how the course highlighted diverse voices and stories, including my own community's history. The content was engaging, thought-provoking, and gave me a deeper understanding of the triumphs of Asian Americans.

this class is flexible for someone who works. he'll give you a week in order to complete the reading, quiz and journal. you must read for sure because the writing is based on reading. i'm taking another class again with Lee.

This well-organized online class was perfect for students with work commitments. I appreciated the clear structure and had a very positive experience. The two finals featured the same question—one as a short essay, the other as a short answer. I was on the borderline between B+ and A-, and he bumped me to an A-.

FULLY ONLINE AND FULLY FLEXIBLE. 10 QUIZZES. 1 SHORT ESSAY. 1 SHORT ANSWER FINAL. MUST READ. BOOKS ARE FREE FROM THE LIBRARY.

A lot of short writing assignments and weekly reading quizzes. Overall, the class is structured and organized and the professor is relaxed and flexible about late work with proper notice.

As a first-generation Lao student, this Asian American history class was eye-opening and enriching. The content was diverse and inclusive, covering of many communities, including my own. The engaging lectures, discussions, and resources helped me connect deeply to my heritage. Highly recommend!

The Asian American history class was informative, but the fully online format had its ups and downs. While the lectures were comprehensive and covered key topics, some discussions felt disconnected without face-to-face interaction. The assignments were manageable, but the lack of live engagement made it harder to stay motivated.

I was at city college for three years and took a lot of online classes due to having to work full time. This is one of the best online classes I have taken because it is so flexible with assignments.

A gem. He really cares about student success and went out of his way to help me.

My high school BFF died middle of the semester and I struggled with getting my work done. He was very caring and allowed me to submit late work and even allowed me to have an incomplete to give me time over the break to finish up my finals. I got them done and submitted it last night. He sent me a very supportive message showing that he cares.

I wish there are more online classes like his. They are well designed, organized, and flexible.

Seriously, if you're thinking about appealing your grade, just know you'll be cross-examined and grilled. I really regret doing it.

Professor Lee is an incredibly kind and caring instructor who truly goes above and beyond for his students. His passion for Asian American history is matched only by his genuine desire to help others succeed. He creates a warm, welcoming classroom where every student feels valued and supported. Truly an inspiring teacher! I'm taking another class.

The professor is a true role model, teaching students that success is built on integrity and hard work. Instead of simply punishing cheating, they encourage open dialogue about the value of honesty in academics and life. Through their guidance, students learn that true achievement comes from effort, not shortcuts.

Great class. Great professor. You must read to do well. He's open to different perspectives as long as they engaged with the assigned readings.

I enjoyed the online course. It was well planned and laid out, easy to follow, and the workload (homework, reading, quizzes, discussions, and tests) was just enough.

I was allowed to add late, and he has been helpful in giving me the readings because I don't have the books yet. He seems to be kind and understanding. He assured me that I could catch up even though I missed one of three weeks of the winter session.

I took this Winter course, one of my best history classes. It had 3 essays, similar in structure. Grading emphasized improvement, doubling scores with each essay for better grades. Scoring 100 on the final exam adjusted my second essay score to 100 too. The course emphasized applying racialization theory for content analysis over memorization.

I got an A, so I have no complaints. I like that he will replace lower test scores with higher ones if we improve. I scored low on the first test and got better and better on the next two, so I ended up with an A. It was not easy. I had to read. Listen to lectures and put in a lot of effort.

While he assigns books he wrote, they are available for free download from the campus library and he lets us know that. I like that he will double the score on the essays if we should improvement. I got a 65 on the first essay and a 95 on the second, so my first essay was changed to a 95 because of improvement. No other professor does this.

The class is well organized, and I understand the workload. The assignments are also easy to understand, and the instructor is a good communicator.

Prof. Lee is very attentive when grading, especially when it comes to his rubric. I like that he allowed us to improve on our mistakes in the essays.

Good instructor

This class was incredible! The teacher was so caring, always made time for me, and created a supportive experience. His passion and engaging lessons brought the material to life. I felt truly seen and inspired—one of the best online learning experiences I've ever had!

This online class is flexible and fits perfectly into my life, and the relaxed pace makes learning enjoyable, not stressful. The content is clear and engaging. Grade is based on three essays. Highly recommend for stress-free learning!

I submitted my final essay earlier, and it has already been graded. All three essays are on the same topic of racialization. The instructions were very detailed, but they helped me with my writing. I'm taking another class with him next fall.

My first class with Prof. Lee. The class is exceptionally well designed, offering a flexible schedule that fits my busy schedule since I work. The course structure supports learning with clear content and assignments. I appreciated the opportunity to be graded on improvement—it truly encouraged growth. I downloaded the book from the campus library.

I'm really impressed by how he holds all students to high standards—it really shows that he believes in our ability to grow and improve.

He's a very supportive professor. I felt supported the entire semester. He allowed me to submit my essays late twice because I had to work.

The instructor is clear and direct, setting expectations early, which really helps set the tone for the course. The course itself is well-organized and easy to navigate, making it a smooth and straightforward learning experience with minimal issues along the way.

Professor Lee is incredibly knowledgeable, as made clear by the two assigned textbooks he wrote.

Asynchronus teaching

This professor was very informed about all aspects of the subject and, through his videos, helped students better understand racialization as a process in history.

Got a good grade, but this class was frustrating. It's easy, but the structure is a mess and the self-written textbook is shallow and cherry-picked. Essays were painful to write because the sources are honestly stupid, and I doubt he reads them—I know someone who submitted theirs at 11 PM and woke up to a graded paper the next morning

The essays were challenging, but nonetheless, the class was well organized, and we knew what to expect.

I liked the detailed structure of the essay assignments. It got a perfect score in this class.

This class is mad chill — everything's laid out clear, so I know what's coming up. The assignments make sense, and the prof knows how to break stuff down easy.

I really liked this class—learned a ton and it honestly gave me a lot to think about. I even found out some stuff about my own culture that I didn't know before, which was super cool.

I'm glad I did not opt for Credit No Credit. I almost did. But he will replace lower scores if you do better, so I ended up with an A.

Your grade is based on three essays. He doubles with improvement. All essays are based on racialization concept.

I am not the best writer, so having to write 3 essays is hard. But the instructions and the outline he provides makes it doable. I checked the book out from the library. He graded the essays really fast, so we know are grades in 1-2 days.

I'm graduating, and I'm glad I took this class before graduating. Great class. Great prof. Great material.

Not gonna lie, I was skeptical at first, but this course delivered. The content was solid, and the instructor really knew how to keep things engaging. Everything was well-organized, videos weren't too long, and the essays actually helped me learn.

Best history class ever. I can now confidently and intelligently talk about "race".

I am grateful for the learning and growth I experienced during this semester.

The textbook is available for download at the campus library. The grade is based on three essays that are reading-heavy and rigid in structure. The details helped me write my essay. The focus of the essay is on the analysis of concepts.

I'm Khmer and this class is the first class I have taken that was all about my country and culture. I loved it. The prof was very responsive to emails and graded essays quickly.

The thing that I like most about this professor is that you know exactly what is expected, and all three essays have the same detailed instructions and requirements.

I was tryna juggle six classes and couldn't keep up. He told me I should drop like two or three, so I did. Real talk, that was solid advice. I'm hella not doing that many classes again.

Take it for credit no credit. Pretty easy to get credit.

Two thumbs up! I'm taking another class with Professor Lee next fall, since he told me the structure and design will be the same as this one. I appreciate knowing what's expected in such a detailed and clear way.

I attended office hours almost every week, and it was beneficial, as it prepared me for the three essays. He gives you the answers during office hours. Make sure to read. The required books are available for free at the campus library.

Prof. Lee helped me with my grad application for Saint Mary's College of California and I not only got accepted into their master's program for Marriage and Family Therapy, but I also got some scholarships. I took four classes with Prof. Lee and learned how to become a better academic writer.

This prof is responsive and communicative, providing timely feedback and addressing student questions promptly.
