Prof. Lim has some of the most entertaining lectures I've been to. Be prepared for only 4 tests that will make up your entire grade for the course, but so long as you take good notes during lecture, thoroughly review your notes, and understand some of the key points, you should walk out with at least a B.

She is a fun and engaging professor. She keeps things interesting through her anecdotes and jokes. The class is heavily data driven, and the entire course is graded off of 4 multiple choice exams. If you are good at interpreting data from charts and graphs, or you can take good notes and pay attention, you should do fine.

There are only four test grades a semester so be sure to study. It is a lecture only class, so be prepared to take notes. That being said, Professor Lim keeps class interesting by cracking jokes and relating the topics to student's lives. Go to lecture, take good notes and read the textbook and you should be fine.

She is an awesome prof that likes to share interesting stories in her class. I feel like she is deeply concerned with the general parochial freshmen population and tells stories to let them be more open minded. Lectures cover some nitty gritty stuff that might be on the exams. Go to classes and its an easy A.

Dr. Lim is incredible! Her tests are extremely correlated with the textbook, so READ. Also, make notecards! While this isn't a hard class, you still need to apply yourself and work hard. Dr. Lim is hilarious and cares about her students. Her accent isn't a problem, so no worries about that. She only gives 4 exams-- no homework or quizzes, so read!

Dr. Lim is hilariously relatable. She is so down to earth and makes it clear with her chill classroom environment. She makes a boring subject interesting with her humor, her wisdom, and her use of sources. She attacks all political beliefs and sticks to the facts. Warning: Not a class for the easily offended.

Dr. Lim is very funny and I thought the class was easy.

This class ended up being much more enjoyable than I thought it would be. Lim is very funny and makes the lectures interesting. I definitely recommend taking notes over the lectures as well as reading the textbook. The tests weren't too difficult, and I only ended up making a B because I didn't study much for the last exam and didn't do so well.

Her exams are also based on the lectures, which are not mandatory, but the lectures are extremely helpful and help a ton.

I honestly believe this was the best class of my first semester here at A&M. A very good teacher for this class, teaches material well and makes getting an A in her class very easy. If you attend lectures and pay attention, you can A every test with only an hour or two of studying. Do not take her if you are easily offended, she has crude humor.

Dr. Lim is the best POLS prof here. She is so funny and insightful. She knows so much about the gov here but can relate it to the gov in her home country which makes it interesting. She gives straight facts but not everyone can handle the truth. There is nothing but 4 exams but not much extra credit so keep that in mind if not showing up to class.

This class can be an easy A if you don't skip class and you read the textbook. Usually the professor's lectures are pretty entertaining!

Prof Lim is an upbeat instructor that does her best to make the content fun. Exams are a combination of lecture and reading from the text so be ready for that. If you go to class and pay attention in lecture you will do fine in the class.

She's a hilarious but be warned she has no filter. If you get easily offended don't take her and if you do please don't complain because it makes the class boring for everyone else. In short she makes a very boring subject insanely funny.

I love Dr. Lim. Her lectures are hilarious and help the information to stick in your head. Your only grades are from tests, no homework or quizzes or anything, so make sure you read. Her tests are reasonable and everything is on the slides or in the book, but the material is memorization heavy- especially for graphs.

These reviews are so dramatic. It's a political science class; it's going to require you to memorize a bunch of facts. It's what I expected. If you go to lectures and read the book, though, you can start to make actually make sense of the facts (which she wants you to do) so you don't have to just memorize them. Plus, she's very entertaining!

Lim is definitely a character. Some people find her controversial, and if you get easily offended you might not want to take her, but we had a lot of great class discussions. She posts her slides online, but you'll do better if you go to class. Tests are 80% from the lecture and 20% from the book, so make to skim through it. Solid POLS professor.

If you like a very straight forward professor, Lim is for you. She told us to leave her class if you get offended easily or dont like how the class is only 4 tests. It is important to read the book and look over powerpoints. Lectures were interesting but not required to make a good grade. She knows POLS 207 is very boring so she makes class funny.

She is funny, tests are easy if you listen in class. Very clearly liberal however and teaches her course that way.

She is super funny and makes her lectures fun! The exams are all easy, as long as you study her powerpoints and read the textbook, you're guaranteed an A. She speaks her mind, so if you get offended easily, take someone else. Then again, this is the real world and you should be able to appreciate differing opinions.

Lim has an interesting sense of humor but I honestly really enjoyed this class. She made lectures interesting and entertaining. Grades are based off of 4 tests. I found that reading the textbook helped a lot as well as attending class, but a lot of people got by by only doing one or the other. Its not a hard class but you do have to put effort

This class was an easy A. As long as you read the textbook and go to a few lectures, you will be fine. She is very opinionated and can be annoying, but the class was so easy I didn't mind. There are four tests, each worth 25% of your grade.

Dr Lim has a great sense of humor and makes a boring topic sound somewhat interesting. Attendance is not mandatory and grade is solely based on 4 exams. The exams are difficult but doable if you either show up to class or read the textbook. I managed to get an A without even purchasing the book, simply by showing up to class. No homework!!!

Lim is one of my favorite professors i've ever had at A&M, she is articulated, very non partisan on political issues, and her lectures are amazing. This class is a majority from the book but i went to class anyway because she made lecture so interesting. She's got a hilarious sense of humor which helps you remember things. Definitely read the book.

As long as you go over the lectures and know the graphs she posts, you don't even have to go to class very often. Read the book and you'll do even better. She's super funny and her lecture are definitely not boring, so that's a plus. Kinda weird about groupme though.

Phaik Lim is pretty funny, you don't have a final and you're only grades are four tests. People who do poor in this class are probably part the 60% of my class that never showed up to lectures. She sometimes quotes test questions so if you take good notes and bother to study a bit before your test you'll do fine.

Honestly I never go to lectures. Read the textbook and take some notes and youll get an A

Over all, this class was not terrible. The grades came from four tests each worth 25% of the overall grade. I read the assigned chapters for most of the tests, though if you attend class you will get a solid foundation for the tests. Professor Lim keeps it interesting with jokes, though if you are easily offended this prof is not for you.

She keeps lectures as interesting as she can, grade is made up of 4 tests only, read the textbook!! I got an A by reading a few nights before the tests and looking over my notes I took from lecture. Defiantly attend class as she gives tips on what to study for tests. There is no homework or assignments.

Lim was hilarious; the material was boring but she found ways to make it more interesting. Attendance isn't mandatory but it really helps to go to class, especially if you aren't trying to read too much into the textbook. Wish I could take her for my next government class!

Pretty easy A if you just pay attention in class and read the textbook. I always study 3-4 days before the exams and do fine on them. The professor is hilarious as well, and I have fun listening to her lectures.

Dr. Lim is hands down the funniest professor I've ever had! Her constant jokes keep lectures entertaining. The grading for this class only consists of 4 test grades (non-cumulative), so look elsewhere if you rely on homework assignments to boost your grades. Tests are fairly easy if you come to class, read the the textbook, and review quizlets!

She's really funny. Take her for the experience if you're good at pols. The only reason I brought her down on rating was because she doesnt ever say anything abt the exams--barely mentions it. I just think shes so into the material she forgets were trying to get the grade. Hard A, easy pass.

Dr. Lim is probably the hardest POLS prof here simply because if you miss class, then you will miss valuable information and this class is based only on 4 exam grades so you cant really mess up. Despite the course difficulty she is by far one of the funniest and enjoyable prof here at TAMU. Take her if you want an amazing person to listen to!!!

Professor Lim was the Best! She is a very blunt and unique person. She really enjoys teaching and will say things in class to help you understand the material. Her tests were both from the book and her lectures. Pols can be boring but she definitely made it interesting.

Just show up to class and read the book the day before the test and you should be able to make an A. Lectures do get boring but the material is pretty straight forward.

No homework, only 4 tests that are all multiple choice, lectures can be boring most of the times but she makes the best of it cracking a joke here and there. As long as you read the book and pay attention in class you'll do fine. Her slides are all graphs/charts from the book.

Professor Lim is iconic at TAMU. Her lectures are hilarious and it helps you learn the material. Her tests are sort of difficult but if you read the textbook and take good notes during her lectures it should be an easy A.

Dr. Lim is the best! Shes really funny and makes class easy to understand. She is very liberal and open about it, so if youre not comfortable with that dont take her. The tests arent bad at all except for a few hard questions. Youll need to go to class and read the book to get an A.

Switched test format due to COVID so kinda got robbed of an A :( BUT, solid professor nonetheless. 207 is a dry class so Dr. Lim makes sure to crack jokes that help you get through the class. Can sometimes go on tangents but would still recommend. Only grades are 4 tests so make sure to pay attention.

No class was made harder because of Covid-19. No one was "robbed" of an A. She did switch the test format but she gave 10 bonus points on each exam if you did the extra credit and dropped the lowest exam grade. Extremely easy A if you read and show up to class. People just expect pols 207 to be a blow-off class because most profs treat it that way.

Dr. Lim gives good lectures with lots of useful information; showing up to class and carefully reading the book should be enough for most people to do well. The class is extremely test heavy which can be good or bad depending on how well you take tests, but the tests aren't unreasonably difficult. I learned a lot from this class and would take agai

Prof Lim genuinely has been working so hard to make our asynchronous lectures work. The semester started off a little rough bc of technical issues, but she made sure everyone was caught up. This class is test heavy, but in general the exams aren't too hard. Good choice for a pols class.

Dr. Lims class was one of the easiest classes I have taken here at A&M. Notes were pretty short and quizzes and tests are open book, it does help to read the book but if you don't look at it at all you should be able to still reach an A or a high B. Overall the class was super easy.

This professor had a really rough semester transitioning into online work but she remade her whole class organization twice for us. She gave us all ample time and made everything open note. I couldnt have asked for a more straight-forward class. The negative comments are people who dont understand asynchronous courses.

Dr. Lim was literally bullied all semester. She changed her class lay out 2 or 3 times to accommodate us. If you watch the lectures, you're golden. All the exams and quizzes are open note. I didn't even read the book but is used it/scanned through for the quizzes. This was her first time with async so the upload process was a little rough at first.

We had a rough start with online, but she took constructive criticism well and by the third quiz, everything was golden. Easy quizzes and exams if you watch lectures and skim the book. My fav prof this semester. Go to zoom reviews if you get the chance -- she's hilarious and so sweet. TAKE HER IF YOU CAN. Don't listen to the bad reviews, she great!

All the negative reviews are students just mad she didnt bump their grade. Her class was the most simple and easiest class ive taken ever. If you didnt get an A then its your fault for being lazy & doing nothing. One quiz a week that are OPEN NOTE (easy 100) & three exams no final. Shes truly an amazing teacher.

Professor Lim is the sweetest professor I have ever had at A&M. She is so understanding and tests/quizzes are very easy. I did not get a single grade below a 90. Drops lowest quiz grade. Ignore the negative ratings, those are students who didn't pay attention to due dates and emails. Professor Lim is great, TAKE HER!

NICEST TEACHER I have ever had. The hate comments are the students who didnt do what was asked of them and or believed this class was gonna be a breeze. You have to put work in to get the grade you want. Dr Lim has been through a lot this semester,but did the best and is the sweetest and caring teacher at Texas A&M. TAKE HER ignore the negativity!

We had about a week or two at the start of the semester where the proff was struggling with first time using canvas, but after that has been one of the easiest to reach ive ever had. If you put in the time to read the textbook and take notes in class its such an easy class, and the proff literally gets back to any questions within hours every time.

Dr. Lim was an incredibly accommodating professor, especially in an online learning environment. She gave us all of the resources we needed to succeed in her class -- if you put even a little work in, you will get an A. (Open note for everything.) I really wish I could've experienced her course in person, if you can take her, please do!

Do not listen to the negative reviews. She gave all the resources needed to get at least a B in the class easily. Her quizzes were straight from her lectures and her tests were straight from the textbook. It is also important to mentions that every test/quiz in this class was open-note. It's unfair to blame a professor for your own shortcomings.

Pretty easy class, and good professor. Quizzes and test are open note so its not hard at all.

This class took up probably an hour of my time a week. Lim posted powerpoints with a voiceover and as long as you listened and took notes, getting an A was easy. Anyone who complains about this prof is just looking for something to be upset about, this class was an easy A and she gave us plenty of resources to succeed.

To get a good grade all you had to do was listen to her lecture videos. I made As on all of the quizzes. This class was very easy, the people complaining did not put in any effort. Students were horrible to her. I really appreciate Dr. Lim and all sje did for this class this semester.

Everyone hated on her all semester, and yes there were times she was not the most organized and may have blamed it on us. It was a tough circumstance though, and she did not give up. Class was not hard as long as you just do your work. Lim is a great teacher who just got put in a bad situation this semester.

Shes great. She gives everything she can for the benefit and betterment of her students. Youll love her if youre a lazy student, youll love her if youre a hard working student. She goes out of her way to teach and get the lesson through. Idve loved to have taken her class in person.

She had a rough time teaching online but that was because students complained about anything they could. The class is easy. She gives a powerpoint lecture, you listen and take notes (30mins max) and then you take an easy quiz (open note) with an exam (open note) every 3-4 chapters. Easiest A ever. It's the same thing every week with minimal effort.

Take her! I wish I could have taken her 207 class in-person, but it wasn't offered for me. Also, please be nice to her, she gets lots of students that complain to her left and right, so please just email her for emergencies or to let her know she's doing a great job. If she seems "rude", it's because too many people complain to her for no reason.

She had technical difficulties at the beginning of the semester with transition to canvas but made sure to update us about changes to the course schedule. She was understanding about problems the students faced and offered help. The class is easy just make sure to read the book and the powerpoints she provides.

This class was very manageable if you make sure to stay on top of the lectures and take good notes. The only grades are quizzes (one per week) & 3 exams. I got over a 93 on all exams, so they arent bad. Everything is multiple choice. Many students tried to take advantage of her, which is why they complain about this class. Was asynchronous.

I felt very bad for her at the beginning of the semester as she had technical difficulties and annoying students that asked for extensions on everything. 1 quiz every week, 3 exams, no final. The structure of this class wavered slightly at the beginning, but once things had a solid posting day it was smooth sailing. Easy content if you listen.

Professor Lim had a rough start, but once she started pushing out the quizzes it starts going back to an orderly schedule. We had many students complain to her and take advantage of her lenience, hence the amount of emails she had to send out. If you did the bare minimum it is very hard not to get at least a B. Not to mention it was asynchronous.

Class was easy and the teacher was fun. Not much more to ask for.

Dr Lim clearly promises at the beginning of class that she does not want her class to be difficult; and she does a great job in keeping the promise. All activities are open note and lectures are interesting. She gives clear instructions on when quizzes and tests will be open and offers many opportunities to take them online outside of class.

Incredibly easy class. Honestly if you half some common sense you probably don't even need to show up to class or read the textbook. Quizzes and tests were open note to her power points. Just look at them and you'll be fine. If you do attend class though her lectures are really funny.

Prof Lim outlined everything in her syllabus! As long as you take notes and read the textbook before quizzes you will do well. No homework also is a plus! I found notes during lectures super helpful for quizzes and exams but not going won't necessarily kill your grade. Hands down best prof for pols 207 .

Overall a pretty easy class. Lectures can be pretty boring but she's got a good sense of humor.

Dr. Lim is the professor you want to take for POLS 207. The work in her class is minimal compared to the other teachers, only requiring a quiz over every chapter which ends up being about once a week. All her graded work is open note and open book, and her lectures are straight from the book, so this becomes very easy. She is also pretty funny.

I ended with a 98 because I actually paid attention and took notes on lectures. Took notes from textbook for first test, but didn't after that. All her tests and quizzes were open notes, lecture slides, (and internet too, even though she doesn't say it). Pretty left leaning, but not bad; I was just there for the easy A! 1 hr/week out of class

Take notes and you'll do well in the class. She gives open-note tests and quizzes. Since she posts the notes, you don't need to show up for lectures to do well, but she can be funny during her lectures if you decide to show up.

She's kinda funny, lots of dirty jokes. I never went to class and still made an A, even without watching the recordings. It's a little harder if you don't watch them and just use the slides, but still pretty easy. If you watch the recordings you're golden.

This class is very interesting and can be completed with an A. You need to either attend class or listen to lectures, the textbook is somewhat helpful. Not much extra credit. Just show up and put in the work

Class was informative and not too hard. Professor is funny and explains concepts very well. I recommend this professor for POLS-207.

Dr. Lim is a solid choice for this course. Lectures aren't mandatory, but the majority of content on exams/tests come from the lectures, so if you don't attend, you probably won't past. You're only graded via tests and quizzes, but if you were awake during class and can read your notes (open-note exams), they're fairly easy to get an A on.

Dr Lim is a solid choice if you plan on actually learning the material. She only does exams and quizzes, so understanding the concepts is the only way to receive an A. I really enjoyed her lectures, she added jokes and was a funny person overall. Be ready to take really accurate notes though, most questions on exams are word-for-word from lecture.

Probably the easiest class I have taken at A&M yet. Super straightforward: only grades are quizzes and tests. While I did not attend class, I still found the exams very easy because most of the content is in the textbook, you just have to find it which can get difficult under time contraints. Overall, really nice professor and a very easy class.

I loved Dr. Lim's class and would recommend it to anyone! The class is well-structured, and quizzes and tests are open note and closely aligned with the lectures. She's super funny and entertaining, and I felt like I learned a lot from this class.

She's a very funny, engaging lecturer despite the boring topics. Literally every single thing on the quizzes was covered in class, and tests were no different. Very easy A if you simply paid attention and wrote down a few notes.

Phaik is awesome. Her class is just a bunch of powerpoints and quizzes and really easy. Just take her to get the credit out of the way

Her lectures will definitely keep you awake. Dont need to read the book to succeed

I absolutely loved Dr. Lim. She is super passionate and very funny and really knows her stuff. If you're into PoliSci at all, take this class. Very easy

I have 0 idea why there are any reviews complaining about the difficulty of the class; There is almost no portion of the class which I could call difficult to any degree. Tune out the noise and take her, she's very fun and understanding, and if you can read a line graph you should be fine lol

I don't get why there are negative comments about Dr. Lim. She said she made the class harder, but it has been easy for me. The quizzes and exams are open note, but proctored by Respondus Lockdown. You have to attend class or watch the lectures because majority of the exam questions come from her lectures. I haven't read the book either!

Dr. Lim was a great prof. Her lectures correlated with the tests. The class wasn't that much work outside of class. It was mainly tests with chapter quizzes. She is really funny, and she does record lectures so if you miss a day here and there you can easily make it up.

This class is probably slightly more difficult than most other intro levels, but it's not impossible if you're an average test taker. The test grades make up your entire course grade, so they can be daunting, but reading and attending lectures will go a really long way -- there aren't very many curveballs on the tests.

Dr. Lim clearly stated her expectations for class which consisted of weekly online quizzes, 3 OPEN BOOK online exams, and 3 side assignments that took barely any effort. Her lectures are engaging and she even posts her recordings online to review. I really enjoyed her lectures; she's hilarious and very fair. Would definitely take again.

Class was easy and low effort. All work/exams were open book & based on common sense/simple statistics. She is funny & smart, but doesn't communicate well w/ students so a many people are mad. Doesn't change that this class is a good one. TLDR: Don't listen to the petty ratings that are just mad that they didn't put in effort or agree politically.

Solid professor. Every quiz and test is open note - 2 tries on quizzes. I rarely went to class and still got an A, she posts all of her lectures online. She is very funny and interactive with the class during lectures. Some exam questions seemed to come out of nowhere, but still, it's open note, not difficult, and bad reviews are overexaggerating.

Your grade comes from 10 quizzes and 3 tests that are online and open book. So, if you are good under pressure (short time limits) and can use control F in the text book then it is great because you won't have to do hw. All the lectures are posted so I never went to class. I watched the lectures at 2x speed before the quiz/test and it was easy.

I have never been the person who likes learning about history or government, but Dr. Lim's lectures are funny and interesting. There are quizzes over each chapter and then 3 exams. The exams are not comprehensive, so there isn't really a final. There are 3 or so writing assignments that are just a paragraph. Her lectures are very informative!

Dr. Lim is an incredible professor for POLS 207! I wouldn't consider myself good at government courses but Dr. Lim made learning about State & Local Government much more enjoyable. She is passionate about the materials she lectures about and the course may be lecture heavy but the lectures are so enjoyable that you wouldn't mind that.

As you can likely tell the ratings for Dr.Lim are either 1's or 5's. She's extremely passionate and a good lecturer who will not put you to sleep like so many other professors. Many of the people who hate her will disagree with her politically or be upset at their zero effort grade. She's new to the online format but still goes above others.

Professor Lim can be strict, but only when students provoke her. Professor Lim always provided ample time for assignments, sometimes even reminding us 10+ times for due dates. Your grade is based on 3 exams (25% each) 10 quizzes (1.6% each) and 3 required core assessments (3% each). This class was fun and I do recommend her for POLS 207.

Professor Lim was a great professor. She made all of her expectations very clear. Getting an A was easily attainable, just go to lecture or watch the recordings. Many people call her inconsiderate or rude, but she actually was very considerate of the students' opinions.

Professor Lim was the funniest professor I have ever had. I usually hate polisci lectures bc they feel basic and boring. Professor Lim was hilarious and her lectures helped a lot. I will say I do not know how I got a B because I do not actually know what I learned in this course. Her tests were very easy and open note.

really fun, engaging lectures

Professor Lim is hilarious during lecture, but she is definitely strongly opinionated! She definitely enjoys bashing Texas and the US in general. But, if you don't get offended too easily it won't be a big deal at all. Quizzes are open note and super easy, but definitely study a little for the exams and you should be fine! Overall not a hard course

She is hilarious and definitely made learning political science a lot more entertaining. She has textbook, but mostly elaborates off her slide points, so going to lectures are highly encouraged.

Dr. Lim is a great professor; her lectures were always entertaining and her quizzes were open-book. One thing to be aware of is that her grading is 25% quizzes and 75% exams, so if you're not a confident test taker this might not be the professor for you.

Has good lectures and doesn't have any homework. At first didn't do open note quizzes but changed it about halfway through the semester. Lectures are pretty funny and will help you remember info for the test. Test are super easy if you study just have to pay attention on the questions cause will change small things.

Dr. Lim makes POLS so easy, because so much of it is common sense. Even though most of the questions could be answered from memory, she still makes quizzes open note.

I personally liked her as a professor though I know many didn't in large part to there being zero homework for the class. There were 11 open note quizzes with the lowest grade being dropped at the end of the semester, 3 multiple choice only tests, and no final as the only grades. Each test was worth 25 points and each quiz was worth 2.5 points.

Dr. Lim is very funny but also strict with her teaching style. My only issue with the class were that grades were only based on quizzes and tests, but if you study for those and read the textbook they aren't difficult. Her political views are controversial for some but if you look past that, it's an easy class.

Dr. Lim is a great choice for POLS207. Not only is she clearly very knowlegable, but her often hilarious lecturing keeps the topics engaging. While she is very liberal, I was unbothered as a Christian student, she maintained much less bias than others note below.

Professor Lim is great, she is not a boring professor to listen to, which is crucial since the entirety of her tests are based on her lectures. 3 tests and 11 quizzes, all easy if you can use common sense and attend her lectures - I never had to read the textbook once and made a A with only studying the day of each test.

There's no homework but each exam is with 25% of your grade. Quizzes are all open note and exams are easy if you read the textbook and pay attention to lectures. I recommend if you have good study habits and are a good test taker. Easy class overall.

To be completely honest: not a lot of people like her because her exams were via lockdown browser and she is liberal leaning. Politics aside, she knows what she's talking about, is funny at times, and through practice her assessments become easier. If you are a confident test taker and hate busy work, choose this class. I enjoyed the class overall.

very good and entertaining teacher, but she tends to ramble in lecture. class is made up of 3 proctored online exams (75%) and 11 online open note quizzes w/ 1 dropped (25%) and no final. there is a provided textbook, and exams usually had material that wasn't explicitly covered in class/textbook. no extra credit and no makeup assignments.

Pros: I don't care about the slander, she is the funniest prof ever. Makes my day so much more fun. You cannot sleep in her class because it is so entertaining. However, she is opinionated and has some hot takes. All of the quiz and test material is from lectures, not textbook. You have to go to lectures to do well. Barely any homework.

Very funny prof, probably the best imo for this class. I feel like she has become very paranoid about cheating, which is kinda annoying for regular students when she obsessed about it and accuses people randomly, but by the end of the semester she had chilled a bit

Grades were made up of only 3 online exams worth 75% and 11 online quizzes worth 25% and she drops one. Study the graphs and go to lectures as she pulls test questions from lectures. The SI leader really helped review for exams and quizzes. Her lectures are interesting, and she goes on rants. She rounded my 76 to a B :)

If you have common sense and attend all her lectures and take notes on what she says, it's an easy. She often makes fun/sexist jokes which is honestly uncomfortable. That type of humor should be allowed at a comedy club, but not an academic setting. Also her last exam was very hard, I usually got As on other exams but last one I got a C.

Sometimes she derails into political rants during lecture, still a fun time though. She provides you with the "textbook" but you do just fine without it if you attend lecture. She basically sums up the textbook during lecture. Your grade is made up of quizzes and exams, they're easy if you paid attention in class - I never studied and got As.

I loved the class! My advice is read the textbook. Every thing is in there. I would honestly do nothing but procrastinate until the night of an exam and my saving grace was reading the textbook. And quizzes are open note! It was my favorite class but of course everyone everyone learns differently, so take one day at a time. You'll do great!

Professor Lim was the greatest professor for 207! A very caring teacher, with great/memorable lectures, and the information was taught very clearly and well. ATTEND ALL CLASSES AND GO TO OFFICE HOURS! She is a very approachable teacher who is always willing to help. Try in the class and you will have success, she knows who is there and who's not.

I had mixed feelings. She was funny and I enjoyed her class, but her tests were a bit odd. I disputed some questions with her and she basically said I was right but she was too stubborn to change the answer. I don't get the ppl saying read the book, I rarely did and learned what I needed from lecture. Good choice if confident in POLS due to no HW.

She's super funny and out of pocket when it comes to teaching this class, if you get easily offended don't take it. You have to go to class as her test are lectured based and she changed it from being online and at home to being in person during class. 3 tests & 11 quizzes (she drops one), its not a hard class just show up and take notes!

Lim's lectures were hilarious and she taught in a very engaging manner. She is super funny, which definitely helped me remember the content. I would definitely recommend going to class, it will be hard to pass without hearing the lectures, but very doable if you show up.

Great Professor. She only gives quizzes after each chapter (no homework or exams). There's an optional final that will drop your lowest quiz grades and she's willing to help you with it if you ask. I recommend going to her lectures bc a lot of the content on the quizzes is based on what was said in class. I also suggest reading the textbook

Lim gets a bad rep, but in reality she was great for 207. She does not care about majority opinions and speaks her mind. There is a quiz after every chapter but its open printed notes. Optional final too of an infographic project. You could honestly skip almost every lecture. Loved her would recommend.

She makes the lectures very funny and interesting. This class consisted of 11 open note quizzes and an option final. It is very easy to get an A if you organize your notes correctly. Though attendance isn't required, the quizzes are heavily depending on her lectures.

I loved her!! Apparently, last semester she was doing actual exams that were impossible, but she changed that up, and now we were only graded on 11 open note quizzes as well as an optional final project. She's hilarious and very passionate about what she's teaching.

There were 11 quizzes which were open note, and they were easy if you go to class and take good notes. Reading the textbook also really helps. Her lectures are really funny and she always cracks a lot of jokes.

Really funny, no final just a quiz every week extra credit at the end of the year to drop some of ur lowest quiz grades lectures arent that useful so make sure to use the charts/graphs from the textbook tbh just read the textbook

Professor Lim is actually a pretty good teacher. She incorporates stories that help you remember the concepts and tries to engage the class. There are sometimes it is difficult to understand every word she says but you can understand what you need to. Not a ton of grades just quizzes so read the textbook along with listening to the lectures:)

Dr. Lim is very funny and in general does a decent job lecturing. The entire grade was composed of 11 open note quizzes and an optional final which replaced the lowest 3 quiz grades, so easy to do well. POLS 207 is a very easy, common sense based class. Only complaint is that some of the quiz questions would be poorly written or didn't make sense.

Dr. Lim is hilarious. History-type classes normally bore me but I was consistently engaged. Attendance is not mandatory but if you miss class, you'll miss important information for the quizzes (also read the textbook). There are 11 quizzes--one is dropped--and my class had an optional extra credit assignment. I would definitely recommend!

11 quizzes make up your total grade with optional final, forces you to study weekly/bi-weekly. Great lecturer. Need to study for quizzes. If u r decently smart and only attend lectures and study the slides, expect to make 80s on the quizzes. If you read the textbook and take notes in addition, expect to make 90-100s. Did both. Either way, take Lim!

I really liked the way Dr. Lim structured the course. It consisted of a bunch of weekly quizzes, 11 to be exact, which make up your entire grade, with the lowest score being dropped. No homework, no exams. The textbook is fairly enjoyable to read. Dr. Lim is fairly funny in class, and this is one course that I recommend to everyone

She is so brat summer-coded. Super funny. She ate down. I would kill to have a gossip session with her. Amazing teacher.

The textbook used was good yet had a lot of errors. Aside from the errors in the textbook, the class was pretty good. Very quiz-heavy and the lectures were always fun to go to. Dr. Lim is very funny. Overall, POLS207 was a good class with her.

Quizzes are a little tricky but overall class is pretty easy and no homework or tests.

A good proffesor. She's very blunt and can crack some good jokes, which I personally appreciate. Most of the grades in her class come from weekly quizzes, so it's important to stay on top of the material. Warning: If you can't be mature and get upset/disrespetcful when someone has a different political view, this is not the professor for you.

Dr. Lim's class is easy to take to get your POLS credit out of the way. There are weekly quizzes that makeup 100% of your grade and then 6 extra points from mandatory assignments. The quizzes are mostly based on her lecture and slides. Attendance is not mandatory, but it does help with the quizzes. Overall, it is a very easy class!

I had professor Lim for POLS 207 this semester and it went very well for me. There are no exams in this course, so we have a quiz about every other week. The quizzes are open note (printed or written), so if you take good notes and review the material before the quiz that day you will be fine.

grades are based on 11 quizzes. lowest quiz is dropped and there is extra credit available. the key to succeeding is ATTENDING LECTURE; for at least the first 7 quizzes you can take only lecture notes and get 90+ on quizzes. after, take txtbook notes. overall minimal workload! you will get an a if you just go to lecture.

The class was not that tough, but you do need to do weekly chapter readings(boring and with many typos) and go to her lectures in order to do well on the quizzes. There are no exams or finals, instead, the grades are comprised of 11 quizzes and three core assessments that you can choose to complete to get six extra points added.

Class is mainly graded by 11, 20-question quizzes, but the lowest quiz grade is dropped at the end of the year, along with an optional final to replace 2. The professor is very political and clearly shows it during lectures, but if you're mature enough to look past that, you'll find her lectures very enjoyable.

She doesn't give any homework, and the entire class grade is based on 11 quizzes (all open note/open book), with one drop. There is also an optional final to replace the two lowest quizzes, and 6% of bonus points. The textbook can be difficult to read, but it is free.

I stopped going to lectures (only showed up for weekly quizzes), but she seemed funny the first 2 weeks. Honestly, print the textbook and slides. That's all the quizzes are, it's not hard plus she has the optional final project (infographic) that replaces 2 quizzes and she drops one quiz grade. If you do bad in her class, that's your fault...

If you try in her class, you will be fine. Everyone I talk to that attends lectures did perfectly fine without studying outside of class. Dr. Lim is very funny and brings up interesting ideas in her lectures that I enjoyed, even as a STEM major. I loved her class very much and would sit in it again if I could.

TAKE LIM. This class is really easy and is an easy way to get a good grade. Lim's lectures are very boring but in the end its still easy. the course is 11 quizzes with the lowest being dropped. if you do a project at the end the next two lowest can be dropped and there is 6 pts of extra credit. quizzes are open notes and open book so super easy.

No homework, 11 chapter quizzes (lowest dropped), 3 core assignments (basically completion grade essays, +2% to the total grade per assignment). 20 questions per quiz, open paper/print notes (lockdown browser). Amazing lectures with a statistics based approach to political science. Easy A if you can do basic statistics and pay attention in lectures

Not bad at all, lowest quiz got dropped and they were all open note. Make sure you bring all the notes for your quiz because questions specifically refer to data that you wouldn't be able to remember which is why it is open note. The CAA also boost your grade, at times you do have a quiz every week but to me that is better than tests

This class was so free. No exams, no homework (although she's allegedly adding Packback). 11 open-note quizzes (just have to print out your notes/textbook), and the lowest quiz gets dropped. Textbook is uploaded as a pdf on canvas. She lets you attend any of the three sessions as long as there isn't a quiz. She is really funny / out of pocket too

Make sure to go to lectures and take notes. She's a very entertaining lecturer. I reccomend printing out/opening the chapter slides on an iPad before class and taking notes on there. Super useful because quizzes (the only grades in the class) are open note. Overall just a super fun lecturer with a very weird grading style.

idc what anyone says Lim was a great professor; her lectures were interesting and funny, and the only assignments we had were 11 open-note quizzes. The quizzes are pretty easy, but I recommend you def read the corresponding chapter in the textbook she gives you, bc she pulls a few questions from it of topics she doesn't fully cover in class.

People who don't like her are haters. 11 open note quizzes, a few extra credit things, no final. Just take notes in lectures, skim the textbook chap, then print it and your notes for the quiz. People who fail this course are gonna really struggle in future classes. Just put in like 15% effort and you're good.

There's only 11 open note quizzes graded in her class and make sure to write down every single detail she says in class or you'll fail. The slides and the book aren't enough for you to do well on the quizzes so make sure you actively listen and take notes in class.

Dr. Lim is funny people who don't like her are just super sensitive. Her lectures are long but funny, take notes and you will get an A easy. She now has 4 exams, ALL OPEN NOTES. If you don't get at least a high B in this class it is your own fault. She is blunt but not mean. I would take her for POLS 207 over and over again if I had to. Take her!

I love her lectures. They were so funny and entertaining. She can be a little cut-throat and straightforward but overall, a pretty good prof. Weekly quizzes and the final was an infographic. She lets you get a cheatsheet.

only 4 exams, all open note. an infographic can replace ur lowest exam grade but she approves ur topic before accepting it. she uploads slides but exams are lecture based. u can only fail the class if u don't go to class.

She posts the slides online but most of the quiz content comes from her lectures so I'd definetley recommend attending class. She lets everything that counts for a grade be open note and offers opportunity for extra credit. Additionally, her lectures are super funny and easy to understand. Had a great time in her class!

The most engaging lecturer I've had, she is very blunt and to the point. While the lectures are important for tests, the chapters are much more helpful. DON'T TAKE THIS IF YOU'RE A BAD TEST TAKER.

Dr Lim is SO funny. Her lectures are super engaging and she's an excellent speaker. Her tests are the only assignment she really has in the class. They're not too bad as long as you take good notes, but you MUST take good notes to do well. The best advice is to write notes, rewrite slides, and add her images to your notes.

Very funny. Could use your notes for the quizzes, which were pretty easy.

It is four test, evenly weighted and open note. She gives you the option to do to extra assignments to add up to four points on top of your grade. If you go to class, the tests are so easy it hurts and sometimes she cracks some jokes in class which makes it fun.

Switched from an 11-quiz format to a 4-exam format. If you pay attention and take notes on the packet during class, an easy A, especially if you are familiar with politics. She is liberal, so if that bothers you, you should take someone else. Her early lectures were interesting, but got boring later on.

4 MC exams at 25 percent each, open note. imma be honest im an engr major and needed this class for credit and it was a perfect fit for me lol. her lectures are funny, and the content on the exams is pretty explicitly covered in her exams. I was pretty bad at attending/taking notes but still got by just fine using her slides.

Pay attention in class and write down statistics/relationships shown in graphs. She wants you to understand the information rather than memorize it. Super easy if you listen to what she's trying to say and on exam day use notes as a "logic checker" or to read off a numerical stuff being asked. Go to class, take notes, think through the question.

4 tests worth 100% of the grade, open note, closed internet, and 4% extra credit is available and easy to get. I never read the book, and got an A on every test. They are easy if you go to class and take good notes. Overall, she was a good and easy professor, but she is liberal and insensitive, so if that bothers you, take someone else

If you put in effort, you'll be fine. The material is manageable but her questions can be confusing. She is a great person and attempts to be funny at times. She definitely has some strange rants and opinions on some things but she genuinely attempts to make the material relatable. The work that you have to put in is still less than other profs.

super funny and out of pocket. mostly stats based but some rants thrown in there by her. 4 exams, 4% extra credit, nothing else. open note open book exams, make sure you understand the charts/graphs and put her entire slideshow in your notes.

Graded only by 4 tests, but they are the easiest tests in the world if you just show up to class and feverishly type away at what she's saying, even if it makes no sense. Idk how people find this class hard. Her lectures and powerpoints seem like they would not prepare you at all for the exams, but they somehow really do. Hilarious too.

Dr. Lim is hilarious and is a great lecturer. She made the course material engaging and easy to understand. There are only four exams and an optional final so the class if very test heavy, but the exams are open note and if you take notes in lectures you should be fine. Going to lectures and taking notes on her slides to print out is helpful.

Professor Lim was so good, she is very funny and makes the lectures very interesting. Grading was 4 tests only and no final but the tests were easy if you went to the lectures. Overall great professor, I lover her.

Lectures are funny and engaging.

Not bad, but not easy and isn't the most understanding. My best tip is go to lecture and write EVERYTHING she says (open note tests). She'll say if she says something that will be on the test. Do the best you can on the first test bc you don't want to take the final. You can go to any section she has. She puts random textbook questions on tests fyi

So funny, packbacks are easy, print out slides for the test, and go to lecture, and she is chill.

Extremely funny, great lecturer, but is very much liberal-leaning and kinda offensive towards conservatives. The statistics and data are against it, and she isn't afraid of debating. Exams are 30% each, first two open note and last one closed. Attendance not mandatory but lectures and graphs are IMPORTANT in exams. Didn't use textbook, did ok.

She says some wild stuff, very entertaining lectures, may not be the best teacher but I definitely don't fall asleep. I just play clash whenever she goes on tangents and I got away with not reading the textbook for the first two exams.

Funny and entertaining lectures. She doesn't want to make this class easy, which is kind of annoying but as long as you show up to class, take notes, have an understanding of the graphs, and print out notes before exam, you should be fine. Exams are worth 90% of grade, but are open note and aren't too bad if you make yourself familiar with material

Professor Lim is hilarious! While attendance isn't mandatory, you will definitely want to attend lectures for her humor and insight into the material. This class is based on 3 exams, worth 90% of your grade. The tests are open book & open note. If you attend lectures, thoroughly read the book, and pay attention, then you are all set!

Dr. Lim is very caring and hilarious prof, she really shows that she cares about her students. However, her class was pretty difficult because 90% Exams, 10% Packbacks and if you aren't a good test taker and need more leeway then DON'T take her. Her exam are lecture and textbook heavy, so go to lectures, her lectures are entertaining so go anyway!

Dr. Lim knows her stuff, and she's very good at explaining things if you can listen around her heavy accent. Her lectures take wild turns sometimes and everyone gets a good laugh. As long as you go to all her lectures, read the textbook, and take lots of notes, you'll be fine, because 90% of your grade rests on 3 (usually open-note) exams.

This is a mandatory class for all majors, don't be scared from the other reviews. Recommend skipping the textbook, and instead going to lecture and writing out exactly what she says on the slides. Entertaining lectures, 90% of grade from 3 tests, 10% packback participation, no final. I enjoyed her class more than I thought I would, and learned lots

Dr. Lim was a solid professor, made a usually pretty boring UCC class quite enjoyable. 90% of your grade is based on tests, but they are open note. Other 10% weekly Packbacks. Tests are completely lecture based, she will also provide you with the textbook online. As long as you understand the graphs/tables in her slides, the class will be a breeze.

Prof Lim makes this UCC pretty enjoyable. She gives engaging lectures and clearly cares about the content. Most of the content you will probably already know if you paid attention in high school or are somewhat engaged in modern politics. The grading of the class can make it a little hard to get an A, but if you pay attention you'll be alright.

Really funny professor: I genuinely enjoyed going to her lectures. That being said, I don't recommend her if you're a bad test taker- I am and I struggled with her format of having 3 tests worth 90% of your grade. Make sure you pay attention during lecture and take notes- her exams are open note.

11 discussion Q's (10%) and 3 Exams (30% each) w/ no Final. First 2 exams were open note & super easy if you went to lecture (some Q's weren't on slides, only spoken), last 1 she had to leave town & it was online w/ lockdown browser & no notes, but it's still easy if you look at your notes beforehand. Hilarious prof, would recommend & take again.

POLS207 in general is an easy class. Her tests might be slightly harder than others, but they are also open note so make sure you take good notes in class. Also, attendance is not mandatory but show up to class and pay attention and the class is very easy. She is also very funny and lovely as a person.

Dr. Lim was awesome and a joy to take for POLS 207. The first 2 tests were open note and then because she had to leave town, the last one was closed note. She doesn't post lecture recordings but as long as you show up to lecture and take good notes, you'll do just fine on the tests since they are word-for-word her lectures.

Easy class I showed up to lecture but to be honest you don't need to. As long as you do the kahoots/waygrounds the SI gives out before the exam half the exam is the same as it. 1st exam was the hardest and it got easier from there. Only thing is there is three exams with a total of 90% of your grade the other 10% is a free hundred completion grade.

Professor Lim is amazing, she is very funny and knowledgeable about what she teaches. Her first 2 exams were open note and honestly, as long as you good notes and actually showed up to class and paid attention, it is very easy to get an A. Attendance is not mandatory but her in-person lecture makes it super easy to understand the concept!

Very funny professor, lectures are pretty engaging but attendance isn't mandatory and you can definitely get away with skipping a couple and being fine. 3 exams (first two were open note) and all of them were pretty easy. I'd read the textbook and take notes, also look at past students' quizlets and the SI's study resources before exams.

Super light class. It's 90% 3 exams + 10% Packbacks which are a free 100. Exams are open note. If you go to the SI session the day before and do the Waygrounds/Kahoots, you're genuinely set. No joke the last exam I counted like only 8 questions that were different from the wayground. I went to like 4 lectures total and got an A+ on every exam.
