He is an excellent professor. the quizzes are easy to pass if you read the textbook. although his course is online, he always positively interacts with students and gives more useful suggestions. I like discussion part in this class, since i learned more Chinese culture from other classmates.

This professor so cool. Sun has study guides so you know the answers to the quizzes ahead of time. It's a lot of questions on the study guide and not a lot on the quizzes, but you don't have to read the whole book you can just look for the answers. There is one paper that is a little hard, but you have weeks to get it done.

Honestly, Dr. Sun has been one of my favorite professors at CBC and I have taken multiple classes because Dr. Sun cares so much about the success of each student, and doesn't just want you to turn things in, but wants you to actually learn something. If you fail a class from Dr. Sun it's because YOU didn't even try. Truly. Dr. Sun has been great.

Sun is very clear about the expectations of the class. There's a book that you have to write a report on but they're interesting and it makes you genuinely think about the people involved. Easy quizzes and all the answers are in plain sight in the books. Make sure you keep up with the chapters each week that you have to read.

Hands down easiest professor I've ever taken at CBC, and I'm in my second year with many classes taken. Responds to emails within minutes, fast (and super easy) grader, drops the lowest quiz and reaction paper grade. I missed a whopping 2 points for the entire quarter. Great class to pair with a more difficult science/lab class. HIGHLY recommend.

I took the class online, but I could tell Professor Sun was very friendly. The class requires a lot of reading, weekly quizzes, and only a few papers. If you take this class, be prepared to read and write because some quizzes have short answer questions. NOT a tough grader. It is a fairly easy class, but it does take some time out of your schedule.

I love this class! Dr. Sun is an amazing teacher who genuinely cares about his students. He explains everything clearly and makes sure we know what's expected. I've learned so much and would take it again if I could. It's an easy A as long as you stay dedicated and finish your work on time.

This professor was absolutely amazing. 10000% would take again. His course was very well-organized, and the methods he used to lecture were extremely effective as long as you paid attention. Even if you took his 8:00 am class like I did, it's extremely easy to digest the information he is giving the class. 10/10.

As long as you complete discussions and quizzes on time, you will get an A! Very nice teacher. Dr. Sun will send out messages on Canvas regarding current E. Asia-centric events, such as the release of new movies. I found her to be a very engaging professor, and the class discusses genuinely interesting information.

When I came into this class I wasn't expecting to really enjoy it but it was a good experience. He doesn't give to much work, as he only does a Weekly discussion every week and a weekly quiz and then a Paper for the midterm and final. Instructions were clear, he offered good feedback and it's a easy class as long as u read the material.

I've taken two of Dr. Sun's online classes now and loved them both! The hardest thing is staying on top of the reading, but as long as you carve out time for it you'll be fine and it will be worth it - the quizzes take prompts directly from the books. You really learn a lot, and he's very understanding and clear in quiz/discussion instructions.

Dr. Sun has a well organized course with most necessary resources you will need. Most course content for quizzes and such is found in very clear PowerPoint lectures. You might have to buy one or two books, but they are relatively cheap. Overall great class so far and Dr. Sun actually communicates with students. Just don't procrastinate.

I have taken this professor once before, and the reason I took him again is because I really loved how his online classes were set up. It totally works with my schedule, and while the weekly assignments do take time to complete, they are very simple tasks overall and the expectations are clear for what to do.

Dr. Sun is amazing, and the course itself is incredibly interesting. The class isn't very hard, but the content can get heavy, as one of the main discussion topics is the Nanking Massacre during World War II. Just make sure to put effort into the work and turn it in on time and you will easily pass the class.

This is a very online heavy class along with some required reading. Nothing too extreme, if you can balance your schedule properly the work is enough for you to learn without being swamped with work. Dr Shun is a very grader and the times I have missed points he points out why and next time I get the points if my work improves.

Second time taking Professor Sun, he's such a joy to talk to! Good online class, I prefer engaging in his in-person lectures from the previous class I took with him, but I just like in-person classes. Weekly discussions and quizzes, plus two papers--all from the books. My understanding grew a lot about Asian American history in the United States!

Dr. Sun is great! he provides everything you need to pass the class with an A+. All you have to do is try, he is lenient and will work with you. It was a very reading heavy class, but you are given ample amounts of time and videos from PBS as support. Overall, he has been one of the best professors I've had at CBC and I highly recommend him.
