Gilmartin's great, but the paper sucks. She knows her stuff though.HIST1201 2011-03-09 13:40:39 +0000 UTC

An excellent professor with a stunning command of material, a passion for East Asian History, and delightful lectures.HST150 2009-03-27 20:47:13 +0000 UTC
a lot of homework and projestsHST254 2009-01-21 19:21:08 +0000 UTC
Knows her stuff and obviously has visited Asia multiple times. However, these visits cause her to go off on tangents about her personal experiences and she does not cover all of the material. As a result the end of the lecture is rushed. Extremely helpful.HIST150 2008-12-03 09:47:52 +0000 UTC
Thought I was gonna fail after the first 2 weeks, but then got an A. Just have to show interest by participating in class and going to office hours. She is a really sweet woman who knows her**** and is very passionate about Chinese women's studies.U350 2005-12-09 02:42:56 +0000 UTC
Didn't like the class. A little unorganized (big class).WOMENSSTUDIES 2005-09-06 14:33:19 +0000 UTC
Saved the class from that awful Prof. Burds.REVOLUTNGENDER 2005-08-30 18:31:50 +0000 UTC
Modern China. Takes attendance more often than not. Lecture style, but supplement to the reading. One group presentation required. One map quiz. Two 3-4p papers. Mid-term, which she gives a great review sheet for. 12-15p final, take home. Subject material is interesting. Class is avg difficulty.HST350 2005-04-13 23:01:34 +0000 UTC
She loves what she teaches but when she lectures, she likes to go on tangents and off topic. It's nice that she loves history, but at the end of class, you're left with only half a lecture covered and the rest would be rushed.HST150 2008-11-17 21:41:57 +0000 UTC
East Asian Studies was interesting, but she made it epic. Knowledgeable, and the TAs who assisted were competent too.HST150 2008-10-16 11:05:49 +0000 UTC
