Took her for SOCL-7226 (wasn't an option on here). She is SUPER smart, she seems like she gets annoyed at points because the students aren't as smart as her. The only reason I would take her again is because I know what she is expecting for participation and writing. But almost the entire class, she is expecting you to speak and not her, no lectureANTH2300 2025-01-10 00:59:59 +0000 UTC
Professor Lee is a good professor and always available for office hours. However, this class is very difficult. The readings are interesting yet very complex, and the papers are very short, yet have to be condensed with information. Essays would take 10+ hours plus and take multiple drafts to earn a good grade. Class is very late heavy with finals.ANTH2305 2024-02-01 21:57:27 +0000 UTC
Really intelligent teacherANTH4580 2017-01-10 13:58:34 +0000 UTC
Very difficult class. She isn't clear at all about what she wants, and she likes everything to be very specific. Things you discuss in class is NOT always what she wants on your papers. Class is four papers, no tests.ANTH2300 2010-12-12 13:29:01 +0000 UTC
Professor Lee is very smart and she cares about students but is a tough cookie. Her lectures are interesting but she is a fast talker. Very hard to take notes. The class is text heavy, readings are dense but interesting. Her papers are 1-2 pages single spaced which annoyed me. overall good teacher but would not take another course with her.ANTH2305 2023-01-24 14:31:41 +0000 UTC
The class is not exactly easy, but is quite interesting. There is a lot of reading for the class. Prof. Lee is very smart, and it is clear that she knows what she is talking about. The material can be really dense, but Prof. Lee is very helpful.ANTH2305 2011-04-25 19:38:55 +0000 UTC
