Very nice professor and lenient if you need extensions. I will say there is a lot of work, but it's not hard work. There are weekly dense/long readings and annotations, but I barely read them and just did the notes on a few passages (completion grade). Attendance for class is mandatory as he does take attendance and makes in class activites (usually just an exit ticket type thing). There are short response papers throughout the class and a midterm paper. The final is a group project which you can choose. I decided on the 10-12 page essay with my group and it wasn't bad. Basically, just go to class and its fine.

I took this course in Fall 2022 Pros: + Extremely passionate and knowledgable about Asian American history + Very relaxed if you miss deadlines. If you email him and politely explain your situation, he may grant you a deadline extension on minor assignments. + There are weekly assignments, but they are short and essentially graded on completion. + Overall, a very easy grader Cons: - There are four short response assignments (500 words each), and they are definitely not spaced out over the semester properly. Two of them were due in the same month, with only a week gap between them
