Jing Cai ECON418C Expecting an A- Anonymous 02/12/2026	I never went to class and the exams were pretty easy. the slides is really all you need to review to prep for the exam. Your lowest exam score gets dropped and theres 4 of them. The group project was easy an she grades super leniently on them. She is a really nice professor and is super intelligent and knowledgeable about the history of China. The only negative thing about this class is the TA would grade exams and she would often make mistakes grading on every single exam I took. She would also be super unhelpful in answering questions overall. When I would tell her she made a mistake grading my exam she looked at me confused, and acted like I was wrong but then ended up giving me my points back anyway.

Jing Cai ECON418C Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/09/2024	This course on the Economics of China taught me much about how a late-blooming country like China managed to claw its way back into the global limelight and become one of the most highly regarded economies of the modern era. The way that the material was presented, in slideshow format with frequent review questions and ample time for elaboration, allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the subjects that I cared greatly about. It also helped me to cement the ideas presented in class in preparation for the exams. Regarding exams, the exams had questions taken practically straight from the slides/from in-class discussions. This made me feel that my time in the class was valued, and that coming to class actually made a meaningfully positive impact on my grade. Most importantly, however, was how the lectures were handled - I felt like Dr. Cai really cared about my understanding of the material, and taught about relevant, useful topics within the scope of Economics. Would take again, 11/10 class.

There is no quiz, no homework. the exam are 3 pages with 16 questions, about 13 of them are multiple choice and the professor goes over her slide before exam. She grade fast and very responsible for the class. She also upload slides on elms so if you don't want to take note just go through her slides and you will be fine. She is nice! very amazing professor here.
