Winter 2020 - This wasn't a super difficult class, and everything you need to know for the midterm and final is in the daily reading assignments. Her lectures consist of a class discussion about the readings, so basically you sit there and listen to your fellow poli-sci majors give their opinions on the daily topic (you can imagine what that's like), while she writes a point on the board every once in a while. If she didn't pass around an attendance sheet every lecture and grade based on participation, I wouldn't have gone to any of the lectures. Even though the lectures are pretty boring, she's super helpful and will answer any of your questions at office hours. The midterm and final are just in-class essays, and she lets you print out all of the readings to use while you're taking the exam. Just study and print out the readings, and you'll be golden. Overall, this class is pretty interesting if you want to learn about China's foreign policy, but your time might be better spent in a more engaging class.
