[HSEA W4886] Gender, Passions, and Social Order in China since the 1500's

Despite her young age, Prof. Lean is an incredibly knowledgeable and intelligent professor. She is a very critical thinker and encourages the class to question the texts they read. She is always happy to answer questions about the course material in class and is very accessible in general. At times her reading assignments may be a little bit excessive, but usually we don't get to all the readings on the assigned dates, meaning you have a bit of extra time to complete the readings. She is a tough professor though, and she expects class participation.

Though I'm not as enthusiastic as the previous reviewer, I would have to say that Lean is a pretty good professor. She definitely knows her stuff for this particular class (being that it was her dissertation). She's young and energetic and is definitely willing to help clarify anything you don't understand. However, she tends to unnecessarily use SAT vocabulary in her speech and lectures.

A truly inspiring professor. She knows how to seamlessly intertwine lecture with class discussion. Her lectures are interesting, with a useful outline provided, but she'd definitely not reading out of her notes; she really knows her stuff. All of the students in the class were trying to figure out how to take another class from her. Really - don't graduate unless you have.
