Joyce Mao
HIST
I love Joyce Mao and this course was super interesting. Though a lot of content is covered in this course, Professor Mao keeps her students thoroughly engaged. She is fun and passionate and makes the learning experience exciting.
Mao was the best professor I've had this year. She has a deep passion for the material clearly expressed through her lectures. I have a relatively short attention span but was able to stay engaged for the most part through her 75 minute lectures because of her teaching style. Each lecture consists of presentations that move chronologically through the Cold War era, as well as many opportunities for partner, group, and class discussion. There are very infrequent quizzes/exams (2-3 per semester) that I found to be of slightly above average difficulty. This class contains a good variation of discussion, papers (1 or 2), projects (1 or 2), and quizzes (2-3), that are very manageable if you do the readings and are engaged in class.

Joyce Mao is very enthusiastic about the material and a fantastic lecturer. Most readings come from one book, with some supplemental readings, podcasts, and videos. The readings varied in length but were never extremely long. There was one midterm paper and the final project is an oral history interview project. Course content was interesting and most classes are lecture-based with some discussions.
