Orion Lewis

Very interesting material and intensive research methods approach to Asian politics. Weekly readings and lectures are manageable but the final project will take up a lot of your time at the end of the semester.
I personally felt like Professor Lewis made no effort to get to know his students, even in such a small class. He repeatedly got my name wrong and at time would repeatedly not call on me in discussion even though participation was a heavy part of our grade. He was an easy enough grader for the projects, but I would not ever take a class with him again. I felt like his lecturing was not engaging and often just repeated from the readings or previous lectures.

Lewis is an extremely accommodating professor who wants his students to succeed. He is usually available for office hours to help develop your final project and usually leads his classes like grad level classes - very much at your own pace and schedule as long as the final gets done.
