Reviews of professor Evan Medeiros

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not sure why Medeiros is even on this page -- he is a far cry from a real professor. Maybe close to an academic/scholar, but NOT a professor. He being knowledgeable in Asian Affairs and everything does NOT make him a qualified college professor. Super intense class but in the meantime extremely dry. Zero clue as how to organize a graduate class.

A good professor, but a very difficult one. My biggest critique is that I think his grading standards are very vague and opaque -- I would definitely disagree with the below commenter's assessment that he's in any way a "fair" grader. It's a worthwhile and engaging experience if you're interested in the topic, though. Intelligent and accomplished.

The class was well structured and Medeiros pushed students to actively learn & analyze the material (although he does random calling). You will learn a pretty comprehensive amount about Chinese FP from a real expert. Although his views are pretty clearly set, he's a fair, albeit tough, grader on papers and gives good feedback. Accessible OHs.

Professor Medeiros knows a lot about Chinese foreign policy and is a top expert on the subject. His course was tough for sure, but I learned a lot and the course is structured well to cover the history of China's foreign relations, its bilateral relations, and elements of statecraft.
