Reviews of professor Ian Kekaimalu Lee

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This professor was really hard, he required correct Hawaiian spelling, which I feel is unfair, giving 0 past the 1st exam. His questions were also deep cuts. It was really rough for a summer class. He thankfully allowed me to make a paper to make up points. With all that in mind, I barely managed to have a C with 1 week more and 1 exam.

Kumu, what we called him, is an amazing instructor! He truly made complex concepts easy to understand! If you show up, put in the work, you will do fine in this course. Despite being textbook heavy, there is a ton of space to ask questions and grow as a historian and individual. I see myself taking another class of his! I highly recommend!

I took the HWST 281 class this past fall semester and it was amazing. Kumu made every class session easy for me to pay attention to. Attendance and participation matter a lot in this class, but as long as you show up and try, you will pass. Failing students is NOT in Kumu's best interests, he wants you to do well.

He looks a bit strict, but definitely an amazing kumu. He is very intelligent and explains each topic really well, so his lecture is so interesting.
Every class, we have group discussions and we take the exam with the same group. Show up and try your best
I highly recommend his class to take!

Took this labs course through Wai'anae Moku campus. We met at Maili Beach once a week from 6-8:30pm for sunset and looked at the stars. Our only assignments were 4 Kilo Journals where we had to take a photo and write 10 observations every 4 weeks. After 8 weeks, we had to add in weather predictions and journal those predictions and outcomes.

Attendance wasn't mandatory but you could only miss a few classes. Be sure to always be on time, he is big for being on time. Kumu Kekai was fair. Always answered questions, always wanted us to do our best and practice learning our starlines. Took this course at Wai'anae Moku Campus.

This class will open your eyes to different perspectives of the world and as to get in touch with your Hawaiian culture.
