Reviews of professor Emily Mokros

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
A lot of the class is based around the readings she has you do everyday, which are anywhere between 20 to 180 pages, plus a book. If you LOVE Chinese history, then definitely take this course. If not, it'll be the most boring class you've ever had.

Her class was too difficult for the 200 level- it was my lowest level class and I worked hardest for it. Most of the test material is on her lectures, not powerpoints nor the readings. I went to her office hours several times and had a difficult time connecting with her and didn't see it improving my grade. Take an easier 200 level history class.

Dr. Mokros's HIS 355 was very fun and not too difficult of a course. The class is divided into 3 parts: lecture, roleplay game, and final exam prep. The roleplaying game was more fun than expected and easy to get into. Lots of reading is necessary to do well. Dr. Mokros herself was very helpful and accommodating when needed!

She gives great feedback for your papers, but she'll make you work for a decent grade. Her grading isn't overly harsh but defiantly a little harder than average, but showing up to class and participating helps a lot. As far as her lectures go, if you like Chinese History I am sure you'll enjoy but if not the class can will feel boring.

Dr. Mokros was great! She did a great job keeping up with her students and never let anyone fall behind. Was very understanding of my absences!

I really liked Dr. Mokros' class. Her lectures are interesting to anyone even slightly interested by the material, and the homework isn't too bad. She does assign a lot of reading, but a skim is usually good enough for class discussion. My only complaint is that her essay assignments don't have a lot of freedom and are pretty rigid.
