Evaluation Comments for Joyce Mao

  1. No Comment
  2. Professor Mao is great but class is mediocre.
  3. Professor Mao is new at Middlebury but she's excellent. Her lectures are fascinating, and she's one of the few professors who actually picks relevant, interesting readings rather than assigning useless material. Take this class with Mao!
  4. love mao. take this class if you are interested in us history!
  5. Joyce is such a great professor. She's cool and interesting and very well dressed. After taking this class with her I asked her to be my major advisor. I would recommend this class to anyone.
  6. One of the best classes I have taken at Middlebury.
  7. Joyce Mao is awesome, one of the best lecturers I've had at Midd (she and Bert Johnson could have a lecture-off). You will probably like this class even if you don't like history, because she teaches it so well. She can be occasionally one-sided, but on the really important issues she tries to teach multiple perspectives. Warning: I filled 120 pages (one side only) with notes from this class, and 3 blue books on the final exam. She can be sort of harsh on papers, but they are both 4-5 pages and fairly straightforward.
  8. She is a new professor, but also a very strict grader on papers in terms of style, grammar, syntax etc. But her lectures are really interesting and enjoyable. The readings are generally interesting but only give one side of the story.
