Spring 2022 - i'm not even done with this class yet but i'm just gonna proceed to say i hate it. The professor was really passionate about what she teaches but i stopped going to lecture after week 2. i'm a stem kid so maybe that's why i can't really dive into any of the creative literary works/media that she presents in class, but as an asian american myself (who is relatively connected to their mother culture) i had zero incentive to learn about anything she shows us. the essay prompts are insanely vague and boring. i live a colorful life and have a lot of cultural stories to tell but the prompts do not allow me to do that. instructions are always super unclear. professor is bad at technology. all she does is read through powerpoints & you basically have to figure out all of the writing/analysis stuff on your own. 0/10 would not recommend.

I cannot stand this woman. I had her for some Asian American Women class and it was fine, not too hard because we had a TA. Then I had her for another class and she gave me D's on all my reading response (and I normally get A's in other classes) and then she turned me in for plagiarism because I had ONE sentence that was similar to wikipedia. The head of my department said she turns in someone for plagiarism every quarter. She is also the most annoying speaker in the world.

Summer 2018 - Take this class, pay attention, and learn something. Best professor you can take this class with and highly recommend if you need writing credit. Sure there's a lot of reading, but you have plenty of time and most of it is useful. If anything, the books are more important than the assigned reading, and if you know someone who already took the class, it's the same.
