I highly enjoyed the topics we covered in this class. Professor Welty is an engaging lecturer, and well versed in issues that pertained to the Asian American community in the past and now. I am selling The New Chinese America for $23, it is in perfect condition. Email me at velmathanh97@gmail.com if interested.

Professor Welty is an amazing professor that is engaging and funny in lectures! This has been one of my favorite classes so far. This is an "easy G.E." where you'll do well only if you're well-engaged and understand the material (which isn't that difficult). The only downside to this is that there is quite a bit of reading accompanying *each lecture*.

Also, I'm selling the three textbooks needed for the class. Just email me at dligotmail@gmail.com

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.

I really liked this class! I took it my first quarter at UCLA and the professor was really passionate about the subject material. I did the readings for the first few weeks and then I slacked off a buuuunch, but if you listen to the lectures in class and take decent notes based on those, you're good to go! Write your essay on something you're passionate about, because the whole class will be way more enjoyable then. :)

take this class! it will feel so rewarding. i'm not quite sure why i got an A- bc i worked really hard and it makes me kinda sad but i still absolutely loved the class, the material, and my TA haha. took it my first quarter of my first year and it made my transition to ucla a little more special.

Professor Welty is so sweet and supportive! She actually tries to know everyone's name, and she gives almost everyone a PTE. I am not an AA major but this class was very manageable. The readings are very interesting and easy to skim through. Professor Welty's lectures are very engaging and interesting, and she is very helpful during office hours. She also lets her students decide which concepts to be on the finals. Professor Welty is one of the most approachable and sweet professor I ever had in UCLA. This class is also very interesting. Highly recommended!

Dr. Welty Tamai is a wonderful professor. Her lectures are clear and easy, and she allowed people to view them for up to 1 week after lecture during this online quarter due to COVID, and I found that really reasonable. She removed the midterm and made the final really reasonable (just answer one of a few broad prompts and reference course material). The essays for this class are fine - I would recommend meeting with your TA to figure out what you need + go over your essay, but everything was pretty reasonable for this class considering it's a Writing II. There's a fair amount of reading for each week for discussion, but you'll be ok if you skim. Overall, I would recommend this class, especially because Dr. Welty Tamai is teaching it!

Professor Tamai was fantastic in helping students transition from high school to college. There was a significant amount of reading, but her lectures made it totally manageable. She offered a "diary" extra credit, and actually read them. She definitely cares about her students and their well-being, and has a super structured class that makes it easy to follow the material.

Professor Tamai is an expert in Asian American studies. She is really passionate about the lectures. I did not miss any of her lectures.
The workload of this course is really heavy. There are tons of readings.
There are three papers in total. You really need to put effort into them. Your TA is going to grade the papers, so definitely talk to her/him.
The final is writing a 5-7 pages paper in 3 hours. It seems scary at first, but professor Tamai gives really general prompts so that if you studied this course, you know what to write about.

I loved this class, and Professor Tamai is amazing! She's really funny, and she shows us videos that are actually helpful and very interesting. You will feel welcome, especially if you are Asian haha because you will learn about your culture. We seriously covered every single Asian culture and it was great.
