Very funny. Reminds me of the war teacher in the cartoon Daria

funny guy, sarcastic tone a lot. does like to shout now and then to make point across. he is not anti-white, it seems that way because of the truth that he brings across in class. he does not white-bash, even though he has all the opportunity too. Very gd

great teacher, has a sense of humor and makes the class fun to learn!

yes, he likes to shout. but hes very funny, and entertaining. hes not ****, as someone mentioned, but he tries to get you to think differently about things. way cool.

He is a very good professor. You have to take alot of notes during lecture, but he makes it interesting. I learned alot about asian culture through this class. You have alot of reading, but this class is great. I recommend taking this course.

The history of whites is anti-minority. We are force-fed the glorified history of whites. That is the truth and ETST is there to educate. Stop whining, you haven't learned anything in class huh?

An energetic professor. Funny. Teaches well. Lots of books to read (about 4). Hw is just to read.

you must do the readings or have a good TA who will explain everything (most won't). he's a good lecture, very sincere, and very approachable if you have a problem.

Great person, very professional

Very funny professor and he is very professional. He makes the class very interesting.

easy to understand, easy to get an A. lectures were not boring, but i dont like the talkshow-like opinion-gathering sessions he has.

he's really funny and easy~!

hes funny but gives way toooo much readings..

Knows the material very well. Approachable. Assigns A LOT of reading, but overall the class is very easy. I got an A.

He is a funny guy who teaches you things about our history that we would never learn outside of this course. It's hard to tell what he wants to focus on for the tests because he emphasizes everything, but he's a very good prof.

he's very animated. he loves this subject so much. he can go hours talking about it. he knows his materials. explains it very well. he even wrote his own books required for his class. his books are somewhat interesting to read. take his class and learn something and get a good grade.

funny guy

Professor Chang is a very good teacher. He keeps the students' interest and he's very funny. I've laughed and cried in that class. If there were a continuance to this class, I'd take it in a heartbeat. This is the only class I found interesting and looked forward to.

he makes the subject very interesting.. but its not a class you can just breeze through

VERY INTERESTING CLASS, THE PROFESSOR IS EXTREMELY COOL, HE KNOWS HIS MATERIAL REALLY WELL. JUST READ SOME OF THE READINGS, PAY ATTENTING N' TAKE NOTES DURING LECTURE, THEN YOU WILL GET A GOOD GRADE

He is a good professor, the tests are all essay questions, pay attention to lecture and discussion and read the books because having lots of facts will help you get a good grade!

His exams are not as hard as you think. His class is pretty interesting and easily understood.

Reallllly Easy...all you have to do is understand general concepts...the TAs grade al lthe exams and all you have to do is know how to BS properly and you've got a Gaurenteed A in the class...very interesting subject matter, and shows good videos to suppliment the readings and lectures.

was pretty easy but i got a bad grade cuz i didnt goto class nor did i study properly for the exams.

very interesting and informative, had much fun in his class

I had him for ETST 5 also and he got me interested in minoring for Asian American studies. Yes, many will say that taking his class is time consuming because of the amount of stuff you have to read, but it's interesting and informative. He's funny and very helpful. I recommend to take him for Asian American classes. He knows his stuff.

teaches very well. doesn't read off anything, just lectures off the top of his mind while following an outline. exams aren't hard, depending on how the TA grades.

He's a good teacher and tried to make his lectures funny. The class itself was rather easy but you definitely will learn a lot.

Cool professor. Thought he seemed a bit conservative at first, probably because of his appearance, but had a good time learning in his class. He really tried hard to get some class participation, but things were the same by the 10th week. However, he ma

Very interesting class. Easy A class if you go to lectures.

Smart guy. He's te fist PhD in ethnic studies in all of the US! A groundbreaker! Smart as hell if you talk to him. Yeah, his class is chill, but you can learn TONS if you actually do what he asks and engage in the class. He's pretty famous in his field I found out.

GREAT prof. The ONLY way to get JUST a "C" is to NOT participate; regardless of your opinion, being an active part of the class get's Chang's attention and you wil do well even if you don't think that you will.

Hella Irresponsible!

very interesting, he is very informed about what he's lecturing. Has passion for what he teaches.

Chang is awesome! His lectures are very helpful, his midterms and finals are from the readings though. Some may think he's difficult, but I think as long as you talk to him and show interest/ effort he will give you a good grade. Attendance is necessary and don't slack on readings.

One of the greatest professors I've ever had at UCR.His lectures stick with you forever and he teaches in a very laid back manner, while still getting his point across every time.There is a really long term paper but theres always enough information to meet the pg req. He's funny, nice, and a great professor!

one of the best professors ever! he is lenient and dedicated to his work. i learned so much even tho i wasn't that interested. overall i enjoyed him a lot!!

Easy Class. Really Good Professor. Just attend discussion and review sessions and you're pretty much guaranteed an A.

really easy class. just read the books he assigns and you should get your A

SUPPPPEERRRR EEAAASSSSYYYY. I NEVER PURCHSASED ANY OF THE 3 ASSIGNED BOOKS .....just read online journals and articles written on the books asssigned.....cake walk....got an A.

Super easy. Just do assigned readings and take lecture notes. Tests are essays or short essays. There is a lenient group project in discussion. I'm 5th generation Chinese and this was a real eye opener on my family history. The book Unsung Hero was a good read and reminded me of playing the Mass Effect series. Haha.

Skimmed assigned text books; did great on exams. Group project w/ 3 essays. Exam short essays and one long essay. Final 2 long essays, and short essays. Sometimes topics are interesting. Very vague syllabus, kind of wings the class. A lot of movies in the 2nd half of quarter. I missed 4 classes and still got an A.

Man, he was amazing as a lecturer and he pushed our buttons in our Intro to Ethnic Studies, the challenged, questioned our values, exposed our prejudice, our racism in a blunt but respectful and somewhat civil way. He was direct. I enjoyed his lecture and class. It was a large class so tutors took care of us and graded our papers.

I actually really liked this professor and my TA was amazing. I don't think this class deserves the bad reviews its receiving. Lecture is mandatory as it ends up on the midterm. No HW or essays just reading the books (online) and its split by weeks on the syllabus. The midterm was very easy and was open note as well as open book. I would take again

I really liked this class and professor. He was very sweet and I enjoyed lecture and discussion. I got away with not having to read the book but this class is graded by midterm,final,and discussion. There was no homework. Midterm was open note and final was 1 cheat sheet multiple choice 100 questions. Don't be worried about taking this class :)
