She's a little hard to understand, but very friendly and knowledgeable. Her grading scale is very easy also!

Dr. Lan is a great teacher if you take the time to get to know her. She can be hard to understand, but she really cares about her students and is very flexible with scheduling of assignments and taking extra time to help students who need it.

Even though I didn't know what the course title meant in the beginning...it is a class that really makes me think, and I really like Lan because she is interested in what she's teaching.

Nice teacher, tries to help. She is difficult to understand, and sometimes you're not really sure what she wants... but she is very nice. Grading is neither tough nor really easy.

English is not her first language. If anything she compensates by over enunciating most every word. I understand her better than I do some other professors who only know english and mumble alot. Includes Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, take this class if your a Philosophy major filling ENG on snap.

Dr. Lan is, like everyone else mentioned, difficult to understand, but a good person and prof nonetheless. She doesn't give A's away though. Every A paper I handed in was an A by only a few points. She's very sociable, so as long as you do your work, go to class, and talk to her, you will do fine.

She's not a hard grader...I got an A on every paper. I didn't think it was unclear as to what she wanted on the final drafts--she goes over it like 20 times, and if you still have questions, she'll clarify it.

she was really funny! There were some pretty pointless exercises. She was a semi-hard grader, and some of the things she graded were really dumb.

She is easily one of the most intelligent teachers I have ever had. She is always willing to help, finding it necessary to clarify assignments and texts. If you do not understand an assingment or text, it is your fault for not asking questions.

She is very very nice and helpful. She is a pretty easy grader as long as you get everything done. She lets you turn in papers late and also gives a lot of days off.

Teaches different way of writing. A little confusing at first but its pretty easy once you get the hang of it. She is very helpful. 4 papers only(3 are 500 words or less). By the time you do all the homework exercises the papers are nearly written. Easy Grader. Lots of time off- at least 10 days. No final/midterm. Very flexible due dates.

She does whatever she can to help students understand the coursework, and I think she does a very good job. Her expectations are clear and she grades very fairly.

I thought she was great. She sets aside a lot of time to help students so if you're struggling its really your own fault if you don't get help. She may be confusing at times but just ask questions, she'll clear it up for you. If you do poorly with her its your own fault because she is always willing to help.

At first, she can be a little hard to understand (accent/vague assignments), but she will clarify when you ask her. Class is usually painfull easy but comes with a good payoff on your grade and understanding of writing & rhetoric in general. She's personable and kind...exactly the type of professor that can make a difference in people's lives.

It should be known that Dr. Lan is extremely into theory and she will find some way to incorporate it. That said, some of her assignments will be confusing to those who have no background in theory. However, with an open-mind and some critical thinking the assignments are actually quite simple. All you need is effort...

One of my favorite professors! If you need extra help she is always willing to meet out of class. I have taken 3 courses with this woman and have learned a TON!

Dr. Lan is a great teacher. One of those professors that teaches in such a way that you don't even realize you are learning. She gave pretty easy assignments, but they were very helpful, as was she.

great teacher...requires you to come in for conferences but they totally help your paper. cancels class alot. sometimes hard to understand, but she is the nicest lady

This class can be dull if you don't have a group that participates and discusses, but luckily for me, my classmates were interested in the topic and enriched the class so much more. Lan is a great teacher and tries to remain unbias towards certain schools of rhetoric- it's a great philosophy and english class altogether.

Haxia gives a great introduction to rhetorics and the various schools of thought that go along with those schools. She does have you do daily writing on what you read at the end of the discussion, so it isn't too bad. She is very smart if you read and pay attention you should learn something.

sweet lady, easy class... get class off often for one-on-one conferences which make your papers easy

Dr. lan is the epitome of sweet old chinese lady. She is super nice, but sometimes it is hard to understand what she wants you to do. 3 of the 4 papers are under 500 words and there is usually allot of in-class work time. Has a meeting with you to go over paper and cancels class often. Didn?t learn much, but was really easy! Such a sweet lady.

She tells you how she wants you to do work, gives you some what of free range of what to write on. She is overall a great teacher and I did learn from her. Easy, so if you need a easy A in writing and learn some new tricks on the way take her.

there are two ways to look at Dr. Lan's class: complain about her assignments and do poorly, or just try to understand that she wants you to be a better writer and do well. Papers were hard, but doable. Ask questions!! She is here to help!

The subject matter is pretty difficult to grasp at first, but Dr. Lan does an impeccable job at explaining things in a very clear, understandable way. She is so enthused and obviously enjoys what she does so the class ends up being easier than it really could be with a different prof. Lots of writing but interesting topics!

Dr. Lan is the best English professor I have ever had! Her classes are philosophically-based, which is probably why the gen. ed. students are giving her bad reviews. She is one of the only professors that was able to challenge me. She is very intelligent and I recommend her!!

Dr. Lan lays everything out for you. She tells you at the beginning, if you take her advice and do what she says, you will get an A. 4 papers no longer than 3 pages each. No final. She even took my late submissions. Papers aren't original because she basically writes them for you. Very boring class but very easy A.

Nice lady, but expects you to do your work the exact way she wants you too which gets really repetative and annoying at times. But in the end...she means well.

Very easy class. 4 papers and no longer than 500 words each. She tells you exactly how to do everything and you do it together in class. I had the 7:45 class and I didn't even mind it. Shes very nice and is willing to help you whenever you need it. I recommend her!

It makes me angry to see students ripping Dr. Lan apart. She is an extremely challenging teacher- she has very high expectations for her students but also gives them the means to achieve well. My favorite professor at UWL.

Dr. Lan is one of the sweetest teachers you will ever meet. She really cares about her students and knows her research! TAKE HER CLASS! She has so much knowledge to share with you!

This class could probably be defined better as a philosophy of rhetoric course, which is awesome. The ideas and discussion facilitated by Dr. Lan go far beyond just writing. She's a great professor - you'll learn a lot.

She is very helpful. The papers that we wrote were very difficult and it took a lot of patience with her and yourself to fully understand them. With each paper you get an individual conference with her that takes place of class. The class is not mandatory but if you miss it then you will be lost. She is flexible with your schedule and will extend

I personally enjoyed Dr. Lan's class. She wants a very specific organization to your planning of papers, but once you understand it is very easy. Her conferences for every paper also help to clarify what she wants for the paper, if you are still confused just ask. Since she tells you exactly what she wants, it is very easy to get a good grade.

Sometimes she words things weird in lecture, but if you ask for help she is always very helpful and tries her best to help. She gives you a lot of time in class to do most of the assignment. You have an assignment due every night you had that class, but she gives you plenty of in class time and attendance does count in your score

I enjoyed and learned from this course. If you need a writing intensive course, TAKE THIS ONE! It was brilliant. Her format is one group discussion (due Thursday) and one partner discussion (due Monday) each week, and they have clear questions that you answer using the book. The book is very easy to understand. Only two papers: Midterm and Final.

Her accent is not difficult to understand at all. Pros: extremely caring, although she may not seem that way. If you're good at writing, this class will be easy. Tip: Take notes during her lectures rather than daydreaming, they'll help you immensely later on. Cons: You need to be good at writing. She probably won't learn your name

I LOVED professor Lan. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met. This class wasn't to hard. There was daily homework, but it usually only took me 20 minutes to complete. Really cares about students and wants to make this class as easy as possible. She will set you up to succeed. Loved her and hope I can take her again!

Dr. Lan is a kind and genuine woman who not only cares about the content being created by the students but the overall effect it has on them. Earlier in the semester I was struggling with the workload, she personally met with me and I gained an understanding. The course has a lot of pieces to it, but she holds the answers and is willing to help.

Dr. Lan was a great professor for this class. She was accessible and very helpful if I had any questions. The class was a lot of reading and writing but the way she structures it makes it super manageable.

She really helps with any questions you have, and goes into great detail to make sure you are getting the help you need!

Lan was super caring about everyone's circumstances this semester. She was nothing close to a tough grader. If you put in what is required in your papers, you will get a good grade. The papers are also not hard at all, if you do most of your work in class you will be set!

Every day you had class you will have homework but this helps you prepare a final draft in steps rather than all at once. Overall I do not like English but professor Lan helped me enjoy and see the purpose in it.

This class is very easy! The lectures are basically work time on papers and she goes over what to fix. She also gives a lot of examples to help revise your paper. If you ever need help, just ask her. She's very kind and thoughtful. Downside is that the homework is due the same day it's assigned, but very doable if you get some of it done in class.

She was super sweet. At first, it might be difficult to understand her but she is very smart with her teaching. 4 papers are all manageable if you go to class. Rarely homework, if you finish work in class. Usually, 50% of class is lecture and 50% is work time. She is very caring and gives good feedback. Would recommend.

Lan was one of the nicest professors I've ever had. She is extremely caring and gives really good feedback on essays. The homework is easy and manageable. There are four essays throughtout the semester and none are over a thousand words. Some times she can be difficult to understand, by I really recommend her.

Prof Lan is a sweetheart and talked over every exam with me before it was due outside of class. HOWEVER, her lectures are long and difficult to follow, and she verbally says a question for the HW each class that can be hard to understand. The readings can be skimmed. There were things in class I could not understand but I BS'd it pretty easily.

She is a very nice person and very involved with students. Every class you can basically go there and just sit and listen to her talk and do your work for that day. It is very chill and if you don't like to participate in class then it is great. She is a very easy grader so as long as you put in effort you will do good.

Professor Lan is very sweet and wants the best for her students. Sometimes she can be hard to understand but she makes sure everyone is on the same track. There is homework due the same day as it is assigned but it is manageable. She gives very good feedback that is helpful.

Professor Lan was amazing. She was super approachable and fun to talk to before class started. I'm going to be honest, sometimes it is hard to understand what she is trying to say but you can tell how hard she is trying to be clear. She is very passionate about the English language and I would 100% take her class again.

She brings you through the papers step by step and makes it clear

Professor Lan is such a sweetheart! She is so caring and always asks the class if we understand her lectures/material. She wants you to do well in the class, as well as outside of it. The exam papers can be hard if you don't go to class and take notes. However, she seems to be a lenient grader if you actively participate and at least try.

Professor Lan is amazing. She cares for her students and is always making sure we understand during lectures. She gives thorough feedback on assignments and really wants her students to succeed. There is homework due the night it is assigned but it is very doable. Overall an amazing professor and I would 100% take her again.

Dr. Lan is a great professor! Homework is due every day after class, but she gives you lots of time to work on the assignments in class. She breaks down the papers into chunks, so they are written over many lectures. It is important to go to class to understand what you need to do, but it can get boring. I would 100% recommend her for ENG 110!

She is very soft spoken, and her voice will lull you to sleep, but as long as you bring an energy drink, you will be fine. For the papers, you have to stay within an incredibly small word count, and she expects lots of detail, so it's hard to give her what she wants. She gives good feedback, and it's easy to get an A as long as you keep up.
