she's a very cool professor. she's helpful if you actually go to her office and ask her question. she may seems hard but at the end, you actually get something out of her class

She's easy to pass.

There was a lot of materials covered. I like her teaching style. She's very good with trying to get the shy people to be involved in class discussion. Tip: definately study her midterm/final study guide and be prepared during the class review sessions.

She's a cool professor and you'll learn a lot.

May not teach 210 anymore. I took it in Fall '01, but I will never forget her. Sarcastic to the point of being caustic, but nice to people she likes. Very outspoken with her personal biases. She did grade fairly, so I had few complaints in the end.

No matter what anyone says she is a great teacher. She will break you and remake you. Changes how you think and she makes you ask the right questions. If you don't like challenges she's not the instructor for you, but if you're up to it, then she will change you life.

She is someone you will love or hate. I worked hard and she taught more in one semester than I had grasped in the prior 4 years. No she is not easy, and she can be snippy, but if you want to grow check her out!!

she's awesome. she grades a lil hard but if you know what you're doing in that class you're good to go. you do gotta work for your grades though. test is pretty much straight from the review sheet she gives before the test.

Everyone says Uba is hard, but once to you get to her class and give her a chance, she is a good if not great prof. Class is fun depending on the ppl in the class. By far one of the best prof. I've ever had. Take her if you want the challenge, if you can't handle it, don't try. Not for weak ppl.

Consider yourself lucky if you ever come across another teacher like Dr. Laura Uba in your whole college experience. It was a definite eye opener for me after taking her classes. Forget about your prejudgments and learn from her teaching skills - where else can you find a professor who does what she does? think outside of the box for a change.

i know a lot of people think she's hard. i mean she's not easy but you actually come out from that class learning something. you may not think you did but you do!! i love her teaching method. her review are so awesome. she pretty much gives you the test!

going in this class, i heard a lot of crap about the prof. but dont' listen to it, because this prof is awesome. not only is she smart, she doesn't take bs (which is good for us so it doesn't waste our time), you gain a lot from the class, and she's FUNNY! just go to class, do the papers (she'll help you with the topics) and keep the papers short.

Ok, you have to write a deconstruction paper in class, which is so freaking annoying!!!!! Other that this class is great! its more of a race and critical thinking mixed with psychological problems of AAS. Other then the paper its pretty easy and laidback class. Besides i belive its the only class that teaches psychology from a Post-Positivist pers.

i read all the comments before i took her class, i was too scared as hell. but she is not that bad. I treated her class as a challenge and i did rise to the occasion. just be ready to learn deconstruction. It is interesting but will not help you in any other class but hers. over all she is pretty cool just keep to her good side. i mean it!

i too read all the comments as was worried about her but it turned out to be one of my fav classes. she's so freaking smart and funny too. you need to learn this whole new method of learning to write the papers, but she teaches you. don't take this if you're a slacker. 3 hw. 2 midterm. 1 final. she also has petpeves. she has sensitive hearing

Dr. UBA is AWESOME! 3 easy HW assignments, term paper, midterm and final. she's sooo smart and hilarious at times. helps when you ask. take notes to do well on midterm and final. has review days for both tests. go to class coz attendance matters. getting e.c. is easy; take a picture with someone she picks from the event and you get 5pts! recommend!

Turn oFF your CELLS! Take great notes, PARTICIPATE in discussions. Speak UP, help others with deconstruction ideas. This is an amazing woman. One day you will tell your kids, you were in one of Dr. Ubas class. She is doing ground breaking work in psychology!

Don't let the 1st day of class scare u. She may seem mean. But, it's actually not bad. I hated her the first day, but I stayed and it was actually worth it. Dis class will help you learn a lot of stuff that you haven't learned in K-12. You might find out that a lot of the information you learn in k-12 was full of BS.Good sense of humor ;) gives EC.

At first I was terrified of her and I thought she was insane but now I wish I could take another class with her. She was also one of the funniest teachers Ive ever had and is always willing to help during her office hours. If you work hard, answer at least one question during review sessions and format your papers the right way youll be fine.

I's half way through her AAS350 class, and think that she's a great prof. I didn't do well on my midterms since i took it late, which is my fault n not hers! Make sure to show her respect by following her simple rules, such as closing her office door, turning off cell phones, not taking breaks during class...etc. cont...

cont.. If you are in school to LEARN great material, then she is the one to take. She's also very funny, and her class is always interesting. Be clear with your statements, since she doesn't accept bs answers/statements. Go to her office hours if you need help, because she's there and willing to help you. I highly recommend this professor!

If you want an easy class, stay away from Uba. However, while she will not accept BS, she will not waste your time either. If you're the kind of student looking for a real challenge, she will teach you how to write better and a lot about Asian American studies without political charge or whining.

This class shall be the death of my GPA! TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH! i admit, she knows what she's talking about, but it is hard! she scares me...

She is hard. However, it is college and classes should be challenging. this one was challenging by far for me for a lower div. Anyhow, she is willing to help you if you show her that you are trying. Participation is a plus in her class. participation really helped me this semester. got a A. will take her again cause you really learn from her.

I like her as a teacher and her beliefs but do not like her tests they are some of the hardest tests I have ever taken in college!

I love this professor!! At first I was really hesitant to take her class due to such negative reviews, but it's really worth it you guys. 2 midterms, 1 final, 2 papers. Tests are not easy, but we do a review prior to taking the tests and tests are basically just copied and pasted from our reviews. Just show up, don't be late, and don't be lazy.

Her class is extremely challenging. It's important to visit her during office hours to ensure a good grade on your writing assignments, she gives to the point feedback. You'll learn to be a more straightforward writer. Participation puts her in a good mood. Test are hard, so study! The most I've learned in one class!

Uba rocks! she can be hard, and may come off in the wrong way, but she's a nice old lady. She gives out a lot of extra credit and knows a ton. I recommend her if you want to learn a lot.

Professor Uba is an amazing instructor. She teaches you issues that you will never learn anywhere else.There are 2 midterms, 2 short papers and a final. She offers a lot of extra credit, just don't be late. This class is an awesome class! You'll learn history through eyes of UBA! Good luck and have fun! :)

She is good teacher and you will learn a lot.She is just hard, so be ready to read and write term papers.

First impression: Intimidating. But I grew to love her. She's really funny and passionate about her field. She's a tough grader though, and deconstruction is a pain, but the class helps you learn to improve your writing/ thinking. Her lectures are fascinating!

Have to put a lot of effort in it but easy if you don't mind putting an effort as you get a lot of extra credit chances to pull up your grade. Scary, but fun professor too if you do your work. :)

Most of the people who fail this class are the ones who just stop showing up five weeks in because they were too intimidated by her. This class is simple to pass so long as you read the syllabus - all the instructions you need are there. Turn in the outlines on time and be prepared and you'll do fine. Don't fight with her, just listen.

This class was fun and interesting also somewhat challenging if you don't study! You definitely will learn a lot. Her tests are pretty simple it's not impossible to gain an A, but you have to study hard. She gives extra credit points later in the semester so pay attention to what she teach in class because she will come back to them.

In the beginning, she will seem intimidating, but don't let that stop you from enrolling in this class. This class is for serious students and those who complain about her are the ones who slack off. She has 2 papers (2 sentences each) and is pure lecture. She is the reason why I'm double majoring in AAS. She is humorous and relatable at times.

Challenging and strict professor, but very knowledgable and enthusiastic about the subject. Not an easy A, but it is possible! I definitely enjoyed this class and learned a lot more than any of my other classes I've taken. If you're looking for a caring and challenging professor, I highly recommend! especially AAS majors and minors.

She may seem strict, but only if she can tell that you have no interest in the subject. As an AAS professor, she is very knowledgeable about the subject and she knows a lot of facts and little tidbits that keep the class interesting; chances are that you will learn at least one new thing, big or small, with every session. If you enjoy AAS, take her

I was very intimidated at first, but she is honestly one of the best professors I've had so far. She's very helpful, interesting, funny, so sweet, and very supportive if you show that you're really trying. Participate in class as much as possible! She's helped me improve my writing immensely! Love her. Not an easy A, but definitely not impossible.

I look forward to her class, believe it or not. Many make her class seem so hard and whatnot, but her lectures are really interesting. She's a very cute and quirky professor who DOES give a lot of reading. BUT HEY. It's college. It won't be too easy. Just read her notes and pay attention in class, guaranteed a good grade. Lots of EC towards the end

Her class is easy. Literally. All you gotta do is show up and participate. If you actually participate & seem interested, you'll get on her good side and boom-- easy A. She does give you a lot of notes, so I recommend you buy a binder to put it in. Her lecture follows through with her notes, and her tests is literally the notes that she gives you.

Lots of reading for sure. you definitely have to pay attention during lectures and read the dang notes. She's an insightful professor who is truly passionate about what she does. You'll see. Lots of EC towards the end, but that won't be able to save you. Overall, it's a class that changed the way I think and perceive society. Very enlightening.

Uba's an amazing professor, though she can be intimidating at first. However, she truly wants to teach you about the subject and history of Asian Americans. Definitely make sure to participate in class, take good notes, and ask her for help if needed. It might seem like a lot of reading, but everything is doable. There are study guides too :)

If you care about AAS or Ethnic Studies in general, this is the class for you. Uba's personality takes a little getting used to, that's for sure. But if you put in the work, read the syllabus very carefully and stick by it -- you'll be golden. Uba has such a sharp memory and I personally looked forward to each day of class. Not for the weak-hearted

Dr. Uba is brutally honest, not rude. I enjoyed the class and I put in A LOT of work. This class is difficult but not impossible. You really have to think deep for this Asian American psychology course, and she teaches you how to! I left the class with a broader perspective. Read the syllabus and see if you can handle it, she's very knowledgeable!

Uba may seem like an intimidating professor if you're thinking about AAS210, especially with a 15+ page outline of the class. When you take it, it's actually easy to pass. She's very straightforward about how the papers are to be written, what and when things are turned in, but from the OUTLINE. Read the outline, do the work, and you'll be fine.

A lot of people think that she is rude or belittling. This isnt true. Shes blunt, and the only time she ever comes across as rude is to students who dont care, are late consistently, or dont follow instructions. The class may seem like a lot of work, but as long as you stay on top of it (and read the directions very thoroughly) its an easy A.

NOT for faint of heart egotist grade perfectionist mechanical thinkers. Uba will push you to think like never before. It'll be frustrating. Don't be sensitive. Listen. Triple check instructions. Ask questions. Make mistakes. DON'T repeat them. Go to office hours. Put in real effort. The reward: an honest grade and true test of collegiate competency
