he is very cool teacher and very fun. He is a profsor that you could hangout with out of class. Recommend him for eng.A
Very prudent and precise in his work. A very talented and gifted teacher that you wouldn't want to miss.
He's the best. Take him you will learn a lot...
GREAT,Friendly, Hot to me.
He is extremely good!!! HOT HOT HOT
He's a great teacher. Thank you Mr.Cheung
I accidently put a sad face down below because i do not know how this thing works. Anyhow, Mr. Cheung is a great professor who teaches very good. He is smart and should be a university professor instead since he is so talented with English. He is my fav professor even though i no longer have him:( From, Sally Mae
mr.cheung is cool ,he will work with you if you are late on your work and grades you fair.He talks just enough so you can understand ,but to much where you get bored. thanks to mr. cheung english is easyer for me to understand and do right.naw I just need to pass my math.....(yuck)
He's a good teacher, easier than a lot of Eng. teachers out there and actually cares. Honestly I could of passed that class with an A if I just attended. i took this class for granted. Just make sure you do your work, check your email. when i had him, he worked outside the syll.
YUP JUST GO TO CLASS, HOMEWORK CHECK EMAIL 4 ANY POP QUIZ & YOU'LL DO FINE
He is a tight professor! Just stay on top of your work and you'll pass easily. Check online also, he always posts HW assignments up there.
way too hard.
Not a completely horrible teacher.. he did have some cool methods. Just most of the time he lost my attention or assigned too much.
I love professor cheung, I have taken him for eng 84 & 1A. yeah he makes you work for your grade and does assign about 3 papers and a research paper but he is on a chill level w. the class & always gets back to emails quickly. I recommend you take him, you'd be trippen if you didn't.
Hes really cool, he seems like he should be a student though but hes really smart and funny. He likes to joke a lot with everyone. The work is fine you just have to do it and get it in on time. He marked me late on my first paper which lowered it to a B which is lame and he has no mercy ever if your printer broke haha. But overall he was good.
Professor Cheung is awesome!i really enjoyed his class. He talks a lot and jokes around a lot.U will pass this class as long as u do the work and go to class. 3 essays and 1 research paper and presentation. but all very easy! take him!! Hes kinda cute too:)
He is Super COOL!! He Really explains every assignment with clarity and is very humorous
He is there to help whenever you need it, the class is challenging but you learn a lot in the process. To get an A in his class you need to absolutely do all the reading and really good on all the essays. overall good guy, approachable, funny, nice...highly recommended!
he is too hard. you always have to go to class and he is not clear. almost all the class failed his class.
He is so totally cool! Explains your hw clearly and his class is fun too. =]
Very funny teacher. He is very relaxed and a great teacher. The books you read are a bit on the boring side but the essays are clear and not too bad. overall a very fun class.
He is a nice teacher, but his class is not an easy A. I think he might have been biased when he grades the essays. he grades semi hard. Doesn't offer a lot of extra credit and doesn't really give you any sympathy. His class was interesting. Just do well on the essays he assigns and you'll do fine.
great teacher!! class is really fun and discussion is really open to answers...you will laugh alot in this class while learning at the same time! super chill
a very easy class but he is an unfair teacher even if u attend class everyday and do all your work he still grades hard and will not give extra credit that would raise your grade. I would not recommend this teacher he goes over dumb subjects.
Took him for Summer school. Ok teacher. Like 3 essays total for homework, and 1 essay 1 midterm. I was confused sometimes, which cost me sometimes, yet i managed to get a B in the class. All you have to do is attend class, and do your best on your essays. Also check your ecc email often, he likes to send things without notice -_-. somewhat easy.
Very Helpful. Great teaching skills as well. :]
He's very helpful and gives examples at all times encourages students to ask questions.A fun class,The assignments are easy and the essays have intresting topics.Hes funny and very down to earth teacher.I higly recommend him if you want to have fun and learn at the same time prof. Cheung is your man!
cool teacher... very laid back and easy to understand...a must take if u can
He is a very good teacher.. he's really funny.. if u want a teacher who can make u laugh a lot take him.. also his hw are very very easy..
Must do your Hw don't fall behind!!!! :o
THE WAY HE GREADS...HARD.ON ESSAYS. YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING WHEN IT COMES TO ESSAYS. THE STORYS YOU READ FOR THIS CLASS ARE INTRASTING. HE WILL HELP YOU, YOU JUST NEED TO ASK FOR IT
He grades HARD on the essays..He is nice and funny but if you want A in Eng. 1c take someone else.
really cool ,down to earth, essays are big, if you need help just ask he is always willing to listen.
Mr. Cheung was by far one of my favorite professors at El Co. He wants his students to do well and all he asks in return is that you put in the work. He's sarcastically funny and will have you laughing every single class. He always thinks of new ways to grab his students attention. He's helpful, all you have to do is ask! He also deserve a chili pe
Just do all the work and you'll pass... To get an A is pretty hard because he doesn't give them out... Good Luck if you're trying to get an A.. Take him for English 1A he's pretty down to earth overall...
Hes one of the best teachers in el co and has so many funny stories plus his method of teaching is extremely helpful. his grading is harsh on essays but as long as ur a good writer you should leave with a B
Good luck trying to get an A! he is a really good teacher, but grades very tough.. I felt like the highest grade he gave out during my summer session was a B. But he has a lot of funny stories and is very chill. Take him!
he is a good teacher
i love cheung. his class was sometimes a challenge for me and i do enjoy writing essays sometimes. he's a dorky and sweet guy. definitely try to talk to him outside of class because he is always willing to help. i recommend him if you want to learn some cool perspectives on literature.
I love Mr. Cheung! He's really funny and so laidback. His assignments are pretty hard but just do all the assignments and you'll be straight :)
decent teacher of the subject. not so decent when it comes down to being in class with him. i never seemed to notice him pay too much attention to anything i said where other people in the class he was always happy to hear from. So if teacher favoritism doesnt bother you, then sign up for his class.
I had mr cheung for 1a and 1c and i gotta tell u i enjoyed his class. If not for a an a and honestly want to learn and play around at the same time take this guy he is SO FUNNY. hes def one of my top 3 fav teachers at el co and hes very reasonable and wants sucess for every one of his students
Mr. Cheung is hilarious! I always look forward to class because i actually learn. I highly recommend taking him. He's really easy to talk to and he is a fairly reasonable person. He's known for being a bit of a tough grader when it comes to essays, but that's only because he knows what he's talking about. Do your reading and participate in class.
Mr cheungs class was challenging but helped when asked for help a lot of extra credit if you do all the work youll be good to pass the class i got an a for his class recommend the class
Mr. Cheung was my first college professor, and so far my favorite. I actually LEARNED in his class, and I laughed every day. It is an easy A, just pay attention in class and get your homework done. Homework is important!! If you have any questions he is very helpful. I miss being in his class; I wish all professors were like him!
He is Funny AF!! Great teacher. I actually read my first offical book in his class " OUTLIERS". I look foaward to his class and enojoy learnig in the facetious learning envirnment.
I loved his class. pretty funny guy and totally possible to get an A. Just do the work and visit his office hours if you can!
He's seriously the best teacher at El Camino. I recommend him to the fullest!!!!!!!! He likes to joke around but he gets his work done. I want to take him again LOL
Great guy. He makes class really fun and enjoyable.
Professor Cheung is THE best! I took him for 2 classes and passed easily with A's. He is also very funny and a little quirky but it makes class really fun.He really does go over everything clearly and if you don't understand something, it isn't hard to approach him after class.He also used the same book for both classes which was extremely helpful!
Very funny and charismatic. Class is easy if you do all the work. Only complaint is that he sometimes forgets to put your grade in for your work so DONT loose/throw away your work or you won't get points.
Taught me what I needed to know for English 1A. I did slack off at the end because it was just a PF class. At that point I had a high B, so I didn't care to do the rest of the assignments. The way he assigns the papers helps evolves any students writings. He was a cool dude. He likes participation.
TAKE HIM!!!!! He definitely made me like writing essays more, his class is super easy and he's pretty funny!
Good professor. Do his extra credits because they are like gold. He is a kind professor but is pretty tough at grading essays.
He is Awesome, funny and a great professor. You would like his class.
His class is not hard if you do all the work and it is best to get on his good side or you will see his attitude.. Does not have sympathy on excuses or for students that is not his favorite ... If favoritism does not bother you then take him!
He does not make you feel welcome in the class or excited to come... Will not be there for you as a friend! He is a little funny but he tries to be funny when he is not funny! Not an easy grader and does not care to help students pass if you miss an assignment then you miss it he definitely will not let you make up for it so best to show up!
Do not take any English classes with him. He is not only disorganized and he would not talk to you if he does not like you. He is not approachable at all and he is only approachable when it is his favorite student. I recommend taking English with another professor and not this one. He is not an easy grader and he grades not fair.
He liked my class, pretty chill but will not hesitate to tell someone to quiet down and pay attention. Just take it one assignment at a time, dont stress yourself. Lots of writing and reading (come on now its college). Tough grader! Nobody got higher than a C+ on the research paper(not even the A student). 4 papers+2 in class essays(midterm+final)
I would not recommend taking him. If you want to learn in an easier way then it is best to take it with another professor. He really goes off topic in the lectures and he does not care about students grades or tries to help them bring the grades up.
Tough grader on essays and does not give you a chance to revise the essays. Only a few people passed and the rest did not pass. It is confusing when he is lectures and when you ask him it is always either a short answer or an answer that is confusing. Do not take him for any English classes.
Worst English teacher!!! I seriously need hep writing his essays. His class is based on essays , so if you don't write like a journalist you won't get close to a B. I did all assignments still have a low C. Plus never got a higher grade than a C on essays
He is very cool, hes funny and class is never boring. He made me a better writer and I learned alot.
He is a very funny guy. Always making jokes. If you do your homework it's an easy A. The homework is not a lot. I highly recommend taking him.
He is a really good Prof I took him in the fall of 2012 and I have to say that he really does give you a good foundation on how to be able to write and be able to make your self a better writer and to be successful in college reading and writing. Overall I had fun in his class and I was able to make friends in this class as well.
It was actually not a hard class. He's a good professor who cares about his students and he does have office hours in which he can help you outside of class. I would recommend him and also would take his class again.
He will truly help improve your writing, if you seek for it. Will always keep you engaged to class.
He's truly awesome.
He is honestly a great teacher. He is so fun and chill. get ready to read, read, read. I think overall it is an easy class. As long as you do the work you are going to do fine. He does accept late work from time to time and gives out extra credit. He's an amazing professor. I would definitely recommend you take his class if you can.
Prof. Cheung is pretty chill. My girlfriend goes to the same church as he does. He likes to tell the congregation i barely passed his class. Haha. But in all honesty, if you attend class and do some work, you'll pass. Although we did alot of reading. Other than that, if you wanna pass english 84, Take prof. Cheungs class.
Prof. Cheung is one of the best english teachers out there at El Camino College. Try to take him for both English 84 and English A. You will for sure pass his class, just do all your homework and read the context. Do the essays if you have him for English A. He is a tough grader but provides tutors in his labs. Good Luck!
he's a good professor. funny, homework is there of course but it's not too difficult. quizzes are simple, essays were a bit tough for me but overall medium difficulty not too bad yet too easy. would definitely take his class again.
Mr. Cheung is a resourceful professor for English 84. Aside from the class book ("Outliers"), he learns from the Vocab and Comprehension books, the latter being useful for the exit exams. I took him in Spring 2015 to retake the class I needed for English 1A. Those of you who want to get into 1A the next semester, dedicate your time to Cheung.
Prof. Cheung is never late to class. He is the nicest teacher I have ever had. Just come to class and do the work. It is not that difficult.
Prof. C is a very funny teacher, great person, and has sarcastic humor. VERY HARD GRADER ON ESSAYS! the prompt is never clear there is a lot of going on. I barely have a B in that class. Never have I ever received a B in an English class. You get into a lot of group activities. If you don't do your blue book homework he'll send you outside to do it
Professor Cheung has a very sarcastic sense of humor and it isn't really for everyone. His class was always entertaining though and he did offer a couple of extra credit opportunities. I'd take them because you will definitely need them. He grades essays super harsh which hurts your grade since they made up most of it. He did round me up though.
He is a great eng prof. I definitely would recommend his course! We only read one book and the rest of the material was derived from articles. You will need the textbook because many of the articles are straight from the book. If you ever need help with anything he gives great feedback! It's easy to pass, but also really easy for your grade to drop
Professor Cheung is a really chill teacher. He is also very lenient, gives a grace period, and accepts late work. His class meetings were fun and he regularly gives extra credit in class. However, he does grade pretty hard on essays, and since it's online I never really had the chance to ask many questions. Take him, but be prepared to write a lot!
Professor Cheung is an excellent professor overall he knows how to entertain on the zoom calls to make it less boring. Homework wise its pretty easy and self explanatory. However he does assign a lot of papers and he can grade tough.
Out of all the professors that I have had these past two semesters, he has cared the most, and It has shown. I have appreciated his teaching greatly!
Prof. Cheung will give you tons of extra credit during the class meeting, so make sure you attend the meeting. This class has about 3 essays, 1 midterm, and 1 final essay. His grading is a little bit tough, but he gives you great feedback, so do read those feedback carefully, and don't make the same mistake again.
such a great class and professor. he is super funny and relatable, but he is a pretty tough grader when it comes to essays. the discussions are easy, and the class was overall enjoyable :).
Be Prepared He has an amazing personality and is very accessible! He does grade a bit tough on essays so its important to follow his feedback correctly. Hes also very big on participation. We had 1 essay, a midterm, and 2 research papers. He is, however, very entertaining and funny :) If writing isnt your best suit, I wouldnt really recommend.
Really fun and organized class! He is a tough grader when it comes to essays, but his comments really help you improve your writing.
He's the best professor I've ever come across. He has an amazing friendly and funny personality. Although he's a tough grader, he gives thorough notes on how to improve your writing. He gets along with every student and makes sure everyone is included in participation. Take his classes!
Hes a good professor overall I will miss the class he always had everyone into group stuff and was funny He is a goo teacher I reccomend highly
In person lectures were never boring, hes younger so he can relate somewhat and he likes to interact with everyone in the class.He does not give clear instructions on essays which makes you wonder what he really wants, and even when you think you have it figured out your score is nothing what you really deserve. Easy to pass, feels like a hs class
He's chill lol but it was basically at HS level--nothing extraordinary. I think he grades fairly, but strictly, and you need to get used to his style of grading--make sure you follow what he wants in the rubric and use his office hours if you aren't sure. He lets you resubmit any 2 papers/assignmnts that you want to do better or haven't turned in.
Very easy class, super funny professor. Professor Cheung is an excellent teacher who explains the material well and assigns group projects during class time which end up being super fun. He's approachable outside of class and gives secret extra credit, keep an eye out. 10/10 Highly recommend taking his class :)
The only "good" thing about this man is his personality, which I personally don't find amusing. He grades tough for no reason, and he is not considerate at all. He gives a lot of useless assignments that never do anything to your grade, but if you don't do them, your grade drops about 2%. Stay tuned for part 2 because I'm reaching the text limit.
Part 2 I did an assignment that was supposed to be 10 points, but my grade didn't change. Let's start with the essays; this man does not explain ANYTHING; once the essay assignments start, he hands out a bunch of useless papers that are supposed to "help" you with the essay, but they never do anything for you. He also doesn't answer emails. Pt 3
He also has "work days" where he lets you work on the essays, but he never really helps you, and one thing I really dislike about him is that he tells you one thing and then does another thing. He would tell you that you're on the right track in person but then give you a bad grade on the essay. It's really frustrating. Pt 4
4 Anytime you ask him a question about the assignments, he's never straightforward about it and ends up confusing you even more. He does amnesty to help compensate for bad grades, but getting credit for those is a hassle. He's also unnecessarily sassy, which gets irritating really quickly. His lectures are also really boring.
Really engaging teacher, he's super understanding if you suffer from adhd/ depression, and he's always open to discussing things. He's very sassy but it's just hilarious makes him even more relatable and easier to talk to!
Overall good professor, always willing to help. There are extra credit opportunities and he allows you to rewrite an essay for a better score towards the end of the semester. I'd say he's a tough grader, but he's helpful to fix corrections.
I think I could've skipped over half the classes I attended and still gotten the same grade. Very few note days, mainly just group projects that weren't graded and had no impact beyond the day they were done in class. Basic english class, it's nothing fancy, not difficult but not engaging. If you're just looking for quick credit take this
If you genuinely hate yourself or NEED this class and its the only option then go for it. You need to read a lot of different things and the work is left to right. And there's group projects during class with no credit. He gives 'optional' weekly work for one point and if you don't do it then it still drops your grade. He also grades very unfairly.
bro prof. cheung is just a chill guy. my class was the most unserious class he's had, with lots of fun whiteboard group work every week, and drawing comics for grades. buy or rent the textbooks; you'll need them. he's very professional but too damn funny & sassy. be ready to present your group work. his class is so worth it if you try, TRUST!!!!
This professor is alright and his lectures are great and straightforward. I also like his group work he assigns the class to do to help further develop our understanding. What I don't like is that he is a very tough grader who is sometimes sassy. He also makes confusing criterias for his essays and isn't specific about it. He can be vague and rude.
Professor Cheung is really chill but cares about his students. His English 1A class (as of 2024) has an emphasis on comics and the civil rights movement. - Easy to listen to - Light homework - Offers extra credit
Professor Cheung is a tough but fair grader who makes the class engaging with group projects. The material can be challenging, but using Unstuck study alongside the textbook and attending office hours really helps. Overall, a rewarding experience.
THE WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. As someone who is going into the teaching field, I hated this class. He is very one-track-minded. It's very much "my way or the high way" with this professor. I have never met a teacher so condescending and unhelpful to his students. Save yourself the crying and stress and take someone else.
Prof. Cheung is amazing!!!! He really cares about his students and wants them to succeed in his class. It definitely requires exerting effort, but as long as you try, I think you're assured to get a good grade. Also, he's one of the only professors who awards extra credit; do not take his opportunities for granted. You got this! :)
Pretty good professor. I had this class online. There was a ton like actually a lot of extra credit available. He gave really good feedback on essays and assignments. Pretty funny as well. Fair grader on essays and assignments.
His class is difficult but it helps you grow. He has lots of engaging and creative activities that make the class interesting, and he is a debatably funny teacher. Not an easy A, he takes the grading system literally (C as average, B above average, A extraordinarily) but I don't know anyone who failed his class. Take it if you want to learn.
Worst english professor ever DO NOT take his class. He's a tough grader and doesn't explain how to write essays or why he takes away points. I argue with him every time he says I didn't write a paper correctly and he doesn't even explain exactly why or how I should correct them. He also has a bad attitude in class and very rude to me.
Professor Cheung was very caring and helpful. But you need to do your assignment on time to stay on track. I recommend that you read the materials thoroughly and start your assignments early.
Great professor, tons of extra credit, assignments were more towards the creative side so definitely take his classes if you like drawing/design.
