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

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! :)

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.
