Increidbly nice teacher. Her class is really straight forward, she tells you EXACTLY what is going to be on the test, she gives you your essays (40% of each test) in advance, and the class is just overall easy. Go to class, and you'll get an A.

She is crazy. It takes a while to get used to her accent. Make you do panel discussions and debates. Tests are easy though she gives you a study guide and as long as you follow it you will do great.

She is a wonderful teacher. She up front explains what her expectations are, and lays out how to be a good student and do well in class. Her use of English is superior to many people on campus, but with a slight Chinese dialect.

She was a fine professor. She's from China originally, so English is not her first language. As a result she is often unsure when speaking and lacks vocal authority. She has a passion for history and is very knowledgeable, but the biweekly discussions very rarely strayed what was covered in the reading. She also gave little warning for essays.

Goated professor. Girly did not give a gaf and basically gave me an A in everything. It's an easy class if you take notes and just do the work. Though she was bad about responding and didn't show up to zoom office hours and kinda ghosted me for 4 weeks but otherwise I love her sm.

This professor thinks that she is a Harvard professor and finds as many areas as possible to take off points. My friend who also took the same class at the same time as me from a different professor was turning in very similar assignments and received higher grades on every assignment than me.

Easy class! Professor Wang's expectations were very clear and the quizzes/assignments were always related to the lessons. I enjoyed how each week had the opportunity to earn extra credit just by watching a video or reading a poem and sharing what you learned from it. No mandatory discussions or discussion replies. She was very friendly!
