Comment:

wow. Wang is nice but hard to understand. THis is by far the easiest English class I've ever taken. However it is pointless, you pay your tuition take an hour to do your paper, get a B and get out. I think he has altimers disease. He definitley should not have been a professor for as long as he had been!!

Comment:

He is the worst teacher I have ever had! It is pointless to go to class everyday because he covers the same material for weeks. He is very forgetful. He kept pushing back our assignments...we never knew when they were actually due. He also believes that Chinese people are way better than Americans. We spent 2 days listening to him rant.

Comment:

Brit Lit? I don't think so...more like history of China. He never stayed on topic and no one ever showed up because of this. The tests were very hard and anyone who answered his essays correctly should have received an A because he never taught any of it in class. He grades pretty hard too.

Comment:

AHAHAHAHAHA! This class was a joke. If you want to learn about Shakespeare, you'll have to learn on your own, i'mean? If this was a history of China class, you would be overwhelmed with information, but it's not. One paper, one mid-term, and one final exam. Bring some homework to class!

DON'T TAKE THIS TEACHER. He is very nice, but doesn't know how to teach. Very unorganized and repeats himelf over and over. finished 1/2 of material. Grades hard 2 essay tests and 1 paper. He doesn't give any direction on how he wants you to write the paper. This class was a disappointment.

Comment:

Prof Wang is a very sweet man, however, he should not be teaching. He repeats himself constantly. Not just words or sentences, but the lecture, over and over again. It's as if he can't remember that he told us this already. He is constantly off topic. We didn't finish several of the plays assigned, because he digresses so much. Waste of time.

Comment:

Dr. Wang is a nice professor, but he didn't stay on the subject. We opened the book in class twice in a 7 week period (2 days a week). He seemed to grade easily. But I spent most of my time in class reading the stories we were assigned or doing homework for another class. Be prepared to learn about China and his transfer from there to the US.

Comment:

Old guy, even though it was brit lit, i learned a heck of alot about china and marriage, it was a decent class, kinda boring, but enjoyed laughing at his messed up stories. most of the time took i-pod to class and fell asleep, just sit in the back and he wont care if you do. boring stories, 2 tests, 1 paper. not real easy, just do the readings.

Comment:

China China China! That's all he ever talked about, with the exception of library research, upon which he spoke about for 5 different classes. We only made it through half the course material, he lost half the people's papers, and he was very unorganized. Painfully boring for a 3 hour class. I did convince him to give us a take-home final.

Comment:

He is the most unorginized professor I have ever had. He repeats himself over and over and loses your papers. He even came to class and didn't know what story we were reading. I hated this class and will never take a class with him again. I highly suggest taking a different professor.

"You are lazy American, I mean, you not take advantage of college library, I mean, like they do in China. In China, I mean, I mean, okay, we study 21 hours a day. Would you, I mean, like to study that much? No, hahaha, you think studying is dumb! Shakespeare wrote a play, I mean, Love Labor Lost, I mean. I read it in China. I am from China, I mean"

Comment:

Run. Run as fast as you can and do NOT look back. Please find a different professor to take English classes from. This guy repeats himself over and over, and it's torture to stay the full class period. He does NOT return graded work within a reasonable time, he tells jokes butbeware- you will hear the same joke 5 times a night!

Comment:

Going into this class I was hoping to form a more clear and positive reaction to Shakespeare. However, Dr. Wang has not taught me anything to allow me to appreciate Shakespeare more or how to teach my students to appreciate his work. Dr. Wang's class is so boring!!!!! Everyday he talks and talks with no visuals, not even writing on the board!!

Comment:

Snooze-a-thon! Sitting in this class was mind-numbingly boring. Half the class left at the midway break just to escape. He took longer breaks than the students! You ask him to clarify assignments and he just goes off on a tangent about China. I'm an A student and an English major, and I still couldn't make an A. Beware, if you care about your GPA.

I agree will all of the below...sit in the back and he will never know if you don't show up to class. I kind of liked his stories about China and his own life although I am unsure of how it related to Shakespeare. Like i said sit in the back and bring homework to work on, it will be an easy A.

Comment:

Wow, this guy cannot focus on anything. I took him for 315 and it was the same way. Loses your papers, hands back exams 5 weeks later, late to class, and totally scatter-brained. Nice guy but not a great teacher anymore. I think his grades are pretty random too.
