Doesn't get students involved. The already super abstract material is made a lot harder to understand by her messy/unclear lectures.

Comment:

Linguistics was a very interesting class. She is a great professor and you learn alot from her lectures. There were readings, but they weren't on the tests. Exercises from the book were done in class and for homework so the class does require work. The final is very difficult, but overall it was a good course.

Comment:

You will be in a constant state of confusion if you take this class. She's nice but pretty useless when it comes to teaching. The only thing more pointless than her lectures are the assignments. She loves collaborative essays which are terrible at helping students improve on their writing skills. Unfortunately, she takes attendance every day.

Comment:

This is the first time I actually rate a professor on this website. Because I find the negative comments untrue. She is a great professor and probably one of my favorite. Took her for linguistic and I really enjoyed it. The midterm test was easy but the final was pretty tough. Gives out only few assignments (easy). Overall an excellent professor.

Comment:

Avoid this women as much as possible. She constantly walks out of class to "drink" water and is always pushing personal Asian cultural beliefs on the class instead of teaching the course. Is always looking for personal gain rather than teaching.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. ONLY ASSIGNS ASIAN LITERATURE AND IS HIGHLY ANNOYING. She is a very bad teacher because she will only teach from one culture. I had to take this class as a core and she grades papers as though it is my major. I would not take her for she is almost looking to give out bad grades.

Comment:

Not as bad as other comments make her out to be. Her grading is very harsh. The knowledge you get is very helpful for future jobsfor English Majors. Her midterm/final & tests are very hard. She's unclear & the tests=hard (we didn't learn). Research paper was annoying;the oral presentations are helpful for jobs. This prof is bearable, not too bad.

Comment:

Okay, so when the class starts out with 15 or so people and the only 3 people are left to take the final, I think everything one needs to know about this class is understood. Unfortunately, there is no one else to take for Writing as a Discipline and this class is horrible. She's smart, but a terrible teacher. Don't take unless it's required!

Comment:

She grades papers way too harshly and they are on the most boring topics ever. She is a good teacher and you'll learn a lot but it's over the top for basic college writing.

Comment:

Extremely nice. Read alot of national geographic articles and then write about them. No real free writing. Not hard to get a decent grade. she will meet with you to go over a paper before its due and allows 2 re-writes during the semester. Mid-term and final were extremely easy. Overall and OK class. I would recommend her

Comment:

Four 4-6 page essays, One 8 page essay, A lot of not necessary reading, 1 presentation, easy midterm and final. This is a humanities writing class. Writing topics are extremely limited/no creativity allowed. Relatively useless class but not hard to get a B

Comment:

I'm shocked to see any positive comments. She's really really nice but the class is a waste of time. You learn nothing of value. Most of your time is spent laughing because she's laughing hysterically at her own joke. The rest of your time is sent wondering why you're learning it what you're learning. Smart, can't teach

Had her for Writing as a Discipline...in which we did no writing. Very nice and intelligent but uses way outdated material which doesnt help your writing skills at all. Do NOT buy the textbook- don't use it.

Comment:

The class is a history of writing course. Many readings! Most of them are online. I couldn't find some of them. Don't read them at the last minute. They make up the midterm! She has a thick accent, so you have to pay close attention to what she's saying. Few grades. Study your definitions for the final! Ask questions if you need help! Nice teacher!

I wold NOT recommend this teacher to anyone. If you love writing this is not the class for you it is more like a social studies class than a writing class. She is harsh to everyone's writing skills.

I would rather slam my head against the wall repeatedly for an hour and 15 minutes than go to this class. Too bad you automatically have to take her if you're an English major. So boring and unclear.

Comment:

Do NOT take this class. All papers had to do with immigrants and globablization. Do pretty much nothing related to writing. You end up laughing at her while she laughs at herself.
