Comment:

Took Yeong in the summer , he was intimidating at first but once you get to know his teaching style hes easy. No homework and no essays in summer. He just made us do a one page reflections about what we learned that day. And the group final. Its an easy class if your willing to learn a different Style of teaching.

Comment:

I'm not really sure what people see in this professor, honestly. He contradicts himself daily, gives his opinion as fact, and is incredibly vague about how to succeed in his class. For a critical thinking course, the discussion doesn't get much deeper than immediate thoughts and feelings, which seem overly emphasized considering.

Comment:

Mr. Yeong cared about his students and was a great person, but as a professor, he was very disorganized, and his grading criteria were not clear. It was challenging to be in his class at times. Sadly, this semester he became sick and stopped coming, so two other teachers came in and had to take his place and finish out the semester.

Comment:

Mr. yeong was an amazing professor. I learned more about myself and more information about the meaning of critical thinking. Hes very passionate on the topic, was always open for open discussion. He wants his students to be engaged and talk to one another about the subject being brought. I loved his class and truly thankful for what i learned.

I took this class over the summer and wish I had taken his full semester. I really enjoyed Professor Yeong. If you show that you care, then he will care. This was an interesting class. Show up, take notes, listen to what he says, do your work and you'll be set.

First things first, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD GROUPMATES. I ended up carrying the entire group for the final performance. Besides that, he's pretty chill. Make sure you take notes of what you did for every class period, or at least have one groupmate present to do so. NO ESSAYS!!!

This teacher is awesome. If you have to take an English class, take Michael yeong 220 English class. You won't have homework. He doesn't take attendance. All you have to do it "write it down". Watches lots of video. There are no tests. You will have to be in a group of 3 to 6 people. There are 2 group projects. Need to know how to use a computer.

Yeong wants you to be an active thinker in this day and age. He wants you to succeed and just wants to see if you have been listening in his class. FIND A RELIABLE GROUP and you will pass easily.

In the beginning it may seem like a tough class but its really not! just forces you to think! Grades you off of the midterm and final assignment but as long as you have a good group you will get an A. Professor Yeong is an amazing professor, definitely a class worth taking!

Comment:

Look, ur either going to love him & get an A or hate everything about the class & maybe a C. I think this last semester was a little more hectic than he was planning, and by the end of the semester we were graded on our class participation, how much we talked to him, and our final "performance." It'll be stressful, but not impossible by any means.

Comment:

Mr. Yeong is beyond amazing. You can see he cares about his students throughout his teachings. If you arent ready to take notes the entire class, work in a group for the semester, and learn to think out of the box - this class isnt for you. I highly recommend this class as it has helped me with other classes as well as personal development.

Comment:

Yeong is an authentic narcissist who has the nerve to put his own photo on the syllabus. Lectures are 3 hours of him on his politically correct, feminist soap box. Blah blah. Makes YOU print out every handout. Tons of group work/forced note taking/documentary watching/reflection paper writing (due every single class) Literally learned nothing.

Comment:

He has a unique style of teaching. He does what's called Project Based Learning which means you have to two major projects and you have to work in groups (no tests). Btw, he comes off a lil bit strong/serious but he's a cool dude.

Comment:

This was the last class I needed to take before transferring. I've already taken this class the semester before, and the group I was in was not for me. The professor is a very haughty know it all who thinks that everyone, at every second in their life should think and act like him. DO NOT take this class if you want peace of mind.

Comment:

I haven't finished this course yet, but I am awaiting my last day to present our final. The whole semester he was completely unorganized. He's given us unorthodoxed assignments all throughout the semester but never once collected or graded them. This is just the tip of the iceberg I really do not recommend this teacher if you want to actually learn

Enjoyable, absorbed critical thought process in every day life, I even enjoyed working in my group and on project. Taking Mr. Yeong class was definitely an experience that I can utilize throughout the rest of my journey.

TAKE HIM! Honestly as long as you participate in class and complete the final, you will get an A. He makes you critical think and connect the videos he shows in class, in order to prove your point. Make sure you atten class regularly and get into a good group.

Mr. Yeong is one of my favorite professors. He truly cares about his students and the lives we live. He incorporates real life situations into his lessons and challenges the concept of our morality. His class is not very challenging if you show up and do the work on time. He is big on participation. Highly recommend this class.

Never met a teacher who's had as big of an impact on my life as Yeong has had. I took him fall 16 and I still find myself quoting material learned in his class. I regret hardly participating in class discussions because I know he really enjoyed hearing what was on our minds. The txt book is cheap/useful. Pick a sensible group, come w/an open mind

Comment:

No real structure at all. If it wasn't for my previous Eng 90 professor, I would have failed in future English classes. I learned nothing new in his class. I had to look up easy formats on "youtubes" since he didn't teach us. If possible avoid his English 90 & 100 classes. Anything higher I would only if no one else is available.
