Comment:
He's a nice professor, and his class can be interesting. Though however it seems he gears his teaching to get people to go a long with his interpretations. Essay and exam questions are not too difficult, but grading was a challenge because everything is tailored to how he wants it.

Professor does analyze materials in depth and has a nice teaching style. HOWEVER, his grading of assignments left me wondering was I being graded on my interpretation of the prompts for essays, or was I being graded based on how close my interpretation matched his

6 essays around 6 drafts + different shirt writing assignments Very good teacher and I enjoy his class very much. He grades extremely hard, and I believe I was one of his top students out of around 15. I received a c+. I would look for another professor just because how hard he is. Note, he is the department chair of the English departm

Dr. Chin is amazing, supportive, very helpful. But he is a very tough grader. Do not expect an easy ride, but you will learn a lot.

My first English professor there. Explains things thoroughly. Encourages class participation. Keep up w/ the readings so you don't get caught off guard. Gave me ideas on how to be a better writer. Convenient office hours too. I wish he taught more courses I need, I'd retake him.

Great Professor!!! Sooo much writing, but that is because he wants you to practice. 6 Essays + short writing assignments. He sets up the assignments so that the essays are easier to write. I greatly appreciated this professor and all the effort he puts into teaching his students. You can tell he genuinely wants you to learn. One sharp dressed man!

Unless you are an English major, this class, taken in Summer, is intense. Dr. Chin's lectures are interesting and helpful. He is available and appreciates student questions. Best dressed professor on campus.

Dr. Chin is a fair teacher. His summer course is nothing to play around with and should not be taken lightly or you will fail. He is very stern on his attendance policy. He was very helpful to me and graded me fairly.

Dr. Chin is really nice. He cares about the students and explains the readings thoroughly. There is a lot of reading you need to do. He quizzes you on the readings and the movies we watch and discuss in class. It's pretty easy and fun if you get people who love discussing about the readings/movies. Attendance counts for your grade.

He is a good teacher that challenges students. He only has 3 tests, which I feel you do not have enough time for. No essays except on tests. Class discussion is important and keep up with the reading for a better understanding of the material. He is not super good at answering questions, so try to find a study buddy.

You have to read a lot and keep up with the reading at all times! He is a really good professor though very clear with what he wants. The tests are stressing but he gives you the questions in advance. He will call out people in class even if you don't want to answer he wants to hear something from you. All 3 tests are in class essays. Study!

Comment:
Dr. Chin is really funny and his teaching method is pretty cool. You don't read an anthology or textbook. His approach to ENG341 was basically you read a bunch of novels, 7 of them, and analyze their narrative strategies. Fun stuff. The three In-Class essays can be difficult but he doesn't grade too harshly. Go to class, you'll be fine

Professor Chin is difficult but fair. DO NOT expect a to half step in this man's class. Come to class regularly, buy all the texts (because he uses every single one)make sure to analyze not summarize on your assignments and ABOVE ALL DO NOT PLAGIARIZE he stresses it to the extreme. You will learn alot and do well if you put forth the effort.

I had Chin when I was a junior and was not pleased with the class at the time. Now that I have him as a senior, I understand his methods more. He really is a great instructor who challenges you.

The negative reviews for this professor are most likely from underachievers who want an easy pass. This man is an intelligent and helpful professor. His courses were very challenging for me and I think that's always a plus for any one pursuing higher education.

Not a good professor at all. Didn't care about our own opinions or interpretations. We all had to see it his way. Not willing to work with the student and had no sympathy if you're struggling with the material.

Students must have plagerized in his course because he automatically criticizes students, without even realizing that's all he talks about. When we ask him questions, he automatically responds well you can't get it over night, the class session was on your question. Unsupportive and does not show peers in the course that he will aim to assist us

He's a good teacher and encourages class discussions. Sometimes he can be a bit scattered in what he means to say but will try to clarify, if asked. READING and ATTENDANCE is a MUST!
