Dr. Lan was a great professor for this class. She was accessible and very helpful if I had any questions. The class was a lot of reading and writing but the way she structures it makes it super manageable.

Comment:

Dr. Lan is a kind and genuine woman who not only cares about the content being created by the students but the overall effect it has on them. Earlier in the semester I was struggling with the workload, she personally met with me and I gained an understanding. The course has a lot of pieces to it, but she holds the answers and is willing to help.

I LOVED professor Lan. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met. This class wasn't to hard. There was daily homework, but it usually only took me 20 minutes to complete. Really cares about students and wants to make this class as easy as possible. She will set you up to succeed. Loved her and hope I can take her again!

Comment:

Her accent is not difficult to understand at all. Pros: extremely caring, although she may not seem that way. If you're good at writing, this class will be easy. Tip: Take notes during her lectures rather than daydreaming, they'll help you immensely later on. Cons: You need to be good at writing. She probably won't learn your name

Comment:

I enjoyed and learned from this course. If you need a writing intensive course, TAKE THIS ONE! It was brilliant. Her format is one group discussion (due Thursday) and one partner discussion (due Monday) each week, and they have clear questions that you answer using the book. The book is very easy to understand. Only two papers: Midterm and Final.

Comment:

Has very clear assignments, that are step by step. Can still be confusing and unclear with what she wants exactly, but if you ask questions she is always willing to help. Wrote a total of 4 papers and I only spent probably 1 hour outside of class for each one. Easy A.

Has heavy accent and paper requirements are hard to understand. Unclear about what she wants in papers and then doesn't tell you when asked. Very nice person, but I wouldn't recommend taking her class.

Comment:

Sometimes she words things weird in lecture, but if you ask for help she is always very helpful and tries her best to help. She gives you a lot of time in class to do most of the assignment. You have an assignment due every night you had that class, but she gives you plenty of in class time and attendance does count in your score

Comment:

This class will be easy if you; can overlook the factor that Dr. Lan doesn't speak the best English, show up to class for you get credit, and complete the tasks given to you. Basically each class is spent working on the assignments due that day, making it easy to get all work done in class. The papers written in this class were easy and not long.

Comment:

English isn't her first language, but it's still easy to understand her, no issues there. ENG110 is entirely made up of 4 papers and attendance. Reviews and gives feedback for your paper before every class, so it's very easy to do well if you put in the effort. Class time is mostly useless, but is mandatory so just show up and listen. Not difficult

I personally enjoyed Dr. Lan's class. She wants a very specific organization to your planning of papers, but once you understand it is very easy. Her conferences for every paper also help to clarify what she wants for the paper, if you are still confused just ask. Since she tells you exactly what she wants, it is very easy to get a good grade.

Comment:

Do not take Dr. Lan's Eng 110. Firstly, you will not become a better writer. You spend 90 minutes working on one simple concept and then at the end of class she decides she wants the opposite of what she has been talking about for 1.5 hours. Secondly, if you attempt to meet with Dr. Lan outside of class she won't meet outside her office hours.

Comment:

Dr. Lan doesn't seem to really know what is going on. I am working on my third paper now and I am just now understanding how she wants things done. She is not very clear on her expectations. Expect a lot of frustration. I have grown to tolerate her, but try to take someone else if you can!

Comment:

She offers help but is not specific at all, and if you think she is being clear she ends up wanting the opposite of what you thought. It is hard to know what she wants. The times I guessed on my essays and didn't try I got 910 or 1010. Times I would really try I got C's. I would advise not taking her.

Comment:

Just no. Half of the time you don't know what she wants. 90 minutes of class while working on the same 3 paragraph paper for 3 weeks will bore you to tears. This class did not help me to become a better writer, if anything I suffered because of it. Take someone that will prepare you to write papers..

Comment:

She is very helpful. The papers that we wrote were very difficult and it took a lot of patience with her and yourself to fully understand them. With each paper you get an individual conference with her that takes place of class. The class is not mandatory but if you miss it then you will be lost. She is flexible with your schedule and will extend

Comment:

Dr. Lan is a very nice lady, but incredibly difficult to understand, not in her speech but her inability to explain concepts. This inhibits her helpfulness as well, though she does try very hard. She enforces confusing and useless paper formats that do not help in learning to write. Sorry to say, but this class did not make me a better writer.
