Very knowledgeable professor who is passionate about what she teaches, she often brings up examples from firsthand experiences. Lectures have a lot of information. Reading and films required, but the info from the readings are often covered by the lecture material. Pretty easy GE class, grade is more dependent on your TA.

she reminds me of my auntie, a very kind and passionate professor. lots of reading on syllabus but you can get away with doing almost none of it, but i suggest going through some of the films. midterm is bluebook with ID questions/short essay (2-3 paragraphs) + multiple choice, final is same + one full essay. 1 film essay, be prepared to write!!

Prof. Mayfair is really kind, passionate, and knowledgeable about her subject. (You can get away with not doing the readings since the PPs are very text-heavy.) She offers a lot of anecdotes from her field work in the 90's which I appreciate. She felt like my cool Asian grandma.

Tests were part online, part IDs on terms from the lectures and readings. Would take another class with Dr. Yang

Prof. Yang is really friendly and she cares for the students. Lectures are long and sometimes a bit boring but her slides are clear and easy to follow. She is willing to answer questions from students from an unbiased angle. Grading depends more on your TA, but the exams are pretty fair.

She's very knowledgeable in her area, so talking to her during her office hour can help students interested in cultural study (and ANTH, perhaps). The lecture is a bit boring but all information you need is on the PPT, which makes exams fairly easy. I will see her courses are very beneficial for people loving Asian culture.And her dress style slays
