RGST183B . Yang M 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

As a RG ST major this was the worst professor I've had. Her lectures were packed full of random information and there was no clear layout to the course. As a side note the neon colors she's used on her slides gave me a headache every class. Tests were hard but at least the final was online. Would recommend avoiding this teacher.

People can have different opinions, and she listens very carefully about our questions and opinions. She has really been helpful and was in her office hour every time.

She's a cute little lady willing to help if you ask. The lectures are boring and a bit unclear but read her lecture notes and you'll be fine and be sure to at least skim through the readings. Expect a history class not an anthropology class. She offers extra credit opportunities and a very generous curve. Try and you will pass with flying colours.

SHE WAS AWFUL!!! never take this professor unless you absolutely have to-even then I would say DON'T. She drones on and on about what she wants- she is useless in office hours and only wants to hear what she WANTS to hear which is super hard to understand from lectures and readings anyways. I literally have never been so bored and frusterated.

EACS125 . Yang M 8 Months Ago

EACS/RGST128: 25% presentation 30% midterm 45% final(75% tests for nonstem?!). Yapped so much and barely lectured. Didn't provide much academically relevant material/information. No instructions for presentation, graded exponentially harder on final despite extra final essay. Extra credit didn't make a difference(she didn't even add it).

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