EACS125 . Yang M A Month 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).

RGST183B . Yang M 5 Months 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.

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

CHIN32 . Yang M 7 Years Ago

Very easy class. did not do any reading cause the TA was very nice to conclude everyting from reading. Extra credit was watching a opera. She is a nice person but sometimes very stereotypical of how China is right now.
