Loved Professor Huang! He was really funny and the class was interesting. Super easy. Graded on a take-home midterm, take-home final, and 5-7 page final paper. Easy A. He has some really interesting stories and insights.

ENGL133TL . Huang Yu 10 Years Ago

His tests are fill-in-the-blank and a short essay. Very easy if you do the readings and attend lectures. He is very passionate about his subject and very funny. Very helpful during office hours. Two essays and he makes it very clear that they can be about anything related to the readings (no essay topics), so be ready to get creative. Great class.

Awesome teacher. Tests are incredibly easy if you do at least some sort of skimmingspark notes of the texts. Go to class because anything he talks about could be on the tests. He is hilarious anyways so you won't get bored. lectures were sometimes hard to follow but if you generally pay attention you will be fine. Wish I could have him again.

Great teacher! Very funny. Lectures were pretty interesting, played films and clips. Should have been more clear on what he wanted on the essays though. Doesn't give a prompt or anything. Midterm and final were fair as long as you read and go to class.

ENG134AA . Huang Yu 5 Months Ago

He is constantly cracking jokes which keeps class interesting and he obviously cares about the material and his students. The class integrates novels, poems, and film to create a well rounded experience. If you do the readings and show up to class the exams are easy.
