She is very passionate however the class does not interest me at all and her lecture aren't very clear

Great professor. Knows the material well and lectures are always interesting and clear. Attend lecture and section and be sure to read the majority of the books and you'll do great

This class wasn't what I expected. She is a difficult grader. I enjoyed the subject, but I wouldn't want to take another class with her because of her grading.

Professor Ninh is amazing. Her enthusiasm and positive energy are not only inspiring, but she literally put me in a better mood every class. The texts were interesting, but not too long like many other classes. She truly cares about her students and her teaching, and she is honestly one of the best teachers I've ever had. Highly recommend.

Professor Ninh is awesome. She really cares about her students and making a connection to the class. She is super passionate about these books. The class is difficult if you have a tough grading TA, but has some really cool insights and concepts about 1st and 2nd generation As Am struggles. She was a perfect professor for this class.

Class isn't too difficult, but has lots of writing. Professor is clear with her lectures and has obvious themes she wants you to understand. No midterm or final, just papers.

Really great and easy! You get the midterm and final questions ahead of time, which gives you time to plan your answers with the TA's. Closed reading assignments were pretty easy. Overall a great class.

She is attractive!! Tough class, tedious multiple long essay midterm and final exam. But she gives out the questions before hand, so its not too difficult.

Great professor, one of the best I've had. Lecture is fun if you actually do the reading. She is challenging you to think for yourself, and it's not hard to do well if you do your share. TA's grade tough, but don't let that deter you from this class. Great literature requirement.

Lectures are quite boring. The flow of concepts is tough to get and class never seems to hold my attention. The books are cool, and she is nice if you talk to her, I just can't stand her lectures.

Very good professor.

There was a lot of writing, but they weren't that difficult. In total she said it was about 27 total pages. I don't think she grades that hard. On all my papers I got As and Bs and an A- in the class. (I'm not the greatest writer either) Theres only a reader for the class. Be prepared to read. There are HW quizzes & assignments occasionally

This class was absolutely terrible. Some of the books were interesting but lecture was unbearable. She definitely tried and was open to suggestions, but at the end of the day the lectures could not hold my attention. Here flow of concepts never quite made sense. It's a pretty easy writing fulfillment though.

Very interesting take on Asian American Studies. More psychoanalysis than "the man is keeping us down!" I wasn't interested at all in the subject, but Ninh made it super interesting. Tough graders for sure though.

she is awful at teaching, her lectures are very unorganized

Professor Ninh is a very nice person, very sweet, but I think she's a horrible teacher. She did not capture my attention as a student and she went too fast through her material. The books are great, her concepts are great but her teaching methods are dull. Close readings throughout the quarter, one midterm- 3 short answer questions- and one final.

A good professor - the concepts she introduces are sometimes hard to understand, but she is more than willing to help clarify. A fair amount of reading, but the books were good. Made an effort to get to know my name. Definitely recommend.

Interesting topics and ideas raised in lecture. Professor talks pretty fast. You need to elaborate on the concepts she introduces on the exams. Not an easy class but she is very helpful in OHs.

Prof. Ninh is awesome. She is one of my favorites teacher here at UCSB. She isnt one of those lame teachers who assigns boring books but assigns books that she knows students will get a kick out of reading. She is extremely intelligent and very objective. She does speak fast but she is very will and helpful to students who meet her in OHs.

Teacher talks super fast and the reading is kind of heavy. Really helpful office hours and is super easy on the eyes

She is so nice in office hours and the class introduces some cool concepts and the books are not bad to read at all. Visit her in office hours because she talks to fast.

I had never thought about the topics covered until I took this class. It's very interesting. Prof Ninh makes class discussions thought provoking& although attendance isn't manditory, I always went because I enjoyed listening to the discussions. This class is an easy A with no formal type of test, just 3 easy papers and a group project.

She is so nice and helpful in office hours. Although she has a tendency to speak way to fast she is happy to clarify and she has some really interesting ideas.

I have taken two classes with this professsor. She was one that changed my outlook on education and encouraged me to find my direction in the class. She is perceptive, eloquent, and fair. She has brought me to new conclusions and broadened my perspective in subjects i thought i knew things about. i didn't.
