Fall 2019 - The required readings were very engaging and interesting. Participation matters in this class so be sure to do the readings and be aware of all information. She is a tough grader. Simple reading responses (mainly essays on your opinion) she grades for content. Also, for her essays she grades VERY hard. The class average for our first essay was a "C" and she was proud of that. Personally, I have very high standards so I was a bit upset when she stated that. To do well on essays, I highly recommend to get additional support. Go to the Undergraduate Writing Center or Writing Success Program, book an appointment and be sure to carefully edit your essay before you turn it in. She is very picky about formatting, grammar and just everything. In the beginning of the quarter, she did signs of favoritism which made me feel uncomfortable however as the quarter was ending, I just got over it. Also, she doesn't really respond to emails BUT She is a good professor and passionate because she supports you by having workshops (grammar, MLA format, word choice, passive voice) and mandatory office hours.

Fall 2024 - Professor Wang is an incredibly helpful professor. She was by far the most kind and understanding professor that I've had this quarter. She truly listens to her students and takes the time to speak to everyone one-on-one to improve their writing without hindering their voice/style. I find that lots of professors/teachers try to alter your writing style however Wang does not do that and rather tries to find where you struggle in your writing and try to strengthen it rather than replace it. She is very passionate about what she teaches and expands on the idea of what language is and challenges the idea of what is "perfect" English and writing. I would highly recommend taking Professor Wang, she made the class easy to navigate. She does however do very heavy slide lectures and encourages lots of in-class group project assignments, however, they are all manageable and quick to do. If you have the option to take Professor Wang, would highly suggest it.

Really nice, caring and concerned. Lots of writing at first but work load starts to ease off. Class is relatively easy, it gets boring though. Office hour is extremely helpful, she goes through your paper with you paragraph by paragraph, pointing out what's not working and what's ok. I really recommend her.
