Reviews of professor Joseph Ho

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I loved this class. It was really easy to follow along (not because the course was super easy but the way it was presented). The only issue I had was with the midterm and final exam. The first was super stressful but after talking it out with Dr. Ho, he made adjustments for the finalthough it was still tough.

The most creative history class ever. Dr. Ho had lots of activities on making or thinking about images in East Asian history. Reading and discussion was sometimes tough, but there was often something fun to do, from developing our own film in the darkroom to shooting a silent movie, making propaganda posters, and watching anime. Very caring prof.

A great professor who really cares and is so passionate about what he teaches. I took his WWII in the Pacific and East Asian history classes and learned so much from both of them. The WWII class had a lot of reading and discussion but the topics were always interesting and eye opening.

Visualizing East Asia with Dr. Ho was the most fun and interesting class I have ever taken. I loved the creative activities and how they connected to the history we discussed. Dr. Ho has such a welcoming personality and was always available whenever I needed help or wanted to talk about my interests.

An amazing professor who brings history to life. Participation and keeping with readings are a big part, but Dr. Hos classes are totally worth it. Ask him about his research! He has lots of fun stories and artifacts.
