Reviews of professor Kia Yang

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The course was filled with quizzes, oral exams, group projects, and presentations. . The most painful four semesters of my life as this class is not meant for beginners. I received more help from my relatives. Although this course was difficult, this course made me appreciate aspects within the Hmong culture while also helping my Hmong skills.

Prof. Kia is caring, nice, and willing to help. But, this class is the most boring class I've ever taken. Lecture heavy; she reads straight from the book. The only benefit you'd get from going to class is hearing the pronunciation and the corrections of mistakes in the textbook. Midterm required us to know more Hmong than we learned to get an A

*This class will be difficult for non-native speakers* Kia is a decent instructor, she is nice and kind. She wants her students to learn and encourages them to ask questions. What to expect: speaking, listening, reading, and writing in Hmong. Classwork is a mix of short paragraphs, projects, quizzes, discussions, and presentations.

Kia was incredibly sweet. Her class was fun (e.g. homework was a paper craft), and she was eager to answer questions. You can tell she genuinely wants to share her culture by the way she engages with the class in unique ways. Attendance was the only area where I lost a lot of points; assignments are fair and not hard if you give them a good shot.
