Reviews of professor Kia Yang

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Good luck if you're not a heritage speaker. She writes tests with vocabulary that no beginner speakers would know, midterms/final aren't written on workbook content, and lectures are lazy. No Friday class which is nice. Weekly listening quizzes are hard for non-heritage. Don't expect to have your hand held or to get a lot of help on anything.

Professor Kia was very sweet and kind, but it was hard to learn because the lessons are straight from the textbook which for a lot of people is not the best way to retain the information, but this was not a difficult class. Long and monotonous lectures but the weekly quizzes, mid-term, and presentations were manageable.

XF Kia is a caring professor. She teaches and makes sure you're following along well. Weekly quizzes. Tests are formatted all the same. Ask questions if you don't understand, since she'll help you.

Xibfwb Kia is very sweet and easy going. She makes Hmong easy to learn and I was fortunate to have learned Hmoob from her. I believe it'll be hard to catch if you weren't grown into the Hmong-speaking culture, but the class is very welcoming of anyone and everyone :)) Course load is light.

Professor Kia isn't bad at all. She's super nice and cares about her students, but definitely this class wouldn't be for people who are non-heritage or is EXTEMEMLY beginner. I knew the basics of Hmong so I was able to pass with an easy A. However, for students who don't know Hmong or the basics, it will be pretty hard because the class go by fast
