Reviews of professor Gena Gong

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class had potential - I'm disappointed in how it turned out. She left early sem for surgery and upon her return, she kept switching grading criteria and fell very far behind on grading assignments. There were a bunch of readings that didn't really apply to the writing prompts until we reached the final essay. I basically had to teach myself.

Prof. Gong was okay. Class started off great but quickly went downhill. She gives a lot of time for students to do assignments. However, she's a slow grader and kept forgetting to open assignments. When she realized they weren't open, she'd blame the students. She did this two times. Class is over and she has yet to grade the final project.

Took her online class. The only thing is her directions are not clear. On the syllabus, stuff would be due on a certain date but when she posts up announcements, its due earlier. Its confusing & you cant rely on the calendar on canvas. She doesn't post correct due dates so always make sure you finished the assignments way earlier than its due date.

It seemed to be an average class. She was gone for most of the semester due to surgery but wasn't timely with grading.

Not the best or worst. Got really behind with grading this sem which was really frustrating. Its super easy to fall behind and miss an assignment, especially with missing deadlines that were mixed up and not clarified during the pandemic, but overall an easy class. If you can find anyone else w a higher rating I would take them, but she's ok.

As this was her first semester on canvas there were many issues at the beginning of the semester, she eventual gave everyone 100% on everything just to catch up. Modules every other week as well as a quiz and a discussion post every view weeks. The essay was a 200-word photo essay. The final was optional and could be taken for extra credit.

Do not take this teacher! Very unclear with directions and has homework due earlier than it says it is supposed to be on the syllabus. Does not go back and reopen past assignments that you may have missed or did wrong. Make sure to do extra credit if you are planning to take this teacher.

It was her first time teaching this class so I understand. Despite that, she was hilarious, her laugh is contagious. She is open to talk about anything and is an easy grader. There was two books, but used one for online discussions. 2 short papers, and 1 final project. Lecture/video can get boring but are interesting. Take the class!

Very unorganized class. Does not stick to the schedule on syllabus, so make sure to continuously check Canvas and the online resource that is required. Overall, it was a fairly easy course, but you have to do everything on time because she does not accept late work. Just stay on top of everything and you will be fine!
