Reviews of professor Yen-Li Loh

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Yen is cool and is obviously very educated in the subject, but this class is so dense that the amount of work she expects of her students is unrealistic. There are 10 pop quizzes, meaning one pop quiz a week, and unless you read the textbook word for word AND take notes, which can take four hours per chapter, you won't pass them.

Yen was awesome. I learned a lot, she grades fast, and gives some nice feedback. I'm leaving this class a better writer and I hope I get the chance to take another class led by her.

There were four main papers and each of them takes time to complete. Make sure you do them ahead and be REALLY confident with your research topic otherwise itd be a pain to keep changing thesis statements/ideas. Attendance is extremely mandatory. My topic on the last final paper was finally clear when I asked for feedback, so take advantage of it!

Hands down the best English class I've taken. It's very clear that Dr. Loh knows what she's talking about. You do have to actually read the readings, as she has 10 pop quizzes, but take notes and review them and the quizzes aren't too bad. Take advantage of office hours for essays. If you're willing to put in the work, this class is super fun.
