Reviews of professor Ling Ma

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Ma was a caring yet informative professor. Class participation and small group work is important however she makes the discussions super clear and easy to follow. Her work and grading is fair and she is understanding if you need an extension. I will always recommend her class.

Ling Ma is amazing she is very caring and very nice. Taking any of her classes is an easy A if you do your reading, participate in class, and put a little bit of effort into your papers

Absolute queen. Knows so much about the content, and I have never felt more confident and relaxed in a classroom setting. I asked more questions and spoke more in this class than ever before. Every class is a real mental workout, and the long in-person classes fly by.

Most caring prof I've had in all of undergrad. 2-5 readings per class, heavily graded on participation (just speak up 1-2x a class, doesn't have to be insightful), 7 papers (1 page each), notes graded at end of course, only 1 major paper. Very understanding and sympathetic. Brilliant woman, she got her phd in this subject so she's passionate too!

Ling Ma is a very nice professor and her class is very easy but if you are someone that doesn't attend class or like to speak much your grade can suffer since attendance and participation is 33% of your grade. The class was very boring to me since most of us didn't have much to say on readings and she would drag out the class to talk.

Professor Ma is a super kind woman. She is very caring about her students and her work. Her class was never boring, and the readings were very interesting as well. I was struggling during the semester I took her class, and she was very kind and helpful with helping me get through the class and get a good grade. She is very genuine.

Professor Ma is one of the best at Geneseo. She is incredibly passionate about history and it shows. She assigns really eye-opening readings, her lectures are informative and thought-provoking, and she is just an all around sincere, compassionate, and awesome person. You will get a lot out of her class. Can't recommend Dr. Ma enough.

A real gem, best professor I had at Geneseo. Always wanted to come to class and was comfortable speaking out. Readings were interesting and she was very understanding. I went out of my way to take classes with her again.

Prof. Ma is the best teacher I've had at Geneseo so far. She is caring and knowledgeable, and makes herself quite available to students . I normally don't rave about teachers but she is definitely worth raving about. Like any class, you have to read and participate to do well, but it's well worth your time. If you like history definitely take this.
