Reviews of professor David Ngo

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Readings and sometimes films every week. 3 different writing assignments (easy prompts). Discussions graded at the end of every week with feedback and professor actually read them! Very responsive & fun professor. Group project about AAPI celebrity which was fun. Course organized very well with modules for each week. Loved the class!

For his first year of teaching, Prof Ngo did a great job. He has a lot of knowledge and background in the field, so his lectures are interesting. It was a bit lecture heavy in the beginning, but once he got his groove he began to make jokes and insight serious discussions about AAs in film and media. Midterm and final are essays. Really fun prof :)

I loved his class! His class was so easy yet so engaging and enthralling despite it being 100% asynchronous. It was a 4-week summer class and every week had a different theme. You watch movies and unique videos, and read articles. Weekly discussion boards. No exams/quizzes. One paper at the end. Don't procrastinate. I was sad when the class ended.

So glad I took this class with him! He is AMAZING. I definitely recommend him. The class was asynchronous. The class was very well structured and organized. There are weekly discussions posts with replies, a group project, 3 reflection papers, a essay midterm and final. Overall, great and rewarding class!

He is a great professor! I actually enjoyed learning the material in his class. The workload was manageable. There were weekly discussions, one midterm paper, one group project, and a final paper.

Great professor, definitely one of my favorites! Make sure you all do the assignments and it will be a breeze! There are extra credit opportunities that you can do. I recommend noting all of the due dates so you do not miss them!

Such a nice professor. He clearly cares about the class and what he is doing, especially during this time. Easy class! Just do the assignments. There are weekly discussions, papers, and one group project.

I had him completely online post lockdown, Spring 2021. He's ok but very, very boring. He doesn't put a lot of effort into making it interesting or getting creative. His lectures are boring and his assignments are boring, basically the same assignment repeated. LOTS of writing. Not particularly hard but not engaging at all. Hard to stay awake.

Took this class online. He is a great professor and is always more than happy to help his students. The workload wasn't that bad. There were weekly discussions, a midterm paper, a group project, and a final paper. Would recommend this professor!

This prof is amazing and loves to teach! Many things to read and watch, but I learned a lot. Easy to reach out to, and responds quickly. Very clear on instructions. Great experience overall.
