Reviews of professor Dominic Yang

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class is pretty relaxed, definitely one of his easier classes content-wise but still super cool learning about Taiwan. It's pretty lectured based. However, Dr. Yang is a great lecturer and despite tendencies to run over time and get sidetracked, he is very caring and passionate about teaching. Assignments are straightforward and easy to do.

Absolutely amazing guy. He legitimately made me love a course that I had no real interest in taking. He is more than fair with grading, and he is always willing to have a meaningful conversation with you. Do your work and you will get along better than most any other professor.

Dr. Yang is a fantastic teacher who is incredibly passionate about his subject. He went through a lot personally this semester, but he never quit being a fantastic professor. Textbook is interesting to read and he provides great feedback on your exams and essays.

Wonderful professor! Super smart and obviously loves what he does. Makes the class interesting and really nice to everyone and accepting of all comments/questions without making you feel dumb. He is a bit of a harsh grader (though he says he isn't), especially for a 1000 level class, but you do end up learning a LOT. Made me want to visit China!

Dr. Yang is a fantastic professor. His work made me change my focus to East Asian History. Yes, he does get on tangents during lectures. Additionally, he can be a bit of a tough grader for an introductory history course,  but he gives incredible feedback. This might not be an easy A, but the skills and lessons learned through the class are valuable

I didn't feel like he was a very good lecturer, he was always going off on some sort of tangent and we didn't spend much time on the actual material. Super tough grader too. He was accessible, but never very helpful if you did talk to him.

Phenomenal professor with a lot of passion. One of my favorite classes I have ever taken at any level. His lectures are awesome and you should attend them as they will help your understanding of the class. Lots of readings but they are worth it as they tie in well to lecture. Overall a great class that expands your knowledge of the world.
