Comment:
Professor Chang's lectures were so disorganized. He's probably better in person, but online he isn't great. I hate the group project. You definitely have to read, but you can finesse the readings for the midterm and final.

Professor Chang's class this year was based on a 30% midterm a 50% final and a 20% discussion. This is all during the current pandemic and civil unrest going on right now. Lectures aren't the best. Very disorganized tests where prompts had 6 questions attached to them. I'd hope the class is better in person.

Skimmed assigned text books; did great on exams. Group project w/ 3 essays. Exam short essays and one long essay. Final 2 long essays, and short essays. Sometimes topics are interesting. Very vague syllabus, kind of wings the class. A lot of movies in the 2nd half of quarter. I missed 4 classes and still got an A.

Recieved at A. The professor isn't great at teaching. Never read the books, only read online reviews about the reading material. Free response exams.

Super easy. Just do assigned readings and take lecture notes. Tests are essays or short essays. There is a lenient group project in discussion. I'm 5th generation Chinese and this was a real eye opener on my family history. The book Unsung Hero was a good read and reminded me of playing the Mass Effect series. Haha.

Professor Chang was pretty boring, tried to make the class interesting but in all honesty to make the class so is up to you. EXTREMELY VAGUE on the syllabus, you have to go up to him to ask questions after class. Oh yeah, and NO OFFICE HOURS HELD. Good luck taking this ridiculous class.

Good professor who knows his stuff. Also throws in a joke every now and then, though lectures are still boring. As long as you make good effort in the class, you're good to go. Make sure you do all the readings that he specifies since exams are (essay/short answer) based on them.

Always singled out me and my other white classmates during lecture. He also compared Japanese Internment to the Holocaust...not even close.

One of the greatest professors I've ever had at UCR.His lectures stick with you forever and he teaches in a very laid back manner, while still getting his point across every time.There is a really long term paper but theres always enough information to meet the pg req. He's funny, nice, and a great professor!

Chang is awesome! His lectures are very helpful, his midterms and finals are from the readings though. Some may think he's difficult, but I think as long as you talk to him and show interest/ effort he will give you a good grade. Attendance is necessary and don't slack on readings.

If you did good in AP US history in high school take this class right away: you can get an easy A without reading the books and just writing stuff you remembered about. The lectures were boring and this class actually creates racial tension instead of understanding!
