Comment:
AMS 151 is taught by different people lecturing with Edward Tang as the main person overlooking the course. Attendance isn't mandatory except for in class essays and exams, but if you don't go, be sure you watch the lecture videos. Grading is tough, especially on the essays. The tests are semi easy, there's no surprises on them. Wasn't bad.

Comment:
Although Dr. Tang was the professor of this course, he only gave 3 lectures throughout the entire semester and the rest were from other professors that rotated in. If he had been doing all the lectures himself it would have been better because the other professors were terrible. 3 in class essays and had to read two books. All in all super easy.

AMS151 is a team taught class but Dr. Tang served as the lead professor. All of the lectures are posted online and available 24/7. Attendance is only required on the days of in-class writings and tests (all multiple choice). Be sure to at least watch all of the lectures, complete the readings/film viewings, and study and you'll end up with an A.

Comment:
Dr. Tang is the lead teacher of this course, however, it is taught by many professors in the department. This makes it a little difficult for the students due to all of the different teaching styles. The content is interesting though... In class writings were easy, but graded hard. And the tests were not too bad. YOU HAVE TO STUDY AND GO TO CLASS.

Really great lectures; they were always interesting! Easy class and an easy A, but make sure you read the assigned material. The reading isn't hard, but there are like 20 questions on each test pertaining to the readings. Make sure you show up to class! Attendance does count. Besides the readings, there was hardly any out of class work.

This class is kind of interesting because it is taught by a different professor every week. The few times Professor Tang does teach, you can tell he's enthusiastic about his job. It may not have been my favorite class, but you can definitely get a good grade if you try.

Great guy. Enthusiastic about AMS. Out of all the AMS professors he is the best. He didn't really teach that much though it was mostly other speakers.

Pretty easy course. He doesn't grade harshly and is enthusiastic about course content. Allows 3 absences a semester for M/W class. Lots of reading and short essays. I enjoyed the class and 8/10 would recommend it

This class was harshly graded all around, unlike the last AMS class I took they did not scale the grades. I made the lowest grade I've ever made in this class, and I attended class and did all of the assigned readings and studied accordingly. All tests are done with scantrons and ask ridiculous questions. Do not take this class.

This class was literally all over the place. Dr. Tang was a very good when he taught but we basically had a different professor for every class. The things you learn are almost interesting but the TAs grade everything and my TA decided to be a harsh grader. I really don't think this class was worth taking.

He was fine, but his TA graded everything for him. I hated the TA and he was such a hard grader. Don't take this class, it has been my lowest grade ever

Awesome class. The lectures were all extremely interesting and the tests were just the right amount of difficult. The in-class essays were the only hard part for me. Some of the professors were much better than others, but for the most part they were all great.

Dr. Tang is a very helpful teacher. The material sometimes can be boring but he brings it to the class in a manner that doesnt make you fall asleep. He is incredibly understanding and quick to respond to emails. I highly recommend him as a teacher.

I had Dr. Tang for several classes and really like him. In general I find the subject matter of his classes not that interesting, but he makes it seem relevant and exciting. He's encouraging during discussions unless you're that person that won't shut up

Comment:
Class was taught by a host of professors but was led by Tang. Tests were very interpretive and had many confusing questions on them with the (d) and (e) answers almost always saying, "A and B" and "B and C." Tests seemed to be made in an attempt to trick students. Tang is knowledgeable, but tough

He is not interested in anyone else's opinion besides his own, and loves the sound of his own voice.
