Comment:
Awesome professor very straight forward, sometimes he can be dry but the class discussions that he would lead would be very thought provoking and force us to look beyond the textbooks and into the actual people we were studying and reading about. If I needed any help he would always make the time available.

Fantastic teacher. Absolutely intelligent and prepared. Coming into his trad. class I really had a lukewarm interest in East Asian history. Loved the fascinating history and his very straightforward presentation. Went on to take as many courses with him as I could.

I took many classes with Professor Wang and though his classes weren't always easy, he cares about his students and helping them to succeed. Great guy to talk to outside of class and is genuinely interested in his students' success.

I studied for weeks before taking his exams. They were absolutely ridiculous, and the lectures were extremely boring. I'd avoid this class if you can.

Took him for modern east Asia. His class is very interesting and he teaches with PowerPoints and shows one movie that is great. You don't have to read everything he assigns just skim it and attend class. Also read the two books from your book reports because he makes you talk about them.

Not the most interesting class, and Wang can be kind of inconsistent when grading. Fell asleep a few times.

This man is so intelligent it's intimidating when you have a conversation with him. The reading assignments aren't overwhelming but he's a hard grader.

Women in East Asian History. Wang is a quiet but brilliant man who can come off as indifferent but go visit him outside of class. He cares about his students and he loves history. I took his survey course, hated it, dropped it. later HAD to take his seminar, best class ever. He is very accommodating but still a hard grader.

I took a basic survey course with him and hated every second of it. Then I took his new seminar Women in East Asian History. He's the best history professor I've ever had. Go see him during his office hours, show him you care. He's fantastic I wish he taught European history courses...

Prepare yourselves. Bring plenty of staples for your stapler. You will need to staple your eyelids open. No joke

had Wang for 4 classes between 94-97. he is a really intersting teacher and really interesting man. Knows a lot and has a lot to say. Is extremely halpful and available outside of class. I highly recommend him--and although class can be a little boring at times--it is well worth it for what you get in the end.

He was a very good and interesting professor. He structured things very well, and was accomodating when students were skipping class to leave early for thanksgiving (the class was at 4-5:15 on TTH) the assignments were reasonable. I'd recommend him to anyone, and I would love to take another class with him.

The class was ridiculous!!!! If you're looking for a fun and interesting class don't take him, it's not fun and he takes all of the intrigue out of it. Extremely hard grading.
