Professor Wong is very insightful and knows a lot about many things even outside of his primary fields (which makes sense given the reading list for this class), but the caveat is that his class is extremely difficult to get a 4.0 in because of how high his expectations are, which is understandable. He is open to making appointments to develop whatever essay you're writing which is good.

This is a very reading- and writing-intensive course, so be sure to take as many notes as you can and utilize Prof. Wong's office hours when necessary. Reading material is great.

Wong is a very knowledgeable and helpful professor, try to take a class with him before he retires (which will be soon, he told my class when I had him).

Good introduction to a lot of the concepts other English courses teach in more depth as well as a good review of ENGL 202’s “five main modes of criticism” spiel. Flexible assignments where it’s easy to get at least a decent grade. Lots of academic writing and lots of reading but it’s not the busiest course I’ve taken. A lot of students had issues with my professor’s attendance policy but I think it was fair.

Professor Popov (retired now) is very knowledgeable about...well, everything, but he’s dull and rather unexpressive. That said, he’s a fair grader and the assignments are rather easy.

Most of the profs who teach it now are good. I’ve had two (Clare and Foster) for different classes and had a great time with both. Popov I would have recommended if you like lecture courses where there isn’t much to engage with peers in.
