Super passionate about his work with good lectures. Chill and funny prof. Prepare to read a lot as there are weekly discussions and some papers and a final project, but all of it is really fun and engaging. Other outside activities to participate in for class but really fun!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2821373","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:56:58.550458+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQwNDQyNTE1","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2821373","instructor_name":"Alexander Hopp","course_label":"ASIANAM170","course_id":"ASIANAM 170","course_uid":"course_e8afa932dbca5c0a01be5d35","review_date":"2024-12-27 00:46:01 +0000 UTC","comment":"Wonderful, sincere, thoughtful, understanding, fervent, young, down-to-earth guy. His lectures are impassioned and provocative. He gives meaningful feedback on essays. He's down to discuss class content or life. He really cares. Communicate with him if you have any concerns; he will listen and accommodate you. Glad to have crossed paths with Alex.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2821373","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 15:58:08.498227+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM2MjMyMzE5","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2392019","instructor_name":"Yang Sao Xiong","course_label":"ASIANAM170","course_id":"ASIANAM 170","course_uid":"course_e8afa932dbca5c0a01be5d35","review_date":"2022-05-03 22:48:46 +0000 UTC","comment":"Professor Xiong set the bar high for the energy he brings to lecture.

His lectures are amazing, engaging, and unbelievably thought out. His class sections are generally small enough to be just students and him. My entire semester, I'd tune into class and it'd normally be just seven students and him. I absolutely adored this course.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2392019","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":1.0}]
