She's the greatest of all time. She's clearly extremely passionate about teaching not only Hmong, but the traditions instilled in the language for generations. She's also very caring and works to build relationships with all her students. It's clear she loves what she does.Rate My Professors ↗

Professor Choua is an amazing professor. PLEASE KNOW A LITTLE HMONG. You will be stuck on many things if you do not know much on reading or writing Hmong. She goes through the information quickly, attendance is a grade, and go to her office hours if youre stuck. Lots of info, but just study and her grading is lenient. you'll be called on too hehe.Rate My Professors ↗
Had Professor Chong for ASIALANG225 AND 226 in Fall 2020 and Spring 2021. She's proficient in the language and the culture however, I don't know if I really learned what I wanted to learn. If you're struggling it's best to reach out to her. I did well only because everything was remote. It might be a different story if I had her in person.Rate My Professors ↗
Grading system is unclear I'm Hmong myself but can't spell and speak it well She teaches this super fast and it was hard to catch on, u have to study a lot but not a lot of hw. Quizes are ok bc they're short but exams are hard bc u have to remember a lot. A bit unorganized and ends class late often. NOT AN EASY A but enjoyed it. She's understandingRate My Professors ↗
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HMONG OR ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT, DONT TAKE THIS. If you do, there isn't much work and tests are laid out. But, Choua is spontaneous and her directions for assignments are not very good. She is however, a pretty cool person if you want to build connections with Hmong faculty members.Rate My Professors ↗
