I just took her for J201; she was amazing. The class is easy to manage, especially since it's 4 credits. The TAs were awesome and gave great feedback on assignments. Definitely take this class with her for Comm B, even if you're not a journalism major like me.

Weekly quizzes, five multimodal assignments and a few peer assignment things. It's an interesting class but the multimodal assignments don't make a lot of sense and are graded strangely (the TA's comments sound AI generated?). It's an easy class and Professor Wang is super caring with stress and deadlines and easy to reach outside class.

Dr. Wang was a very kind and caring professor. She expressed her love of teaching and for her students through kind weekly emails and through her lectures. The TAs were great and they offered good feedback on the weekly modules and projects. The lectures were a bit long and sometimes it got repetitive, but overall it was an interesting class.
