Told me that he didn't like the way I write and that I wouldn't get higher than a C in his class. Would advise you to take this course with another professor! |

This guy lectures for the entire duration of class with no slides and is super monotone, then expects you to remember everything he said including his thoughts on it and regurgitate those thoughts in exams. He is also a rude personality and acts petty when he dislikes a student. Don’t take him, not worth your time! |

I have to agree 100% with the review below. Orrin’s class is very politicized when the content of the course definitely does not call for it. His grading is extremely subjective - I read on one of his reviews that he picks favorites, which is all too clear from my experience in his class. I have all A’s in my other courses, but in Wang’s, I have a low B even though I have done all the work to the best of my ability and have been very attentive in class. Randomly brings up race, when it has no relation at all to the topic (honestly borderline racist!) Do not take him! As the person below said, the course may sound fun, but Wang himself is anything but. |

During mid semester, the highest grade in the entire class was around an A-. Preaches his opinions during class and tests you on them. Says he welcomes discussion, but class time is really just him preaching his opinions. He grades extremely subjectively and is overall pretty difficult. I get that the class he teaches may sound interesting, but it's really not worth it. |

He's a great professor. The class is difficult, especially for someone like me who doesn't respond well to poetry, but I found myself more simply out of my comfort zone rather than really disliking the class. It's an upper-level class and he treats it as such while managing to still be really funny. Two papers, one research paper, and a final. The only bad thing, as with all Lit classes, is that the lectures tend to get really convoluted. If you're into English though, it shouldn't be anything out of the ordinary. Would definitely recommend him. |
