I took AAS10. One of the hardest classes ever. The TA's grade super hard and are in complete and total control of your grade. In addition,they are super slow at returning back your quizzes and papers. Going into the final, I had NO IDEA where I was standing in the class because I hadn't received two big things back! Camacho reads off a paper EVERY lecture and it is VERY hard to get everything he says. There are almost no powerpoint slides and when he reads, he's not very clear either. DO NOT TAKE.

Summer 2021 - Professor deGuzman is a great professor to begin a path in Asian American Studies, or simply fulfill a GE requirement with. Although, I did not visit lectures often, he used engaging slides, brought in guest speakers, and even simulated group discussion via Jamboard and other platforms. The way to achieving an A in his class is to always finish your paper ahead of time (1-2 days before), and schedule a private 1 on 1 session for him to review the content before submission day. If he signs off on the paper, it is an automatic 100% eyes closed. However, if your rough draft doesn't completely fly on the first try, he gives spectacular feedback which will enable you to ace the paper for sure. I even failed to complete a quiz on time, and he extended the deadline for me, meaning he is lenient on tardiness and cares about the students. He gives weekly readings, which are quizzed on. However, to be honest, the quizzes were open note, so I did not stress about reading them at all.

Fall 2018 - I got an A- in this class because I didn't use my office hours to go talk to my TA about my essays. I think that if I did, I would've ended up with an A. This class has a good amount of weekly readings and Professor Fong is a great lecturer, so if you are just on top of your readings and go to class, you will be fine. The midterm and final are both short-answer and long-answer essay tests and are not too difficult.

He's a really nice guy! I came in LATE at the end of my FINAL and he let me take it still. I think there was a percentage dock, but still! That was super nice of him. He's really involved in the general community as a community historian. The class is a great foundation for anyone interested in learning about the community and their own family history.
