  • The topic I had for this course was about food and food culture and how it relates to Asian diasporas. Pretty cool course but I think it was because I really liked the topic.

  • I took this course online in F21 with Vinh Nguyen. Course breakdown was: participation (25%), 2 short responses (15% each), proposal for project (10%), creative project (35%). There are required readings each week; I didn't do most of them and still got by pretty well (likely because it was online). The course content is very interesting and relevant. If you're Asian, you might even be able to relate to a lot of the topics that are discussed.

“I'm considering taking ENGL 306A. Anyone who took it, I would love to hear your opinion about it. My main concern is workload atm. Also, would you recommend the online or in-person offering? …”

u/Lil-Shiro: “… - Creative Writing I (ENGL 335) - Information Design (ENGL 392A) - Global Asian Diasporas (ENGL 346R) There’s probably more but I’m tired, feel me to ask me any questions.”
