the BEST !! i love chen laoshi, she's adorable. chinese is a difficult language (hence my difficulty rating), but she makes it fun and really wants to see you succeed. lots of homework, but every language requires dedication and practice. very accessible outside of class and super kind and accommodating. really glad she teaches the 122 series :)

Chen laoshi is an excellent professor. She is a prime example of a teacher that truly cares for her students and wants them to succeed. Her class creates a comfortable environment that encourages students to speak chinese. In terms of coursework, she assigns chracter exercises for each unit and there is an exam every two units. Would def take again

Learning Chinese is hard work, but I always look forward to going to Chinese class. Chen laoshi gives lots of homework and there are many quizzes and tests, but do them if you really want to succeed. She will make you talk in class, but it is essential and she won't ever embarrass you over pronunciation. She is very nice and wants you to do well.

tries to help students as much as possible. makes corny jokes, but its cute. obviously hard because its learning a new language. but just study the characters & youll be fine. must do all assignments. must attend oral review sections for points also. overall pretty easy.

chen laoshi is soo amazing! she is so invested in her students and she will take the time to help you out no matter how long it takes. she treats her students like her own children and genuinely wants everyone to excel. she is very lenient with late hw and tbh she cares more about you understanding the content than anything. HIGHLY recommend!!

Amazing professor! Teaches clearly, is helpful, and very kind. 10/10
