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 amazing! You can tell she cares a lot about her students and always comes to class with a smile on her face and an impressive amount of energy. Only had 3 tests during the quarter (and final project in addition to final exam), homework was easy, and she almost always accepted late work. Overall great class and phenomenal professor.

Chen laoshi is such a kind professor. She calls her students her "children". She is extremely energetic and hard working. You will get your grades back quickly. Sometimes, she moves a little too quickly, but she's always ready for feedback. Definitely go to her office hours and the events she plans. She also gives you reliable study guides!!!

I LOVE Chen Laoshi!! Regardless of whether you have any experience with the language, she'll meet you where you're at and answer any questions you have. I self-studied a bit before the class and found the order in which we were learning things a little odd in the beginning, but outside of my pickiness, I've really enjoyed the class :)
