CHIN4 . Chen S C 5 Years Ago

Chen laoshi is an amazing teacher to learn a new language with. She makes sure that each student has an opportunity to participate and practice what they learn. She gives lots of feedback in and out of class too. In general, she creates a very friendly environment for the students. She made this quarter fun and informational despite being remote.

She is the sweetest thing, she really cares for her students and she even hosts events like hotpot night. She gives rewards, prizes, snacks. The class has a lot of HW but if you turn it in on time it's basically an A. Tests are easy and straight forward. I look forward to her class every day, its a nice break from other lectures.

There is a lot of busy work associated with this class, would not take it with too many other units. She is really sweet and nice and wants you to succeed. Try to come to class so you know when stuff is due. Gives study guides that are basically the tests. Easy A, just put in the work for the assignments and participate in the class.

Really sweet and caring. Can be a *bit* scatterbrained and disorganized, but it's very minor. She wants every student to succeed in the class, and tries to get everyone to participate. The tests are very easy and doable if you just come to class and do the homework. A lot of homework and frequent tests. Gives you cultural studies exercises too.

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.

She makes the class VERY interesting. Homework is assigned pretty much every week and consists of repetitive character sets. Weekly quizzes are also given on the characters studied the week prior. The class is easy enough, but focus on remembering how to write the characters. I HIGHLY recommend taking her above any of the other teachers! :)

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.
