This was my last class in UCSB. I really enjoyed this class and learned a lot. The homework is a little bit heavy, but she really cares about us and gives us good feedback.
Finished a whole year of Chinese with Prof. Hsu and loved it. She's a really great teacher and truly cares for all of her students. It was difficult at first, but make sure to utilize all of the resources on GauchoSpace; it helps you study more efficiently. Quizzes every week, tests every other week, but it's all manageable and enjoyable.
Hsu Laoshi is really funny and nice. My Chinese skill has skyrocketed in just one quarter. She's also really sassy and shares interesting stories from her life in Chinese. There is quite a bit of homework, but it is doable if u manage ur time well. Tests are ok as long as you study beforehand. Go to class and turn things on time!
Pretty cool teacher, you can tell that she cares about the class and tries her best to teach. She can unintentionally say some mean things (mean by american standards), but she means well.
One of my favorite professors at UCSB. She knows how to teach the material well and keeps the class engaged and entertained. A lot of work with weekly quizzes and homework, but all very easy and routine. Definitely recommend!
Hsu laoshi was a pretty good professor. She did a wonderful job of teaching and made the class interesting. In terms of the coursework, there were homework assingments for every Chapter and a test for every 2 units. Clear grading guidelines. Would take agian.
