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 :)

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

The sweetest, most respectful, and most accommodating professor I've had at this school! She deeply cares for her students and knows how to teach them in ways that make the material really stick in your mind. Textbook is necessary, but she'll give you copies of the hw worksheets. Frequent tests and homework. Teaches the entire 1-3NH sequence!

Very nice and understanding! Creates a comfortable environment that encourages students to speak Chinese without being afraid of getting embarassed. For 1NH, you definitely need to get the textbook (ok if used) and student activities manual (should get new because it's hw). You can save $ by not getting the character book b/c she gives out copies.

GREAT teacher. Obviously you have to go to class everyday or you will do poorly. She gives out study guides for tests and tells you what will be on quizzes. Very supportive and easy to go to for help. There is homework and some group projects. Overall, great language class because Chen Laoshi is there to help you. If you try, you will do well.

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.
