engaging and interesting and I enjoy learning the language, but the teacher is really frustrating with how she marks, refuses to give things like rubrics for the ESSAY ASSIGNMENT so we have no idea how we are being marked, does not seem to understand what you're asking if you try to get her to clarify something despite the entire class spending 10 min rephrasing the same question, and made us spend half of each class watching videos about white people in china or doing tongue twisters about frogs. putong putong putong i guess. really demotivating

I enjoyed this class quite a lot, the teacher is very friendly and likes to go on random tangents on how young people are the future, but we still managed to get everything done. You will have to study outside of class. The assessments aren't that hard if you have studied at least 3 hours a week.

The teacher is very biased. She is always scolding students who need to leave class ON TIME for their next class. She said literally to everyone “if your Chinese is very good, why don’t you study Chinese 5 instead of Chinese 3”. She also marked very strict (about English grammar not Chinese).

moves quite a bit faster than first year chinese
