Chief definitely cares about your learning. Did pretty bad on the first midterm in Chin1, went to his office hours, and did well for the rest of the quarter. Chinese classes or any classes in general definitely take a lot of time, but in the end, you usually end up with that A that you want as long as you study. If anyone of you needs chinese 1, 2, 3 textbooks, let me know! email: aymetrang@gmail.com !!! Trying to get rid of them since I will never need them again!

Winter 2018 - Good professor. He goes kinda fast in lecture to actually learn the words and characters but I think his emphasis is more on practicing speaking and listening to Chinese than writing. I ended up doing lots of flashcards and that got me through the class. The final is challenging and everyone has to participate in a skit at the end of the class. He can get really pissed if he catches someone on their phone or laptop and really wants people to attend lecture. Sometimes he'll do a participation quiz just to take attendance and he'll do role by calling your name to participate in class. There are weekly quizzes in discussion so if you slack on your character memorization your grade will take a hit, but it's really easy most of the time if you've done that. Homework isn't too bad and I mostly did it the night before and it only took 2/3 hours for workbook and characters.

Spring 2019 - The pacing is definitely different from CHIN 1 and 2, as there are more sections in the textbook to cover. With that, there are more quizzes in sections. It can definitely add up quickly in terms of having to memorize words as well as doing the workbook. However, if you manage your time accordingly, this will be an easy A.
