WLS professor wiebe is great. She can explain everything in detail and is super nice to interact with students on the class. There are no pressure on the class and you can really learn a lot from the class

Professor Wiebe is very enthusiastic and a fun lecturer. She is very clear in her explanations of grammar and vocabulary, and is a pleasure to talk to. She is very understanding and accommodating, and communicating your needs with her is very effective. She is also very clear in her expectations for pre-class work however. She does expect that you have at least looked through vocab before class, and read the lesson's text to the point that you won't be stuttering through it, or looking up how to pronounce a character. The class mostly consisted of lecture, with very frequent dictation quizzes. When I say frequent, I mean frequent. Some weeks there were quizzes every day, so you do need to keep a consistent study schedule. The tests were fine if you were okay with the first-year level tests, and these tests don't have any long essay-type questions. There were two skits total for the class, and although they were a little stressful, were really fun. The transition between first-year and second-year Chinese wasn't too dramatic from what I remember, and I definitely recommend continuing on with Chinese. It may be a bit of an adjustment if you are placing into this course however.
