Wang laoshi is an enthusiastic and understanding instructor. She is so clearly passionate about the course's content and is dedicated to making sure students can get as much as they can out of the class without it being too stressful. Most homeworks are based on completion, with one weekly tingxie and a weekly short typed essay. Grading is extremely fair and sometimes maybe too easy. The stories and films for the course teach students a lot about Chinese and Taiwanese culture and history and are clearly very carefully curated by wang laoshi. Class discussion is highly dependent on other students in the class and how motivated they are, but wang laoshi is enthusiastic either way. This has been by far my favorite Chinese class in the department and wang laoshi is maybe my favorite professor on campus. 11/10 would take again.

I hated this class, make sure that you don’t upset and try your best not to fall asleep because if she catches you she’ll continuously call on you to answer questions. Unfortunately, me and other girls fell asleep and sometimes she saw us. What’s even worse is how she grades, I wrote by far, my best Final paper and I had even submitted it to review to her before, and did EVERY correction she said to do but she still gave me a grade around 85. When I read her suggestions it was literally contradictory to what she had TOLD ME TO DO. Don’t take this as your FYSE willingly.
