Chialan Sharon Wang

This course is so intense and hard and Wang Laoshi made it enjoyable. She is tough on grading but incredibly accommodating for late homework and other assignments. She puts a lot of effort to make sure every student is keeping up. That said, there is an insane amount of nightly homework, and around 50 vocab words per week. This class is a very big time commitment. But it is very fun and you learn a lot. My Chinese improved so much.

I loved Professor Wang, she is very understanding when it comes to busy schedules and late assignments. Even with grading, she will not dock you 2 points if you missed a stroke on a character. She reviews the material in a way that's very simple to understand and I appreciated her overall teaching style!

Sharon is very passionate about film and what she teaches. Every week there's one film to watch. Sometimes there are two. After every film, there's a reading we discuss in class. 2 small partnered presentations, 2 papers, and one final project, which can be in any format approved by Sharon.
