This class definitely is fast paced and you need to put extra work to get good grades. I felt that the quizzes and homework were helpful to study towards the unit tests. However, I often thought that I needed to go to at least one office hour session before the test to actually feel confident in all the material. I think this is because you learn so much vocabulary and grammar structures, that the professors can not teach everything in depth during class time. I found He Laoshi to be very welcoming and helpful during her office hours. She would try to explain harder concepts easily because she understands learning Chinese as a second language. Homework and quizzes almost everyday, but the homework was graded by completion so it made it less stressful.

My experience within the course is great. I have always had a fascination for the language and to finally take it at an institution that teaches is so well helps me to understand that 101 and on will help me progress in this journey. I highly recommend this course and on if you feel the same as me.

He Laoshi and Du Laoshi are both so amazing at what they do. This class definitely has a large workload, but it is so worth it, even if you have an ounce of interest in the language. There is a lot of cold calling in this course, but eventually you get used to being put on the spot. As for the exams, if you keep up with your homework and make sure to prepare properly for class, you'll be fine (I personally never had to cram studying for hours straight).
