何老师 is an incredible professor with so much enthusiasm to teach. Her teaching style is always very engaging and her sweet personality makes you enjoy every class. If you attended office hours regularly and you made improvement, they would notice it and help you with grades. There are ways to increase your grades throughout the semester. The professors are very flexible. I would just make sure you are on top of everything and don't fall behind on the recommendations/tasks they give you. Chinese will be easy if you study at least 30 minutes a day, or distribute a longer session throughout the day.

If your goal is to master Chinese, take this course. Chinese language is a hard skill to acquire and entering it with little background can be hard. The Middlebury Chinese community is very friendly and supportive, but the course is very time intensive. I recommend not balancing it alongside other reading or writing intensive course work. One must always be on their game and stay ahead of their work.

Chinese 202 is a pretty standard chinese class, nothing too different from the other chinese classes. Personally was not a huge fan of He Laoshi and wish Wu Laoshi could continue teaching the class along with Zhang Laoshi.
