Intermediate Chinese is difficult, fast-paced, but so worth it! Prof. Wiebe is one of the best professors I've had, and she really pushes students to fully understand material. Expect 3-4 dictation quizzes a week, in both Traditional and Simplified characters. Exams are difficult, and the second-semester exam included content from the first semester CHNS 201
Professor Moran was probably my favorite professor. I loved the class and I thought the films were super powerful and relevant to understanding modern day China. We had a few essays and a few presentations, but they weren't stressful because the professor and class was so chill.
Chinese 103 is an absolute blast, and I had a ton of fun going through it despite the 8.40 wake up daily. The material is relevant, helpful, challenging, but not impossible, and I really feel that the work I put into the class shows in the ways I'm able to speak/read/write. Its a lot of effort, but more than enough payoff.
