I think Moran is a great professor and was very passionate about the material. You def watch a lot of movies, 2 per a week and some were kinda boring but most were really good. This was all discussion based and on the whole discussion was pretty good, again Moran is very knowledgable, but it would be frustrating when it was obvious a lot of the class hadn't watched a movie. Workload was honestly pretty light for non-CW students, it was 2 papers, weekly discussion posts and a presentation. Moran is a very fair grader.

I loved this class, it was one of my favorites I have ever taken at Middlebury. Moran is a great professor, he obviously loves the material and is quite knowledgable, he is a very fair grader and is also very accommodating as he frequently moved paper deadlines. I think he is an incredibly professor and if you respect him he will respect you and your time. The material was very interesting, honestly the reading isn't that bad for a literature class and it is interspersed with films. Workload is pretty solid, its three papers throughout the semester along with some discussion posts. This class was mostly discussion based and the discussions were fantastic and people really cared about the material. If you are at all interested I would recommend taking this class.

honestly I think everyone knows this is a super hard class. its endless work and so much homework and exams and surprise quizzes, presentations, drill work etc - BUT if you like chinese, and put in the work, you will come out of the winter term so much more proficient in the language you will shock yourself - its one of those classes that pays of in the long run. Chinese Department unironically the most supportive department at middlebury no complaints there at all
