Comment:

He laoshi is friendly, funny and nice. Has lots of stories. Tests are fair, very similar to homework, but she does include a lot of unfamiliar words for some reason. Very dedicated to her students. We had 7 lessons in one quarter, 3 exams, 7 hw's, 3 vocal quizzes. Does daily attendence quiz for credit. Great professor!

Comment:

This professor is just absolutely amazing, most heartbreakingly dedicated teacher ever. So she shows up to our last class all bruised up and explains how she got mugged and punched in the face several times and has a cracked ribcage but says she had to be here instead of resting because the students needed her before the final.Wow He laoshi.

Comment:

I had her all three quarters of first quarter Chinese. Her English is not that great, but she is still a good teacher that tells funny stories. She is kind of intimidating one-on-one, however. If you are like me and are going in knowing how to write virtually no Chinese characters, I recommend taking P/NP first quarter.

Comment:

This is the worst professor I have ever had in all four years of taking classes at UCSD. She is never clear on due dates (keeps changing her due dates every time she talks), never replies to emails, comes to class late, she is rude, doesn't understand english, and makes many mistakes in her tests and textbook.

Comment:

I had He lao shi for one year, lectures are always the same format ands he can seem scary at times. Study the textbook: vocabulary and grammar notes. Tests are not too difficult, but studying is time-consuming.

Comment:

Cons: Seems scatter-brained at times. Can be a little condescending if a student doesn't get a grammar point right away. Extremely long finals. Pros: Goes over said grammar points a million times in class anyway. Tells entertaining stories in class. Cheap reader($16!) Most quiz questions lifted directly from homework questions.

Comment:

She can be kind of intimidating sometimes and on the blunt side when you don't get something. However, awesome professor who knows how to teach a language and how to relate to her students. HW is just graded on completion but the tests are pretty challenging. Learned more Chinese in one quarter than I learned in like 12 years of Chinese school!

The best Chinese prof in the school. I have taken others, but she is probably the best at teaching. Very engaging with students and organized. Exams can be difficult, but much is what was reviewed in class from the HW.

Great Professor. Good sense of humor. She expects participation so be there and get to class on time, she docks off points for tardiness. Highly recommend!

Comment:

She's an interesting lecturer and expects classroom participation. Sometimes she can be a little annoying but it's usually because of a misunderstanding. Overall, I enjoyed being in her class. I got an A in Chinese 13 because I attended every single lecture all year long (chin 11, 12, 13), whereas I probably would have received an A- had I not.

Comment:

She's engaging and funny; she sidetracks and tells stories during class, and she cracks jokes. When I put in the effort to meet her halfway (which take much anyway), I seldom find myself watching the clock.

Professor He is very experienced and knows how to keep the class on their toes at all time. Her anal retentiveness gets on my nerves but as a teacher, she's okay. She takes attendance everytime and it counts toward your grade so if you want an A, go.

She's ok...i guess. Needs to learn how to read better cuz she could never read my name. And she needs to stop saying "Ho" and "Ok" cuz it gets really annoying. other than that....she's ok.
