Comment:
In general, he is a very nice guy with a passion for Chinese culture as well as the language. He can trail on a bit and be monotone, but he's really accommodating for students and is always eager to clarify things. TONS of readings and films, but as long as you put forth effort, you should be good

Comment:
he is a very nice prof. he can talk in very fluent Chinese and is really knowlegable to East Asian culture. his problem is writing too much on board, and you don't really know what those material he wrote for..he hates to see you did't read the assigned reading. you don't have to write a GOOD paper, but better a INTERESTING one. grade is reasonable

Comment:
This course talks about texts and films from Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. You watch about 2 films for each one and the readings are long and boring. Films were pretty good overall. Again, isn't clear a lot of times and is mono-tone when lecturing. Class is 3hr and break is 5 mins... nice guy, tries to help but class is BoRinG.

Comment:
He's friendly, tries to be helpful but sometimes not very good at it. Clarity is very vague sometimes. Material he uses is good and bad. Some are interesting and enjoyable to read/watch (Don Quixote/Journey to the West/ Motorcycle Diaries). And some r boring n confusing (Ulysses Gaze/Basho's Poems). Don't expect an exciting atmosphere. Overall okay

Comment:
If you are a person who doesn't like to have 3 hr long "lectures" in a "seminar" course, avoid this instructor if you can. If this course was to be a judge of anything, the teaching was extremely "half-assed," as was any enth

Comment:
Very unhelpful. Seemed defensive whenever you would ask questions. He would ramble on and on, and there was absolutely no focus to his lectures. He would answer his own questions. He was bored, we were bored -- the class would count done to break time.

Friendly,smart and very pleasant.He is a very good professor, his only problem is that his course content is outdated and are tied together very loosely. His lectures are interesting only if you like the subject, if not, it's impossible to care!

has his favourites in the class. No matter how hard you work, your grade won't change, but he gave me a fair grade. "lectures" and I use the term loosely, are boring and unfocused.

Is never availiable to meet with or go over grades given. Leave country the day of final exam so you are stuck with your marks and cannot discuss themn with him, and therefor cannot meet with admin to discuss. He loves his subject though.
