Comment:

Dr. Qi is a super nice professor! He is very approachable and his papers although long are simple. He takes the time to help you earn good grades and is always accessible by email. All of the homework is on blackboard along with the midterm and final. Not as bad as it seems. Help with the paper is great, definitely take advantage of this!

Comment:

Not a helpful professor. Took him for an online course and i felt like there was a ton of unnecessary work. You receive a participation grade twice throughout the semester, during midterms and then finals and you grade depends on it. Wouldn't take him again because of the work load and amount of posts needed for the class.

Comment:

Online classes can be challenging at times, and taking English classes online is no exception, but Dr. Qi made ENG106 so enjoyable and interesting that it felt like I was right there in his classroom. Therefore, I highly recommend taking any class taught by Dr. Qi, as he is an inspiring educator who has truly honed his craft!

Comment:

Great teacher! There are three quizzes (which are taken online - and class is cancelled during the quiz so you can actually take it), and one answer to one question regarding an assigned story is due once a week. It's not a lot of work, but you have to do it and read the stories in order to pass. He is also very understanding and reasonable.

Comment:

WORST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. This was an online course and he assigned essays on quizzes and he would never correct you so you would never know what you did wrong. He was never helpful and you can bust ur butt in the class and still not get an A. He is the worst stay away.

Doctor Qi is a very good professor. He does have a thick accent, but he is easy to understand, very lively, and makes learning fun. He does his best to bring life to what many consider a dry subject.

Dr. Qi takes his time to explain even the most difficult work in easy to understand terms. He shares a lot of background information pertaining to each subject studied, keeps class very interesting as he is quite animated and lively. He is a terrific teacher and his course is easy to follow. Take his class!!!!!

Comment:

i dont understand how his easiness is rated in the 4's. i'm not sure if he changed his criteria or what but the class can't be considered easy. a lot of reading and in class writings. he made the class a half hybrid so only had to go once a week which was convenient for a commuter. midterm and final are not that hard yet not that easy.

He's a nice guy and very animated but sometimes gets off on tangents unrelated to class. The class was easy and didn't have too much work but I would have liked better or more varied readings.

Comment:

I disagree with the previous poster... I took winter session intro to fiction... was pretty easy - Dr. Qi responded quickly to e-mails, participated in discussions - was knowledgealable, friendly, helpful - this was a good class... I definitely suggest taking. Class was composed of online discussions and four quizes... some tricky questions!
