Comment:

Would give us long readings to do each week that we would have to do a powerpoint presentation on it in class. Was basically what lecture was, us reading off our slides, and then him going back through the slides and giving his take. Only thing you learn is from your own reading. 1 graded paper at the end, but 20 pages, which is ridiculous.

Comment:

worst ever class i've every had at cornell.very poor lectures and quite random grading.pretends to be knowledgeable but tells tons of errors(only fun thing)..sorry for cornell to have hired such a bad teacher.he seems to live in his own world where he is a person of wisdom and integrity, while everyone is less worthy than him and has to follow him.

Comment:

a dabbler when lecturing DO NOT MEAN TO DISRESPECT BUT I mean it is fine for a professor with poor knowledge to teach as long as he knows his insufficiency and moves on to improve. Yet he is full of conceit and regards himself as someone, and refuses rudely to admit his mistakes. This was such miserable class with him..

Comment:

lectures quite dull&fraught with mistakes.couldn?t understand how such a dilettante got hired by Cornell.Super accented and frequently stumbles when lecturing probably due to poor mastery of English as a second language...

Comment:

Prof. Pan's lectures are quite dull but the information itself is fascinating. Lectures are mandatory. Willing to discuss grade changes, if needed. Beware there are only 2 midterms and final exam so you can't NOT study for them. other than that, arts of china was great. Learned a lot!

Comment:

I personally found his class very interesting and easy to concentrate on. His English is accented but quite comprehensible and he knows a great deal about his topic. Of course, I sat in the front row, which probably helps my hearing comprehension; he doesn't speak loudly.

Comment:

I could not stay awake for his lectures. Very smart man, but a terrible teacher. The only think that kept me awake was trying to count how many times he said "um, um, um, um" in a class

Comment:

The man is obviously very knowledgeable but his knowledge is imparted in monotone without an iota of humor. I had ok experiences with him, but had classmates he was downright atrocious to. You will learn a lot though & museum visits are fun.
