Reviews of professor Zhiwen Hu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
You're learning Chinese, so you're going to have to put a lot of work in. But this class is super easy. Don't miss more than 4 times as you will get a point deduction. Lectures are hilarious and enjoyable. He's a really kind guy and you can tell he really cares about all of us. If you show up and do the work, you'll get an easy A

Great teacher, but lots of homework that is graded by completion. There are lots of points that are given on tests so just study a little bit and you should succeed! You will have to talk a lot in class, but its good practice.

This class involves about three homework assignments a week (character workbook and workbook). However, they are practice for the tests and are a grade booster. The tests are fairly easy as well. Hu Laoshi is great for those looking to quicken the process of learning Chinese and will push you in terms of speaking skills.

THE BEST!! He truly cares so much for his students and wants you to succeed and learn Chinese! He gives a lot of extra credit and creates a comfortable environment for asking questions. I am truly so sad that I will not have him again next year! He is such a rare professor. TAKE HIM!!

He makes learning Chinese actually enjoyable! He makes sure everyone understands a character before moving on to the next. He goes around helping out each student with pronunciation and gives us several seconds to practice. Going to his office hours was very helpful.. Make sure you buy the book because you will write alot. Awesome teacher!!!
