Reviews of professor Grace Yang

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very caring, patient, and wanting students to learn and engage in class.  Uses many methods to encourage learning and participation, eg, stories of how previous students succeeded, and asking current students for study method ideas.  Explains assignments multiple times to ensure students understand what is expected, deadlines, how to submit, etc.

Excellent professor to introduce Chinese. Very caring, sincere, dedicated, passionate, and encouraging. Makes Chinese approachable. Many schools do not offer many classes, so prof. makes sure to offer lots of content to compensate. 

Advice: take advantage of class time, volunteer, etc. Prof. is there to help, you will learn and develop.

Professor Yang is one of the best people youll meet. She is invested in her students success and cares about meeting your needs. Chinese class felt like a little family because of her. Just know, its still MANDARIN. Its no cake walk, but if you study the material like she tells you to, you shouldnt have too many issues. I highly recommend her.

Professor Yang is the best Chinese teacher I've ever had in all of my time in China and studying in the United States. Her class was engaging. Since Chinese is a tonal language, it is difficult to learn. Yang used several different modalities to help us study including YouTube videos in class and the computer lab at school. I learned so much!

Yanglaoshi is an amazing instructor! She tries to push us not to only read and write but to also speak Chinese as well. I feel like we learned something new about the culture every class - it's truly been an eye-opening experience. Make sure you show up to class as it moves pretty quickly, there are few homework assignments so don't fall behind!

Professor Grace Yang is amazing! If you ever wanted to learn Chinese, PLEASE TAKE HER!! She truly cares about her student's success. She understands that learning a new language is difficult, but she makes learning Chinese very fun and not at all boring. I have always wanted to learn Chinese and I feel very lucky that she was my professor. !
