Reviews of professor Lin Sun

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I like her class a lot. I've learned a lot, both the language and the culture. She's clear about everything, and very organized. She does have frequent vocab quizzes, but that helps me remember those words.

Chinese is definitely not an easy language to learn, but she's actually easy to follow. She even gave you chances to retake the quiz. But you really can't miss the class, because it's hard to study on your own. The post below must be from someone who's frequently missing classes.

This class was definitely an easy A. If you are absent, she gives you make up work for full credit, but I still wouldnt recommend not showing up. You learn about 20+ new words and phrases daily so it is easy to fall behind. As long as youre attentive and take notes youll be fine.

Overall a very nice professor, cares about your grade in the class. Homework is a big part of your grade and tests are from previous assignments.

One of the nicest teachers you'll ever have. Some assignments each week but don't usually take too long. She very much cares about her students and wants them to do well in the class. As long as you put some effort into the class it is very manageable and enjoyable.

This is a fairly easy class especially if you've taken Chinese before. Focuses more on reading and speaking Chinese. We often read passages in front of the whole class to work on our pronunciation. She gives us useful insight on what it would be like if we were to visit China. Cares a lot about her students, if you participate then you'll get an A.

If you've taken chinese before the class it will be the easiest class ever. There are assignments after every class but they don't take up too much time. Review is done before every quiz or exam. Class really comes down to if you enjoy the language or not

Professor Sun is a very good teacher. I already had a little bit of Mandarin knowledge and she taught me so much more than I've ever learned. She gives homework after every class but it is super manageable. Also, there is a quiz every class about what we learned in the past class but she goes over it beforehand.

Being the only Chinese teacher in the department she is kind of your only option,but in my opinion she is not worth it. Change languages unless you have had Chinese experience before coming to Xavier. You will have success in the class if you have had 1-2 years of experience with the language before her class but will be lost if you go in blind.
