Reviews of professor Cheng Chen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Having her for multiple semesters, I can say that she's probably one of the best teachers on campus. If there's something you don't understand or anything of the sort, she's always happy to help. Chinese is a hard language to learn, but if you put in consistent work throughout the semester, you should do fine.

She is amazing. If you have any questions, related to the material or something you've learned outside of class, she will take the time to answer it. Chinese is a difficult language so you do need to spend time outside of class studying. The class grade is from vocabulary quizzes (20), tests (10), homeworks (20), and oral presentations (2).

Extremely incongruent grading methods. One week you might spend hours on a reflection and she gives you a C. The next week youre burnt out and so you only spend 20 minutes on your reflection and she gives you full credit. Seems like she encourages people not to try.

Professor Cheng is a great person but is not a good professor. She does not realize that us students have other classes too. Every two weeks she will assign two ridiculous homework assignments, two quizzes, and a test. I took 7 tests in her semester class.

she is very helpful and wants to help you as much as possible. she is very uplifting and encourages you a lot. lectures are interesting (only 50 minutes) and you get to work closely with peers. homework is moderate and vocab quizzes are easy. i will say that tests can sometimes be hard, so make sure you study well.
