Reviews of professor Xianxian Fang

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Fang Lao Shi is a gem! She is so sweet and caring and really tries to make sure you really understand the material. The class is designed to help you learn, and I was truly sad when she went on maternity leave. Syllabus and can-do sheets are very clear about grading criteria. She is a lenient grader and also gives extra credit!

The course is introductory Chinese, so it easy. Professor Fang made it as easy as possible for her students to pick up the Chinese tones. Friendly class where participation held a key role. Tests are easy. Online homework gets harder with each lesson, but effectively prepares you for the tests. The textbook is free online, but you must buy workbook

The class is a bit of work but none of it is hard. Appropriate for a 2 credit hour. Grading is very nice but you still learn a lot. She is very approachable. If you become good acquaintances with your classmates it can be fun

Fang Laoshi is great--super friendly, flexible, kind. She offers a ton of extra credit opportunities and genuinely wants to see you succeed. She makes the quizzes and tests super easy; also reviews grammar and vocab in class every day so it's hard to fail. Highly recommend.
