Reviews of professor Chun Shao

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He's a grad student so he really understands what it's like to be a student and therefore goes quite easy on his students. He's a pretty easy marker. I had him for a language class and it was alot of fun going to lectures because he's funny and it's a very laidback, comfortable atmosphere. I recommend him 100%

Bumpy start at the beginning of the semester because she was really new to the university. Over time, we got use to her style but she is heavy in her lectures. She cares for her students as long as you put effort in and give her the same respect. She gives feedback and truly wants you to succeed by making you work a bit extra! Overall great!!

I had her over the spring semester and she did zoom lectures for Chinese Civ! I am taking Ancient Civ and Japanese Civ this semester. I can see now that she organized the lecture material well in comparison. Very kind teacher and ended up curving marks since quizzes only had 5-10 questions. Her tech skills weren't the best but had a lot of heart.

There is a lot of mindless work consistently each week but its worth it, at the end of the semester you'll be surprised at how much Chinese you actually know now lol

Don't take this class with her if this isn't your major. She adds extra work compared to other profs and you're going to have to put a lot of hours into this class. When I told my friends who had already taken 205 with other profs about all the stuff she was making us do they were shocked. The only good thing is she's an easy marker.

Shao was put into the class as an instructor about 3 weeks in and shes the best chinese teacher ive had at uofc!!
She explains grammar very well. Her tests arent too hard if you come to class and review her slides.

If you enjoy listening to the English language, do not enrol in her classes

She might seem a bit scary and intimidating but she's very willing to help as long as you're putting in the effort. Her lectures are packed with information but you learn a lot so if you want to do well attendance is pretty necessary. She's a very generous marker and as long as you're putting in the time and effort you should do well.
