Professor Hu is one of the top 5 best teachers I have ever had throughout my entire education. He is one of those rare people in life that is working in the right field, you can tell he is very passionate about what he does, therefore making he excells at his job. He balances making class fun with helping us learn a difficult language effectively.

Mr. Hu is INCREDIBLE. He is very kind and knowledgeable about the readings and how it relates to the modern world. I took him for CMLT 2800 and was blown away by how enthusiastic and intelligent he was. Though its cheesy to say, I do truly feel as though I learnt a lot from his readings and commentary and would definitely take him again!

Hu is my favorite teacher from this semester. He made learning Chinese easy and going to class was so much fun everyday. He cares about his students and the learning environment was great. The workbook homework may take a long to complete, though. A good amount of homework, but it is all necessary. The tests weren't too bad.

All asynchronous, recorded lectures. A caring teacher who really enjoys the subject matter. He assigns 7 short stories to read & for each story a choice of 15+ papers to read. You pick one & write a short discussion post & comment on other peoples. That's the whole class + 1 final paper. Easy & interesting. Cool focus on other cultures.

Professor Hu was my favorite this semester. He is very enthusiastic about teaching and tries making class activities fun and interesting. There is a lot of homework, but this is normal for a foreign language class. The tests are relatively easy if you listen in class and practice the characters. Very sweet guy and great professor.
