Professor Cai is incredible. Her humor and energy turned a difficult language into something I genuinely loved practicing. Teaching Chinese songs was a brilliant touch that made the culture feel alive. It's safe to make mistakes, you gain real confidence, take her course. It's more than just a language class; it's a career-defining experience.CHNS1201 2026-03-31 14:19:45 +0000 UTC
I took 2102. Fast-paced and lots of online homework in the beginning but slows down towards the end of semester. Two projects. Very lenient with grading and cares more about your effort. Accepting of every question and very kind & funny. Explains thoroughly. Many opportunities to practice and improve. Great class atmosphere. My favorite teacher!CHNS1201 2025-12-22 04:26:02 +0000 UTC
Would definitely recommend Cai Lao Shi. She's genuinely wants you to learn and wants what's best for you. As long as you do the work and try, you will get a good grade. Very enthusiastic about your learning and creates a great class vibe.CHNS1201 2025-11-05 14:49:22 +0000 UTC
An amazing teacher for Chinese Language, especially if you're learning for the first time! She's very understanding and is pretty lenient with grading. The classroom experience isn't intimidating at all, but there is a lot of speaking and daily vocab dictations, so be prepared to be prepared!CHNS1201 2022-03-01 15:15:37 +0000 UTC
