Loved the class and the professor, only complaint was the annoying amounts of busy work which I guess could just be written off as more exposure to the language... the homework uploads love to fail

Super nice and friendly professor. There is homework every day, but it is still manageable. All questions will be answered clearly.

Zhang Lao Shi has the best lecture slides! And she really does a great job at breaking down language structure.
