I really don't understand why do we need to have compulsory Chinese course in university even we are engineer student and come from mainland. The content is boring, it is just like what I learned in my senior high school. My teacher's temper is good, but I don't want have comments on her teaching. Guess what, during 1h class, she can spend 40min in talking about her life and some meaningless information. It is just like a program that the main function is in the interrupt function. When you want to learn, she is taking about useless information, when you zone out, she is teaching knowledge. Hey, madam, plz give me the points! For the grade, you can't get A rank since my teacher says the number of A rank(>=A-) is in the single digits for all students who take this course [what can I say? >:( ] Additionally, your works will undergo multiple layers of censorship if you teacher give you A rank. The course requirements are including but not limited to writing a prose, making a ppt to analyzing prose, fixing sentence grammar's mistakes. No attendance but it will affect your final grade slightly. In summary, trash.

Your effort and your grade are not equivalent. You have to do a writing, a presentation (演講詞) and group presentation for a passage (散文). Guidance from lecturer is insufficient to get a good grade for me. I think the grade rubric of different class are different and depends on your other students performance. Overall, the lecturer is nice but the grade is not nice. His teaching is understandable.

The teacher is very nice, and the grade is nice too! Really learnt a lot from this course, like Presentation skills and grammar. I love the prose appreciation part very much, Daniel’s analysis is very insightful. Moreover, he is very patient, always provide detailed suggestions during consultation.
