I hate this class. Sun laoshi makes this class harder than most premajor or major classes out there. The amount of work that most students put into this course is ridiculous. Expect to spend at least 5 hours a week of your free time on this class. Every week there is an essay + a workbook packet due, as well as two quizzes. Two fucking quizzes every week, so be prepared to memorize a lot of shit. But the workload for this class isn't even the main problem, what sucks the most is that participation is mandatory. YOU CAN NOT DITCH THIS CLASS. Every time you ditch class she marks it and this affects your participation grade which is either 15 or 20 percent of your overall grade. One absence results in -1 point in participation(thats one percent of your overall grade). So be prepared to wake up everyday at 7AM to go to your gay 8AM chinese class... 4 days a week. Sucks. I am so glad that I'm almost done with this course, do yourself a favor and try to get into regular Chinese. The A series with Sun Laoshi is a nightmare
