Winter 2016 - Professor Chi is charming and nice but can sometimes be a little intimidating. He doesn't allow people to take pictures of the slides so be prepared to take good notes. He speaks three languages excellently: English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. So if you speak any these you should be able to communicate to him easily. Although I've never been to his office hours, I can tell that he welcomes and encourages you to go. A lot of long readings to read, can be a little boring, but also interesting if you're really devoted to the subject. There's one movie to watch each week and all of them are excellent and really well-chosen,
