I had Chinese 1-6 with Professor Fu. She is an EXCELLENT Chinese language teacher. She is very detailed in explaining the grammar points and vocabulary usages which is very helpful for the serious language student. She makes her own detailed/organized notes alongside the textbook (she even prints/staples them for everyone in the class). Her efforts are noticeable. In addition, Fu laoshi is really good about trying to keep up with the latest teaching methods and foreign language acquisition research. As a foreign language learner who has nearly mastered one of the languages with the most difficult grammar (English!), she definitely knows what she is doing. I feel really lucky to have had Fu laoshi as a professor these past years and wish there were more upper division professors like her. One thing is I think the grading system could have been a little harder and the class a bit more rigorous. I did enjoy that it wasn't at the time since it's so busy w/ other classes but it's hard not to push Chinese to the side to do better in the other classes that grade so much harder. All in all, I highly recommend Dr. Fu. Her teaching methods, efforts, and teaching style are all top notch. You might not appreciate her style at the moment since she teaches 1-6 and those are for beginners, after you have had other Chinese classes/teachers you'll realize what you had! :)
