Super Easy.

Andrew Chang is awesome. I had him during summer session, and I really enjoyed his class. He may be a little bossy and egotistical, but i think he is a good teacher. He gives you the answers to the quizzes and tests, so what more can you ask for?

Dr. Chang might be a little egotistical, but he doesn't mean it and it's more humorous than anything. Overall he's a nice guy and more importantly, it's a very easy class. Answers are given to you prior to the quiz and grading is extremely lenient.

Not really hard at all. Only you need to learn the 4 tones which could become difficult if you're not a native speaker. He's very conceited about himself. I think he could be insecure about himself. Just do the homework and practice speaking.

SUPPER COOL!!!! very easy if you do all the work! It's fun in that class!!!

cocky but easy if u plan to study, dont argue with him cuz he knows all, listen, study and get to know him and easy A

easy...just go to class everyday do ur hw n dont be late...u'll earn an A very easy...but he does give lots works

Relatively easy class. He will make sure you understand the material that is being taught. He shares a lot about life's lessons and journeys which I thought were really fascinating. Overall, great teacher. Really cares about his students.

He make the exam pretty easy. But do study. He sure give lots of homework but anyone can handle it because its pretty easy. He does talk about himself a lot but only because he is a happy guy. U don't have to speak chinese. TAKE HIM!!!

Very easy class. Gives you what's on the tests/exams. Very informative about the formations of chinese characters and cultures. Helpful when asked questions but have to keep it short since he seems to be really busy all the time.

He is hard; however, you will actully learn somehting. But you will stuggle alot. I recomend him than other Chinese teacher!

Great teacher..He always tell what the material in the quizz and you'll study from it and you'll get A..He tell a lot about life and his journey.. Nice Teacher ;)

If you wanna learn Chinese, take his class. You'll learn a lot from him because he gives homeworks and projects that makes you understand the material well. All the chinese skills that you learn can be applied into the real life. You don't have to know Chinese...just be hardworking and you can do it

Nice teacher. Easy if you try. Just don't be an ass and your class will run smoothly. Take him! you don't have to write chinese.. everything on computer. easy!

He is good and helpful. His class was so easy. I didn't study for it much. He would show us what's going to be in the test. That's it, just follow that and u'll get A for sure. It's like he wants all of us to get A.

he's a very easy A teacher if you go to class, he might be picky but all he want is teach you to say it in the proper tone (dont take it offensive), i see it very helpful for our non-native speakers, if you tried you'll get at least a B. exam = too easy if you pay attention in class and study 2 hours a day (thats for our summer school section)

helpful & easy on non-native speaker.learn alot from him.he is not arrogant like everyone said. rather,he let u know he got 2 Dr: Degree -> kind of inspiration to us.he makes the class v interesting & fun. hard and pick on student who comes late & doesn't have motivation to learn chinese.aslongas u do ur hw & pay attention in class,i'm sure u wil

great teacher

very picky it is impossible to get a 100% on anything

Shoot, everyone thinks he is arrogant, man if i had a PHD i would be arrogant too. As for his classes, if you study and be respectful, he will give you at least B. I am not a native speaker, and i ace all his classes so far. im taking his chin 4 class now and most likely imma ace it again. take clas if u are serious student, he notices these things

annoying is that he brags about how great he is.. like when he comes late to class and he said he never ever came to class late in his love.. all that .. but good teacher

Prof. Chang is a really good teacher, i consider him very helpful. Not too much homework, there is an oral quiz like almost every week. He knows the story behind the characters. If you dont understand something, just ask, he is happy to help. Come to class every time and you wont be able to fail.

awesome professor. easy assignments, always helpful, and gives great advice. do not cut his class and you'll get at least a B.

good teacher, knows his material, only ask questions in class cuz if you see him outside the classroom, he tends to be less helpful (includes office hours). He likes to talk about life lessons, which end up taking up half the classtime, its ok first time around, but he repeats them A LOT so it gets boring.

Mr. Chang is a great teacher. He is very helpful and actually makes you learn. He really motivated me to tr hard on all the assignments and tests. I did really well, and I am not even a native speaker. I highly recommend him for Chinese 1.

you have to go to class every day do all homework, study for the quizzes and tests. just do everything he assigns and you will most likely get an A. i got a b and c. i took his class for chinese 1 and 2. hes a good professor cuz he explains chinese very thoroughly.

Great teacher with lots of knowledge on Chinese. He is also hilarious at times. He assigns a reasonable amount of homework but it not hard at all.

Mrs, Chang is a nice professor, she often takes oral and write quizzes,and to do hw every week,she will ask you question about Chinese if you don't understand, that's very embarrassed!

he may is looking nice, but he speaks most in class and you still don't get it what he say, if he ask you question if you donn't know how to say, you could image, that's embarrassed.

The first day in the class, I was very impressive when I read his students’ portfolios. The portfolios showed very high quality and beautiful, were written one side in Chinese and the other side in English. If you really want to learn Chinese, he is the best Chinese teacher I have ever seen.

interesting

Great teacher. He may seem pretty strict at times, but i think that it'll only help the students become more stronger. if you study well then this class should be a piece of cake. very fun classes and classmates!

He shares his good and bad experiences as well as tips as to achieve the many degrees he has. He gets impatient at times but mainly at people who are lazy. He expects a lot out of students so it not an easy A but not impossible. He is VERY strict but life has rules too. To succeed in his class, dont be lazy, dont be a boor, and enjoy.

He is a strict teacher. He grades hard. Take him if you really want to learn Chinese. Attendance is very important. He likes to talk about his life a lot, which is interesting. I kept the class fun. I always made the class laugh, and even taught him new vocabulary. Funny guy. Good teacher. Just do all your homework and definitely study. I got an A.

Good: He destroys the lazy people and rewards the diligent one. Entertaining and very clear on his lecture. He teaches very well and his life lessons are so interesting! Bad: He is quite full of himself. He creates a wall between the students and him. Another thing to note: VERY FUSSY!! He will deduct points if you forgot a comma or underlining.

I had Prof. Chang for both Chinese 1 & 2. He was a nice teacher & didn't get offended when I told him that I speak with a Taiwanese accent instead of a Beijing accent, which he teaches - and he didn't dock me points for this either. If you show that you are genuinely interested in learning, he is very helpful.

Prof Chang shares useful information, such as the techniques for applying scholarships. He loves himself very much, but also his students. His class is not easy but as long as you did everything he assigned, you could get a "B." DON'T absent nor be late, he deduces points. Even he seems very strict, I recommend him if you truly want to learn Chi.

He's honestly not as bad as how he first seemed to be in the beginning of the semster. He's really lenient on grading oral quizzes and as long as you do your homework, you should be fine. However, you cannot be absent- he deducts points for absences/being late.

pretty straightforward professor.. i understand everything and he told us what's going to be on the tests or quizzes.. take advantage of your homework because he does grade it for accuracy ( but its not difficult) if you pay attention to his class you will get at least a B for sure.

A lot of people seem to dislike this professor, but Dr. Chang is one of the best teachers and people I've ever met. Teaching is his whole world, so he takes it very seriously, and he's more careful about grading where other teachers aren't. Will help you more than anyone if you're serious about his class. One of the best at Mt Sac!

Pro Chang is my best teacher ever. He is kind of strick teacher because he grades so hard. Attendance is also really important in his class. However, he is willing to help his students and really cares them. Highly recommend this great professor !!!

if you really want to learn chinese take this professor. he is the best teacher... I really enjoy his method of teaching and he always want u to be worry about your improve.i get a A in this class and now i can say that I can speak 4 language(eng, spa,jap and chin)now. u have to do your homework and study with ur heart study hard

I am partly a native speaker so I took Chinese for easy A's. But man did i have to work hard for those A's. I literally had to do every thing that was assigned. On a side note, I literally rolled my eyes back every class when he began talking about himself and his boasting. He lectures us like he is our parents. He only talks about himself.

He does talk about himself a lot. I learned more about him than Chinese in the first day. But after that, I was immersed in Chinese and the occasional life changing story. The background information he gives helps memorize the characters. Excellent teacher, hilarious and highly recommend. Took him for winter intercession.

This course should be renamed to Professor Chih-Ping Chang 101.

I took Chinese 1 and it was pretty easy for me, I don't know why so many students dropped the class. Just do the homeworks (super easy i.e. characters sheet), and just study what he tells you to study (he's always specific about the material of the tests). A good attendance record will also help your grade. Overall it wasn't bad at all :)

He is a great professor who really wants you to come to office hours to really learn the material. Grades by a high standard in both English and Chinese. He really loves truly happy and friendly students who are self-motivated to learn Chinese.

very nice instructor.

His instruction is clear, informative and fun. I really enjoy his class and take all his classes.

What a great professor! His life lessons truly motivated me to be better.

I will continue to take his classes. I had a lot fun in his class. He is fair and nice.

He really makes the class interesting. I think he is the best professor I ever have so far.

He is very clear in teaching. I really enjoyed his class and will for sure take his Chinese 2.

He is very knowledge and interesting in teaching the Chinese culture, which is the focus of Chinese 2.

Honestly he is the best professor I have ever had in all my years of schooling. He really makes it a point to connect with his students even if you are aren't a native speaker(me). He's so much more then just a great language professor, he is also a great life coach. You will always leave his class happier/smarter than when you first walked in.

You will learn a lot from him.

He is the greatest professor I have even had so far. He is very clear in teaching and efficient in delivering the learning materials. You should really try him and see for yourself.

He really enjoys helping students, especially those who are struggling.

It is pretty easy to get a good grade in this class. The professor is very nice and he gives good grades to encourage his students wanting to learn more.

He is very good at teaching and helping students. I learned a lot about Chinese culture from him. I will take his class in the spring again.

I took his Chinese 2 in fall of 2018 and really learned a lot about the Chinese culture. I will take his Chinese 3 again this spring. I really cannot wait to attend his class again. It is fun and inspirational.

He likes to encourage students to be better than before. After finishing his Chinese 1, I do feel more confident about school and will do a lot better for my study because Professor taught me how to. Thank you Dr. Chang.

Now he gave less homework and gives better grades. I got an easy A from his class.

I really love his class. I learned a lot about life and Chinese culture. I will take his Chinese 2 again. Some comments said something negative about him, but I disagree. You should try one class of his and know these comments are not really true.

Dr. Chang's class is really fun and he gives extra credit to help students to get better grades. Learning Chinese becomes fun and easy with his teaching.

I had a lot of fun in taking the Chinese class. I also learned much about the Chinese language and culture.

He is a great professor. He is very knowable about the Chinese language and culture. He is fun. Time really flies by quickly when I attend his classes. I will take with him again.

As long as you follow the syllabus, you get a good grade.

Took his class like a year and a half ago. He's a good professor, but sometimes says unnecessary things that offend people. Very knowledgeable and has a huge background in Chinese. Make sure to do all his homework and CHECK YOUR WORK, He marks off every little single detail if the writing is off or not written nicely.

He is a great professor, very efficient and professional. You always learn a lot about Chinese culture in his class. He is so good at presentation and I will take his Chinese 2 to continue his wonderful teaching.

I really loves his class, especially when he tells stories about characters. They are really fun to learn.

He is very good at teaching. I always learned a lot from his class. Definitely I will take his class again. You will learn a lot about Chinese culture and Chinese characters.

I learned a lot about life through his wonderful presentation about Chinese culture and wisdom. I become more efficient and use my time a lot more wisely under Dr. Chang's influence. I think he is the greatest teacher I have so far had.

He is fun, smart and wise. You will learn a lot from him and have a lot of fun in his class. Time really flies in his class. Before you know it, the class is over. I will definitely take his class again.

His class is interesting and I learned a lot about Chinese and the Chinese wisdom from his class. He is always willing to help and clarify any questions I have. I do not have such a good professor like him for quite a while.

He is a great professor. I learned a lot about the Chinese culture from him. I really look forward to taking his class again.

His class is always fun and you can learn a lot from him. I have never got an A before, and in his Chinese 1 I got my first A. I will definitely take his class again and encourage my friends to get a good grade from this wonderful professor like me.

He is very clear and organized. He really follows his schedule well and I learned a lot from him about how to get a good grade without studying hard. He is always willing to show us how to enjoy studying. I will take his class again and continue to enjoy learning the Chinese culture from this wonderful professor.

Just absolutely horrible. For those reading, instead of giving mostly opinion based, Ill give actual facts from his class. By his own words, even if you get 100 percent on everything with no absences, you can only get 95 percent. He offers an additional five percent extra credit, to get to 100 percent, so really its not extra credit.

He needs to be modest, he doesn't have to tell his students EVERY WEEK about how much money he earns and how early he got his doctor's degree to make his students respect him. He is indeed knowledgeable; however, as a person, he still has a lot to learn.

really fun class, not much homework. as long as you come to class you're pretty much good.

Dr. Chang is a really great Professor. He is always there when you need something explained. He puts life lessons in some of his lectures. If you follow his criteria you'll get an easy A. Funny jokes mixed in with his lectures. He cares about his students. 5% extra credit for Language lab, but for online its journals. I would take this class again.

Dr. Chang is a wonderful Chinese teacher. It is not difficult to get A even though the attendance is mandatory.

I've read a lot of bad comments about professor Chang. But I'll say: YOU need to be productive! Keep track of what he's doing and expecting. Does he love to speak about him? Yes. Is he respectful of everyone? No. Your last project is significant. When he gives hw, you need to do it, and in-class, he will go over it and provide you with time to fix.

Professor Chang ended up becoming one of my most favorite professors I've taken a class from at Mt. Sac, he started off pretty intimidating, he's a little hard on his students but that's because he wants you to pass. He actually clarifies things pretty well if you ask him questions. He does talk about himself but I felt moreso inspired listening

Yes. He is always talks about himself but also sharing his experience in life instead of "traditional teaching" who doesn't care about their student career. I am really grateful he is my professor and he inspired me. He does not give much homework but just to make sure follow his instruction. That's all you need!

prof. chang is probably the most coolest prof. i have ever met. his class is pretty easy , he provides extra credit also for attending his class. he likes to tell stories about himself and make jokes with the class. i recommend taking him!!

He makes class very fun. He's a really funny guy as well. He cares about teaching us and enjoys his job. A little tough grader but it's to help you not make mistakes in your writing. Can't wait to take his next class to be honest. Great class. Great teacher!

Took him in summer'21, asynchronous. As a native speaker, I did great in here but don't expect to get an easy A just bc u can speak/write/read the language. He DEF grades hard, but if u can adjust quick to his high expectations, u will be fine. Otherwise, I think u will struggle if u arent a native speaker.

Professor Chang is strict but fair. His instructions are clear if you pay attention. He can be strict at grading, but only in hopes of us not making the same mistakes again. His class is a mix of lecturers and chitchatting, which makes it fairly relaxing and entertaining. If your a non-native speaker struggling in class, please be sure to speak up.

Professor manages to make the subject very interesting, even on Monday mornings.

Very memorable lectures.
