She talks very softly, and very fast. However she is wonderfully helpful (outside of class only) She takes Powerpoint directly from the book, and has you fill in the blanks. Her Tests are VERY ticky...beware of mind games. All in all a decent teacher.

she is very nice and the course doesnt require a lot of work, if u study for the tests, u will be fine. she takes attendence every now and then so it isnt mandatory.she doesnt give hard assigments, and they are usually group work.
It's hard to hear her and pay attention cuz she talks really fast. Tests are somewhat difficult, but she always has time for you after class!
Worst teacher ever. She mumbles, doesn't know her information, reads right off the slides and is extremely boring. I feel bad for people taking her this fall
Helpful outside of class. Reviews for all of the tests. Don't need the book. Boring topics, boring class.
Gives you the answers for the tests, tells you what you need to study. Very informative teacher. Understanding is a little difficult, but she has powerpoints of what she says
She is a very pleasant person and always makes time for her students outside of the classroom. She is sometimes hard to understand and sometimes flies through slides a bit fast, but I would take her again. Very nice!!!
Dr. Chen is the nicest, most energetic, and fascinating teacher I have ever taken. If you can pay attention in her class and take her notes - the tests are cake after studying the notes. I wish the students were nicer to her in class & not so rude!
Ms. Chen is an awesome person. Rather hard to understand at times but a sweet heart and will help you out no matter what as long as you go to her and ask. She is the most hyperactive teacher I've ever seen! I love her!
She has a really think accent but she was sooo helpfull when you went to her office and talked to you. she wants to see you do well in her class, and now that she lets people proofread her tests, the class is really easy
She is an amazingly sweet teacher. She will help you out to no end if you actually go up to her and talk to her. I heard her extra credit is very detailed and long, but truthfully, you will not need it as long as you actually pay attention and look over
very enthusiastic! She really cares about her students. As long as you make an effort you will get an A. Shes great!
Her class was not very hard,Project is interesting and you also lear a lot from the project if you really do it.She is a really nice professor,if you need help,she's always there.
Chen is freakin great. People say they cant understand her, but she makes sure she yells when she talks. Straight foward, tells us what we need to know, tests are straight from the slides. Get used to hearing, "Are we cool?" Great teacher.
UCF seems to have a knack for choosing their professors and teachers from the third string. There is no way to understand this woman and she does not grasp the english language. But why else would we be paying so much for classes? To understnad them&
Dr. Chen comes from another country, learns our language AND gets a PhD in our country. Now how many of you closed minded egotistical losers can do that? Go DR CHEN!! I love your classes! You rock!
she is a great teacher. you can understand her just fine. she cares so much about her students. she tell you exactly what to study for the tests. one of my favorite professors at ucf!
she is such a wonderful person! She has helped me out and has written so many letters of recommendation for me already- and awesome ones at that...she has been so nice to everyone and is sooo awesome...she will work wiht you if you work wiht her and he class is easy! she almost gives you the test!
she cares about the subject but her english is horrible, so if you have a hard time understanding someone who doesn't speak much english then don't take her
She is SO nice, by the 2nd week she knows everyone by name. You don't have to go to class but if you do and you participate she'll help you w/ answers on the test at the end. Easy class projects, easy assignments, all Ppt. tests are simple but make sure you take good notes or have a friend that does
Dr. Chen is amazingly nice. She will do anything to help you. She may not speak english well, but she makes an effort and comes to class cheerful. The Tourism Geography class seems like a lot of work, but all you do is 2 presentations and the easiest paper ever. No TESTS, just listen to presenters!
Don't drop this class after you got the syllabus.This class is not very easy,but Dr.Chen is extremely nice,she will give you all the help you need.All you need to do is 2 presentations and 1 paper.Stay in this class,you will LEARN A LOT from the presentations!It enhences your knowledge of the world.
chen is funny sometimes, she is super easy. very gulible, easily manipulated. "dr. chen we arent ready for the test.. can we take it tomorrow?" "Um.. OK"
I think she was just annoying to take....the material ius boring as heck and her web enhanced class was ridiculous because she was so disorganized psoting assignments and what she expected that some people suffered from her miscommunication
I was so interested in taking this class and my interest quickly went away. She was very confusing and didn't really seem to be very organized. She was a nice woman but her method of teaching is not that great. I would only take her if you have no other options.
this lady sucks - you cannot understand a word she says and shes so unclear and boring as ever. do not take her!
Every class she reads the powerpoints making class insanely boring, lots of opportunities for a whole 1 point extra credit, but no real penalties for those who never come to class. Unfortunately, overall she is just an average or below average professor...Rosen College can do better.
Class was very easy and fun!
Warning!Be advised..She is very unorganized. Overall class is easy, but she is unclear on what she wants from you. I had to change a presentation 3 times, still not sure if it was what she wanted! Avoid this class, unless you want to stab yourself in the eye!
she is very helpful, and will answer any questions you have. pretty easy teacher, and very nice

The class was very EASY! this class is a newer class so there are things to work out - but she is sooo nice and will help you out whenever you want. She writes amazing recommendation letters and is so sweet and cares for students - go up and talk to her - she will rememnber you and she will hook you up with school stuff!
Dr. Chen is a psycho, however, she did give me an A so I can't complain too much. Be prepared to sit through countless presentations by your classmates and work on pointless projects. Your grade is based mostly upon peer reviews of your projects. Give A's to people who bring food!
Seriously horrible! I am good at understanding foreign teachers but this was ridiculous!! Easy class but horrible to sit through!
EASY class, just study the notes and you will get an A! dont really need a text book which save lots money. Great class will take her again! Love her!
TERRIBLE TEACHER. Not only can you NOT understand what she is saying, but she complains about your gramatical errors even though her slides and evaluations contain them. She does very little teaching, the whole class is based on classmate presentations on geographic places. She is also a really tough grader and very rudely interupts you.
One of the best teachers at UCF. Get used to her "Are we cool? She gave hand out but you need to go the her classes fo get the key info. Her assignments are very useful to your career. If you realy do it... will take her class again..
Here's the deal: you don't need the book, the class is super easy, she is just really annoying. She gives assignments that have little to nothing to do with your career (work values? wtf?) and also have little weight on your grade but take a massive amount of time.
Worst class i've ever taken in my college career! Her powerpoints need subtitles so you can understand her! Never received anything lower than a 'B' before, yet somehow she gave me a 'D'. She also has never responded to any of my e-mails
Loved Po Chen! Very nice lady if you respect her. She will bend over backwards to help as long as you're nice to her. You don't need to buy the book, but you have to show up to class. As long as you have all the notes, you'll get an A.
If you like teachers who yell at the class, threatens to fail the whole class, are vague with instructions for group projects, and give surprise final exams, then Po-Ju Chen is perfect for you. She gets frustrated too easily and takes her emotions out on the class. Very Unprofessional. Are we Cool?
She speaks Chinese-English so it gets confusing sometimes. All of the notes are on powerpoints with words left out so you have to go to class to get them. Random attendance taken. Tests are decent. No Book. She will keep you to the end or LATER. Projects weren't too bad, but not that great.
loved her! she can be alittle hard to understand but you can work with it. if you treat her with respect she will do the same in return. a lot of students are rude to her! not a hard class, if you go. dont need the book! im taking her again.
I would rather have slit my wrists then attend her class. MISERABLE!! Do NOT take her if you dont have to...

Every time I went to this class, which was never, I wanted to gouge my eye balls out with my pen. This professor is a discrace to Rosen!!!Unless you are contemplating suicide I highly advise you NEVER to take her! Are we cool???
She's kinda creepy!! And if you really want to get something out of this class, have a background or current job at a hotel, she'll give you extra credit for that.... she likes to stomp and awkwardly smile or scold you for things.... it's an interesting class, definitely not my favorite... :(
You will not be able to understand her, loves to force the "golden rule" on the students.
HORRIFIC teacher. She takes attendance randomly but mostly not. You cannot understand a word she says and she has the hardest time explaining anything! DO NOT TAKE HER if you can avoid it somehow!
This teacher has clear favorites and dislikes. She will specifically pick on those that she doesn't like. It was extremely hard to understand her and she NEVER makes sense of anything she is trying to teach.
I have to defend Dr. Chen! The people who can't understand her are the ones who don't listen!! She is a wonderful and sweet lady, and gives plenty of generous extra credit for the slackers. She is also incredibly funny, again to those who try and listen. Rosen is full of immature 18 year olds I'm not suprised that these comments are so intolerant.
Dr. Chen is one of the best teachers at rosen. Although she is hard to understand she really cares about students' learning and wants them to succeed. Extra Credit assignments and surveys are her thing, but she is a wonderful teacher. People who don't understand her its because they don't want to learn.
"ARE WE COOL?" - she will ask that at least 3 times a class I promise. It's about the only thing I could understand that she said. Just print out the powerpoints and fill them out in class, and study them before tests, and do all the assignments and you'll do okay.
I don't know what you immature kids are talking about, she is one of the best professor I ever had, you can see from her power points that she puts her heart into teaching the class! She really deserves our respect for that, how many professors will do that!! Just listen and stop blaming her accent for your incapability to take a class seriously!
Best teacher ever! Very organized and helpful. She gave you notes without keys. I like her way of teaching making me interested in HR and psychology. She is the research queen... Best teacher at Rosen. Classmates are rude to her. It is very annoying. She handled them well.
Chen is a cool teacher. She empowers us to manage our own grade. Prepare to read the book. Her online discussions are great! Too demanding on the guest lecturer project. Hate group project but this class is great. She made us to interact with industry leaders. Best class of my last semester at Rosen.
Dr. Chen is cool! She is very nice and caring. It's fun! I changed my major to hospitality after 3rd week of her class.
Well organized online class. She is very undestanding and responsive. Guest speakers were pretty good. Online discussion was a great way of reflecting what I learned in these years at Rosen. My best class at Rosen.
My second class with her. She is an amazing teacher. If you go to class, and pay attention the tests are cake. She makes HR interesting. I can relate to what I am doing at work. She wants to know you. Very nice.
She is awesome! She knows her stuff. She is also up to date industry information. Her tests are easy if you study. She taught you how to do research. I used it at work. My boss likes it. I would take her again for another class.
Even if you can make it past her VERY HEAVY accent her teaching style is still awful! You don't need the textbook at all, so don't bother! Her tests are LONG winded and often hard to interpret! EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS!!!
Dr. Chen is okay. The class itself is pretty easy but the assignments can be pretty annoying. Gives a lot of extra credit so take advantage. Not many other profs teach HR, so you almost have to take her.
PROS: extra credit opportunities, don't need the book, fairly easy class CONS: speeds through lectures, random attendance, hard to understand, test questions are tricky, passes her own research off on us
She is a very kind and nice lady. She cares about our learning. I like her way of teaching us to be professional. Her exams are not easy. You NEED TO STUDY.
She is super enthusiastic and really enjoys what she teaches. She does have a strong accent but if you can work with it, do it! You do not need the textbook at all, just the powerpoints which you print out for lectures anyways. Her tests are tricky with wording so make sure you really study (she tells you exactly what slides to study from).
You will not need to buy the book for HR. Her classes consist of reading from her slides. Prepare for a very boring semester! Due to her accent, it is very hard to follow. Just read the slides at home and you will be fine. She gives a good review for her 4 exams. Final is NOT cumulative. Extra credit & assignments are very easy!
Dr. Chen is very concerned about her students' achievement. She gives tons of extra credit for random stuff. Tests are straight from her notes as well. She's rather boring during lecture so bring entertainment. Assignments are really easy but the first one is pointless with a lot of copy and paste from websites. Easy A
Dr Chen was amazing. Very easy class. She gives you all the notes and the book is not needed. She has 4 tests and 4 assignments which are fairly easy. Another beauty of it is the final is not cumulative.
The best class I have ever taken. Intense but very interesting. The best class for my last semester in College. Take all her classes if possible. She prepared you for your future.
She is an amazing teacher with so many resources to help students.
Gives out TONS of ex. credit. Test r str8 from her slides. Kind of hard to understand. Not clear on directions, assignments aren't hard just a lot of work. Does take attendance. Overall ez class, just time consuming.
She LOVES her students and makes it as easy as possible to pass - loads of extra credit. Her English is difficult to understand at first. One big project - do it at the beginning of class to get it over with. Not much book use. I recommend.
Super easy. Takes attendance 8 times a semester. But TONS of extra credit to make up for it. I missed 4 attendance grades, but made it all back in extra credit. Tests are fairly hard, but my grade went from a C- to a B+ because of extra credit. Def recommend!
Awful just awful. Assignments make zero sense and she can't explain anything to save her life. Honestly didn't learn a thing the whole class.Made my last semester of college absolute hell.
She obviously loves teaching but her english is very hard to understand most of the time. I took this class mixed mode but I wish I would've just taken it online. She's kind of crazy but really into the class. I wouldn't take her again if I was given the chance.
assignments made no sense and were not clear at all. lost most of the class.be prepared to teach yourself because you will learn nothing if you just show up to class and listen to her lecture. nice lady as a person, not the teaching style that I like or that I'm used to. Her tests were hard !!! her english was alomost impossible to understand.
I could not understand this professor. It would be a good idea to offer English pronunciation courses for her.Her syllabus was hard to follow and had errors on due dates for assignments. If you can find a different prof, do so.
So confusing. Gives out 3 different due dates for the same assignment. Dumps projects on you halfway through the semester that weren't even on the syllabus. Will never take her classes again.
Dr. Chen does not speak or write English well and her syllabus and assignments are a mess of mistakes. Still, HW and tests were easy, and all test questions are pretty much covered in PowerPoint notes. Book is needed for HW. Ask questions and you'll be fine. EC is avail, but you likely won't need it. Got an A. I would only take her online.
She is Chinese which means her English isn't that good. I could barely understand her but i took the mixed mode class so i only saw her once a week. Everything is online, quizzes, tests, bi-weekly discussions and one group project/presentation. A lot of work but easy.
Class had its pros and cons. Pros: Dr. Chen was very nice, gave tons of extra credit, was an easy grader, and group work/discussions were actually nice. Cons: Sometimes hard to understand, assignments confusing at times, and class was all but POINTLESS. If you can take her entirely online, do it.
She is super sweet, but all over the place. Yes, she doesn't have great English but if you ask her in private she will help you. She does need a TA to help her. Great ready for group projects and make them count.
Sweetest person ever ! Take her!
Sweatiest lady ever but her accent is very heavy. Group projects are a must and lot's of homework to complete.
Do not take this professor for an online course. She does not speak English very well, so it translates terribly for a solely-online class. There is no clear direction for her numerous assignments, and I feel everyone scrambling to understand what we're supposed to be doing. With so many assignments, it's difficult and flustering.
She is extremely unorganized. She might be able to teach a face to face class better. DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE. Everyone was confused, I don't think she knows how to work with webcourses so she would think we could see things that we really couldn't. No places to turn in assignments and did not respond to emails efficiently.
Please avoid taking this professor at all costs. Out of 4 yrs at UCF this was the most unprofessional course I have taken, especially online. Since Day 1 her instructions have contradicted itself due to copying and pasting from previous classes. Links didn't work until told by numerous students to fix it. Some discussions still do not have grades
Agreed with everyone else. 2 years at Rosen and this is the worst professor of them all. Teaching leadership? What a joke!!! She can't mange webcourses, can't setup assignments correctly or even do a spell check one in a while. Avoid!
the professor is nice. she is clear and helpful. i started the class late. the professor is more than helpful. if you did well in the Discussion and the final group project you would get the A. i am not could at writing so it is why i got a B
She has a thick accent, but I didn't have a problem with it. Very animated in class. Make sure you have a good group, because all of your homework is with them. Get things done early to be able to ask questions. Quizzes and test were easy. If you are having problems GO SEE HER! Always in her office to help. She is super sweet.
Great professor. She is very organized and makes everything we do in class clear. She explains well and I have learned a lot from her. Fun class and you should attend every lecture, it's a blast. There are quizzes almost every class but they are very easy and it's a easy class. She is very nice and gives a lot of extra credit.
