Selected Comments from Teaching Evaluations

• For many years, I have seen a few teachers like him with the art of teaching, very good!
  (original text in Chinese: 许多年来少见的具有讲课艺术的老师，非常好！) 

• He teaches very difficult materials in a very easy-to-understand way! Love him!
  (original text in Chinese: 很难的内容可以用极易理解的方式！爱他！)

• This Korean professor is particularly wonderful. Although there is a little frustration due to the language barrier, he gave lectures in a clear and organized way.
  (original text in Chinese: 欧巴真的特别棒，虽然语言上有点小挫折，但是还是把课讲的特别清楚有条理. ) 

• He focuses on cultivating innovative thoughts. Personally, he is very cute! Very serious about his responsibilities, and the acquired knowledge broadened the horizon, and the evaluation method is novel!
  (original text in Chinese: 注重创新思维的培养 老师人非常可爱！很认真很负责，所授知识开阔 了眼界，考核方式新颖)

• The professor is serious and responsible in teaching, and he teaches very clearly and thoroughly
  (original text in Chinese: 老师上课认 真负责，知识点讲授的很清晰透彻)

• The professor is responsible and works hard to make students understand.  However,  it was too difficult for me because it was taught in English. During the lecture, after a while, I found myself lost. The materials are profound but the explanation was simple and clear. As a student, I admire him very much, but it was not very suitable for me. 
  (original text in Chinese: 老师尽职尽责，努力讲解，不过因为是全英文授课对我来说太过困难，听一会总会神游天外，内容深刻但讲解浅显清晰，不可多得的好老师，身为学生我很敬佩他，不过不是很适合我)
