Mei Kong CHIN203 terpmail 02/12/2013	Kong is a solid teacher- I took two semesters of Chinese with her, and deliberately chose the sections she was teaching. Her best asset is the genuine desire for her students to learn the language. If you take the time to participate, and even visit her office hours (she works hard to make herself available for help), you will get a lot out of her classes. Unfortunately, I did not get to be as involved as I really wanted to be due to my major classes dividing my attention. Regardless, I learned a lot with her teaching. She wants to challenge students, but she is by no means unreasonable or unfair- there's typically consistent homework and weekly quizzes, along with a midterm and final. A very kind and understanding person as well, though she can seem shy or uncertain of herself at times. Patient too- we'd often make the same mistakes or errors, but she'd never hang it over our heads- she'd just correct us and continue onward. To my understanding, her one pet peeve is her students not trying- so if the class has been slacking, she can get frustrated/angry, but that's only understandable for an instructor. If you really want to learn Chinese, I highly recommend her!
