I had Cui for ARTH200 over the winter semester, and I highly recommend it if you find the topic interesting and are a strong writer. His lectures are a bit stale, but that's par for the topic. His first language isn't English, so he talks a bit slower but speaks very clearly. He is very understanding about assignments and will work with you if you need extra time. He wants you to do well and gives very constructive and encouraging feedback. If you are not a passionate writer or philosophical thinker, maybe avoid taking this class, as that is the bread and butter of the course. You can tell Cui is very passionate, well-read, and excited about the topic and is a thorough lecturer. I came out of this intensive course understanding the world through art and being able to identify origin countries and eras-- very cool skills to use, especially when walking around DC or even campus. Highly recommend Cui.

I really enjoy Professor Cui. I've had him for ARTH200 and ARTH330, and both classes were very doable and engaging. His assignments aren't difficult, mostly short papers (2-6 pages), and maybe a quiz here or there, but they're all very simplistic and easy to structure. All of the classes I've taken of his were virtual, and although his prerecorded lectures can get a little dull, you don't have to take extremely detailed notes on each one to get a good grade. His essay structure was a little annoying, releasing each essay topic the day before it was due, but he is very accommodating and will give extra time if needed. He loves interacting with students and is very passionate about the topics he discusses. Would for sure recommend to anyone in the ARTH program!
