Evaluation Comments for Berninghausen

  1. No Comment
  2. Bai laoshi has a lot of energy in the classroom and is an amazing professor. Be sure to get a lot of sleep before taking his class or he will call you on it when you yawn.
  3. Bi Laoshi doesn't look students in the eye. He looks right above eye level. It's an intimidation tactic. HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN FEELGOODISM as a teacher, which is great because learning language is difficult and he doesn't pretend like its not. He's the real deal, love him. He seems really hardcore, but he really is a sweet man (if you log the hours, and come to class well-rested)
  4. This class is not as intimidating and hard as it seems the first month or so. That said, it is a challenging class, and although the professors are very good at helping people's individual needs, personal abilities (rather than just time) do come into play. Nevertheless, you get what you put in. It's an extremely fun class, the teacherrs are geniuses and you will laugh a lot. I highly recommend it, don't be scared by what people tell you.
  5. Bai Laoshi may seem intimidating at first, but that's his strategy. Once you get deeper into the course, you realize that he started off tough for a reason. Middlebury has an amazing Chinese program and anyone who is interested should seize the opportunity to start.
  6. Bai Laoshi rocks the mic
