Professor: Dr. Frederick Hok Ming CHEUNG
Professor is friendly and enthusiastic about teaching, he often plays songs and videos related to the lecture. Also, after the Mid-term exam, he'll give back the papers and explain things you need to improve on. However, he sometimes struggles to finish lectures on time. The Powerpoint itself is a bit simplistic as he wants you to attend the lectures to understand it better.

Professor: LAU Lo
老師好nice,課後會email一些短篇小說俾同學睇/提醒習作或課堂安排,亦會趁機關心學生;課堂氣氛輕鬆,上堂時間唔中會同同學吹下水,鍾意同同學討論唔同議題。
習作要求清晰,課堂+寫作指導上會詳細講點做習作會高分D,跟足要求做就容易靚grade

Instructor required students to do plank on the rough running track... I was hurt by the rough track; only announce written test date 2 weeks before; quite strict in skills test; Conclusion: should avoid registering his class especially if you are not good at sports

Professor: Dr Anna Tsui
Anna is a very nice lecturer who remembers most of the students in the class. Lectures are quite interesting as she always uses real-life business cases and online games to illustrate the management concepts. She also shares a lot of her experience working as an HR specialist. Highly recommended unless you want to skip lectures (which is almost impossible in Anna’s class).

Professor: Dr Linda Yung
Linda tries to make us understand the underlying principles of the math - but she actually makes it more complicated; always says “nothing new”; some advanced economic concepts involved

Ye Lei is a new professor who just came to CUHK in 2023/24; Rather clear explanation but boring & no interaction with students in class; slow teaching pace and always behind schedule

Professor: Dr Raymond Wong
Raymond is a very friendly lecturer who remembers most of the students. Very clear explanation and well-prepared ppt (but will need to fill in the blanks on the ppt slides by yourself, so don’t skip lectures). Will occasionally invite students to answer questions in class.

Professor: Cao Hong Jian
If given the chance, a house plant would teach better than him. He speaks too softly, doesn't adjust his mic, says at the start of the course that "you have to work hard to get a good grade" but doesn't fucking explain anything adequately and just skims over important concepts. He spends like 40 minutes talking crap about his research and 20 actually about class content. I had to self-learn everything with Crash Course and Khan Academy. He seems nice but his concerning lack of teaching skills (he said that he's been teaching for over 10 years in Beijing which is very concerning, because if that's the case, how did his students survive???) really put the final nail to the coffin. Working hard brings you nowhere. It took me 20 hours to complete an assignment of four questions because he explained naut. Zilch. Nada.

He is a VERY GOOD lecturer. Genuinely can capture your attention for 2 hours non-stop. He's very knowledgeable and helpful as well.

Professor: Han Dong Kun
lecture notes are just copied from textbook (and is poorly copied, sometimes will miss the steps or even result in example/proof), better directly read textbook instead. Professor is nice, but he said NO PASTPAPERS WERE PROVIDED IN PREVIOUS YEARS(provided 2020 final this year tho, but the final this year is mostly different from that and the questions are hard).

Professor: YIN Xiaotong
quite easy to comprehend who teaches this course rlly doesn't matter just put more time to rmb all the stuffs then u will be fine. This lecturer is ultimately a killer, B- cut off score 70/100, more than 100 people (total 365 people in the class) cant even get a B-. Useless grading

Professor: Dr Vince Ngan Siu Hin
The professor answers students' questions quickly, thoughtfully and comprehensively. Plus, he posts all students' questions onto the Blackboard so other students can refer to it. In terms of the course content though, it is very math-heavy but the math is useless for future PSYC courses; only the concepts is useful. Lectures and tutorials can skip

Professor: Dr. KOT Hung Wan
useful course, good grade lecturer
2024-02-08
Professor: Tomohiro Inoue
Monotone but explains different concepts clearly. Although the course has some foundational knowledge from PSYC2350, he explains them clearly to students who haven't taken/completed it yet. The textbook may help you understand better but the format is very annoying to read. The assessment of tutorial participation is a bit troublesome, as it requires you to ask questions in every presentation. Lecture not mandatory but I suggest going to it as this course introduces some linguistics concepts that could be easier to understand in person.

Professor: Au Winton Wing Tung
The professor is very passionate, outgoing and friendly. He actively engages the students by asking questions, telling jokes, and showing video demonstrations. Explains concept in a clear way. However he can be ditzy sometimes, such as forgetting to teach a certain topic and telling the wrong date for the midterm (these may be due to cancellation of first class). Lectures and tutorials are not mandatory, but tutorials are a good time to discuss group project with TAs.
2024-02-08
Professor: Maurer Urs
Professor is kind-hearted and friendly. Teaching is ok-ish but the content of the Powerpoint is just copying the textbook. No need to attend lectures or tutorials unless you need to present/you are the audience group.

導師講解都ok,會用日常生活例子說明,上堂時會做練習,已經識嘅話唔上都得

Lectures are easy to understand and fun because the professor demonstrates topics using news documentary. No attendance required. Professor is responsible and helpful, explains assignment requirements clearly.

Professor: Mr. WONG On Tung
Very nice teacher, gave us hints on what questions are on the written test, can point out any problems with our posture
2024-02-02
Professor: Yin Xiaotong
May directly read from Lecture slides sometimes but still try to engage students by asking questions (but people rarely respond). However she is very helpful when you have questions regarding the group project, as she will reply with great detail and explanation. The tutorials are useless and can skip because it only teaches how to use Jamovi, which was already covered in PSYC2010.
2024-02-01
Professor: Ms. LAM Shirley
Friendly and considerate; she will extend deadlines if she thinks students are having difficulty and welcomes consultations. She also thoroughly explains the assignment rubrics with some examples so we how to do better in our coursework. The course itself is a bit chur though, since you cannot rely on cue cards for the persuasive presentation, you have to spend more time to prepare.

Professor: Mr. Oliver YUNG
nice presentation skill, very passionate during class. But grading quite tight, total 75.8% dou B (suppose should be B+)

Professor: Du Julan
a bit boring in class but you have to attend to know which part he talked about and which part are skipped. Although it is open-book but you won't have time to go thought all by yourself at the end of semester(that's why you have to attend lesson). You need to prepared for it so that you can finish the final exam on time.

easy and leng grade. exams are not difficult as long as you attend lessons and know how to do the exercise.

Professor: BAI Ying
This course did performed a different view to review economic performance of countries. It started with the solow model but the latter part is purely text. To conclude, it has some part of math but still in an acceptable range. For the group projects, he was nice and provided a lot of useful comments on the project e.g how he wanted us to show the differences. Maybe a bit fast when he was teaching the math part but overall still good teaching performance.

Professor: Zhang Yifan
For mid term, only T/F with explanation and some short questions. For final, MC and some long essay questions. Although the class is quite boring but the workload is chill (essay only need to write 10-15 pages including graphics and tables). Recommended to take this course.
2024-01-29
Professor: Travis Ng
He is bit aggressive at class and during consultations but grading dou ok geh if you did not scared out by him and followed his instructions on your projects. Be aware that you really have to prepare something before doing the consultation otherwise it will be a tough time for you e.g get a lot of questions from him.

Varies between different professors. My professor is interactive, fun, and encourages active participation and tells us his life stories.
2024-01-15
Professor: LAU Siu Lun
Friendly and enthusiastic, the professor engages the class by discussing interesting historical events and showing some pictures/videos. However, they are not heavily related to the exam, so you don’t have to attend class to get a good grade. When you don’t know how to do the book report, the professor would give you some ideas to write about. The course does not have heavy workload but isn't easy to get a good grade either, as you need to have rich knowledge of Hong Kong history.

Professor: Dr. Fok Hung Kit
Professor's English is a bit poor. However, he's friendly and helpful. If you have any questions, you can ask anytime on Padlet and he'll answer all of them in great details during the lectures. However I do not recommend this course as a faculty package if you want an easy A.
2024-01-15
Professor: Varies
The exam is very tricky. For the MCQ, you need to memorize a lot of specific details in the lecture notes. Furthermore, the questions asked may not be covered in the lecture notes and only mentioned verbally in lectures. Some questions regarding the history of NA can only be found on the website. As for the LQ, you need to write 2 essays of 500 words each, yet the rubrics of the LQ is unclear.

Professor: Mr. LAU Jimmy
Enthusiastic, helpful, and friendly. Explains contents and assessment requirements clearly and thoroughly. The teacher encourages participation in class and lets us discuss in groups. Understanding of students' needs. The course itself has less workload and more flexible than ELTU1001.

The professor's teaching is alright, she welcomes questions from students but her tips for the exam may be misleading.
