Professor: Professor AU Wing-tung Winton
Extremely bad time management. In later classes, we have to use tutorial time to teach because we were so behind on progress. On the other hand, the professor is very enthusiastic and the class is engaging. He often demonstrates concepts clearly with examples.
The TA gives detailed feedback on assignments. Some tutorial sessions are consultation session and you can ask for feedback there too.
Lectures or tutorials do not require attendance.

Professor: Ata GHADEI
Mediocre teaching, monotone, reads from lecture notes. Not inspiring. Lectures and tutorials do not take attendance. IMO it is better to use your time to read the lecture notes/textbook yourself instead of attending lectures.
Gives tips on midterm/final exam that turn out to be misleading. For example, the professor said that the quiz questions would only test conceptual knowledge, but some actual questions test on specific details (e.g. The percentage of people with a certain disorder).
Workload relatively heavy, compared to other PSYC electives

PSYC2240 Sensation and Perception

2025-01-15
Professor: Dr. Liqiang HUANG
Professor is passionate about the topic. In every lesson, he asks students to answer his questions, do demonstrations and show videos to make class more lively. At the end, he asks group discussion questions, which are helpful to reflect on as those types of questions appear in the exams.
Lecture notes are very clear. It explains and demonstrates a concept clearly with examples.
For any non-major students, I recommend taking PSYC2010 and PSYC2020 first as knowledge of experimental methods will be useful for the exams.

Fair teaching skills, clearly states expectations of the assignment. She also lets us practise interview questions before the actual assessment. Class atmosphere is relaxing, lets us discuss in groups, then answer her questions during the lesson. However, even though she promised to return the scores on assignments, she never did so.

建議0精算底唔好讀呢個course，教咗啲簡單版嘅soa fm & ltam內容（fyi ifaa 係用3個course去教呢兩個考試），精算啲概念唔係一個學期可以攪得掂，而且重點係prof好爛grade。你想攞B+，講緊差唔多要高過mean十幾二十分。想0底攞A range，幾乎冇可能，全班都冇幾個A。因為個課程太散，你啲精算/保險基礎都未打好嘅時候，上完呢個course基本上係唔會學到野。如果有興趣讀精算/保險，強烈建議take FINA2200，FINA3221/22

Sandy is really nice and gives constructive feedback for reflective essay and term paper outlines that helped me improve. She explains complicated concepts clearly, and tutorials were well-structured, despite her English with a strong Cantonese accent. Although I am uninterested in science, I enjoyed Sandy’s tutorials.

This is my second course taught by Anna - she’s really nice. Her lectures are interesting as she always uses real-life business cases to explain different HR functions. Will learn a lot even if you do not plan to become an HR, or even if you are not a business student. She also shares a lot of her past experience working as an HR specialist. Highly recommended unless you want to skip lectures.

He teaches like shit, mainly due to his inability to explain basic concepts clearly. As a result, he over-complicates even the simplest organic chemistry concept. Also, his English has a heavy Chinese accent and he never speaks into the microphone.

COMM2922 Introduction to Creative and New Media
Shared by Anonymous
2024-08-08
Professor: CHOW, Carol P.H.
She admitted that she was NOT GOOD AT AUDIO/SOUND. She and the TAs only taught this session with less than one lecture of sound narrative theories plus around two lectures of practical skills on how to record and edit recordings. Yet, she expected students to combine soundscapes, human voices and music into the audio assignment with perfect timing, making every second meaningful. Some classmates and I agreed that we couldn’t grasp the essence of her teaching.
Moreover, handing in 3 assignments in 7 weeks was very DEMANDING. If you want to start working on the assignments when all content has been taught, you only have ONE WEEK to complete TWO ASSIGNMENTS. I hope that it will be better next year.
I took this course during summer semester, with whole day lesson. If the lecturer remains the same, and it is whole day lesson in summer, I recommend every student taking this course to BRING YOUR OWN LUNCHBOXES, as there will likely be CLASSWORK DURING LUNCHTIME.
She strongly tend to FORCE HER RULES, AESTHETIC STANDARDS AND WORD VIEWS ON STUDENT’S WORKS, and be very critical on grading. See from above for her worldviews.

SOCI3452 Selected Topics in Sociology II
Shared by Anonymous
2024-07-12
Professor: Professor Jin SUN
Professor Sun has claims he will teach a lot about the global sociology and that he will invite guest lecturers during the course so students can establish a connection and success in the financial industry. In order to ensure his course not being cancelled, he will teach "normally" with PowerPoint. However, this is absolutely a false promise and borderline deception with intent. After the add-drop period, he has completely changed his teaching attitutde. None of the guest lecturers as claimed in the course outline has ever shown up to class, but instead it is about often an 1 hour interview clip from Youtube! He no longer uses PowerPoint to teach, but rather kept on broadcasting Youtube videos and waste most of the class time on students' presentation. He even disrespect the students and constantly make fun of their presentations and insulting the students' supposed "lack of knowledge" on the subject matter when he is the one who has never taught anything in class. For example, he always play on his phone throughout the students present presentation (e.g., texting, watching video, or web surfing) and then afterwards spend the entire Q&A making the presenters feeling humiliated. In short, I found this course has serious teaching quality problems to the point it has become the instructor is rather using the students for his selfish gains for tenure-track promotion, so therefore, I would recommend the students to choose other UGEC courses and have far less confidence with this course.

UFGN1000 In Dialogue With Nature
Shared by Anonymous
2024-07-11
Professor: Cherry Lam To Kam
Dr. Lam taught the lesson in a strict and monotonous manner. For discussions, she will arrange everyone into groups and let every group share their thoughts groupwise. She is an experienced lecturer, so she knows how to deal with texts and also discussions. However, that is not the case for essays(TP and RJ), as she only wants an essay stream that she thinks is correct. Otherwise, you are very possibly subjected to a bad grade. Essays, in my opinion, should be open and free to write what you think is right, especially if you are discussing philosophical and abstract concepts, and as long as it is logically sound and grammatically graceful, it is perfectly fine. Yet, in her class, you are quite limited to writing freely; you should write the one idea that she thinks is right instead of what you think is justifiable. Still, I am happy to take the class because I believe I learned from the texts.

Mediocre, despite what the course outline says, the lessons are not interactive, even in Q&A. Most of the time it's just the teacher talking without student input. Plus, the teacher show bias towards certain topics. However, she is friendly most of the time and will answer your questions on assignments.
