Professor: The professor you chose
If you do not really like writing very long paper all on your own, NEVER choose this course as your capstone course. Literally the worst learning experience you can ever have. There are several more enjoyable ones you can choose. There is the field trip one, There is the laboratory one. There are the seminar ones. You may want to know how it is like to be a Mphil or Phd student, but I doubt whether it is worth the pain while you have much better options.

Professor: Fong Wan
方老師的語氣不像其他老師般友善，比較直腸直肚。課程前半部分總會花時間吐槽日研系，或是分享個人生活，後半部分則因為時間不充足而沒有吐槽了。課程有大量堂上或課後功課，只能靠完成功課來改善翻譯出現的問題和提升日語水平。功課和例題都會涉及N2、3的文型和句子，甚至出現少量N1的，對剛讀完2460的同學不太友善。

The course content itself is boring, but the lecturer tried to use examples which involved innocent classmates who sat in the front of the classroom lol. The lecturer also tried to shared his own experience so that we did not fall asleep.

Thorough explanation was provided during lecture time, but sometimes quite boring just by listening to his teaching. Sometimes difficult situations were asked in assignments and exams, but any stances were accepted by him as long as adequate and reasonable explanation was provided in the answers.

ACCT3121 Cost and Management Accounting

Professor: Chunmei Zhu
Although she read her PPT slides at once, she also tried to explain in detail and incorporate in-class and after-class practice questions which were sufficient for revision purpose. Quite a number of theory questions were asked during mid-term, but almost none in the final. She was also very nice to promise that the final would not be and indeed was not more difficult than mid-term, because of the fact that the mid-term (S.D. = 17/100) was already able to distinguish more and less abler students. All questions' format and items could be prepared just be reading her slides - no need to do extra practice which were of higher difficulty.

Professor: Yuqing Zhou
Quite shocking to know that she could not answer difficult questions raised by hard-working students who come from Mainland China. She taught by reading the PPT at once, so it might not be very efficient or beneficial to go to her class. She was relatively lazier compared to other professors from China who in general worked harder in order to teach better.

Good at teaching and he encourages students to participate in the class discussion. He uses many interesting Chinese fables, traditional stories and proverbs to explain the economic theory. (E.g., use 羊毛出在羊身上 to explain the taxation, use 江山易改本性難移 to explain people’s saving preference, use 朝三暮四 to explain Ricardian Equivalence...)

UGEB2161 Resource Issues in the Age of Globalization
Shared by Anonymous
2022-04-14
Professor: Prof Lawal Marafa
DO NOT take this course!!! This professor gives very unclear instructions for the op-ed and often has audio and video problems, i.e., he doesn't optimize the quality for video sharing so the video is always very lagging. The in-class activity is also very confusing as he doesn't give clear instructions and everyone was asking each other what to do when we did the in-class activity the first time. His powerpoint slides are also very hard to read as he uses colors that are very contrasting with the background.

The assessment methods are unclear and chaotic! The in-class activities tend to be responding to questions based on a video. Then, you will be put into a breakout room in a group of 8-12 people for 15 mins. Afterward, one person will submit their answers to the UReply. You will have to figure out how to incorporate ideas from 12 people into one single answer for the UReply submission! The professor often has audio problems when broadcasting the video which makes the video rather difficult to listen to. The instructions for the OP-ED are also unclear and quite contradictory! The PowerPoint is rather disorganized (very 1999), and its designs were very distracting.

Highly do not recommend this professor, his teaching is very unclear and the handwriting in class is hard to read. For the midterm, when he said the midterm was only for chapters 1 to 3, he still included chapter 4 making it confusing for everyone in the test. For the presentation, he said each group had 15 minutes, but in the end, each group only had 10-12 minutes. He would suddenly interrupt you and disrupt your presentation.

He is knowledgeable and intelligent, always asking stimulating questions during classes.

There's a lot of interaction in class, two-way communication is great. The atmosphere of the class is very relaxed and we can express our opinions. In the presentation, both the professor and the classmates were involved in giving timely and valuable suggestions. I am very grateful to Professor TSAO for bringing us such an interesting course!

This course focuses on the Asian region. We learned the methods and tools of comparative public policy analysis. We also analyzed anti-corruption policies, higher education policies, etc. in the context of the times. Professor TSAO King Kwun, who taught the class, is a very kind, affable, and knowledgeable teacher. He often used his own experiences in other countries, such as Thailand and Chicago, as examples to incorporate his knowledge and share his unique insights and experiences with us, which was very fascinating. In class, Prof. TSAO encouraged us to actively participate in the interaction and we were able to freely express our opinions and insights. The discussions and interactions in class not only enlivened our minds, but the clash of ideas often made me think back and ponder even after the class.

Prof. Tsao is one of the nicest and most responsible professors I have met in my school's life. His lectures were always well prepared, organized, on schedule, and interesting. Please trust me, you will never be sleepy and exhausted in his lectures during the entire semester. Sometimes it was very kind that he could remind us many days before the due dates of our assignments even as graduate students. I feel that it is the greatest honor to meet him at CUHK!
