Professor: Professor TSAO
I do enjoy the lectures on public policy from Professor TSAO. The course structure is practical and it is always helping me broaden my horizons in the field of public policy in the Greater China Region. Professor TSAO is nice and he has always prepared a lot in the lectures. The ideas from the lectures provided us with many conceptual thoughts and overall it was a great lecture!

Professor: Prof TSAO King Kwun
Prof Tsao is a really responsible and nice professor. I enrolled in his GPGC 5004 course in fall 2020, which required students to deliver presentations and papers which were all related to public policies under Greater China perspective. Prof Tsao cared about students' improvement, for Prof Tsao always gave detailed feedbacks and comments to students' work, and encouraged students to enquire him about the topic of their paper through email. During my interactions with Prof Tsao, I think Prof Tsao is knowledgable about public policy (education / housing / ...), and is open to different standpoints and views of students, and is willing to give students instructions. Prof Tsao's class is a great chance for students to learn about public policy.

During the lecture, I guess 95% of the class have no idea what is Mr. Lam saying because most of our IT skills is very limited (given that it is a social science class). But if you replay the video, and drop more notes, and try out working with Excel, then you should be fine.

Always revise after each lesson to refresh your memory. That is my strongest advice. If you do not revise or skip lessons, then the language course might not be for you. Ms. Cecilia will require you to turn on your camera and have frequent interaction. (I understand this might be chur, but language course needs to be chur in order for one to learn a new language from scratch)

For the workout training log, please clarify what are the requirements of a "good" workout log in order to get that 8%. E.g. Do not just write running, walking, etc.... You should include many different fitness moves, and do at least 20-30 minutes during each time (3 times per week). Basically, every 6 weeks, you will do at least 15 workout logs.

Mostly lecture. But you can interact with the lecturer through the mic or chat function on ZOOM. For students whose Chinese language ability is very limited, I suggest you review the course material before attending the lecture, otherwise, you might have a hard time following the lecture, as she might speak quite fast. One thing that I particularly like is that she is told the students not to worry too much about this course, and she is trying not to burden us with assignments or exams. I felt like this course workload is around 2 credits. (although I might face a bit more workload because of my limited language ability)

In the tutorial, you will be randomly assigned to a breakout room. You have 30-45 minutes to work on the worksheet, answering a few questions related to the text. Then each group will voluntarily present in the main session. But having free-riders in a group can be problematic.

Professor: Dr. Clement Wong
First of all, take Clement's course and dodge Ping Yu. Ping Yu's english is more challenging to comprehend than the material. Many avoid Clement because of his multiple choice, but the difficulty is honestly exaggerated and not that crazy. The questions he sets are largely based on lectures so if you go to class and pay attention, you should find the questions to be okay and not hard to do well on. Lectures are very clear and complicated concepts are made easy to understand with good examples. Go to his office hours if you don't understand something, great mentor.

This course covers a lot of topics and most concepts need to be furthered researched on your own. You will have to spend a lot of time reading the textbook and memorize the definitions and concepts for the tests. As for the tutorials, I don't think they add anything to the overall course experience and some tutors have weird and strict marking rubic for the mini-projects. Research participation is fun but time-consuming.

Prof好好人! 佢上堂好有心機教，有咩唔明email佢都好快覆。有啲要錄音嘅功課佢比超多feedback，會好有耐性教返你發音應該係點。上堂個速度唔會太快，作為初學者我完全跟到。不過始終係language科所以真係要經常溫返學過嘅嘢，同埋攞好grade唔係特別容易，我self-intro video同group project兩份都有90幾分，但兩份都係得A-，應該係靠oral exam同participation好彩拉到個A。所以如果想輕鬆靚grade就唔建議揀呢科啦。

I really loved the lectures themselves and my tutor! The tutor prepared us engaging lectures and games for tutorials. The only thing a very little heavy and hard for me was reading (not selfish gene but blank slate ...) but you'll do fine on quizzes if you spend some time reading them . Speak up during tutorials too
