Professor: YAM Kwan Mei
teaching skills okay la; too many in-class activities which altogether only account for 10% of the total grade, seriously overrun.

Professor: Hugo Ip
taught in cantonese, practical but technical analysis is somehow not that useful in reality

Professor: Ms. Chan Sin Han Catalina
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.

bad,讀ppt
2024-05-30
Professor: Dr Tomohiro Inoue
Monotone tone and reads from slides. Lectures are not mandatory so you can skip those. However, he's still helpful when you have questions about the lecture materials.
In the Group report, you need to code the interview data but this process wasn't taught until the last tutorial. Furthermore, the tutorial only explained very briefly. You need to research on your own to know what exactly you need to do

Professor: Dr. Ivy Xingya XU
The professor directly reads PPT slide, but can explain complicated concepts well. The lecture slides are enough for the mid-term quiz but the textbook is helpful for understanding the concepts better. The professor and TAs are helpful with the group project and gives detailed advice.

Professor: Issac Lowe Chun Yip
Issac is a funny and easygoing lecturer with a deep understanding and knowledge of philosophy and public affairs. If you are interested in both of these, try this course! You won't regret it!
2024-05-30
Professor: Dr. Ivy Xingya XU
The professor's teaching is alright. She reads from the lecture slides so it doesn’t make a difference if you attend lectures or not. She welcomes questions from students and answers them in detail. However, her tips for the exam may be misleading. Although there are "required readings", you don't actually need to read them.

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

Professor: Li Chi Leung
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: Prof Yang Xue
Sherry is supportive and approachable
2024-05-29
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).
2024-05-29
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
2024-05-29
Professor: Ms He Shan (何杉老師)
Ms He teaches pretty well
2024-05-29
Professor: Prof Ye Lei
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
2024-05-29
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.

Professor: Birks, David
He is a VERY GOOD lecturer. Genuinely can capture your attention for 2 hours non-stop. He's very knowledgeable and helpful as well.
2024-05-08
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).
2024-05-04
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
2024-03-02
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.
2024-02-08
Professor: CHAN, Kin-lok
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
2024-02-07
Professor: Ho Ching Wai
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.
2024-02-06
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+)
2024-01-29
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.

Professor: Hugo IP
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.
2024-01-29
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.
