  values(Eden,Yuan,323744573, 
  select professor_id from PROFESSORS where professor_name =  'Chu ')

I get an error

saying missing expression

Answer 1

you can use this way (assuming that professor_id is the column you need)

insert into student(first_name,last_name,student_number,professor_id) 
select 'Eden', 'Eden', 323744573, column_professor_id 
from PROFESSORS where professor_name = 'Chu ' ;

(In your query is missing the column in the select )
