Comment:

Honestly one of the worst professors I've ever had at UNCC. Grades consist of 4 tests so if you bomb one you'll never recover. Says the homework will help boost your grade at the end of the semester but never changes your grade. Gives terrible feedback on tests and grades extremely inconsistent. Avoid at all costs!

Comment:

I just feel so hopeless in this class. He told us to watch nine hours of lectures by the first class period, and it never got better. The tests are harder than the homework, the homework has no due date so it's hard to know how far I've fallen behind, and there are no grades besides the tests so if you fail anything, you're basically done.

I would NEVER recommend him. He's extremely condescending! He has lots of lectures that can get confusing. If he doesn't think your question is hard he'll say, "How is that hard? Im not going over that. " He told us, "if you think I teach in a way thats hard to understand. You're wrong! Just learn to understand." I've never met anyone this rude.

If I hadn't withdrawn due to my illness, I know it would be a lot of me teaching myself the material. The videos don't match up to the homework we were assigned, his hand writing was sloppy, and he was rude when answering questions. We asked when the test was since there were no dates, but he gets angry at us.

Zhang really cares about his students, but it's obvious that he is struggling with distanced learning changing the way he has to teach. If you take him online, you will really have to put in a lot of time to do well in this course. There is no room for error, you have to watch every lecture, do every homework problem, and come to the live lectures.

Due to the COVID his classes have turned to online. Does NOT teach much in zoom meetings. You learn all the information by yourself from the videos he has recorded and he doesn't edit them so you might have to erase some things because he got the information wrong. his zoom meetings are just for questions. homework optional. only grades are tests

This man is not fit to be a professor, very rude and never gives a straight response or most times no response to your doubts and questions. Its like any other stat class you would have taken at uncc but dont expect any help from this guy when it comes to anything.

Comment:

I would not recommend for Summer sessions specifically. He's decent at lecturing but he's disorganized and has no set dates for any of the tests. Claims "I've never done this before" as an excuse to have a sloppy online schedule. He lacks empathy and often claims that poor grades are a direct result of laziness. He's smart but rude.

Dr. Zhang made Statistics very easy to understand. It's important to attend all the classes if you want to do well. He makes the material a lot easier to comprehend than reading will ever do. He grades based on 4 tests, but there is a lot of optional homework. You can bring a notes sheet to tests.

He teaches everything straight from the textbook, but lectures to no end by drawing all over the chalkboard. The first test in this class is easy, but the other ones are most certainly not, and the whole grading scheme for the class is based on 4 tests, each 25% of your grade. He's not a bad professor, I just disagree with the way he does things.

Dr. Zhang is a good teacher. He truly cares about his students learning the material. I am not good at math, but he tried very hard to help me understand any topics I needed help with. He was always available during his office hours. He does not take attendance, but you will not pass if you do not go.

Your grade is solely based on 3 tests and the final. Nothing else. He is knowledgeable and teaches well but I did find myself doing a lot of learning on my own. Attendance is not mandatory but definitely go. The first test is easy but it gets really hard after that and it can be hard to catch up. I skipped a whole 3 weeks and definitely regret it.

Dr. Zhang is a great professor. One may say he's far too intelligent to be teaching this course. It may get rigorous after the 1st test but if you attend every class, take notes, & do HW there's no reason not to do well in this course. ASK QUESTIONS WHEN CONFUSED! There's only 4 grades which are tests so study hard and he also allows cheat sheets.

Professor Zhang thoroughly explains all the material that we'll be tested on. Homework is optional, but very helpful if you do it and he will go over any questions you had about it at the beginning of every class. Your final grade is composed of 3 tests and a final. He genuinely wants us to succeed, is easy to understand, and a remarkable educator.

Very hard to understand, and he does not explain his thought process well. Test are tough and there are only 3 excluding the final. Which are your only grades. So go to class and do the homework and study guides!

HATE! I absolutely hate math to begin with and he made me hate it a lot more. Very hard to understand with his accent. This is probably the most difficult class I've had. He is very discouraging and always tells us that if we do not understand we might as well drop the class. Awful professor. Would not recommend.

Professor Zhang was awful. His accent is IMPOSSIBLE to understand. He is way too smart to teach the material well. I got an 88 on the first test, and it all went downhill when the material got harder. I failed this class miserably and re-took it with professor Stephen Wuor and passed with a B! He was the best professor I have ever had!!!
