Smart. Fair. Descriptive. Receptive to students and tries to explain in best detail possible. Very nice. The lectures are crucial for understanding concepts, and if you miss a class you need to look up a similar lecture to the lesson. Tests account for most of your grade. Homework isn't mandatory but I recommend you do it.

Comment:
Dr. Zhang is a great professor. He mirrors his quiz & tests questions straight out of the homework he assigns. Not very many grades, but if you pay attention & DO the homework it's a breeze. He's hilarious & very willing to help during office hours also. He loves what he does- one time he stayed after class to help me finish a worksheet.

Comment:
Worst teacher ever. Doesn't use canvas, assigns homework but doesn't count it for points or check it. The only grades you have in the class are the 2 midterms, the final, and the weekly 10 point worksheets that do nothing to help your grade if you do bad on the tests. Wouldn't recommend to anyone who is slightly bad at math- he can't explain it!

Professor Zhang does not use canvas so be prepared to never know your grade in the class. Everything is optional in the class (attendance, homework, etc.) With that being said, your only grades are the 2 midterms, the final, and quizzes he gives throughout the semester. If you do not get high marks on the tests, you will not pass.

Comment:
People in my class were not very fond of Zhang. The problem we had with him is that he seems to just expect you to get it. He did not explain things very well at all and left us hanging out to dry. If you are looking for a teacher who will explain what he is doing and how he got the final solution, Zhang is not your man.

He assigns homework but doesn't grade it. During our final exam he said "5 minutes left" and more than half the class was still not done. Gets very worked up during class. Never cancel.

His class homework was easy. We had a quiz/ worksheet every Friday. He was a very nice guy and was there to help me and my classmates. It is okay to skip sometimes. Not on fridays.

Zhang is an amazing teacher. Math is my worst subject and he was really clear and always helpful. He lets you have a notecard on the exams, which was very helpful for me because like I said math is my worst subject. I would high recommed!

Dr. Zhang is a great teacher. I'm not exactly a math prodigy and I did well in his class, so I'm sure most people who aren't absolutely amazing at the subject would like him. Attendance isn't mandatory, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go. He lets you use index cards on the tests and is an unintentionally funny guy. Take him!

Dr. Zhang is pretty nice. He can be really hilarious, but I'm not sure if that's on purpose or not. Most of the stuff you do in his class is pretty easy as far as math goes. Only 500 pts for the whole class, but no mandatory hw.

Dr. Zhang is a pretty good prof. His lectures are usually pretty easy to understand. His tests aren't too bad. Im not very good in math, and i had a bit of dificulty following everything he said. But, overall Dr. Zhang wasn't too bad.

Very funny and upbeat class. Weekly worksheets, you can work in groups and use book. Many questions on tests come from worksheets, so make sure you understand worksheets. Be sure to be PERSISTENT in asking questions if you don't understand. He is willing to help, but has trouble understanding why you don't understand!

Dr. Zhang has lots of energy. Almost weekly quizzes/worksheets are open-book and in groups. The tests are exactly what he covers a lot in class. Cares that the students know the material. Easy class, even if you miss some classes.

Very good teacher. Quizzes every week but you get to be in groups. All the test questions come from quizzes. You get to use a notecard on all tests and this is very helpful.

Dr. Zhang is great. All quizzes are taken in groups and all test questions come from the homework or the quizzes. He expects you to come to class but he is enjoyable. He knows what he is talking about and I would take him again anytime.
