Comment:

He does have an accent so people tend to not like his course, but he is very straight forward. He gives examples and they will be on his test. If you need a prof for math 1000 take him, his assignments are easier than any other profs.

I really liked CZ, he's a funny and kind man who's always willing to help. However his class instruction could be very confusing, and he simply wouldn't hand back assignments or exam papers so sometimes we were left with no resources to work from to study for upcoming exams.

It's a difficult course regardless. He's a friendly, funny man. Gave a difficult second test this semester, with only 2 pages and questions which a few math majors were shocked to see given to us. Overall, not bad. Slight language barrier at first but within a week or so you can understand him fine.

He is a very funny and nice. But His writing is very hard to read, and he uses very weird explanations of how to solve mathematical problems, he doesn't give notes only examples. Would NOT recommend this prof. His accent is also hard to understand. He makes so many mistakes while doing the notes

C.Z. is a funny guy, and a great professor. His lectures are informative and well organized, and he's always willing to answer questions. He does have an accent, but it's very easy to get used to quickly. I found his assignments were simple and his midterms a bit more difficult, but nothing too hard for intro calc. He's very funny!

He's my favourite prof since coming to University. Although he is sometimes hard to understand and doesn't answer questions the best, he has hilarious analogies and says really funny jokes at the end of classes that make it all worth it. Tests are fair and he is very reasonable. Final was very hard though. Grade dropped over 20% for most people.

My favourite prof last semester! You can tell english is not his native tongue but his notes made up for what was lost through speech. Lectures often flew by and he ended class 5 minutes early most days to crack a joke with the class. Oh, and he stopped often to ensure everyone understood the topicanswer questions.

Hilarious and adorable man! His Chinese accent is thick, but you get used to it and you start to understand him after the first couple lectures, but he won't easily understand you. His tests are doable, but not easy either. He uses analogies to explain different mathematical processes that may be helpful or not, depending on how you like to learn.

C.Z. is a funny guy. Do note that he makes use of pretty weird analogies that some may find to be not helpful at all. Also, he does not use powerpoint slides. Rather, he teaches the course through pen and paper. He is approachable, but sometimes he fails to understand what students are asking him. The tests aren't bad and he is an easy marker.

Kuo is a very nice man and is funny in class. As someone who struggles with math I found this course very difficult with him though. He sometimes doesn't understand what you're asking when you ask a question and though his analogies are funny I didn't find them very useful in remembering what I was doing . Material is difficult but tests were fair.

Was about to give up on math until I had him. He has the weirdest analogies but you will find yourself using them after a while. Has an accent but is pretty easy to understand after a couple classes. Easy marker. Writing is very messy sometimes but if you ask him to clarify he doesn't mind at all. And is the funniest man I've ever met!

Such a great guy!!! Gets the job done but jokes around, too. Although English may not be his first language, he's not all that hard to understand, you just have to get used to the way he pronounces things. Recommend this guy!!

Awesome professor. Very funny and makes the class extremely enjoyable. He sometimes trips over his numbers and gets something wrong but it's usually something small so it's not that confusing. Other than that he is very clear and provides tons of examples. Marks fairly, if a bit on the hard side. Not very approachable or helpful.

Found him very confusing to follow in some classes, for example he would get half was through an example and scratch the whole thing out and tell us to forget it, its wrong. Very little in regards to notes. Went over many examples, skipping steps and not explaining what he was doing (assuming everyone could follow)

so disorganized and confusing. He hardly knew what he was talking about and he would do examples and not know how to do them so he would skip it which was super frustrating. Avoid him if possible .

Awesome Prof! at first there is most definitely a language barrier but you pick up on it very fast! you don't need a textbook and you don't have to attend every class. if you miss a few classes in a row he will lend out his notes for you to copy! best thing is jokes on Friday!
