Comment:
the worst teacher ever in the university. we did not understand her and she make a lot of mistakes. she did not grade fair , so you will lose a lot of point even though you right a correct answers. if she did not like you answer she will take whole points . i do not recommend it at all. stay away from her class.

Comment:
One of my favorite professors. She's very kind, grades fairly (dropped a question she wrote wrong mid-exam), funny, explains things clearly, gives plenty of time for questions. I was initially dreading this class due to content, but within 2 weeks this became my favorite class of the semester due to her.

Good news: She does drop the lowest test score. Bad news:It does not matter, these test are tough. Final is worth 40% of your total grade. Please do not bomb a test because one of them is a throwaway. Study and ask questions and you should be fine.

She is amazing!!! loved her so much! she definitely has an accent, and you sit down your first class and think "ohhhhhh shoot" but you get used to it. Very helpful, very accessible, explains things well.

Ping Zhang is a great professor. She will take the time to explain concepts in more detail anytime you ask. Go to her office hours and she will be willing to help you. She always explained what was on exams and exams were always fair. She is a great professor.

One of the few teachers at WMU's Math Department who actually does her job. Excellent test preparation. Do your homework, do the assigned test prep and you'll get a decent grade. Very helpful.

Comment:
This is one of the best math teachers at Western. Professor Zhang shows great respect for her students and genuinely cares for their education. I am not doing so well in her class this semester, but that is my fault not hers. Her lectures are precise and if you pay attention the language barrier is not a problem.

Tough class but she is a great teacher. Good sense of humor. If you attend her classes and make sure to listen and do the homework you will do just fine for the most part.

A bit hard to understand at first but it gets better after a while. She is very nice, funny, and helpful. No homework grades, just 3 tests and a final exam for grades. Class is tough but she makes it not so bad.

Hard to understand at first. But once you know how she says certain words, there was no problem. She was always helpful, even when going to her office. Always cheerful and happy to help. Grading is very liberal. Looking for other classes this instructor teaches. She did co-author the book, so she uses it extensively.

Comment:
Dr.Zhang is the best professor I have had at Western. She has an infectious energy in the classroom, which makes people want to come. Her homework load is minimal, but her tests are challenging. She takes personal attention to her students that make an effort. I recommend her to anybody wanting to learn.

Comment:
Dr. Zhang is a great professor. She is very clear, very intelligent, and always well-prepared. She is not as hard to understand as some people on here say; some words are a little funny ("contains" in particular), but it is easy to follow. I highly recommend her.
