Comment:
For the final project, I messed up and accidentally sent code that didn't compile but I sent her an email and explained why it didn't compile and the exact line/position I needed to insert a parenthesis (the scheme project) for it to compile and work. Initially got a 0 but after my email she regraded for a passing grade

I am never felt more this discouraged and depressed by a class before. Her lectures are informative but does not relate entirely to her homework and projects. She teaches the surface of the iceberg and asks mostly from what's hidden underneath. Not worth the stress especially in this pandemic.

Learned a lot in this class. She was helpful and responsive to forum posts. The class material and projects were not easy but she did a lot to help us succeed. Get ready to do a lot of work.

I honestly did not really enjoy the class because of the boring and complicated material. However, Professor Zhang is very responsive to emails and on the forum page. Even though the class itself is not very fun, Zhang does her best to help everyone and I really liked her as a teacher.

Comment:
She is a very caring professor who goes into details in office hours. However, there is room for her to improve her teaching skills. Lectures are somewhat boring with a good amount of information contained. Lecture slices are posted regularly. It takes too long to post the first project and we are running out of time by the end of the semester.

Comment:
"test heavy" meaning that the midterm or final is worth 60% of your grade, so if you perform poorly on them you're SOL. Ignore the CS415 reviews since u need at least a B in 314 to take 415 with her; a B doesn't reflect the majority of the grades people got (all very low). No curve, only teaches you C and scheme. This class was useless, busy work.

Comment:
i'm not too mad that i had taken her over steinberg. but she's just only one level above him in terms of lecture quality. she's hard to understand, and her exams are poorly designed that i actually know a lot of people failing this class. she says there's no curve, but there is extra credit at least.

Comment:
She is cute and nice. She is hard to understand in lectures, and by the midterm, only 1/4th of the class shows up for lecture, and only 1/4th of that 1/4th actually pays attention while at lecture. HW is hard, and her exams are terribly written. Projects are okay. Recitation doesn't help after the first 3 weeks. Not the worst, but not at all good.

A little hard to understand but she posts her slides online. Written homework every week and three coding projects. Projects are relatively straightforward and simple. Exams are medium difficulty but gives many extra credit opportunities.

Really great professor. Class gets dull if no one participates, and you'll definitely be missing out. This is her field, and she knows a lot of what's going on today. Workload isn't a lot. She's willing to help you get a decent grade, and at the same time, tries to make sure you are learning.

Sweet class. She goes over the slides comprehensively and basically explains all of the algorithms and concepts you need to know clearly. She doesn't speak very loudly though. Workload is manageable.
