Reviews of professor Zachary Bailey

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I would highly recommend avoiding this professor at all costs. Does not teach material in class. You learn it independently and class time is reserved for asking questions. Does not give partial credit (will grade 0 out of XXX amount of points for an incorrect answer). 2 midterm exams worth 20% each and 1 final exam worth 25%. Does not curve.

Prof Bailey clearly knew the material well but was terrible at teaching. He would only explain things in one (nonsensical) way and give you rude looks and remarks when you were confused or asked for further explanation. He created an intimidating atmosphere in the class that made me not even want to show up.

Makes everything way more confusing than it needs to be. I think I came out of this experience knowing less than I did before. Spends way to much time over explaining things than actually showing you how to do problems. Overall I think he is a nice guy and cares, but just a terrible teacher. Avoid his class if you can.

Prof. Bailey is ok. Chill, gives minimal HW. Other professors assign more HW but then post solutions for all the problems which I found to be more beneficial. Reasonable grader. Lectures can be hard to follow, he doesn't really narrate as he's going. Lectures are fast-paced, he often introduces new topics in the last 5 minutes and goes over time.
