Reviews of professor Li Zou

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I wish I could get out of this class. Its very boring and I cant understand his sentences due to strong accent. He has interesting skills to make lectures super boring. Pop quizzes all the way which he doesnt admit it was a pop quiz. Horrible class with a mean teacher.

Professor shows that he really does care, but he may be trying to do too much. Homework was challenging and often took a while to complete. I think he adjusted well for his first time teaching a course at CSUEB. I see room for development and needed time for him to organize and better prepare next terms. Gives an abundance of information.

Li zou is worst instructor I ever had in my life. He has ridiculously heavy verbal accent combined with boring lectures. Trying to teach too much in lectures. Pop quizzes despite the time difference during covid19. We have to get up at midnight to take his quiz in class. Do not take his class. You will be depressed

He may seem difficult at first, but he really cares for the students. Lots of homework, but he gives a reasonable time frame of when he expects it to be completed. He could improve on his explanation style, but overall he is pretty good at getting the ideas across through his examples.

Zou is knowledgeable statistician but a horrible instructor. 
His lectures are extremely boring & it's hard to stay focused the whole time. He is very knowledgeable but has no talent in teaching and probably needs to pursue a different career in statistics. I took 631 & 640 with him and struggled with both classes hardly like many of my classmates.

He can be a bit difficult to understand and read through but for elementary statistics with easy understanding of grading and efficient help, he is your go-to.
