Reviews of professor Mingxian Zhong

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class is difficult on its own. The professor could benefit from standard scaffolding techniques most teachers do. He starts off a concept very easy and then moves to a very complex problem with no middle ground. I have a 4.0 and this semester this class is tanking it. The material is hard, so prepare with lots of youtubing. good luck

He's a good professor, runs through a lot of examples step by step in class, extremely fair homework assignments(7 in total), midterm and final were literally like a giant homework assignment, overall great class. Extremely accessible after class, literally emails back in 2 seconds. I will admit that his lectures are long and boring but its good.

Prof. Zhong knows the material well , however: 1) His lectures repeat the book. 2) It is hard to understand him. 3) No enthusiasm. 4) Unable to simplify complex concepts. 5) Proofs are convoluted and explanations are vague.

Took Professor Zhong for CMP 232, and overall he's an okay professor. The class is lecture heavy, which isn't bad... it can get a bit boring. But my biggest problem with him was his accent. He's a bit hard to understand, and the class is lecture HEAVY. He doesn't give out a lot of hw, but he does give a couple assignments(so far 6).
