Reviews of professor Zachary Rowan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
10/10 would recommend. He is a very good lecturer and funny guy. Nice slides and explains things in depth in a way that is easy to understand. Decent amount of readings, and Weekly open-book quizzes are a great grade booster. Tutorials were fun and TA's marked very fairly.

Provides clear explanations and informative lectures. However, lots of reading from the textbook is required if you want to do well on the quizzes. Grading is a bit tough, but be ready to provide detailed responses for 2 mini  papers and 1 final paper. For the final exams, just review his lecture slides and you should be fine.

Great prof but what he says in lecture is also on the slides. Weekly quizzes, 2 mini-papers, 1 final paper, and a final exam. TA's mark fairly and a final exam review was given beforehand. This course does not require a lot of your time but some of the weekly readings are lengthy. Overall would recommend him as a CRIM101 prof.

I really enjoyed this class with Zach. He knew the content was dry, but he made the best of it, and he made the lecture enjoyable and easy to follow. His lectures basically the textbook said in more understandable terms and language, cuz the textbook is a pretty horrible read. Zach was awesome tho, wouldn't want to do this class with anyone else!

He's a good prof for a 100-level course. What he talks about in lecture is mainly from the slides but is good at answering questions and providing feedback. His course load is pretty fair: Theres weekly quizzes that go along with the assigned chapters + 2 mini papers and one final paper. There's also a final exam, but it was fairly easy.
