Reviews of professor Dongli Zhang

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Reviews things once in class and then expects you to know it from there. She isn't very open to clarifying or answering questions, she gets frustrated when the class is confused on anything. Exams are "fair" but a lot of this course will have to be self taught when studying which can be difficult for a lot of the students.

While I agree that the class as a whole is somewhat dull, I don't believe this is the fault of the professor. She's a good choice for this class, especially since it's mandatory for GSB, and other options aren't great. Just go over PowerPoints and do the hw, you should be fine. Material can be a bit boring but she does the best she can with it

I don't recommend this professor. She is very unclear on what she expects from you on quizzes. The practice homework does not relate to the questions she gives on the quizzes. Only good thing is that there is no mandatory homework.

I disagree with the previous reviewer. Avoid this class. She simply reads off slides with little information which are very dull. Doesn't explain concepts well you have to teach them yourself. Prof Zhang make the class difficult because she's not a good professor. The tests are kind of based on in class practice problems but are more difficult.

Professor Zhang is kind and cares about her students. Material is difficult sometimes, and her accent can be hard to understand. I would still suggest you take her because she gives plenty of other opportunities to do well and if you put in effort should get a decent grade.
