Reviews of professor Yong Zhang

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
As someone else said, several meetings were made with the department chair because of the inconsistent grading. While the study guides did provide most of the material on the test, the grading was so horribly inconsistent and specific that they don't even matter.

I really liked Professor Zhang. He's a good lecturer, very funny and engaging. This class isn't too difficult as his study guides are very similar to the exam and you can get all of the information from his slides. My class had a presentation component that I think could have had better instructions but other than that, he was very clear.

As a 4.0 student, avoid this class!! Idk if something has come up in this guy's life this year but my class did not experience the easy 5.0 rating that previous classes had. We have been meeting with the biology chair all semester long. Dr. Zhang will not meet with you to discuss work, is incredibly vague, and is inconsistent with his grading. Rip

Dr. Zhang is a great guy, he wants you to do well in this class. Very straight forward exams (3), one research article presentation(he will even give you a article if you need one) and a couple of in-class attendance points. Zhang is the man take this class!

Dr. Zhang is a great professor, and very honest. We had 3 exams, including the final (not cumulative), and a 5 minute presentation on a research paper. There are exam study guides, of which 90% or more will be on the exam. No book, all powerpoint. Pretty straightforward course. He loves to crack jokes, but when he is serious, it is obvious.
