Reviews of professor Dongli Zhang

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Please avoid this professor at all costs if you can. She does not clarify at all and speeds through her slides that make absolutely no sense. She is also rude to us when we don't somehow automatically know the answer to a question she hasn't taught us how to do in the first place. Treats us like we're pre-schoolers and teaches us like we're pros!

Overall solid professor. Very clear on what she expects on her quizzes and Midterm and Final. Plenty of chances to make up a bad grade on something. Thoroughly explained the topics in class so there was no confusion. If you are one of the few who participates, the class will be an easy A.

I completely disagree with the 2 below reviews. P. Zhang does an excellent job moving through slides while also allowing us to work through practice problems in class. I presume the two people below do not attempt to pay attention in class and were disappointed in their Exam results. The practice problems in the slides are what you see on the test.

Very kind lady, I like her very much. The lecture is straight forward. If you are good at math, you will be fine. Six quizzes (less than 10% each), two Midterms. No final! Participation is 10%. Midterm questions are similar to class practices. Use PPT, not textbook is needed because all the information related to the exams are in the slides.

Prof. Zhang usually only lectures for 35-55 minutes out of the 75 minute block. You'd do well to pay attention in lecture, as the quiz and test problems are copy and pasted with different numbers. Class can be a bit boring with minimal student involvement. Overall, I would recommend Zhang for OPBU 3438 due to how easy the class is.

Professor Zhang is extremely sweet. Took her Six Sigma course and it was extremely easy. There was very little work, only like 2-3 homework assignments, a group project, and the only exam was for the White Belt Certification which was super easy. No matter what you score on the WB exam, as long as you pass she gives you an A! Definitely recommend.

She reads off slides. Tests are kind of based off of slides but are difficult and are closed book/notes, so beware if you are not a good test taker. Isn't accommodating. Barely anyone pays attention and she gets frustrated when students don't understand the material when she does examples in class. Avoid this section

This is the most boring and pointless class at Fordham. Class is extremely slow, no one pays attention, and the tests are hard. Topics are unclear, and powerpoints are the only way to pass the test, although they aren't much help either. This class makes me miss zoom so much, avoid.
