Reviews of professor Zhun Liu

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Zhun is one of the best finance professors at UCF. He truly cares about his students and wants them to learn. His course layout was straightforward and well-organized. His lectures were clear and interesting. Quizzes are simple. Exams aren't hard if you take notes and practice the math problems before. Offers some extra-credit to help.

Had this professor for a semester during COVID, and he was such an accommodating and understanding guy. Overall such a kind and passionate professor. Cares not only to teach his students but actually cares about his students. Take him! He's the best! Wish more professors were like him.

He was poorly prepared to teach. Constantly blamed everything on a lack of TAs and the pandemic. Made free responses overly difficult and didn't give us enough time. If only he stuck with multiple choice tests.

Professor Liu is extremely smart and very caring about his students, but he is not the best at explaining difficult concepts. He's very nice, but I don't know if I would take him for another class

This was his first semester teaching at UCF so he was a bit unorganized but i've never had a professor who genuinely cared more about his students than Zhun. He truly wants you to do well academically and in life. I got As on every exam by studying his practice sets for the math portion and his quizzes for the conceptual questions. Highly recommend

One of the nicest professors at UCF. If you go through the lectures, practice questions, and quizzes, you should do well. You don't need the textbook - most of the content are in his ppts. The final is hard so definitely do not slack on that. The group project can be annoying if your group members suck. Overall, Zhun is very reasonable and caring.

He cares about his students and understands everyone has other things going on. He makes you give him your best, but not because he forces it, you sort of feel like you owe it to him. The class is not the easiest, and you do need to study for it. Definitely don't skip class if you can.

Phenomenal professor. Taking his again next semester for Portfolio. Approachable outside of class. Midterms are easy, final is hard, big group project (teammates assigned algorithmically) and quizzes are easy. He gives multiple extra credit opportunities. Use lectures notes, practices problems and quizzes to prepare for exams. Highly recommend Liu!

Take his classes. super smart, super caring, and always availible. My favorite professor in all my time at UCF. Changed my schedule around just to have him, hes a generous grader and will make dry content very digestible. seriously, he is amazing, take his classes and have a coffee with him in office hours.
