Reviews of professor Jenny Zhang

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She has a lot of knowledge about accounting but can not teach at all. She should not be teaching this course. Gets mad if people don't understand and expects students to know stuff that has not been taught. Packs the slides with info and doesn't go over it all and rushes through things. Does not prepare you for assignments or tests.

She rushes a lot of the concepts and expects you to know a lot of things that she has not taught. She yells at the students when they don't know an answer and is very discouraging. Does not do a good job at teaching and is not helpful outside of class. I had to get a tutor because she was so bad. I would switch my prof if you have her.

Jenny made intro to accounting very manageable. She gets down to business and packs her lectures with information. Has a phd in accounting (it's noticeable). Overall really great prof, highly recommend

You'll receive a lot of handouts that make it easy to check your understanding. She posts the lectures online so attendance isn't mandatory but I'd recommend it because her lectures are extremely helpful. Dr. Zhang is a great professor and made the class fairly easy.

I am taking 1102, Managerial Accounting with her and she is a great teacher. All you have to do is go to class to succeed and she gives you exactly what will be on the exams before you take them so you can fully prepare. All the people giving poor reviews did that because the class is pretty much mandatory to go to.

Seems cold at first but actually cares about students learning. Powerpoints make the material easy to understand and review. The problems she works through in class show you exactly what you need to know for the weekly quizzes and group assignments.

The issue isn't with the teaching knowledge but with the exams. In one of her summer courses, over half the class received an F (median grade). The second time I took Accounting, I got A. Her final exam was filled with endless questions. Her expectations of us were too high. We're just students from Dalhousie, and not here to take the CPA or CFA
