Reviews of professor Bin Zou

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This course is very challenging especially with no partial credit. His lectures were repetitive sometimes, long, and difficult to understand. The textbook helped a lot and I learned better from that on certain chapters. There is a curve on each test and the final grade so even if you fail an exam you can bounce back.

I would not recommend taking this class if you are not an Actuarial Science major. Others in that major have told me this is the hardest class they've ever taken. Coming from an Engineering major, its crazy how passing Engineering classes with A's is easier than getting above a 60 on all of the exams in this course. CHOOSE ANY OTHER COURSE!!!!

Dr. Zou was very inspirational and a brilliant professor. He would always give advice on ways to study and exam taking strategies. He would show multiple ways to do problems which was also helpful. To do well in the course you really have to put in the time to understanding rather then memorizing. Dr. Zou will teach you a lot if you actually try.

He has quizzes but will not tell you until he walks into class (sometimes late) and doesnt adjust the due time of the quiz for him being late Seems to get upset when people asks questions and then just tells them to just read the textbook and expects us to understand everything he does One of the toughest classes Ive taken as a STEM student
