Reviews of professor Lina Zhou

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! She is tough to understand, and lectures are incredibly underwhelming. I had covid and could not take a test in person, and she made me jump through so many hoops to prove to her that I was actually sick. She does not care about her students at all.

The labs are interesting. The professor used good examples when teaching.

I was pleasantly surprised by Dr Zhou. She cares about her students. I recommend looking at her slides before class and watching a youtube video to prepare (I like StatQuest personally). This allowed me to participate more in class as I wasn't struggling to understand the basics. Be ready to go deep with the calculations.

Professor Zhou makes this course unnecessarily difficult. Most of her lectures have little to no relation to the homework. The software used in this class is SAS Enterprise. She has hardly used in class time to teach us how to use it. Video lectures for reference at home are difficult to follow. Do not take this course with her.

Professor Zhou is very test heavy and if you do not do well you will not succeed. That being said, the exams are all on lockdown browser in class, I would avoid at all cost.
