Reviews of professor Haiyan Zhang

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Reads off power points and gives specific examples in class. Very knowledgeable about subject. Office hours don't help a lot. Tests are hard. A lot of content to know for tests, but only 40 multiple choice is actually on the test. You have to work on your own for the grade. Overall, good teacher, just a hard course.

Haiyan is awesome. She gives short simple assignments and chapter quizzes each week that you get 3 tries on. Only tests are a midterm and the final, which were a little tough but not impossible.

She teaches classes very well but you must read the textbook to get a hang of everything. She also has few tests so if you do skip just make sure you are catching up.

Dr. Zhang means the best. It is difficult to understand her sometimes. She goes over the notes and gives you a study guide, but it is so vague like god bless ya trying to study that. I would try and take it with someone else.

It's a lecture so obviously can get pretty boring but she's super sweet and explains things well. There are TAs availible if you need them, extra credit assignments and review sessions before each test.

Pay attention to the lectures, and you will do fine on the tests. Every class is a lecture and although they can be a bit dry, they are easy to understand. She assigns readings for homework but they are not mandatory. Worst thing you can do is not show up to class. She also offers easy extra credit opportunities.

Very sweet professor, but way too soft spoken. Hard to stay awake in her class. Gives no exams but weekly chapter assignments due at the end of every week. Attendance is taken randomly. Take her if you want an easy A without having to pay attention in class.

Don't let the 101 fool you. THIS CLASS IS HARD! The grading is solely based on 4 exams ( lowest grade is dropped ) and a final. This is the class that you have to actually read the textbook to do good in, blend the textbook into a smoothie, soak it up by osmosis. TEXTBOOK, TEXTBOOK, TEXTBOOK!!! Half of what is on the exams is from the textbook.

This class was really boring and hard to pay attention in but she really knows her stuff! There are only 3-4 test grades in for your grade so you need to study!!

Child Psych with Prof Zhang was once a week from 4:20-6:50 so it was a grueling and long class as she talks kind of slow, but she is very sweet and just wants us to learn and take away as much as we can. As long as you read the textbook, take the pre and after lecture quizzes, and the 3 reflective blogs, you'll pass easily.
