Reviews of professor Wei Zhu

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She knows a lot about what she's talking about, though this can sometimes be a curse as well as a blessing. She makes very detailed presentations, which while informative, also give a lot of information to remember. Her tests are very difficult, even as open notes tests. She was only a little communicative after the switch to remote learning.

By far the worst professor I've ever had in my college career. Does not care about your life outside of school, for example our class was an hour and fifteen minutes and her midterm exam took over 3 hours to complete. Attendance is required but it's almost useless to go as she provides nothing that could benefit you on tests.

The final was 45% of the total grade (midterm was 35%, homework was 20%), so that was intimidating, but Wei was great. His lectures were almost straight from the book, but he really wanted us to do well in class and tried to make office hours accessible. Plus, his emails were really funny! He's a genius, and super fun and friendly!

She is very obviously buoyed by her deep insights: her lectures are very enlightening, and she supplements them with lovingly crafted PowerPoints (which are available on Blackboard as notes). She cares very much, and she wants to see all her students succeed. Ask any and all questions, and use her office hours. Listen closely: she speaks softly.
