Reviews of professor Zhifo Guo

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had him for Organic Chemistry II lab. He has a very thick accent and does not explain the lab very well. Students and TA did not know what to do in lab and when someone asked him a question in lab he would give no explanation. Also, during lab he would walk out and wait in the hall for a period of time. Very poor on email communication.

He's an "okay" professor. When it came to explaining how the lab would go there was constant confusion among us students because he would say one thing and the manual said another or switch up things at the last minute. Had to ask for a rubric because he did not explain how the lab report should be and how points were distributed.

This man has a Very thick oriental accent, but he teaches the class like the students should already know the material. He only reads the PowerPoint and the PowerPoint ONLY. Also, don't expect him to break anything down and explain it to you if you don't understand it.

This was a chem lab and fairly easy. His accent is thick and is sometimes hard to understand. You will do well in this class if you be prepared before class. You will also have to teach yourself some stuff outside of the class but overall easy as long as you're there. You won't pass if you don't come to lab. Lab and lecture grades are separate.

Guo was an okay professor. Had him for chem lecture. He reads off powerpoints and will stop to answer any questions students might have. Grade is split into three exams, final, and homework. The exams are similar to the practice he gives out. Accent is heavy. Sometimes gets frustrated. There might be extra credit. PP uses examples from textbook.

Heavy language barrier and expects you to come to class already knowing what to do. An easy grader and labs are self explanatory. Made an A but it wasnt because he was a great teacher.

I understood chemistry lab more than chemistry lecture. There is a heavy language barrier. I got into it with him every time he came to class. He moved fast, skipped slides, expected up to know what he was teacher. He was teaching us like we were chemist majors. Majority of us was dental hygienist & cj majors. Run far away from him if you can!!!

Very difficult to understand teaching

His lectures are difficult to follow and halfway through the semester I stopped going to his class and instead started reading the textbook which helped my grade alot. Then he started giving extra credit for pop quizzes. He also gives alot of hw and often makes it due before hes finished going over the chapter. He even makes hw due the day of test

Hes hard to understand when he lectures but the labs explain what you need to know. Show up to class and do your work and youll pass.
