Reviews of professor Jing Zhang

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
BIOC 401 is a very difficult class, but Dr. Zhang does her best to explain the material. The exams are very difficult, but the grading is scaled so that it isn't as difficult to get a good grade (an 86 is an A-). Dr. Zhang is very understanding of extenuating circumstances and is a very kind person. Clickers are used so attendance is mandatory.

Grade is based on 4 exams, 9 (impossible) quizzes, and minimal clicker points. The quizzes are open note/open book, but it won't help because half of the content isn't in either. She also goes through a chapter per class and exams are usually over 5-6 chapters, so you don't have much time with the material and there is a ton covered per exam.

I really appreciate how straightforward and to the point she is. This is a very difficult coarse and moves very fast, but all her lectures are recorded and she has the slides posted on canvas well before class. She is very understanding of special situations so long as you communicate with her.
