Reviews of professor Ying Zhou

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Awesome professor! As long as you pay attention in class, you'll pass. Homework is due once a week in two sections (WeBWork and txtbk), but it's relatively easy. Learning R was fun and labs were mostly left to students to do at their own pace. Exams are very fair. Highly recommend.

She is such a sweet professor. I took her for calc 161 and again for 162 because I loved the way she teaches. She is very clear about what she wants for exams and how she wants our answers. She takes the time to make sure you understand and if you go to her office hours she will help you tremendously. Her exams are hard, I will not lie.

I took 161, and she was a good teacher, went over all homework you asked about, had periodic and good quizzes, and had tests covering what you learned and not random things. She was very organized and had a plan.

Joy is a joy to have. She created a collaborative environment where everyone felt comfortable asking questions and joking around. Exams were a bit hard and people sometimes had to stay after class to finish, but she is great about giving partial credit. She really cares about her students and treats them like people.

Joy is a great professor who obviously cares about her students and the subject she teaches. She's a very tough grader so it's a very hard A but if you do your work and study hard for the test there's no reason you can't get a B

She is an all-around fantastic professor. She really cares about her students, wants everyone to succeed, and is super fair. As long as you put in the effort, you will be successful. You will learn a lot, and your grade may not be an easy A, but it'll reflect the thought process of a fair professor.
