Reviews of professor Baoyi Zhou

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is hard to understand as there is a language barrier. The entire class is situated on cengage, and is difficult to succeed in without prior knowledge of the material. Like all other courses get prepared to teach yourself.

I'm going to be honest if you just want a math class you can skim by take her all she does is read straight from the book and hardly ask questions she just talks almost the whole time. For my class (math 99) she took us to the computer lab to take the test on the web assign so if you want you can cheat on them because she does not walk around.

Professor Zhou is very nice and easy going. The lecture is pretty easy to get a hang of and she posts the lecture as well. She grants extensions if you ask but obviously don't overdo it. She gives quizzes right before exams that are very similar to the exams, which are helpful. If you pass the quizzes, you'll pass the exams.

I couldn't follow any of the lectures and had to just read the textbook instead or find videos online to explain the concepts. The tests are very heavy. ~20 questions on quizzes, ~30 on tests, and ~45 on the final.

I think when I had taken this class, she was a newer teacher. Very nice and approachable. She really knows her stuff and is willing to take the time to explain. I would say that as a newer teacher, she may not have had a good flow of class time /lecture yet and it showed. Other than that, I'd say she was good.

Clear lectures that helped you understand concept and application of material. Decient amount of homework, but also served as material to help perform well on tests.

Her classes are very easy, because her explanation is very simple. We have homework every week according to the chapter we learn. And the best part is that we have a quiz for the exam, which helps a lot. If I had to take another class with her I would gladly do it.

Professor Zhou is awesome. She is very chill, usually she posts practice tests before all the actual exams. If u go thru the practice at least once and make sure u can do all the questions, u will do fine in the exams as well. Homework is also posted early so people can start early on them as well. She is a solid 9/10 in my books as a professor.

For Context, I took this class over 8 weeks online over Zoom. She was really hard to understand, I think it was a combination of a bad microphone and internet as well as her accent. I think if the class was in person it would be better. She also did not follow the syllabus. If you have any questions she will answer them and it really nice.
