Reviews of professor Michael Zheng

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Good professor. Extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the course material. Most of the work was group related and he's a very fair grader. Quizzes are easy as long as you pay attention. No midterm/final just a one page paper relating to course material. He responds to emails very quickly and is accessible outside of class.

Not too bad. He takes attendance before every class and it counts towards final grade. Homework due every week, but easy. Takes him if you can.

Prof Zheng honestly is not as bad as people make him out to be. He lectures heavy, but it's clear what you need to do in order to get an A in his class. He makes his grading system very clear, which is obtained through quizzes and papers. There are a few group projects. The work isnt hard, just do it. Really nice and passionate about science.

He can be understanding at times, but his lateness policy is pretty harsh. 4 tests, 4 quizzes, and 4 activities you need to complete. Assigns a lecture you need to watch in order to answer the discussion board. He says you don't need to know the info to take the class but you need to have some knowledge in quantum to even take the class.

A pretty harsh grader, lots of homework. Almost every class is a group assignment. Homework is a must and has a lot of weight for the course. His quizzes are really easy as long as you study. He responds quickly to emails. He is very passionate about the class.

Struggled to organize this class and was all over the place. Didn't teach anything clearly. Expects students to watch full 3 lecture videos online per week around 5 hours in total.

Prof. Zheng a G. The homeworks are easy. 5 questions. He will grade on accuracy or completion. Tests are easy too. He posts review questions, and all answers come from his presentations and the slides are posted on canvas. No reason for anyone to do bad unless you show zero effort. Genuinely interesting class, and learned a bit too. No midterm!

Professor is pretty caring and understanding, however the whole class is way too much. Be ready to have to sit through long boring classes at times. Does do some fun group work. Is a nice guy all in all. Your grade will be affected majorly by your attendance.

I cannot stress how entitled he became towards the end of the course. Unreasonably strict in things that didn't matter and would patronize students for asking questions he thought were "common knowledge". Crazy amount of hard math and his review sheets were nothing like the test. Final was 1 math question, 23 parts. Unrelentingly quiet in lecture.

Great professor. Makes learning about quantum mechanics interesting an easy to understand for those not familiar with the topic.
