Reviews of professor Zhang Wei

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The homework assignments are the biggest assignments ive ever had. We have a discussion period meant for questions on the chapter he reviewed the previous week, but he refuses to answer questions and instead asks you to go to his office hours. Also, if you get 80%s, on homeworks, dont expect it to transfer to the tests.

Took orgo 1 with him, reads off lecture slides. Lecture slides have had a few mistakes in them so I would rely on the book more. Based on 3 exams (1dropped), a final, and the HW, quizzes, and discussion are worth a little more than 1 exam combined. Do well on the 1st 2 exams, his last exam is super hard. Quiz averages are like 2/5.

This is a teach yourself course. It's a shame that he's apparently the easier professor to take orgo with at UMB. So basically, if you take orgo, be prepared to teach yourself with the lecture slides and book, because he does not actually want to teach. Rushes through material and tells you that you should know it. Quizzes every other class

This class is hell. This teacher outright refuses to answer questions on the homework claiming "I'm not doing your homework for you get a tutor". I put around 15 plus hours of work a week into the class. Professor Torok is worse so Zhang is your best bet. Good luck. Do what you have to do. Doing the homework with the slides is the only way to learn
