Reviews of professor Zhiwei Zhu

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Good professor who seems to genuinely care about students and their learning. Weekly homework assignments on McGraw-Hill Connect and two group projects. I feel like I left the class feeling like I learned something, which is something I previously hadn't felt with prior data classes.

For the majority of lectures he will break you into groups to work on an exercise. I really respect Zhu and you can tell he wants us to be successful. The course uses Connect, so the homework is all automatically graded. Knows what he is talking about and will apply it to real-life business scenarios often

Felt inclined to write a review because there are none! Very good prof and the structure of the class works very well since its like a flipped classroom. Homework, quizzes, and tests are all easy if you read and understand the material. There's nothing tricky or nothing harder than the practice examples in class. 10/10.

Professor Zhu is an amazing professor! He was always accessible after class. He also cares about his students a lot. I really liked his teaching style which was a mix of both theoretical and practical class sessions. Most of the work was done through McGraw Hill. Homework, quizzes, etc. His grades were based on ranking and were fair.

Dr. Z isn't the BEST professor, but he understands the content very well and can explain it in very understandable ways. My success suggestions are to be very familiar with the key vocabulary (there's not too much of it) so you can understand class discussion, and also to focus on understanding RStudio (as opposed to going through motions.)

Prof Zhu is very caring, very responsible, and very easygoing. His lectures were informative, clear, but not so packed. He devoted much time to answering questions and guiding students. TBH he was one of the best professors I met here. Btw there are many codings in this course, so make sure to be prepared.

Really solid professor. Some lectures got dry but he connects what we're learning in class to how we'll use it in the real world. He did a good job at splitting class time between lectures and using SAS.

My main gripe is that the professor just gives participation/attendance at his "discretion". It doesn't make sense that I got 35/50 but other people who didnt turn up to class gets 45/50. He doesn't allow you to choose your own groups, and he asks the groups to grade each other. My classmates want to sabotage each other and graded my group 1/5

He is a very boring lecturer he takes the whole class to go through something that would take 15 minutes because he cares about little things like who has heard of the company Xfinity. His HW and quizzes and exams are just on mcgraw hill which are easier than normal however he does understand how to use mcgraw hill so a bunch of things went wrong.
