Reviews of professor Juan Zou

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures were taken from book and summarized, but do additional math problems from book for practice!! Tests are half concept, half math problems and the math problems are a lard percentage of your grade. You may end up teaching yourself because she explains things oddly but go to office hours! She appreciates it and explains so much better

I was not doing good at the beginning since my math is not that good and a bit hard to understand lecture. I started to do better and better when I get used the way of how she teaches. I almost got a A if I did not miss a assignment. Three suggestions if you want to do well in her class: Go to class, Do homework and Ask if you have question.

If you don't mind teaching yourself then she's fine. However, she gives a lot of quizzes and grades very strict. If you don't have a basic understanding of chemistry I would not recommend taking her. Attendance is mandatory or she'll drop you from the class and she's not much help outside of class. If you do take her GET THE TEXTBOOK!!!!

CHEM 1211 is a difficult class, but Dr. Zou makes it as easy as possible. Her lectures sometimes have mistakes in it and it can be difficult to understand due to her thick accent, but her exams are very straight forward. As long as you know the material and know everything on the study guide she gives, youll do well.

I believe this was her first year teaching so I understand how difficult it was to be able to understand what works and doesn't work for the class. My biggest advice for this class is to read up and study yourself because the way she explains stuff is way harder than it needs to be. Also, her accent was difficult to understand at first.
