He is a really good professor and he want to make sure that everyone get the class materials correct .As long as you read and understand class materials you will do just fine in this course.

Dr. Zhu really cares about his student's success. I took Microbiology with him and it was tricky, but he gives you opportunities to raise your grade. I really enjoyed his lectures.

Has a very hard to understand accent which leaves you having to teach yourself the own material. All quizzes and exams are a combination of lab AND lecture material, even though he says it's not. Makes you know little details for the exam, that is barely covered. Blames students for not knowing the material even though he doesn't teach very well.

Zhu cares a lot about his students and offered lot of extra credit to help students raise there grade. Test are very easy if you know the PowerPoints and attend lectures. Highly recommend taking it with him!!! He is very sweet and has a true love for teaching!!

Dr. Zhu is one of the sweetest professors ever that really cares about his students doing well. With that being said, he will not just give you a good grade, he is very clear that you have to earn it. Be prepared to do a lot of studying outside of class, but if you know his lecture slides you know his test. Didn't open the book once and got an A.

The class average on his first exam was a 52 percent and he basically flat out told us to study harder. He also creates his own study guides for exams but told us not to trust his own study guide he creates for the exams because half of what it covers wont even be on exam! take it with any other professor if possible.

Dr Zhu really knows his stuff and cares about his students. be prepared to read after lectures to solidify the info you learn in this class if you want a really good grade. he also gives opportunities for extra credit which helps students a lot. I would take him for other classes if I could.

A lot of information is on the exams. Usually about 160 slides of content for one exam. Kind of hard to understand and lecture can get boring. Sometimes gives extra credit on exams and sometimes posts study guides but those are just what to know which is basically all the content.

He is an awful teacher! You are left to teach yourself and you must study/know everything. Going to lecture is pointless because all he does is read off the slides. If you can take this class with anyone else DO IT!!!!

All he does is lecture and say "you need to know this" for every slide. This was the worst professor I have ever had. When it came to taking our first exam, he told the class he rushed making it. Then, he interrupted us every 5-10 minutes because of how many mistakes he was finding. Take this class with literally anyone else because this ain't it.
