6BH . Zhang Liming 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

Professor Zhang has a very rigorous manner towards research. He is very caring and wants everyone to succeed. Those who try get an easy A without hard work does not deserve to be in his class. As fas as I know, he also gives final exam that is very similar to HW.

CHEM132 . Zhang Liming 3 Years Ago

He also taught chem 132 in organometallics sometimes. It was a very useful class and you have to expect to learn a lot of complicated theories. The exams were derivatives of the homework and lectures. Overall it was not hard if you have a strong background in organic chemistry.

CHEM109C . Zhang Liming 3 Years Ago

Lectures based directly on notes taken from Bruice, doesn't go in much detail. Mandatory lecture only on F (M,W free). No midterm, but quiz for each chapter given each week. Really long and tedious final though (68 MC, 21 FRQ). Def use the Ochem book and answer book (especially during the final)!! The problems from Mastering are all taken from it!

CHEM109C . Zhang Liming 3 Years Ago

This class was one of the hardest classes yet especially with it being remote. The structure and way this class was taught was god awful and created lot of stress and confusion. He expected students to self teach a whole chapter before lecture while also completing homework from the previous chapter. Lots of miscommunication and self teaching.

CHEM109C . Zhang Liming 4 Years Ago

I just started taking him for 109C this quarter, but I 100% do not recommend him. He is definitely the worst ochem professor I have had - his lectures are ridiculously unhelpful and he gives unreasonable amounts of mastering chemistry homework. You'll end up studying on your own entirely. If you can, stay away from his class!

CHEM109AH . Zhang Liming 4 Years Ago

liming is a nice guy. He tried to help us learn better by holding weekly review session and lots of office hours. However, his lecturing is not very clear and you need to depend on the textbook and notes he posted to learn the material again by yourself. His exam is okay and he will cover some of them in the review session.
