MATH4B . Zhang Q A Month Ago

A WONDERFUL Professor. She is very good at what she does, teaches very clearly, and ACTUALLY SHOWS EXAMPLES. Even though it was at 8 am, Zhang managed to teach things very clearly. Tests were very fair in my opinion, very similar to practice exam. Would take her again, I hope i get her for 6A.

MATH4B . Zhang Q 6 Months Ago

Literally the best professor ever. Lectures are extremely clear and tests are similar to class material. Very nice too.

MATH4B . Zhang Q 9 Months Ago

Zhang was great for 4B!! All lectures were recorded and notes were posted on Canvas. Practice tests were given for the midterms and final and were almost identical. Only went to class the first day and the testing days and got an A. 2 homework assignments a week but only 10 questions. Material is relatively easy but does a good job explaining.

MATH4B . Zhang Q 10 Months Ago

Her detailed notes and great lectures make the course material easy to understand, and the HW assignments directly relate to the lectures, making them manageable. Lectures are recorded, so attending lecture wasn't necessary and practice tests resemble actual tests, which are fair and easy. One of the best profs at UCSB and my favorite of all time.

MATH6A . Zhang Q A Month Ago

Prof Zhang has fairly easy tests, reasonable HW, no quizzes, accessible Office Hrs, and availability on email regarding HW questions. Her handwriting is very clear which is rare now somehow. I would say she teaches 6a the intended way which was supposed to not be difficult. Only downside is that the final is 40% of the grade so beware.
