CollegeLiterally the best professor ever. Lectures are extremely clear and tests are similar to class material. Very nice too.
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.
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.
Really really nice professor and she presents the information pretty clearly!!
Great professor, tests are almost exactly like the practice exams. Her lectures are solid and homework is manageable.
The best professor at providing clarity and teaching to exams and homework. I believe she is the best professor at this university and I would EXTREMELY recommend if you can take her class!
