love him #king

Professor Zhou is a very kind person, and I can tell he really wants his students to succeed. He lectures by doing problems on lecture notes. The class was easy and the practice tests provided were very helpful. I definitely recommend professor Zhou's class.

I had a hard time because I did not find his lectures engaging. However, he was willing to adjust his plan for the class in order to help us succeed. I think he was very kind but I would avoid taking his class in the future if I can.

I really appreciated the course's structure. The professor delivered detailed, clear lectures that made tough concepts manageable and provided a solid foundation for homework and exams. He was also highly accessible for help outside class.

I really did appreciate how kind Prof. Zhou was and how open he was to making changes to the course/exams in order to help the class succeed.

This class was so easy, practice exams were basically the tests given. Webwork hw was also so similar to the tests. Also get a cheatsheet and extra credit. The final avg was a 55%, but I thought it was insanely easy. The other people in class prob weren't trying tbh. Also lecture notes are posted, so don't even go. Easiest class I've taken here.

The professor gave us a really detailed guide for practice exams, including side-by-side comparisons between exam problems and WebWork, which was super helpful. Honestly, there was nothing to complain about. As an international student, I was shocked to see how many people still cheated during the exam, even we were allowed to use an A4 cheatsheet.

Worst professor I have had at UCSB. Extremely rude to students and wants you to fail. First midterm and final average were in the 50% range and he claimed that was ideal. DO NOT TAKE HIM.

class is graded on webwork, two midterms, & a final (best exam is weighed more, +10%). he listened to criticism, adding partial credit & offering points back after midterm 1. his practice exams were almost identical to the real ones + you can use a cheat sheet on all exams. clas tutorial groups were more helpful in explaining the material :/

Horrible lectures, and even worse exams. Simply does not teach material that is presented on exams. Do not take

Would not recommend. Confusing lectures and very difficult tests. Mean for final was 55% take porter

averages of 55% on a math 34B final is kinda insane. take porter

Prof shared an announcement after the final, saying ChatGPT found a high level of similarity between the practice exam and the final. AI Era 🤣

This course is not hard in general but the professor is not good at teaching.The course is graded off 20% webwork, 20% mid 1, 20% mid 2, 25% final, and max grade of your three exams 10%. There are no calculators allowed on exams and he gives very specific numbers but you are allowed a full page cheat sheet. I would not recommend this teacher.

- did not explain the answers he got on problems in class, often would just give the answer - quiet as hell despite being told to speak up - gave literally just the answer on the midterm practice solutions, AND the actual midterm was way harder. - hard to understand - bad handwriting - by far, in general, one of the worse professors here.

Really wish to continue the series taught by Prof. Zhou. Seems he is not teaching this quarter. He is my GOAT.

When I was looking into rate of my professor in grad school, I realized how much I appreciate Prof. Zhou. He always took the time to answer my questions until everything made sense. His constant encouragement and reminders not to doubt myself really boosted my confidence and kept me going on my path to grad school.

Everyone says 6B's kinda weird — most profs just speed-run vector calc and then randomly jump into series with zero connection. But honestly, Prof. Zhou made the class super chill and actually fun. His lectures were kinda slow sometimes, but I feel like I finally get vector calc now. Plus, the math activities were pretty entertaining

Just no. It's hard to learn stuff in her class.

NOT GOOD FOR UPPER DIV. Reading resources are inadequate and unhelpful in office hours. She used unpublished lecture notes as a textbook, which clearly have not been edited. She declined to provide additional texts until the last week of class, which were all written by her. Possibly just inexperienced.

His lectures do what lectures do except his class is so slow we end up not covering Fourier series like some of the past cohorts. His exams are easy but unoriginal and uncreative, they become merely a linear combination of regurgitating facts. The worst thing? Bro uses \overrightarrow{} (not even \vec{}!) to represent UNIT vectors. As a math prof.

I have no comment on the teaching because I did not attend any lectures but the material was so easy and the exams were really straightforward. Attendance was taken purely for extra credit and you could earn up to 8% of extra credit towards the final grade outside of attendance too. Seems like a very nice guy too.

Save yourself.

Doing the midterm reflections was a great chance to learn and hear different perspectives. It really helped create a supportive environment IMO.
