Nice professor. Contents are well–organized and explanation are clear.
Couldn't ask for more in a professor. Explained everything you needed to know, and the homework and exams weren't too bad.
He is always caring for students and willing to help them. Exams are somewhat difficult but he offers bonus points as long as you would like to put efforts.
Dr. Zhou is super accessible outside of class in office hours. His midterm extra credit is helpful, and his in depth study guides make sure students know the general flavor of exams. He will never give you a problem you have seen before on an exam, but with studying, they are certainly do-able.
its a really hard class but prof zhou is super understanding, is willing to help you understand the material, and is very accessible outside of lectures. he also offered extra credit opportunities for the midterms by doing reflections and presentations.
The lectures were clear and engaging, significantly enhancing my comprehension of the material. Additionally, Prof Zhou's generosity with extra credit opportunities reflected a sincere commitment to student success.
very sweet lady and the exams are the same as the practice but DO NOT take her if youre taking a series class. it WILL backfire because she doesn't teach at all. her notes are also plagiarized from Viktor Grigoryan's textbook specifically for this course and she just writes them on the board word for word with minimal explanations.
Excellent teaching. Patient and welcoming to students' questions, and explain concepts in detail. He motivates students to really understand the concepts instead of memorizing them. These negative comments are only due to the difficulty of his exam, but he made it clear from the start that there won't be repetitive questions. Will take again.
Excellent in teaching. Patient, welcoming students' questions, and put efforts in lectures to explain concepts in detail. He motivates students to really understand the concepts instead of memorizing them. Negative comments are only due to the difficulty of his exam, but he made it clear from the start that there won't be any repetitive questions.
His low reviews are just people who have low grades. Yes his exams are difficult and he actually grades your homework on accuracy but you get what you put into the class. Prof Zhou is amazing and I would take his class if the opportunity ever arises again.
Really accessible after class and kind, you can always attend his OH, and he's willing to help. You can get bonus points for midterms by presenting in class or in OH. Lectures make the textbook more understandable.
Very kind, Very organized, and Very engaging professor. He puts great effort into making the class interactive and accessible to students from diverse backgrounds. I gained a lot and feel inspired to continue with the linear algebra series, hoping to have him as my instructor again. I highly recommend this professor to other students!
This is my first upper course. I worried about failing this course but prof Zhou asked us to focus on learning fundamental. In the end, he curved generously. 59% of weight grades get C.
This class was really tough for me, but Professor Zhou did an amazing job explaining all the complicated terms and was super generous with grading. Plus, he is such a kind person that I never felt nervous about asking “silly” questions about basic math stuff during office hours. Hard class, but an awesome professor!
Honestly nothing to complain about. You're expected to know lecture + textbook content and that's what's on the exams. Exams consistently averaged 50-60% but curved GENEROUSLY at the end.
Well-organized lectures and clear explanations. Give make-up points for midterms. Put efforts and time to help students understand course materials.
The course was well, I wish it wasn't an 8am
Pretty clear on grading, offers a couple bonus points on exams. Practice exam and hw is almost identical to real exam-allows full page cheat sheet. I'm not the best at math but I've done just fine in the class so far. Drops lowest two hw scores and also bumps your grade for attending section. Does not curve exams however. Is fair, just put in work
The professor adhered closely to the textbook but presented the material in a way that never felt like he was simply reading from it. He constantly provided examples, highlighted connections between concepts, and posed questions to deepen our understanding of the material.

I thoroughly enjoyed his class, especially the engaging step-by-step teaching style and the helpful class materials that really supported my learning. Bohan's courses have deepened my understanding of mathematical proofs.
It took me a bit to get used to his lecture style. But he keeps a good pace and makes sure his notes are really clear. He's probably the most understanding and supportive prof I've had in the math department. He gives lots of chances to ask questions in class, and if you do, he'll take the time to explain things.
Explained all concepts very thoroughly, and gave practice materials that prepped you very much for the exams.
Did not give clear responses to a lot of relevant questions. Focused mainly on teaching formulas as opposed to building actual understanding of vector calculus (you might or might not prefer this). Tests were EXACTLY like the practice tests, drawback is that there's 0 partial credit.
