Prof. Zhao is the best MIS professor at Northeastern. The class is a free A-, but to get an A you are going to have to do well on the tests. Beware that the grade is not determined on percentage, but your classmates (10% of the class gets an A, 40% gets A-). The tests are open notes and he is a very easy grader with the case studies.mism2301 2023-06-30 01:13:16 +0000 UTC
Professor Zhao is an extremely nice and caring person. He is incredibly smart and is very passionate about his profession. Overall MISM is not a great class, but if you take it with him you will be happy. Yes, there are pop quizzes, but he is understanding and allows make-ups. We learned visualization tools like Tableau which is helpful for Co-Op.mism2301 2023-06-21 13:29:57 +0000 UTC
Professor Zhao is difficult to understand and his lectures are near impossible to follow along with. Grades consist of open-note tests, diagnostic quizzes, and several straightforward case studies (permanent groups are assigned at the beginning of the semester). If you want an easy A, take his class, but if you want to learn, I don't recommend him.mism2301 2023-06-11 05:31:43 +0000 UTC
If you're someone who values organization, don't take this professor. He gave pop quizzes and only told us if we had a test a week before. Basically, we had no idea when anything was due. The lectures are very dull and he speaks quietly. Seems like a nice guy and the tests were open note, but overall frustrating and ineffective teaching style.mism2301 2023-04-12 16:07:26 +0000 UTC
Prof Zhao's class was super easy and didn't really require any studying, however his lectures are super super boring and you can barely hear him most of the time, other than that he's super kind and chill personmism2301 2022-12-02 17:49:18 +0000 UTC
Easy class, you don't have to do much work, and all the quizzes and tests are pretty easy.mism2301 2022-11-24 03:10:12 +0000 UTC
Prof.Zhao is a really kind professor. If you have questions in class just go to ask him, he will be very patient to answer. No attendance requirement, but if you listen carefully every class, you can definitely learn much new and useful knowledge.mism2301 2022-04-26 01:01:54 +0000 UTC
