The GOAT. Attendance isn't mandatory and everything was online/ take home. This class IS a guaranteed A. Lectrues were a bit fast-paced, but he was happy to answer any questions that students had. TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM!!!1116 2026-04-07 20:16:33 +0000 UTC
40% final 30% midterm but both are take home. No attendance required, which is sad bc only 10 people would show up. A bit backloaded but a fun class, good content and good professor. Fair grader.4640 2025-12-17 02:11:53 +0000 UTC
Easy A dont sleep on him1126 2025-12-11 01:50:00 +0000 UTC
First time teaching so he was def learning how to teach the class. I enjoyed his lectures as he was passionate about the course, but a lot of people found it boring. Class was very easy with the take home tests.1116 2026-02-10 22:13:20 +0000 UTC
Such an easy A, don't ever go to class... take home midterm and final. All the homework's and quizzes are also online. The TA literally says it's impossible to get less than 80 on the assignments/midterm/final as long as you complete it, as well as impossible to get less than 50% on any problem even if you are completely wrong. Such an easy A.1126 2025-12-10 16:46:23 +0000 UTC
His classes were lecture dense and not very engaging. However, everything in this course is take home, so it's not a hard class as long as you complete all the assignments online.1116 2026-01-08 18:27:56 +0000 UTC
Easy A, take home midterm AND final, it's so free1126 2025-12-08 16:30:25 +0000 UTC
He's knowledgeable in his field, but his lectures can sometimes be repetitive and also fast-paced. Everything in the course was take-home (including midterm and final) so it's basically a guarenteed A in his class. As long as you complete all assignments, quizzes, and tests, you'll do good.1116 2025-12-17 06:33:57 +0000 UTC

Absolute gem of a Professor. Attendance isn't mandatory, all assignments including the Midterm and Final are administered online. Easy A for every freshman taking this course with him.1126 2025-11-25 03:05:31 +0000 UTC

take it. surface level lectures and speech pattern that will put you to sleep. But trust me, take it.1126 2025-11-20 17:33:59 +0000 UTC
Everything in this class is take home, including both the midterm and final, so it is a pretty light class in terms of work. Prof. Zhou gives interesting lectures as well, so if you are interested in the material, going to class is nice. Attendance is not mandatory as well, so if you don't like the material, you dont have to show up1116 2025-12-13 18:01:58 +0000 UTC
