This class was much easier to understand thanks to Dr. Zhou because she is very capable of explaining the subjects so that they actually make sense. The class topic sequences make sense and she explains everything to its fullest, and answers questions in lecture.Rate My Professors ↗
Great teacher, super supportive, and very kind. Actually goes over problems step by step in lecture so that you know how to solve them instead of leaving it up to yourself to learn. 103 felt easy and fun with her teaching it!Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. Zhou was such an incredible professor, her lectures are so engaging and as someone who tends to daydream during lectures I was super focused. She explained things super clearly and was willing to clarify for anyone who didn't understand. You can tell she totally loves chemistry, and she is so funny too. Her lectures are just the best!Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. Zhou is a very understanding and accommodating professor who clearly enjoys teaching Chemistry. As long as you put in the work (a lot of work), you will do fine!Rate My Professors ↗
Jia is one of the better Chemistry teachers out of the bunch. Sometimes it can be hard to follow along, but it is easier to understand in discussion sections. She's always open to questions and tries her hardest to teach a rough subject.Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. Zhou is a great professor, she makes the lectures more entertaining and obvious that she has a serious passion for chemistry!Rate My Professors ↗
