Prof. Zhang is very helpful and patient to his student. He knows the material very well and loves to teach. He is very approachable so when you feel like you have a question or you need help in the class, you can always go and talk to him.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Had him for our WISCEL section and lectures. Although he does have an accent which can be hard to understand at times, he was really clear at answering my questions about the exercises. He's also very knowledgeable in related and advanced topics to the class.
