Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
Professor Zhao is the sweetest professor you will ever have here at UW. She is passionate about her teaching and wanted us to succeed and do well more than anything else. Workload is definitely high,but they are super useful and interesting. She gave us so many extensions and extra credit which lightened the workload. You will not regret taking her
