He just started out, so he didn't get a chance to prepare his own powerpoint slides. But I am sure that he will be a much better teacher next semester. He is always willing to help his students.

Zhu is really good. He definitely knows his stuff. If you show up to class every time and pay attention, the homework is really easy. His tests are straight forward and just like the quiz. He encourages class participation which is really nice. I really enjoyed the class.

He's still new to teaching the course, so he's trying to find his groove. He's a nice guy, but goes extremely slow in class. Sometimes, he spends too much time concentrating on the stuff that's easy to grasp and not enough time on the more difficult stuff. He also takes a long time to get stuff graded, but he may just be a busy person.

He is not very good teacher and not very bad, in between. sometimes confusing and sometimes clear??

Zhu was awesome. whenever I needed help he told me to come in and broke it down for me where I was able to understand. Make sure that your are in class. He does the examples and reviews for the test. Zhu is very funny, "you'll see" I would recommand taking this professor. Great instructor!

Professor Zhu is NOT as bad as people are describing him to be. This class takes a lot of independent studying time and if you can't do it, don't take it! He has a thick accent but it didn't affect my ability to understand the material. He is very willing to help and also very fair in grading and gives partial credit. I would recommend taking him.

I would say zhu is a very good professor because he actually worries if you understand the materials. He can be very nice because he wants you to make high grades, he gives partial credit to whatever he can, sometimes it is not what the problem asks for, but if it makes sense he will understand that you tried. He also points out mistakes on labs

Love this professor. Had him for 3 classes. He has passion for Chem & he really cares about his you and will call you out if you miss his class. Invites the class to joke around with him. He is very positive. He only had difficulty with two words, delta & unknown. He worked very hard to correct this & progressed. Among the top 1% of my 55 profs.

Professor usually goes out of his way to make sure the students receive a good grade. He will make sure he can answer any questions you might have about anything. Good sense of humor. Tells what will be on tests. Doesn't ALWAYS get back to e-mails, but usually does, and it's usually in a timely manner. Accent not too hard to understand.

Dr. Zhu requires some getting used to. He sends out his .ppts before class, and test reviews but sometimes not until the same day as lecture. I didn't do the HW, but read every chapter and did his review tests. Be adv he uses online quizzes that take on abt 4hrs to complete. He won't tell you the last few grades, so it's hard to est needed grades.

If class is hard, it's only because of the nature of the class; don't blame a professor for it. He is as good as a professor as any other good chemistry professors, if not better. If you have difficulty with his class, I'm sure you will with anyone else that you might switch to. He really cares about his students' success.

Do not take the Organic Chem Lab class at OCCC (This is for students aiming at A grades) b/c: 1> You?re required to write lengthy detailed conclusions for every single lab experiment (of the 23 total), besides lengthy lab experiments in class (normal) & spectra analysis homeworks (normal; but...) 2> IR analysis homeworks take up ...

Zhu is a very nice teacher. He may have an accent, but it's understandable. It does not take much effort to actually listen to him. He WANTS you to know what is going on. He WANTS you to do well in his class. I made an A in this course. Tests are easy if you study. I only had to study about an hour for each exam. The quizes are online.

Zhu is a great teacher for CHEM 1115. He really wants his students to understand the material and does his best at not allowing his accent to interfere. Before I had him, many friends said that his accent was incomprehensible, but I and my peers can understand him clearly. The key to succeed in his class is to pay attention and take notes!!

best professor at occc. hes friendly and willing you work with you, if you miss a class you can attend another section to catch up with lecture. tests are cake, but attending class is a must. hardest thing in the class is the masteringchemistry.

Professor Zhu is a great teacher, he is funny and helpful. His exams can be difficult depending on the unit, but he gives a lot of bonus points, and is fairly easy on grading. I enjoyed his class very much! Would take another class with him if I had the chance!

Loved his class. Was a breeze. The accent took some getting used to but it is sooo adorable and keeps the class entertaining!

Great teacher overall! He is dedicated to making sure you learn the subject! Great teacher overall! If you're majoring in math or science then take him, if not, then he is not the teacher for you.

Professor Zhu is an awesome professor. He does have an accent, but he teaches his lectures well. He offers extra credit in the course and even on the test. He makes review for the tests, and it is really helpful on the test! Also easy to talk to if there are any questions. Great professor!

My first semester in college and this has to be my easiest class. It could be because I took high school chemistry, but I think it was because he was a good teacher. He does have an accent to him, so be prepared to learn some new ways of saying words. He shows us how to do it and then looks at our faces and he can tell when we're confused or not.

Zhu was a great teacher! His accent is easy to understand, but he's constantly asking for clarification on whether we can understand him - we can. He always has tons of review material available and he gives plenty of time to take tests, occasionally making them easier. Do the homework and you'll be prepared for the tests.

I love his way of lecturing and caring

He is the best chemistry professor ever. he understands you and does not mind taking his time to explain to you. he extends his test dates for people who missed it or couldn't make it. i love his class and would take him for any other chemistry class i would ever take at occc.

his lectures are boring and long. but he is very helpful during his office hours and he has a lot of office hours. His tests are not too hard. take him if you do not want to struggle a lot with chemistry and if you just have to take chemistry but you won't use it ever...

His accent can sometimes be a little bit of a problem for some. I personally didn't have that hard of a time understanding him but others did. He gives partial credit for problems on tests that you get mostly right. Like, if you made a calculator error he will give you some points. I don't think he takes attendance. only hw are the online quizzes

He is a great professor, and he's very funny. He uses analogies to explain the harder to understand topics. I would definitely take his class again.

Has a strong accent but nothing you can't handle. Super easy class but you have to attend every lecture and dedicate a lot of time.

Great professor, he makes sure you are ready for his test if you take the time to print off and study the practice questions and attend all his lectures. You will have a good idea of what will be on the test. test account for almost 80% of your grade in Chem I.

HANDS DOWN BEST PROFESSOR. I LEARN SO MUCH. SEMESTER JUST STARTED AND I KNOW I AM GETTING AN A IN THIS CLASS.

Took Dr Zhu for chem II lab and he was great! Pre lab was very informative and we knew exactly what we had to do when we went over to the laboratory. My only complaint is he took off points for having percent error which is understandable but I felt he took off too much for small errors. If you ever need help go to his office hours!

I don't understand how he has a overall quality of 2.9! He should have a 5.0 instead! BEST TEACH EVER. HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING THROUGHLY AND VERY INFORMATIVE. VERY EASY IF YOU TAKE ZHU. But chemistry isn't a blow off class, you must put it time and effort into studying. When test time came, I only had to study for like 2-3 hours because he is good!!

I don't understand why he is having 2.9 rate. He deserves more than that. Try him and trust me. All you need to do is coming to class, paying attention to his lectures, doing your homework and you sure will pass. He also gives a good amount of extra credit in tests. If you can't pass, blame your laziness.

professor Zhou is an awesome instructor, really knows what she's doing. She put you with a partner in the lap to work with. He's always there to help all students, all the time, even when class time is over, she would stay with U to make U understand and assist you to finish the assignments. Flexible with grading!!. I highly recommend her class.

Chem 1 was hard . I got a C+ with this prof .I take Chem 2 and hopefully i get A

Dr. Zhu is awesome! Took him for Chem II and Chem II Lab. He does have a bit of an accent but it not bad, people just use that as an excuse for not doing well in class. The fact is, chemistry is a very hard subject so be prepared to work! He is the only chemistry professor that grades on a slight curve and he will bend over backwards to help you!

I took him for Chem I lab and Chem II lecture. He is a very good prof and helps you out a lot if you show him that you really care. I went to his office hours a lot and I feel like he graded my exams easier. He is the only Chem prof at OCCC that gives free bonus points on most or all of his exams. Not an easy A though , def lots of studying.

Dr Zhu is a sweetheart and he really cares about his students. He wants everyone to do well. He will help outside of class, even if it's not his regular office hours. He's hilarious. He gives a lot of bonus points on exams if he thinks people need it. His lectures are good, but sometimes hard to follow. I loved his class! His accent isn't a problem

Took this class in the summer, you have an exam each week. He makes sure you understand the material, gives extra credit. Has an accent but it helped me by paying more attention. His jokes made lecture more enjoyable, he really likes students who go to his office and ask questions. Study, do test reviews and your sure to pass.

Dr. Zhu is awesome! His review notes were super helpful, I definitely learned a lot from his clear writings; I even kept them in my lock for future references. His tests were similar to the online quiz with just a few extra thibs from his notes, nothing too crazy or out of the blue like others. Took both chem 1 and 2 with easy A.

He's a good professor. You must take him for your classes. He is a good professor.

Zhu was very good at teaching chemistry. He's straight forward and gets the job done. However, he expects a lot from his students. His tests are not the easiest, but if you do the homework and study maybe a day or two before the tests, you'll do fine. A lot of people struggle in his class because of his accent, but it is not too terrible.

I took this course in the summer and professor Zhu is super sweet and funny during his lectures. He explains things well but has an accent that might be hard for some to understand clearly. This class goes at a fast pace since it is compressed. There are tests every week and two in the last week. If you are not a hard worker DO NOT take this class.

I really liked Dr. Zhu! He is so funny and made lectures very enjoyable. He drops verbal hints for what's going to be on the exam. You must do independent learning and study his lecture slides if you want to get an A. He's the most personable chemistry professor at OCCC, I think. You can't go wrong with Dr. Zhu. Don't listen to the hate. He's good!

I have taken Dr. Zhu for both Chem 1 and Chem 2. In both cases, I should have received a C, but Zhu was generous with his points and bumped me to a B. I highly suggest taking Zhu. He tells you what to study for exams. As long as you show up and do practice problems, you will pass.

He is so sweet and cares about his students passing. I took him for chem 2 my second time and his tests seemed much easier than who I had taken before. Definitely attend class. If you have a hard time in Chemistry maybe try another professor because you might find it hard to understand him based on his accent.

I love Zhu. He is very funny and makes sure to explain everything really well. He will not help explain it more if you don't ask so don't feel shy. His review materials are super helpful for the test and he goes over everything you need to remember as you go in class. 100% reccomend him.

Zhu is a genuine person who wants everyone to pass but the class was one of the hardest classes Ive taken. Zhu will make sure we all understand the concept but the PPs by themselves during lecture dont feel like much help although he bases his exams from the PPs mostly. I think hes really nice & generous If you need help but his exams are HARD

Took him for lab, his accent is very thick but after awhile you will get use to it. If you need clarification on what he said you can ask him or other people around him. He is very clear and helpful for lab. And if you need help on lab he is happy to help. Just pay attention to prelab/briefing.

His grading criteria are clear. Make sure to do the homework quizzes because they can help boost your grade up. Although his lecture videos can be hard to understand, you can have zoom meetings with him for help. He answers your questions straight to the point. Just expect a lot of studying. Also, rounded my 89.5% to an A
