What Students Say

She clearly doesn't know the subject well herself, Horrible teaching skills, Pretty much lets you learn on your own, Not helpful at all, Piles tons and tons of information in very little time, tests are ridiculous

ANATOMY - 2.0 rating

If she comes to class not prepared with the lecture and has to use a students printed notes to READ off of and expects us to learn material and do homework for it an entire class ahead you're not a professor you're a joke

She'll say she's more into the biology of plants. She doesnt give extra credit so be on your game! You will be self teaching in this class! I recommend going to the la

Prof Zung was a sub for our Bio 3 class. She lectures fast, but gives you very organized notes that you fill in during class. She went above and beyond creating notes based on our book and made sure we had study guides before each test. The tests weren't super easy, but she gives you all tools and help you need to get an A if you study hard.

She cares about the class not talking too much, but that's like every professor. She stays on track and is really cool. Test and final is multiple choice and 10 fill in the blank question and 5-7 short answer (where she lets you pick which ones to answer). You must study! Can't pass without it, but she gives everything to you so it isn't hard to do

Professor Zung's difficulty is what is expected when one attends a college level class. It is challenging for those with a lack of study habits, okay if one studies on average, and easy if one dedicates their life to it. Her exit quizzes are based on the lecture given the same day which forces you to study it to pass, but really prepares you.

Poor teaching skills. All she does is read off a powerpoint. The study guides she provides are not helpful because they are so simple as opposed to her exams which ask about topics in full detail. She is not approachable at all and is very rude. Most people end up dropping, maybe because her class is very boring, no one seems happy to be there.

Professor Zung is really nice professor. I was scared at beginning because I read all the bad comments but the truth is that shes super nice. If you want to pass the class you need to study because the class is hard. Its Anatomy so in my opinion is not that the professor is bad. Shes great and I would definitely take her again.

This professor doesnt care about each individual students needs for learning. She will only allow you to make an audio recording for her class, which is completely useless for visual learners. Even when you bring it to her attention that you have different learning needs, she wont make concessions. By far the worst educator Ive ever had.

Professor Zung is a great professor! She made anatomy simple with her video lectures. Dont get me wrong, the class is hard bc of all the memorization but she did a great job at explaining it. She finds little ways to help memorize some things easier. Theres quizzes every week and lab hw every week. She drops your lowest quiz score too.

Guys if youre deciding wether or not this is the bio teacher for you PLEASE make the right choice and avoid her class at all possibilities. She does not teach but gives an overbearing amount of class work. Her exams are heavy and lectures are heavier. She also does not care about her students, I think she could care less if youre learning or not.

Do not take this professor for Anatomy. I had to take this class for an Intro to Human Anatamy, she made us memorize bones, muscles, tissues, etc. You don't have a word bank for tests so you're just supposed to know it off of a picture, this doesn't include the multiple choice portion of her tests. Take anyone else but her if you want to pass.

Prof. Zung is very smart, funny, and thorough with her teachings. Many of the negative reviews are based on the fact that anatomy in general is a difficult course and have less to do with her teaching abilities.. She has no tolerance for cheating and doesn't accept late work, but she is an awesome professor who wants to see each student do well.

Gives 10-item test every session so you need to study everyday if you want to get an A. But you have plenty of opportunities to improve your grade, just do your part. Learned a lot in this class.
