This class isn't an easy class. His tests seem to be much easier than u would expect, but they cover everything for the entire year. The second test has more things from the old chapters then the new. SO you have to really understand the subject. He drops ur lowest test and doubles ur highest, tho. His english is okay.

He is not the most helpful teacher because he wants you to come to class with the notes reviewed and ready to discuss but honestly his class is a joke . He'll tell you to review the notes then leave for like 20 minutes then come back and barely discuss them. Grade is based of 5 tests, but has sample exams posted online that are similar to the exam

Professor Zhang's online ECONM201 class is one that I would recommend! As someone who has a unrelated major, I found this class challenging, yet very informative. I genuinely learned a lot being in Professor Zhang's class and felt successful. He sets up his guidelines and assignments very clearly, so you know exactly what you need to do!

He never answered emails and made a lot of weird comments about election results. He also lacks empathy. I emailed him asking for a quiz extension because I was in the emergency room and he said that I should have done the quiz earlier in the week and not procrastinated, and my quiz was still due tomorrow at 11:59pm.

A lot of what you learn from his course is from reading the online textbook. Has lecture notes that he has you print out so you can follow along but the entire semester he didn't give one full lecture. Talks about the market and other random topics every class that don't match the chapter you're supposed to be on. Missing class lowers your grade.

Absolute joke of a professor. Zhang dropped me in week 4 despite 100% completion, full participation, and paying for materials. No warning, no reason, just an arbitrary move that forced me to scramble mid-semester. Completely unprofessional. His arrogant announcements prove he enjoys pointless authority. Embarrassing that Moorpark keeps him around.

If you have to take this professor I'm so sorry for you and good luck. Do not even bother emailing him because you will be met with a rude remark and an odd quote from a philosopher. I am positive they let anyone be professors nowadays as somehow Ray Zhang is still one. You just do a program and rarely speak with him and if you have a problem GL.

He is kinda mean, I feel he tries to hide his hate towards student with "can you handle the truth" phrase, then he just throw the most random stuff. You can think of him as the uncle who everyone hates and is constantly being excluded from family reunions. He doesn't really teach you stuff, its just reading the smart book, didn't learn anything.

Never talked to the guy ever. As for the course, 40% of your grade is from Knewton Alta, takes about 30 minutes a week with unlimited attempts. Quiz and test are 2 attempts and pretty simple. Its a pretty easy to follow course and it does effectively teach, just submit your assignments on time and have 5th grade math skills and you'll pass.

Honestly if you do just your work, tests, quizzes, and assignments on time you wont have any issues getting a good grade in this class. I've never had to email him for anything so I can't speak on that part, but just do your work and you'll be fine.

All of his assignments were open until the course ended, which seems fair and also accessible, as it allows you to finish your assignments by the due date. I have not once emailed the professor, so I do not know how he personally is. As long as you do your work, you can pass with an easy A.

Don't email him, very picky when he is emailed and he gets rude, he even has a format for that. He isn't involved in class since he doesn't grade anything, he uses the platform Knewton that does grade instead of him. Easy class when completing coursework but the quality is not very good, easy to pass but learn outside of the class if you take it.

Prof Zhang is super wholesome and relatable, actually responds to emails quickly, and makes the class easy to follow. The assignments app is simple to use, and the class isn't stressful or a headache at all. 10/10 would totally recommend.

He kind of doesn't do much as a professor and makes Knewton atla do all of the teaching. There were actually SO many assignments too which would take me hours to complete. He also never responded to the one email I sent. I personally would only take his class if you have no other choice.

This was a very easy Econ class that I would take again and again. Besides having to purchase Knewton to do the work, I have no complaints. We need more professors like Professor Zhang!

I took Principles of macroeconomics with Ray and it was a great class. Fairly easy just a good amount of reading with the program you have to buy. Ray makes due dates clear and will not extend time so just make sure to be on top of your work.
