Very helpful, super easy, and a funny teacher. I recommend u to take this teacher.
Couldn't understand his English, and taught 2 different courses at the same time (Java) - so I didn't get good grades. I had to repeat C++ (majoring in CIS) because of him. Thanks to Velda James, she's way better than Eagle (his name).
Listen carefully! Soft-spoken but very articulate and educational. Funny stories. Will help after class, but get a tutor or go to math lab for more help. Works on points. Extra credit available. Gives credit for showing up in class!
Cannot understand a damn word he is saying. Had to learn from the book the entire semester. Although he is a nice guy and knowlegable, it does me no good since he only speaks poor engrish (yes engrish) which I cannot comprehend.
dumb teacher, bad english, test questions are directly copy from textbk, have 1 hr break in a 3 hr lesson everyday
really cool teacher
It is easy to pass his class
I think some of the remarks about Eagle are cruel and uncalled for. He is one of the best professors I have ever met and a great guy too! I heard him just fine, and I have a hearing problem! Don't blame his accent because you're a lazy, bitter loser.
I found his class easy to go through. Though some people can't seem to understand what he is saying because of his accent. I found him easy to understand.
Hard to understand and explanations are not very clear.
EASY! EASY! and....EASY!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you so much prof. Zhuang, for boosting my confidence in math. the class was so easy it would be insulting to fail. he was a very sweet and soft spoken man who was always willing to help. thank you again i wish my other math teachers and math classes were like him.
He's very helpful and sometimes fun guy. but you should get a tutor in tutoring center or his lab. Mike knows everything better than the prof.
Great teacher especially if you are well versed in the material. If you are a beginner then definately get in some lab work.
He is very clear in teaching. Since it is very, very easy to pass the class, you will not learn much. If you want to stay only one hour and 20 minutes for 3.5 hours class and still like to pass the class with A, choose him!
Great teacher. He will help anyone understand mathemathical concepts.
No Comments
I like him. He was to the point and I had no problems with him. If you do the work and the homework, and pass the test, you will do fine.
He's very helpful and understanding. I'd definitely recommend him. He's really funny too!
He is such a nice guy and he teaches you everything you need to know about Pre-Algebra.
Very easy teacher as long as you pay attention. This guy is as easy as it gets. Take him.
couldnt hear most of the time, sat in the back of the class though. it was ok though, just cause hes such a cool dude i didnt even care, i just read the book. TAKE HOME QUIZES LIKE EVERY WEEK.
Nice guy, class is as easy as it gets for Math. I learned a lot, but be warned, it's easy to fall behind. I should have got a B in the class but I slacked at the end and didn't do so hot on the final, still I got a C, no problem, and math is hard for me.
He's such a nice guy. His class is SUPER EASY! U MUST TAKE THIS CLASS!!! though u dont like him or u didnt pay attention, as long as u read the book, follow the formula, u will get A. His English is not really good, but that's OK, i still could understand what he's talking about.
I was impressed with the clarity of his lessons. He takes the quizzes from the homework and the tests from the quizzes, only changing the numbers so you don't memorize them. His teaching is so straightforward that I imagine it's difficult to fail the class unless you don't show up at all, or don't do any of the homework.
Excellent instructor. I'm not good at math, but he managed to make things make sense to me. Definitely take his class.
easy.
He is very good teacher! everyone should take his class
I absolutely adore this man! He's funny, easy to understand despite his accent. All quiz questions are taken from the homework. All test questions are taken from the quizzes. You would have to be practically retarded to get below a C. Easy A if you study. (I didn't, and I think I have a B.) He's extremely nice and helpful. Take him!
quizzes are take home& the answers can be found in your notes& HW. the HW is full of ODD# questions so you can check your answers. On the final he gave us a free answer cause he was late! im HORRIBLE at math but i got an A on the 1st test plus i did all the HW& quizzes so when the final came around i only need 17pnts to get a C, which i did get!

I am a total loser with mathematics--you don't understand. I was never, and may never be able to pass these math classes with any other professor. Mr. Zhuang really breaks it down into the most necessary, most essential problems and formulas--really beats around all the fluff and details. The Eagle has indeed landed!
I LOVE HIS TEACHING STYLE. GETS TO THE POINT. I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD DO SO WELL IN MATH. HE'S A GREAT GUY AND FUNNY TOO
All I can say is this professor is amazing. He is so helpful and patient. I thank him for actually teaching me and EVEN learned. I wish there was more math instructors like him. I can't wait to take him for Stats.
i took this class in the winter semester and it was pretty easy for me. he lets us take home this quiz and the questions on the quiz are straight from the notes, so be sure to copy the notes! aside from being a good teacher, he is really funny too. he makes the class fun!
he is an AMAZiNG teacher! people say he is easy, but dont realize that he is just being VERY helpful and actually making us students get all the concepts in math more clearly. he;s nice, friendly, funny too! for this class you just have to do all your homework and pay attention in class. quizzes and tests are from the book. TAKE HiM FOR math150/165
Mr. Zhuang Is the BEST professor ever! Seriously, All professors should learn from his STYLE and his technique of teaching. He really breaks it down and makes Math DOABLE for everyone! He is very helpful and straight forward, By far one of the best professors I have ever had and he makes the subject interesting with some humor to keep you intrigued
He explains everthing clearly and makes sure you understand it. He works a lot off the book, the quizes are from there and the tests are made from the quizes. He also explains the quiz questions so take good notes and it will be easier. He does talk a little soft sometimes so if you're hard of hearing don't sit in the back! He's the best teacher!
GREAT teacher!..everything you do in the homework is on your quizzes and tests! He gives take home quizzes also!! I loved his teaching style. There is nothing that can suprise you. Definatly a funny guy, this was my third time taking math 150 and by far the best math teacher..i will be taking him for stats!
Mr. Zhuang is a very helpful professor and explains each type of math problem so well that they seem easy and completely understandable. People say that he's an "easy" teacher, but I think that it's really that it's just that he's so good at helping students "make it" in math.
I took Mr. Zhaung for Statistics, he is one of the best math teachers I have ever had! He takes his quiz problems directly from the HW, then takes his Test problems from the Quiz. He gives you the answer to all HW problems and most of the time gives Take Home quizes!!! Very thick accent, but you get used ot it!
Best teacher ever
I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR! he made it SO EASY! no surprises in the class, everything is laid out for you, and easy to understand! just come to class all the time, take good notes, and do your homework! easy as that. dont be absent bc he tends to give away free points, quizzes, and test questions if theres a lot of ppl absent! funny guy too!!
super easy class... do your homework and take notes and you will be fine.
Amazing teacher. He pretty much wants you to get an A and if you show up to class he pretty much passes out points. Quizes and tests are easy and half the time he gives you the exact problems. Hilarious guy.
WOW!!! what a great teacher!!!He's great with making sure his students understand everything. If you show up the class before the test he gives out a bunch of the answers. Doing the homework helps because he asks if there are any people want to work on. Funny guy too!!!
I really struggled through this class. the material is not easy and there is alot to cover in a small period of time. I must say that Eagle really loves teaching and he genuinely wants everyone in the class to do well.He will do what ever he can to help you. He is very funny and he uses amusing real life examples in his lectures.
Great Prof. Very helpful, take him if you are not a math person. I hated math before i got into his class, now i love it! great professor!
MY ENGLISH IS NOT SO GOOD, BUT I HAVE TO SAY, HE IS A AMAZING PROFESSOR! YOU WILL LOVE THE MATH WHEN YOU TAKE HIS CLASS! RECOMMEND STRONGLY!
He is an excellent teacher. He explains everything until you don't have anymore questions. You have to do 2 projects, and if you need help he is always there. TAKE HIM!!!
I wish there were more teachers as passionate as he is about teaching. One of the nicest person I've ever met and he goes far beyond other teachers to help students. He can't possibly do anything more than he already does for you to succeed in his class. No joke. Amazing teacher, and not to mention, a huge sense of humor.
I had him for 150 I don't know what happened...I miss the old teacher who was more helpful and had less surprises on test :/ before I would have recommended him but now ...not so sure.
His accent made it nearly impossible for me to understand what he was saying, and when I asked for help he only repeated exactly what was just said. He would teach a concept once and then move on to the next, leaving everyone struggling and falling behind. He was 10-20 minutes late to class every day, and then he let us out 20-30 minutes early.
Very difficult to understand. If you are already bad at math do not take this teacher. Test are not what you study for and if you do poorly on the tests there is no way to pass the class.
TAKE HIM!!!!!He was an angel and very awesome hes like a smaller jackie chan. he is very cool when i comes to tests he will help you out by REPETITION the same Q that was on test 1 will be there for the quizs and the final so study ur tests u should be fine. BTW I ACTUALLY LEARNED!
I love him, he loves math and that love for math somehow gets transmited to the students. he has a bit of an accent but so what. he is very funny always has this life aplications that co-relate with the chapter that he is teaching, he is very helpful too. I am taking him again. Did I mention that I love him <3
Easiest math teacher at citrus!!! get on his good side and he will literally give u points back on ur test and quizes...HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Professor Zhuang is an amazing teacher! He wants all of his students to succeed and is willing to help you out if you need help. He is very funny and definitely has a passion for math. I strongly reccommend this teacher!
Math has always been a struggle for me. Taking various math teachers at Citrus, Mr. Zhuang is the first I felt my success was genuinely cared for. He is helpful and great on encouraging students. The course and tests are NOT easy; however, Mr. Zhuang, and his fantastic teaching style, makes Math 170 an enjoyable class. My favorite math teacher.
I really dig this professor! Man I think he has a universal style of teaching, everybody get's it. A lot of people say it's an easy professor, I have to disagree with that. If you show up to class, and pay attention, take notes and make your homework, it becomes an easy class because you are actually learning!!! I absolutely love him!
I signed up with this Professor because of everyone's high ratings...I hated this class and his grading style. His quizzes are free points, but his tests are extremely difficult and the majority of your grade depends on two exams and a final. There's no chance to catch up if you mess up once.
awesome teacher!!!
This teacher is really awesome. He really wants his students to pass and understand the material. The homework is very fair and he take problems from the homework onto the quizzes there is no trick problems like some other teacher's classes.
Best Math teacher ever! Wants students to pass the class, he was very helpful. Make sure to do the HW and you will be fine.
Great teacher! He has an accent, but if you pay attention, there is no trouble learning, he's also very funny which is a plus. Gives HW to practice for his quizzes, puts problems from HW on his quizzes. Puts questions from quizzes on his tests. each quiz=10 pts, tests=100pts, sets of hw packets are 15 pts each.
This class was tough!
Great teacher. Spends the right amount of time on material with no fluff. I actually learned when he taught compared to my previous 150 teacher. its hard material but with a good teacher youre good.Highly recomend taking his class. I plan on taking his Stats class.
best teacher ever! this was my 4th time taking math 150 and i ended up with 100.4% just do the hw,he tells you which questions are on the quiz and those will be on the test. i loved him because he didnt teach you stuff you dont need to know. and his methods are soo helpful. thank god for this teacher
Trig is a hard subject specially if you haven't taken it before. Zhuang is hands on helpful. The material is hard so I suggest you pay close attention and do all the hw or else you'll fall behind. Great teacher, funny. The material is hard and his grading system is simple but very difficult to pass by you need all the points you can get.
BEST MATH TEACHER AT CITRUS!! Very helpful and gives A LOT of take home quizzes. The quizzes are straight from the book... tests are from the quizzes with very little changes on some questions. Always willing to answer questions. He even uses a mic cuz he knows that his broken english is really broken.. i recommend sitting in front. PLUS he's funny
Great Professor, Helps out a lot and will help you understand the material well. Funny and entertaining too. Do the work and you'll be fine. Highly recommended!!
Mr. Zhuang is like the asian grandpa you never had. He is such a sweet guy! Super nice and he really teaches you. All the quizzes were open book which made it easy to pass and the same questions were on the test, and those questions were on the final. Its all about repetition, and he explains things like no other math teacher does. Great teacher!
He is one of the best (and nicest) professor anyone can meet. Not only is his class easy (gives take home quiz OR does it in class with you), he tries his best to explain things to you until you get it. If you have a chance to take him for anything, DO IT! You will totally not regret it.
Very challenging/hard statistics class. He is very helpful and very nice. Be ready to study a lot for this class.
He is a really great teacher. He helps you understand the material and really wants you to succeed, but you have to be willing to do the work. He gives out homework and the quizzes are based on the homework so you HAVE TO DO THE HOMEWORK!! I learned a lot from him
This teacher is amazing! He is not hard nor easy but he makes sure you fully understand the material he's so helpful. I took him summer and manaaged. I DONT REGRET TAKING HIM AT ALL. STUDY AND DO HW IS MY ADVICE!
Before I had this teacher I hated math I never liked it and never understood it, with the help of i learned to like math at some point I convinced myself that Math is fun! now you can imagine how good this teacher is I took him for both Algebra and statistics I already transferred to a university and I am so sad that I will never have him again :(
He is an amazing teacher, he is very helpful, funny,and very nice.he gives " secrets" for the quizzes and test & sometimes gives you take home quizzes.Do your homework, pay attention, attend class daily because sometimes he gives bonus points, and study and you will do fine.RECOMMEND!!!
This class was too easy. He gave us take home quizzes and the questions from the quizzes were on the test-- he just changed the numbers. It was the easiest A I have ever received. I only did the homework and I never studied and I still got over 99% in the class. This will definitely be the easiest A you will ever get.
I hated math before I took his class, he's a little hard to understand, but he made understanding math easier than I anticipated. Homework and tests are tough if you don't study, so study! Would recommend
Math 150 is a challenging class; as with other courses of study, the onus of a successful outcome is entirely up to the student. Zhuang provides a very good lecture/class meeting and provides helpful tools. To say this class is "easy" is misleading: if it seems easy, it's because you are LEARNING. This class is for the "dedicated" student.
Great teacher but you have to be committed to learn.
He is a great professor, and will push you to learn. He is a big help, keeps all students engaged. Need to be committed 100% in order to pass. Put in a good amount of work and you'll be fine.
GREAT PROFESSOR! GIVES EXCELLENT EXPLANATIONS!! REALLY TAKES HIS TIME AND CARES ABOUT THE STUDENTS! HE WANTS EACH OF US TO PASS! TAKE HIM!!
Professor Zhuang is the greatest professor I have had at Citrus College. He is very helpful and does everything step by step. He gives many thorough examples and he is very knowledgable and will help any student. I strongly reccomend his class
This class is very difficult. Do not add if you do not plan to spend time on this class. The work is very time consuming.
I though this class was going to be a piece of cake, but i was wrong its was very difficult and very time consuming. if you are not dedicated you will not pass this class!! p.s he is not easy at all its all lies
This is a tough class, don't think you will be able to pass the class by missing a few days. the material is hard but the teacher tries hard to comprehend the material, even if he is a little mean.
This class is very difficult, too much work and little time to finish exam problems, take a different teacher for this math, trigonometry
difficult teacher, too much homework is due on day of test
Mr. Zhuang is the HARDEST MATH TEACHER I've ever had!!! There are too many homework due on the test day, and if you don't put your time in this class, you'll be left behind. Also, for his exams, there are only 10 questions for each exam, meaning he takes points OFF for anything! :/
The professor is helpful but hasvery difficult hw Due on test day, test are rediculously Hard, don't take him if you plan to slack off
For everyone else writing not so good things about Eagle, I loved his class! I took Trig over winter so I understand it was very challenging and the workload does get to be a bit much. BUT that is great practice... if I didn't do the assigned homework i would have not gotten an A in the course. HW questions = QUIZ questions = TEST questions
He is decent guy and actively tries to help his students learn. His test are pretty straightforward ;however, he dose have a habit of marking down anything that is not done exactly the way he dose it. Word of advice, The first exam is the hardest in the class so study, Even if you disagree with his notion just do it and save yourself points. GL
If you have trouble with math like me, then this is the teacher for you. I suck at tests but did all my homework and passed with a high B. Open note quiz, take home quiz. I scored near perfect on all of them. Plus he is super nice. He has a high rating for a reason.
This class was very difficult
He is a very difficult professor.
Don't take him for granted! Read before coming to class. Merciless when it comes to grading. Study! His tests are super hard!
There are 12 quizzes, 2 tests, 1 group project and the final exam. The grading is based on a point system. The professor is fair in grading on the tests, tries to give you credit in trying. However, the biggest issue I had was HOW he prepared us for the tests. The study guides don't correlate to what is on the actual test.
He is so funny, the only thing is his accent is hard to understand so ask questions and go to his office hours, he is so helpful
Do not take this professor unless you are ready to teach yourself the whole course. He speaks very low and isn't clear about the topic. He assumes that you already know the material and the course feels like it should be review. Lots of homework. The only good thing is he gives partial points on tests which help and take home quizzes.
Great Professor! Took him during the winter session, and it was totally manageable with my other class. 12 quizzes(some are take home), 2 tests, and a final. He pretty much gives you the questions on the tests and finals during the review.
Professor Zhuang is awesome. I took him in the Winter 2016 semester and I think I'm the only person that loves trig now. He is very helpful, if you have questions ask as his accent can be difficult to understand. He gives moderate amounts of homework, but he goes over homework problems in lecture. 12 quizzes (some take home) 2 test and a final.
He's amazing!
If you do all thw homework and study you will pass his class. Math is not my best subject at all. He would stay after class to help me with any problems i had. He is an awsome teach and you can tell he loves his students. I would recommend him for anyone.
This is my 2nd time taking this course due to math not being my best subject & my professor not being helpful, at all. Professor Zhuang was an AMAZING professor. He tells you on the first day what you will be doing & he is extremely generous when it comes to points & offers extra time to all students who need more help. 10/10 would recommend.
Taking his class was the best class I have taken at Citrus, you could tell he genuinely cares for his students and for us to learn the lessons. He helps you a lot and he is really funny and just over all a great prof. Most quizzes are take home and he has a lot of after class help.
I have always struggled in math but he explains the material very well and gives several example problems to help you understand. He makes you feel comfortable enough to ask questions and has no problem explaining it again. He gives partial points in tests which helps out your grade a lot. He also gives extra credit opportunities which also helps.
He was a great professor! Took him for sats over the summer and he was very caring and great at explaining everything. He wants his students to pass and is more than willing to help you understand all the material. HW is due on the day of exams keep up with it as you go its a lot. Exams are based on HW and Quizzes (12 total), 3 exams! Not hard!
Great professor! Extremely fair, very helpful, and understanding. Haven't seen a better professor yet!
I took this class in a winter semester. Zhuang is a very pleasant man and excellent teacher. He administered several take home quizzes and tests were simple. Only downside was that he was often late to class.
I have enjoyed taking Prof Zhuang for both Trig and Pre-Cal. His classes are structured for every student to get an A, its all a matter of effort. He keeps a lighthearted atmosphere in the class by inserting little quips and jokes into his lecture, and will take the time to spend extra time helping you understand if you ask questions.
Best math professor I've had yet. I had the pleasure of having him for both Trig and Pre-Calculus just because I was so certain that I wanted to continue learning under him. He presents you in class with the exact material you need to know for the tests, and makes class a fantastic time with his relevant stories and jokes. He values good workers.
This professor was good! he always gives you a "special " quiz. He always makes sure the WHOLE class knows what's going on before moving on. HE is a really good professor with motivation and help. I was so intimidated taking the GE stats class considering I always failed math.. , but he made it a walk through the park.
