Minglang Zhou CHIN425 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 03/31/2025	Agonizing class. Tough and confusing grader with no rhyme or reason to his feedback. The reading itself isn't that hard, and the work is doable. As other reviews mention, he'll claim you're lacking something in your answers but most of the time it's already in there, just stated slightly differently. It almost seems like he genuinely doesn't know how to interpret a slightly differently worded answer than what he would give, which is pretty baffling. I'm a double history and Chinese major, so I'm used to tough classes and a ton of reading. This is easily the most frustrating class I've taken at UMD. Two stars because I really do like Dr. Zhou as a person, and outside of class he's easier to talk to. He's one of those professors who is an accomplished scholar but an exceedingly boring lecturer.
