His class isn't the most life-changing but I really don't think he deserves 1 star. I know it's a required class for the minor, but if you are even mildly curious about the subject, the readings are actually very interesting. His lectures are restatements of the readings, so it's not particularly riveting, and participation points mean you have to be there, but there are worse things. He's a friendly guy, tough grader (as in you cannot get a perfect score) but I think it'll be fine if he curves?

I know for many this will be a required course because of the Chinese minor, but if you can avoid taking this class, please avoid it. Professor Zhou is a very nice guy, but he is a terrible grader and the class is unbearably boring. I have had multiple times where he will take off points for an assignment then leave a comment saying what should be included, but I added exactly the thing he is saying was missing. His grading is all over the place, there is truly no rhyme or reason for why he gives the score he does, but he will certainly take off points. His lectures will put you to sleep, even though the material should be pretty interesting. Don't take this class if you don't have to. Try to find another class to fulfill the linguistic requirement if you value your sanity.
