Dr.Zhu is an incredibly nice professor; he is so nice and understanding, so if you couldn't do an assignment on time, he gives you an extension. He drops 3 of your lowest quizzes, and the assignments are so easy. His exams are super easy as well, it's open notes and an open textbook. I SUPER recommend him for a gen-ed science class. |

Dr. Zhu is an amazing professor! This is the perfect example of what a gen-ed class should be like. The workload is very minimal - one McGraw Hill homework assignment and one discussion board post a week. Exams are a piece of cake as they are open notes and open textbook. Plus, this semester they got rid of the clickers and replaced them with quizzes that occur basically every other class which are very easy and the lowest 3 get dropped. Most importantly, the material (IMO) is pretty interesting. Dr. Zhu's lectures are interesting and engaging, even for non-geology majors. Dr. Zhu himself is a very great person. He is super nice, laid-back, and helpful and he cares genuinely about his students. Not to mention, he is also a cool person to talk to about non-geology stuff. Plus, he is clearly a way better professor than Tracey Centorbi so I would highly recommend taking this class with Dr. Zhu if he is teaching it. In short, I highly recommend this class. It fit very nicely with my busy schedule and was a nice break from my major classes. Overall Rating: 5/5 stars |

He was a fairly good lecturer, but often did not post inclass activities on ELMS and some assignments were unreasonably hard. I know many people who struggled in this class. Its a fairly high workload, but as long as you stay on top of it, it's fine. Also - the lab is not an actual lab, rather just working on paper assignments. |

This class is inherently easy, and checks off a gen ed requirement, which is why I took it. The homework takes less than an hour per week, which is pretty reasonable. The lectures are very boring and it is hard to pay attention. Because all of the exams are online, the class is relatively easy. I would recommend it if you need it for a gen ed. |

Professor Zhu is amazing! His lectures are simple but informative, he is happy to engage with students and will answer any questions, he always makes sure to give in-depth explanations to any topic he sees students confused by, and he is a very down-to-Earth professor. The workload in the class is small, and the tests are pretty easy as long as you pay attention in class (he always makes sure to post a practice midterm the week before too). I had a great time in his class, and would recommend him to anyone who has to take GEOL100! |
