Easy A course if you just keep up (there's honestly not much work). Her class can be kind of boring but the content is interesting (lowkey common sense). |

Dr. Zou is a great lecturer and professor. She responds to any concerns incredibly quickly, and lectures in a way that is easy to understand and take notes on. However, her exams and quizzes, while open note, can be difficult. There are occasionally a few trick questions where either answer could be correct, and it just becomes a 50/50 guess. She does genuinely care about her students, but her UTA and GTA during Spring 2023 left a little to be desired. While there are some things that she could change to make the course better, I believe she is a great professor and a good option for anyone looking to take PSYC 221. |

The syllabus for the class is very comprehensive; from the beginning, you'll know exactly what to expect regarding assignments. There is only one homework assignment per week (a 5-6 question quiz) on the material covered in the lecture, and during the lecture, participation is evaluated through Turning Point. There are a lot of small assignments throughout the semester, including 3 writing assignments and multiple extra credit opportunities. Both the midterm and finals are open-note and pretty easy to follow. She cares a lot about her students but appears sort of nervous and lacks the assertiveness that I think would take her teaching quality to the next level. |

Professor Zou's lectures are engaging and organized, and she herself is very sweet. The class itself is not difficult, there are many extra credit opportunities and besides a couple of writing assignments and a final essay, the workload is light. A previous review stated that Professor Zou was not able to answer student questions, but I personally have felt my questions have been answered well. Overall a great class that is not too difficult if you're looking for something easy but interesting. |

Not my favorite professor, I felt like I taught myself a lot of this material. She kind of seems like she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She could never answer questions students had. Nice enough and lots of extra credit but I was disappointed. |

I took psyc221 with Dr. Zou in the covid spring 2020 semester, and her ability to transition between the in-person to online learning environment was very organized. I also took her psychology of racism class (psyc232) and found it to be very fulfilling. Dr. Zou is really educated in the field of social psychology and reflects her passion into her teaching. She is extremely approachable, but also very professional. Her teaching style consists of giving lectures with posted slides, having small class discussions, and creating a space for fulfilling full-class discussions during her discussion section. She is very flexible and understands that things happen, and wants to help you succeed. If I could give Dr. Zou a higher rating, I would absolutely do it. Fantastic professor and overall human. |

I took the Psychology of Racism with her and she is by far the best psych professor I've had. She is caring and really does want everyone to succeed. Her grading is clear and assignments are straightforward and arent overwhelming. |

Amazing professor, very kind and wants to see students succeed. She's very flexible with making things work for the class and presents information in a fun and interactive way. |
