Professor Zhou is, overall, a good teacher.
Zhou is a visual hands-on teacher. She teaches the course mainly using Power Point slides.
Zhou assigns a number laboratory reports. All those who attend lecture and laboratory usually get good grades on the report as long as her specific guidelines are met.
Although Zhou doesn't require a book, she assigns small readings from SacCT in regards to the laboratory and report.
