"Amazing professor. "
"I have never had a professor who made me feel reluctant for the semester to end, or worried that I might never encounter another professor as good. At the beginning of the semester, I thought this professor was a bit strict, but I later realized he is simply fair and truly cares about his students. He can clearly tell who is making an effort and who is not, and if you are dedicated, he is more than willing to help you succeed. He holds a strong sense of responsibility and is committed to pushing his students to get the most out of this course. His goal is to make sure we learn everything we are supposed to learn in Intermediate Accounting II. His expertise is also incredibly solid. Whenever we asked academic questions, he could always provide clear and insightful explanations. "
" He was a GREAT professor with a GREAT personality that allowed us to stay engaged with the heavy material. "
"The Professor was always responsive to meet after class hours to further explain concepts. He was very helpful and one of the best professors I have had at Rice!"
"He is a perfect professor."
" The nicest professor I've ever had at UH! "
"This course was very good. The professor was more than helpful, probably the most helpful professor I’ve ever encountered in my college journey. "
"Professor Liu is a top tier professor. He goes out of his way to make extra time to help his students understand difficult topics. His classroom environment allows for an enriching experience because he is very interactive."
"Professor Liu is honestly one of the best professors I have had at University of Houston. I wish more professors cared as much and were as passionate for teaching as professor is. He went above and beyond multiple times throughout the semester to give his students the best experience possible. University of Houston should look to hire more professors like him. "
" Professor Liu was one of the first professors at my time at the University of Houston that made me engaged and hopeful coming to class. Everyday, I would walk to class excited to what he has planned and prepared to make the class fun, yet informative. I was constantly interested in what he had to teach and there was truly never a stale moment. "
"The Accounting Board needs to restructure their classes to be more like this class taught by Professor Zijun. He actually got me to like accounting. "
" One of my favorite professors if not my favorite from my undergraduate experience. Showed up to class ready to genuinely teach and interact with students. He is the type of professor to cater to each individual student's needs as long as they are putting in effort. A really refreshing approach that encourages understanding of concepts and not teaching to a test. "
" Has an awesome personality. Super easy to get along with. Very friendly and patient and kind. 10/10 all the way around. "
" I think this professor is truly outstanding. One of the most impressive aspects of the course is the quality of the lecture slides. They are very well-organized and build up concepts step by step. Even without reading the textbook, I was able to grasp the key points just by studying the slides and doing the assignments. The content was comprehensive and clearly structured. After finishing each chapter, the professor would typically provide two to three practice problems in the following class, which helped reinforce the material and allowed us to apply what we had learned. These exercises greatly enhanced my understanding and problem-solving skills. "
" Literally was the reason why I now understand this subject. I had to retake this class because my teacher last semester did not care how I did in the class. Professor Zijun was amazing and helped me so much throughout this course. He made sure that every student understood the concepts and made sure to walk through the concepts so that we wouldn't struggle. "
"Professor Liu was very well prepare for the class and teaching. He made sure we learned the material for the future. "
"Nothing needed to be changed for how this class was done."
"The professor would go over problems several times and he would make sure everyone had a clear understanding of the material "
"The professor came to class prepared and explained the content well. Additionally, he made sure that every single student understood the content before moving on "
"Issues in Financial Reporting I was a challenging course, but Professor Liu made it approachable by breaking the material into manageable, well paced segments. His organization and clarity helped make complex accounting topics easier to follow. He was consistently helpful and made himself very accessible outside of class. He was always willing to stay after class to talk or offered to set up a time to speak individually. Professor Liu’s teaching style was patient, and focused, and he created a learning environment that encouraged questions and engagement. "
" A really enjoyable class and experience would recommend this professor for everyone in the accounting. Having a professor that cares an invests time and effort into their students makes a huge difference in the learning environment. "
"I would just like to thank Professor Liu for his time teaching us and helping us this semester. I hope you have a great future wherever you end up. You are a great professor and you have a great personality. "
"UH should continue to hire and retain professors that care as much about their students as Professor Liu does. I have heard atrocious things regarding other professors in the department, and have been fortunate not to have these encounters, but some of my peers have not had this same luck. Unfortunately, it seems like those professors are the ones that tend to stick around, which is unfortunate considering how much higher education costs. Thank you to Professor Liu for a great summer semester and for making me want to learn more about accounting! "
" I just appreciate the continued support and adjustments throughout the semester. "
"Great teacher, really engaging, and wanted his students to succeed; he also brought snacks. "
"Always appreciate "
"This course was very well organized. The content was clearly explained in both the lectures and the readings. The homework and practice problems were challenging, but the exams were very doable. There was a lot of content covered in a short time, but if you focus, it is manageable. "
" Professor Liu is easily one of my favorite and among my most memorable good professors at UH. His drive to support, teach, and educate beyond the course is nothing less of spectacular and he intrigued me to pursue accounting beyond a undergraduate level. "
" Great Professor! Super down to earth and very helpful and responsive to questions. He clearly outlined the expectations, continuously had check points, remained available and responsive, and overall helped me create a real foundational knowledge of accounting... FINALLY! "
" He always explained to us the big picture. That made the subject way more interesting "
"Thanks for him i got of confident of accounting calculation."
"Everything went well with his class. "
" Overall teaching was great."
"Everything went smoothly, and the course was good."
"Honestly, I can't think of any suggestions. The smart book assignments were a tad long at times, but honestly, I think I learned pretty well and the repetition helped with learning the material. "
"Professor Liu was an amazing professor. He provided excellent presentation, practice problems, and allowed students to ask any questions if they were confused. He constantly made the class engaging by asking questions and getting the students involved without any pressure. "
" Your support throughout this course has meant more than you know. I remember you mentioning your teaching experience in Germany and other countries, which I thought was very unique. Not only did you make the material distinct and clear, but your approach to specific topics was genuinely different from any accounting course I’ve taken at UH. Your teaching style and encouragement helped me return to the material even when I felt off balance. During a season when a lot feels uncertain, this course helped keep me grounded. I felt intellectually challenged, and I value that you care more about what's behind the grade than the grade itself. I especially wanted to thank you for pulling me aside earlier this summer. It was so significant to me because it was one of the few times I felt like someone noticed what I was navigating. Things aren’t clear at home, and it took me by surprise further when the kind of presence and insight, respectfully, came from an accounting professor. Though it was brief, it had a much larger impact on me than you might have expected. That kind of acknowledgment reminded me I should finish the course with intention. Naturally, I want things to feel earned rather than unearned. I saw it as an opportunity to push through, even with knowing you said you would help. The interaction shifted my perspective drastically. Though I didn’t perform as well as I hoped on Exam II, I thought I guess it’s still progress and to keep trying. Your teaching style challenged me to think more logically, to have trust in myself again, and approach problems differently, both in accounting and in life. Maybe your global teaching experience played a role in that. And although you joked about not wanting to come back, I really do think UH could benefit from more professors like you. As I mentioned briefly, I’ve been trying to figure out what’s next for me and where I truly want to pivot. You’ve granted me the time and space to learn more about that as well. This class turned out to be more than just a graduation requirement for me. Thank you again for your time, guidance, and patience this summer. I hope you have a great time on your vacation and a smooth semester ahead. Thank you."
" It was a struggle in the beginning, but as the professor was really attentive and made changes to the course was really in the best interest of the students that eventually made sense over time. "
"Understood what he was trying to teach and provided a ton of practice problems "
"I'm glad that I could finish it the one of the hard classes successfully and always feel grateful about your great teaching and knowledge professor."
" Very good course. The professor was extremely pleasant, and he made himself available after class if we had any further questions about the material. "
"I wanted to thank you for my last semester at UH. On one hand, I wish I had gotten to take your class under different circumstances of life before I had a child, on the other hand, I am also so glad that I will get to remember my last semester at UH with the best accounting professor I had. I never had a more interesting class at UH that encouraged understanding of the topic. You encouraged us to ask questions beyond the scope of PowerPoint slides and always explained to us the big picture of why things are the way they are. I was apprehensive about whether it would be beneficial for me to attend every class since I have an infant to look after, but because of your way of teaching and care for students, I haven't missed a single class. I also never saw a professor showing us problem-solving solutions in multiple formats to show us that there could be more efficient ways of getting some of the answers. I thought accounting was a dry and memorization-heavy class, but this class was the complete opposite of that. Thank you for the work that you put into all of your students. Wish you good luck in your new beginnings."
"You have been very helpful and understanding towards every single one of your students the entire semester, we really appreciate you, and we are pleased to have had you this semester! I hope everything goes well for you at your new job."
" I want to thank you for this semester, I really learned so much and enjoyed your classes."
"Your course sparked my interest in the real-world applications of accounting, and your lectures played a significant role in my decision to explore accounting beyond the undergraduate level."
"I would like to thank you, as I truly appreciate it. I'm grateful to have a professor who cares. Regardless of my job and vacationing this summer, I will do my best to make a good score on this final."
" Professor Liu is an incredible professor. Having taken Kilic for intermediate I, Liu was an amazing follow up professor for intermediate II. Kilic taught amazingly and I was nervous as he set high expectations, but Liu was just as capable in teaching difficult material and making the class bearable, even though it went along all summer. He genuinely cared for his students and showed enthusiasm when teaching the subject. He brought students snacks and learned everyones name, at least those who made an effort to attend class. I am incredibly lucky to have had amazing professors for intermediate accounting, as some of my professors for previous accounting courses were big disappointments. Despite this class costing an arm and a leg, I believe my money was used effectively and working full time while taking the course to pay for it was well worth the sacrifice. I may not have had a traditional student summer, but I am grateful to have had a smooth experience with learning the topics of intermediate II. "
"I really appreciate the effort you are putting in the class and I look forward to our talk tomorrow. Thank you for hearing me out, it means a lot to me."
"Thank you so much for your help and understanding. Perhaps for many students, the dedication of Chinese professors can create some pressure. But honestly, you are the most responsible professor I have met so far at UH, and I feel very fortunate as a student who truly wants to learn. Thank you for your dedication that has really motivated me."
" The only thing I wish I could have seen different would be to maybe have actual reviews for the exams. It can sometimes feel overwhelming with all the information being taught, and a more structured review would have helped me prepare for the tests more. "
"I wanted to say I have really enjoyed your class and teaching style thus far and look forward to the rest of the summer!"
"I learned a lot and I will retain this information to apply later in life."
"Anyways, regarding the class and random thoughts I had, I just wanted to say I really enjoyed your class a lot. The last time I actually had to use my brain was all the way back in my Accounting Principles class like 3 years ago. Although my grades were not the best, I enjoyed coming to class and having to critically think and learn how to do things the right way instead of doing them mechanically. I'm also glad you left UH to be honest. In my opinion as a student, the school you go to doesn't matter too much and what matters is what you do for yourself. But ever since you started teaching, I've come to realize that other schools might have better things to offer, and you were the big reason why I started considering applying for Master's program in the first place. Some UH professors aren't exactly the best either and that's why I wasn't going to do a Masters in the first place and just tried to get a job after graduating. One thing that I really appreciate was how you brought in the printed practice problems that you went over in class with us. For me, the best way to learn is by doing, so by doing those practice problems with us in class, I learned how to solve those problems mechanically and the reason behind them as well. No other professor has done this for me, and I thank you so much for doing so because it is very useful. I hope that you continue to do so for your future students as well."
"Very helpful. Passionate."
" I really enjoyed the semester with Professor Liu; I learned a lot this semester. His attitude and presentation led the class. There was never a dull moment. I really appreciate all of generosity from Professor Liu. He was very nice to talk to and approach after class when I had questions on lessons that I didn't understand. Professor Liu also made sure that we understood the concepts before going on. One time, I didn't understand a concept and asked him about it after class. He went through the problem clearly and started the next class session, going over the problem so that everyone understood it. I also liked how Professor Liu connected the things we were learning with real-world scenarios and how it was used by professionals. "
"The course taught me a lot about financial accounting, and I feel that I will retain the information I learned and apply it in my future career."
"Very organized. Clear and Helps me a lot."
