Fall 2023 - I'm finishing up this course this quarter, and have never felt more unprepared for a final exam. Avoid Zhang if you want a professor you can actually understand speaking English... I stopped going to lecture because she would just read off the slides in whatever sequence she wanted, not like I could understand her anyway. The course material (slides) themselves could also use some work, I used the textbook Big C++ for much of my self-teaching. The slides need to go deeper into syntax and focus less on the unclear examples she recites off.
