I took Math 132 with Professor Zhao in Winter 2025. He spends lots of time going through proofs in lecture, and the homeworks are designed to be more proof-based based which goes very well with his teaching style. The midterm and final were very similar to the content we covered in class, and he gave plenty of time in class to review for each of the tests. Overall, would recommend this professor if you are interested in a more proof-based course.

The tests were quite difficult, but he gave a generous curve in the end. He went through proofs at a fairly good pace and took his time to prove some of the more difficult theorems in class, which was very useful for both the midterm and final. The homework was manageable and not too difficult.
