This professor had to the worst professor I have come across in LAGCC. I was a 4.0 straight A student and he gave me an F; why because I missed two classes because my mother passed away and he refused to catch me up which put me in a position behind the rest of the class. He also acted like he was doing math by himself and went at his own pace.

Quiz every class and open book test. Rather than just reciting formulas, he prefers to get you thinking about the why. He often ends class early, meaning lectures only cover example problems. There are no mandatory assignments, so you'll need strong self-discipline and independent learning skills.A nice professor with profound knowledge

Dr. Wang is the best professor I've had. He is passionate about his work and understanding. Recommends great sources for self-study, encourages creative thinking, and true understanding of a topic. Do the practice in the syllabus, use the textbook + Prof. Leonard's videos+ study for the quizzes. Review after every quiz. Improve your thinking skill.
