No words to describe him except EXCELLENT, study homework that's where the examples for tests comes from 98.9% of times
he is an EXCELLENT professor
I now attend Hunter College, and without Dr. Wang's precise teaching I would be completely lost. I wonder why he is not at a more prestigious school-he deserves a better student body to deal with. He is certainly the BEST professor at this school hands down.
Took him for Cal 2 and he was the best and I'm going to take him for Calculus based physics this fall and I can't wait. Wang is the best!!!
Dr. Wang is an excellent prefessor. He is Very good at teaching and very helpful in solving difficult questions. I learn a lot in this class,which is very helpful for taking the Calculus class in the future. To sums up, he is among the best in the campus. If you really want to learn, try his class.
GREAT PROFESSOR, VERY EASY. HIS TESTS ARE MULTIPLE CHOICE AND THEY ARE VERY EASY. ALL HIS TEST COME STRAIGHT FROM THE REVIEW MAYBE HE CHANGES THE NUMBERS AROUND. BUT I DEFINETLY RECOMMEND HIM.
right now i am in city college. i completed one sem. in laguardia. i had never such a smart guy. He is the best proff. in physics and maths i ever saw
DR.FRANK IS HE BEST PROFESSOR IN THIS DEPARTMENT MAN HE IS JUST SMART MAN I LIKE HIM A LOT AND I WANNA BE LIKE HIM .
The best ever! gotta take his class. He is very funny and nice. He will give all the time in the world for you if you go ask him for help!
He is great. He's class fill up fast. Idf you wanna learn and get a good grade you should consider him.
He is Execellent. If you come late alwaysdon't take his class
OK this guy doesnt give any help or enough examples of things to help you out. All he ever tells you is " do you agree with me??" and you have no clue what the answer is but he asks you if he is right. WHat the hell is that? i have always gotten b's in my math classes. This is the first F ever I got. Now I am retaking it with Carter. She is the bes
He really makes an effort for you to understand his explanations although he goes very fast. Be prepared to do a lot of homework!!
great proffesor
he's the best professor.
He is very helpful. Whenever I ask him any questions, he always explains. Although his English is not that great, he will help you as much as he can.
IF YOU REALLY WANNA LEARN MATH ANF PHYSICH TAKE CLASS WITH HIM. HE IS AN ASSET OF LAGCC.
Dr. Wang is the best professor in Mat deparment, he is EXCELLENT!!!
wang is the best in this deparment,he is very nice, funny and smart, i love him!!!
he is so smart the best proffessors ever
I love Professor Wang so much! He makes difficult things easier. And he is also extremely helpful. After the class, he spends time helping students as much as he can. I had a math fobia before taking his class, but now I like it a little bit:-)
He is such a elegant professor that I couldn't imagine LaGuardia without him. I took Physics 2 with him and matter a fact I learned CAL 3 and Chemistry 2 more than what I learned from these courses including Physics. So, I do say that he deserves to be the professor at "MIT" or at least of "City College" without no doubt. I always recommend to take
Great professor. Highly recommended. Similar problems in quiz appears in exam. Very specific on what will be examined in the quiz.
Highly intellectual professor. Patient, EXTREMELY helpful, and concerned for students' progress. Explanations are crystal clear. I took Physics 2 and Differential Equations with him. He is one of the best professors in Laguardia cc. But, do not expect to get a good grade without studying.
The most highly organized mind I've ever experienced before!
Prof.Wang is very nice and very patient. very helpful, recommend!
very very very nice~~~~~~~!!!
Highly efficient, highly organized, the best prof at maths departments. The leader of maths department must feel shame when comparing himself to Dr.Wang!!
A great Prof in LAGCC! Really clarify and helpful!!
Excellent professor. If I say anymore, it will just become a repetition of his well deserved praise.
One of the best professors laguardia has! He knows what he teaches and is very active and helpful. Also has a lot of knowledge. You do what he says and you get A for sure i.e. Do homework and solve problems in class.
if you know calculus already you'd understand he class. Not that great!
This is one of the best Professors I've had! He's someone who will be lenient with you and wants to see your truly understand the material, as opposed to just memorize. Will give your extra credit work if you need it. His teaching philosophy is amazing and is aimed at helping you appreciate knowledge.
Very Good Prof. He is very patient and encourages his student. His courses move at a very fast paste so make sure you take good note and practice all the homework question,reviews, and quizes.
Best professor LAGCC has in the Mathematics & Science department!
He is a great professor, and i really learned a lot of things from taking his class. It is a challenging world out there and you want to be prepared, so i would highly recommend taking Professor Wang's class. NO MATTER WHAT. THE ABSOLUTE BEST.
a very good techer
A great Professor!Knows his stuff and can make any difficult topic easier to understand.Undoubtedly the best professor of LaGuardia, in the field of Math and Science!Aside for his outstanding knowledge and teaching ability, he also encourages his students and gives very polite responses to every question or confusion.Best learning experience ever!
Professor Wang was super excited to be in class every day and truly clarified statistics for me and made it very interesting. Statistics is a subject where you have to do a lot of independent study, but he definitely provided the necessary tools for success.
He is a very good professor.
Seriously,you don't want to miss his class. He is really good at making hard materials easy. When it comes to grading, as long as you do what you are supposed to do, there's no reason that you cannot get an A or at least A-. He is so fair and reasonable! LaGuarida should keep this professor for good!!!
Great professor! Extremely care about students! He really do everything that is possible for students to make them understand material! I was afraid of physics before taking this class, now I truly love it. Take him if you want to learn material but be ready to study hard.
THE BEST........!!!!!!
He is often go out of the subject. He do not explain clearly. he does not explain in details. He does not give examples. You have to study on your own in order to know the lessons. about 30% of the test out of book. if you care about getting A take dont take his class.
He insert many stories trying to connect to statistics but i find them confusing because he does not explain in detils
His speech isn't clear at all. He seems like a nice guy who wants to give everyone the opportunity to do well, but I feel like he has trouble explaining the material.
"Is that right?" His question after explaining, i would tell him i dont know because this first time taking this class. He made feel anxious with his stressed speech. I wnt to his office, he told sorry i cant help you improve your grade.
Be prompt to his class to attend the opening quiz. They are based on your homework so it is both to evaluate that you did your homework and you get the concept. Hence if you do the homework you get A in all, now thats super easy. He maintains clarity but he rushes and doesn't really do much problems for a concept. Overall great professor.
I LOVED taking statistics with this professor. He made math super fun and interesting by showing you how it can all be tied to real life scenarios. He was very funny and sweet. I can't believe all of the negative reviews he is getting. Don't be scaredabout the daily quizzes because he gives you an 8/10 if you get it wrong and an 11/10 if you get it
Prof. Wang is a gem among professors. He is purely logical and will make the material relevant to your everyday pursuits. I would recommend him for absolutely anything. He is also fair above all else, and if you do your part, he will do his.
Right. So Wang. He's the most uncomfortably awkward I've ever watched teach. He ends every sentence with, Is that clear over here? or, Is that riiiight? Obviously not a good marker to see if someone understands something. HOWEVER, this guy wants you to pass. Daily quizzes are given to assess learning and he makes test questions from those.
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.
Not a easy "A" class, but as long as you actually put effort to study, you will get a good grade because he breaks down the material as simple as possible.
He is the worst professor I ever have. His explanation is totally not clear.
Great proffesor , explains well
It is not an easy class, but please do not miss this course If you really want to learn something. His lecture is clear and relates to real life. Addition to that, he taught some formulas more understandable. Even though online homework counts only 5% of the final grade, it is really important.
he was a good professor to have and was very clear in explaination
Professor Wang is the way to go if you really want to learn mathematics. He teaches it using real life scenarios which was the game changer for me. Do the homework (there's lots of it), and show up on time or you might not pass.
He is a real mathematician Lagcc got. Just do the homework problems. Then you are good to go and get an A. But make sure you come in class on time.
GREAT, but don't take If you don't understand mountain, cloud, electronic bcz he will explain the math by those..
Prof. Wang is way beyond being an awesome professor. He will be in his office most of the time with extra time for students. Provides quizzes based on the previous lessons and these quizzes are potential Exams questions. He wants you to be in the class before he arrives SO be early. And last but not least good grader. (He does not like excuses)./:
The quiz is %25. Take it seriously. He gives a quiz every day from what topic he finishes and collects. As the subject gets harder sometimes he doesn't collect it and gives you 10 out of 10. Be 10 before class if you come late for 5 min you lost easy 10 points. Exams are from homework. He is very organized and exams are from homework. You better do
It is crucial to come to class ON TIME! (it's even better earlier) If you're late you will get a 0 for the quiz because he gives a quiz every class based on what he taught the day before. If he sees that you made an attempt you'll get a decent grade on the quiz! Exams are based on quizzes and some hw so make sure you study!
Do the homework because those or similar questions will be on the quiz. w.e is on the quiz will be on the test. Most of the time the same quiz questions. He gives you alot of chances to get a good grade. I wish all prof were like him. Do the extra credit. The quiz are 25% of your grade. If you show you made an effort with the quiz then its 9/10.
He is a great professor, he is very attentive in his lectures and he hopes that we can really master this knowledge.
Easy "A" Tips: don't miss any class, tests are based on the quizzes, quizzes count as attendance.
Terrible, moves very fast. Doesn't have the patience to explain anything. My reason for my GPA drop. Save your GPA, do not take him. He does not offer any Extra Credit.
It is CRUCIAL that you don't miss/be late to class bc he does a quiz every class based on previous topics. He does teach at a fast pace and won't take much time to explain if you don't understand. He'll sometimes give opportunities to make up for bad grades but that's if he feels nice. If you're an easy learner then I guess he's okay to take.
You've gotta come to class EARLY(quiz time). He quizzes his students every class based on what he has taught last class and these quizzes are graded so missing a few classes/arriving late may have a toll in your grade. Lectures are fast-paced, yet thorough. Very lenient in quizzes(will give 10/10 if you show up early), but a tough grader in tests.
Getting A in class shows u have that much knowledge or whatever, i think if you have formula students taking mat 115 can solve problem of cal 1 or cal2 algebrically. but after taking his class i learn that there is mathematical thinking and i feel like i have to retake my all math courses with him. Thanks proff. you changed my view of seeing math.
Most difficult class i took math 120 honor class and this Professor was so demanding and he goes to fast and too many chapters to study. The API we had during the semester didnt even had enough time on the week to provide enough tutoring help. He is not an extra credit Professor and dont go back to explain even you dont understand a topic.
nice professor
The worst professor Laguardia has, he doesnt explain this clearly. He rushes and gives you tons of hw so as he says "you can learn" but he does not see that he has to teach too not only homework helps. Absolutely the worst.
He's absolutely the worst professor I've ever had. The worst.
I took Wang for Calculus 2 a few semesters ago. I felt in over my head. But I have to say, if it wasn't for him I would've never passed Calc 2. He cares more about if you're conceptually learning something than what your grade actually is. Very rare in mathematics. He loves Euler. If you use Euler when applicable, you will be rewarded.
He is one of the best prof I have in lagcc. If you have concerns, he listens. His lectures are not boring. He gave us plenty of materials that we needed for reading and final review Quizzes are challenging but as long as you try he gives you full credits. How awesome is that? If you take his honor class, be prepared to have a lot of papers to write
He is a tough grader prof. I regret taking his class by the time I figure it was too late. He suspicious about exam and quiz that students are sharing their work with each other which is not true. Also he does not go back to if you do not understand the topic. This is only mat class , I did not receive A. Does not care if you miss class n sick.
Just do homework and quiz you will be fine.
He quizzes you every single class. Due to COVID, classes are online, and participation matters. His tests are horribly hard. No one in the class passed. He had to curve the exam by 30 points to make himself look good. He didn't want to curve the exam. He doesn't give extra credit or second chances if you have technical problems.
Easy enough class but professor seems indifferent about students. Inaccessible out of class and looks upset when asking him questions.
He had a lot of quizzes almost daily along with a computer part of the course but as long as you ask questions and practice or review you should be fine especially because he takes time to help. He is a good professor considering the class was also honors making it harder than the average class.
He was great!! I read reviews on the page before registering for the class (and i had no choice), plus i was a bit nervous since MAT 120 is about Math. Then I found nothing to worry about. He tried his best to explain everything. What i like about this class was using R for the first time ^^
Differential equation class is not an easy class, but he is the best for this class. He has a lot of knowledge and is available after classes for extra help. He likes to know more about the students so makes students write an introduction about themself. For this class practice Integration, derivatives,
thought was good at first but refused to help me regardless of my initially good performance/participation. says he wants participation but wont explain questions he deems "irrelevant." felt uncomfortable with his stereotypical examples, repeatedly. quiz every class, insufficient content. DO NOT TAKE if you like critical thinking
If you want to pass this class Be ALWAYS on time/Do your assignments on time. If you are a late person DONOT take this class. If you are not good in mat like me but you want a good grade, be on time and do all the assignments. He is good and always have time at the end for students to ask questions. Extra points for those always in time at the end
I took this MAT 200 for my Business Major. Professor Frank Wang was good and he's patient. My tip is to go to the class regularly and be on time. Show your work in the exam even if you don't have the final solution. Do your homework regularly. Then you're all good!
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.
