She gave great lectures. However she's really strict on attendance. I was sick and missed to many classes and she dropped me from the course midway. I still think she's a good math teacher and I recommend her to anyone that is looking to take a math class. She's helpful and easy to understand. You can do well if you put some effort in her class.

P. Wang is organized, clear, & does not waste time (E.B.I. she gave the class time to write down the notes). D2L was helpful; I knew exactly why & what my grade was. This class helped me understand the material intuitively rather than just memorizing formulas. If you’re serious about math, I recommend her. P.S. a grade is earned, not given.

If you do not have a strong math background, consider a different professor if possible. Ms Wang goes at a quick pace and doesn't slow down for students. she encourages the math lab but it doesn't guarantee a decent grade. if you have to take this class, you will need to spend time outside of class to understand the materials in order to pass

Prof Wang was a no nonsense teacher. Which for a math class is a good thing. Show up, take notes, ask questions and she is your friend. This is not a class to take with your friends for she HATES all talking during class lecture and will make you leave. She was approachable, had office hours, and was accommodating.

I mean, it's a math class so you're not going to get a light work load. Weekly quizzes, 4 tests, and a final exam. Homework is just graded on whether you've done all problems or not. Tests are very understanding, you could get every question wrong but the ideas right and get a C. Won't give a zero for flipping a sign or copying an equation wrong.

Shes very clear in her lectures and the tests questions are based on applying all the skills youve learned. She will pause her lecture to answer any questions you have and if you need extra help outside of class she is there for you. She does have quizzes at the beginning of class so you cant be late/absent. Gives partial credit for processes.

I'm really confused as to why Prof. Wang's rating is so low. She's a nice, intelligent professor that is encouraging & accessible during office hours. The quizzes are almost identical to the homework, which isn't due, but it'd be wise to do the problems regardless. She grades quickly, offers partial credit, & is one of my preferred math professors.

Calc 2 is notably the hardest of the sequence. Professor provides MANY resources in her modules to practice for quizzes and exams. She works from the textbook and so study guides aren't necessary just redo a bunch of hw problems. She does give out study guides though. HW is optional but critical for success in any math class.

She's a decent professor to say the least. If you know how to study math, you should be fine. However if you require extra time to grasp concepts, stay away from her.
