Easiest class I have ever taken! I did not have much programming experience prior, but I am sure what I had helped. Labs take 30 minutes max. I never went to the actual lab (except for tests), I just did at home & submitted through blackboard. Tests are easy. Know what is on the slides and know all the commands from the Lab! Lab exam is open note.

Great teacher. She is a bit difficult to understand at first, and especially so if you decide to sit there staring at your laptop screen during the entire lecture. I believe part of that was because we were in the bunker and the acoustics down there are horrible. Other than that, the class is great and super easy as long as you do the work.

I took this class along with Bridge to Abstract Math (pretty much same course but harder). Dr. Wang explained the concepts much clearer, exams were extremely easy and allowed a full sheet of notes. There is assigned homework each week but she does quite a few of the problems in class for extra credit.

Explains topics very well, assigned a lil bit too much homework, but gives practice test and test are very straight forward. best teacher ever!!!!

Very helpful and thorough. If you need anything, ask! She always seems happy to explain.

She is not a great lecturer. I wish she wouldn't rush so much, and put more into explaining concepts, so everyone could make the most out of her lectures. She will run! Homeworks are really important to pass here, and they are a lot!. Test are relatively easy, and you can count on support after the class. Self study is extremely important in order to learn something. At the end she is not your enemy, but your friend.

This class is hard to understand if you have had no background in programming. Make the most out of the labs and seek help if you are struggling. If you do well on the labs it brings your grade up a lot. Her written tests are somewhat difficult, but if she sees that you are trying she will help you out with extra credit. She is really nice!

Dr. Wang only administers the lectures while a TA takes care of the labs. The lectures were not super informative but she did go over sample exams which were very helpful. Written exams were tricky but not overly difficult. Labs varied in difficulty while the lab exams were all quite simple. Overall a fun and useful class.

I wish this woman taught more classes. Homework is VERY important, and exams look a lot like the study guides. Her lecture notes filled in the gaps for me many times. Ask for help and you'll get it. Why aren't there more professors like this?

Prof. Wang I know this is your first time teaching this class, and it's not bad for summer season; however, you can do a lot better than that. C language is overwhelming, especially for beginners. Pay more attention to subtleties, and do not rush! Also don't assume that people remember everything, and you're on the way to five stars. It wasn't bad.

Professor Wang was a wonderful teacher. She is wonderfully organized, her testing is very fair and she gets through the material flawlessly. I highly recommend her.

I have had this professor for 2 different classes. She is one of my favorite professors at USF. Her tests are fair and she doesn't throw any curve balls (stuff you didn't study). I would not consider her "easy" but you will learn a lot. As long as you show up to most classes, do all the homework/projects, you will get an A.

Can not comment on lectures because I did not attend any. I can say that the exams were very straightforward. If you do the lab assignments you will have no problem with the tests. Easy A.

Professor Wang is one of my favorite teachers at USF. She was willing to answer questions after class and gave extra credit to those willing to work for it. I will definitely be taking her again.

Very nice and straightforward. She usually explains things clearly (though not always) and she will always help you outside of class if you need it. She always asks for questions and she will answer them well. If you fail her class, then you really deserve it. Heck, if you get less than an A, you deserve it. I hope to take her again.

Wang taught directly from powerpoints ripped from the textbook. She would clarify things if asked though and I found her to be very helpfull outside of class. The TA I had was horrible however and seemed to look for ways to take points off your code.

She's a good professor. Her exams are easy if you take the time to understand the material. I would recommend you do some of the projects at the end of the chapters from the textbook. Also, although not necessary, her lectures are very helpful; she often points out things that are not in the textbook (or not as straightforward).

Take her and her only.

She lectures straight from slides, but she will deviate from them and teach something that isn't included that might help with the projects. She is very helpful if you don't understand and need a good explanation, especially on projects.

Bhargava is the best TA. Prof Wang does her best to make sure the class has understanding before she moves from a subject. I wish she did more in class programming examples, she started the semester this way then stopped. Final was NOT like other 2 exams, much harder and not like the review she gave (other 2 exams were exactly like the reviews).

Pretty straightforward professor. Homework every week, but it's easy if you know the material.

Don't buy the book for this class, the Powerpoints cover everything you need. I didn't realize this class even had a book till mid-semester. You don't have to show up to class or the lab. Extremely cool.

Extremely patient, very reasonable, easy to talk to and has a great understanding of what she teaches. Don't need the book she will actually teach you the material.

Very caring professor. She goes out of her way to take care of students and not try to "weed-out" people from the Engineering College like most professors seem to do.

This was my first programming class ever and I found it very fun and challenging. This professor talks very low so it helps to sit up front for the lectures. Going to the lab isn't mandatory and you can do them from home which I thought was pretty cool.

This class is not hard. Make sure you get the textbook.!!!!! Get it from BookHolders. The used copies are very affordable and they are still in good condition. The assignments are not difficult. The exams are easy if you do the weekly labs and maybe do some practice programs that are suggested at the end of each chapter. -CompSci Major

I came in with some Programming experience, but she gave very simple examples and really makes it easy to learn if you listen to her in lecture. Even if you dont go to lecture the textbook should walk you through the class. Assignments are weekly and easy. Tests are fair, and the lab exams count towards the class grade. EASY A if you go to lecture

Although she gives practice tests easier than real tests, she is a nice person. She is helpful and kind.

You can tell she puts effort into her lectures but sometimes the examples or comparisons she comes up with come off as strange or vague. The projects are a total cakewalk if you're into programming and don't require much reading, but the exams do because there are some nuances in the textbook that aren't really mentioned in class.

I took Jing for 3 different classes while at USF for a reason. She is a great teacher. Don't be afraid about accents, she speaks pretty clearly. She is very well respected by students, helpful, and has a way of making her class enjoyable. If I ever miss her class, I honestly will feel bad about it. She will remember your face, in a good way.

Jing is the best teacher at USF. Highly recommend for any class she teaches from Computer Animation to Ethics to Programming Concepts. Always will learn something from her, and she is very easy to talk to. Attendance is key, if she sees you're putting in the effort, she will remember. Jing is necessary for your Compuer Science/Engineer survival.

Professor Wang is definitely one of my favorite professors in USF. As long as you go to class, review her example programs/powerpoints, and ask her any questions on material you're unsure of, you'll do fine in her class. The tests make up most of your grade, even more than the projects, so be sure to study hard before her exams.

Assignments can be completed in under an hour. Tests really aren't that hard; they follow the practice tests extremely well. Make sure your programs compile under C89 (err, actually gnu90, which is the default for gcc), or else you will receive a 0 for that assignment. Otherwise, she's a forgiving grader, and is always available for help.

I W/D her class & that's b/c it was my fault, you have to invest a lot of time to get a good grade, which is a good thing b/c she prepares you well for future courses which go into more depth. She was very helpful and actually wanted me to pass since I W/D, just study from her optional HW, proj, & past proj from other students that took her class.

I really like how she structures her classes where you have time to work on your programs after the lectures and she has small exercises to help you become acquainted with the programming skills. Her accent is not bad at all and I can understand her clearly a majority of the time.

Every class has a lecture and a non-graded exercise. Projects are straight forward with a little too much hand-holding sometimes. Weekly projects, 11 in total. Don't bother buying the textbook, the posted lecture PowerPoints are good enough. Also beware midterm and final are on Saturdays. Wang is great and helpful with explanations.

The material in class is easy, but her exams are difficult. Free from, easy and multiple choice, tricky. So practice problems in the book and then remember the main concepts of chapters. The projects you do every week is not enough to get the tricky multiple choice on the exams. The projects do make you understand basic C language concepts.

Dr. Wang was very accessible and helpful throughout the semester. I learned a LOT about programming in C from her. Her Canvas lectures were easy to understand and paired really nicely with the textbook. If you read the chapters and complete the homework/projects, you will do well on your quizzes/tests. The last project was a BEAST--start it early!

I think professor Wang does mean well, and she does want to teach the material correctly. However, I'm sure that the online transition is tough for us and the professors. She confessed to us that the midterm had a lower average than previous years but no curve. very tough class so make sure you READ the textbook and do not chegg the projects!

I believe she taught fine, especially during a pandemic. She went over a PowerPoint of what is to be learned and periodically asked if students needed clarification on the material. The projects, quizzes, and exams were very fair. Something helpful that guided me through this class was the textbook, however reading it was optional.

Jing taught my first calculus course I've ever taken, and I've been loyal to her ever since taking her courses from calc 1 to calc 3. She's very stern with grading, but very fair, and I think she's the #1 goto professor for anyone seriously interested in learning math. It'll be a tough ride, but I've never met anyone so passionate about their craft

Lectures are quite good. Material is in C and not horrible. Talks for 1h and does inclass problems for remainder. Exams are similar to past years so easy to study for. Ratings are lower bc this is a weed-out class and some ppl just cant cut it but Jing is a better prof than others. Projects are almost completion. 3% extra credit to final grade. 4/5

She did a great job in teaching this course. The class is very easy, as she provides tutorials that can be referenced in the main project that is being developed throughout the entire semester. This class is strongly group-based, therefore, it can either be a great or bad experience. However, Dr. Wang does a great job managing the teams.

She is a very understanding professor who will work with you. The material wasn't too challenging but make sure to pay attention in class to not only what she says, but her coding examples as they appear more often than not on the exams.

Dr. Wang is pretty good. She is very flexible if you need help with anything outside of class and provides good material to learn throughout the class.

Dr. Wang is the best professor I've ever had. She's very reasonable and responds super fast. You can tell she knows the material very well and is passionate about it. I wish I could take more classes with her. The projects were a bit tough, but there are several TA's that can help throughout the week. She has practice tests too which helped a lot!

Professor Wang is an amazing teacher. Her lectures are always clear to understand, and she clearly explains everything. She's clearly passionate about the subject, and is always willing to help students! She makes the material fun and easy to learn. 100% would recommend her.

The best part of the class is TAs and the extra credit opportunity. You have plenty of time to go over the coding in class, and the extra credit opportunity enabled me to get an A on the course! One important note is that there are sometimes is looking "trick" questions that might be the reason you lose lots of points on an exam,be careful of that!

Mrs. Wang is very caring and helped me out a tremendous amount when I took her class. I would recommend attending the Peer Leading sessions too!

Dr. Wang is extremely talented and works hard to simplify C programming. She uses a variety of examples that are interesting. The biggest problem is that she is not very audible. You may need to sit at the front. However, she has in class exercises, great ppt slides, and exams that are easy if you read the slides and do the practice exam.

She is one of the best professors in the program. While her lectures are pretty fast, she will always clarify confusion when you ask her questions. Her powerpoints are concise and the exams actually contain the information we learn from the practice and lectures. Definitely take her.

Professor Wang is an awesome professor who teaches well. Her in-class coding examples are super helpful and you're welcome to ask any questions. She gives practice exams and will explain the structure of each exam. Make sure you attend the online peer-leading sessions! It is optional but they give extra credit and they're taught by former students.

Dr Wang is very dedicated and respected in her field, she answers your questions and can be reached out during office hours. The exams and homework assignments were quite difficult but she explained complex concepts really well to give you all the tools to succeed.

The grades mainly consist of programming projects and tests. Read the PowerPoint slides as they align well with the course projects and tests. complete the projects early as they comprise a large part of your grade. Complete the practice exam as the concepts are similar to the actual test. Attend the recitation sessions for extra credit.

She is a very caring person and helps students when needed. I like her a lot and wish I could take more her classes.

Professor Wang is a great teacher who tries to make a weed-out course as easy as possible. The course is very test heavy, (the final is 35% of your grade) but if you attend all the classes, do the in-class coding examples/exercises, and solve textbook problems you shouldn't have any trouble passing this class. She's also very understanding!

She is great! if you pay attention in class, do the projects with time and study the practice exams this class is an easy A. I learned so much also

One of the best professors in the CS/CE department. She is super knowledgeable about the material and tries to simplify every topic. Make sure you pay attention to pointers in C, and the content near the end of the course. Utilize the TA recitations, practice exams, and the PowerPoints to earn a good grade.

I loved Professor Jing. Any problems I had were related to the difficulty of the class rather than her. A great professor for those who just are taking it for the grade. She spends 3/4 of the class going over the material and then the last 1/4 of the time is an example problem for the class to do. Exams are HARD, attend recitations for the EC

This class in general is difficult, needing a B. Her lectures are great, last 20 minutes of class is your own programming exercise from content just learned. Exams are HARD, make sure to understand and be able to write code, read questions carefully, code tracing questions/finding output are all or nothing, attend peer leadings for 3% EC

Exams easy if you practice, hard if you don't. Typically had a few trick questions but TAs were lenient with FRQ portions and allowed regrade requests. Extra credit was offered (couple percent added to final grade) in various ways. Lectures were not mandatory but I found very useful and survived mostly off those and the mini coding projects.
