Stopped the class because I left to take a poop. How embarrassing.

he is the worst teacher i have ever encountered. he is the reason i am taking cob 191 again. you cant understand him and he is so unorganized. he will work an entire problem wrong and confuse the hell out of you

horrible. most confusing professor i've ever had. class averages of 50's and 60's on tests, and he doesnt curve. dont take him unless youd like your gpa to suffer. can't understand what he says in class. doesnt clearly explain projects. doesnt write his own tests, and messes up the ones he uses.

This guy gives the business school a bad name. He has no idea how to teach, has to constantly be corrected, doesn't understand the material in his own class, is completely unorganized and confused about what he is doing. He tries to appease his students

HORRIBLE TEACHER!! this class is so incredibly difficult, switch out now before it is too late, unless u are prepared to spent 6 hours a day teaching yourself the information because you will NOT learn it from him. He doesnt even speak english

Listen, I am not the type of person to give a person straight 1's if they don't deserve it. But Ping Wang is the worst teacher I have ever had in my entire life. I would study literally 30 or more hours for every test and not do well on any of them. When he offered students to drop his class free of penalty half way through the year, around 84% of

He is without a doubt the worst teacher I have ever had. He is very difficult to understand. The class is so boring that everyone in the class either talks or just goes to sleep. I attempt to pay attention but it is just impossible. Tests are hard and a lot of work is assigned. There are many projects and long assignments

Extremely hard class! He has a strong accent so it makes the classroom hard. He does not teach material completely and the book is different. Take this class with another professor! He gives no direction on any of his assignments especially projects. Lots of busy work that is time consuming and barely worth anything. Do not take!!!

Nice,Nice,Nice guy.But Horrible prof.Doesn't speak clearly and has a deep thick Chinese accent.The class is hard and half of the class had to drop out.I would strongly advise not take this class, my advisor screwed me over by telling me to work my way through it.Really nice guy, but shouldn't be teaching.He would be a great elem school bus driver.

worst professor ever! I saw him walk into his office once before a test and I went to ask him a question and he acted like he wasnt there. Gave tests on Mon/Weds when I had a Tues/Thurs class. Had mandatory review on a sunday. Class average for 2nd test was a 52. Horrible long homework. Can't understand what he says. Poorly worded questions on test

He is by far the worst teacher ever. All he does is ruins your life for a semester and cruches your gpa at the same time. Do not take him under any circumstances, even if that means not graduating on time. He is absolutely terrible.

How does he still have a job???? Simply mumbles incoherently all class and points at a power point. Was failing his class but have an A now with a diff professor. Literally the worst teacher I've ever taken. No Ping...it's not "ok guys!"

Don't worry - he'll soon be promoted to administration. He'd probably make a good dean (based on what I've seen of other deans).

Hard to understand and goes through material really fast.

Why not use the textbook and tell us more about the concepts?

Let me start by saying, Don't get Ping Wang. But oh no, it seems you've got him? Here's how to survive: 1. do all the busy work. You'll teach yourself and get the cushion points. 2. follow his silly rules. It's not worth arguing. You can't win. 3. get perfect attendance. Not that you'll learn in his class, but it gives you a bonus at the end.

Professor Wang was the worst professor I have ever had. AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.

Worst teacher I've ever taken at JMU. Tells you all the time "if you don't understand material drop the class". Probably told my section to drop the class over 20 times already. Does not care if you succeed. Doesn't help outside of class. I asked if I could meet with him to work on problems for the test and he said it won't help me. DO NOT TAKE!

Avoid and don't recommend. Extremely hard professor for cob 291. Tests are hard and as well as quiz.

Please do NOT take this class. He is perhaps the worst professor in the COB program. The tests are impossible and he does not prepare you for the in-class quizzes either. Everything I learned was from the PASS Sessions.

If you take him do NOT take any other hard classes, he says it all the time. "you will fail if you don't spend at least 3 hours a day studying and working on problems." Very tough and confusing grading scale, get every extra/bonus point possible, go to office hours, and take the course very seriously. His accent is pretty difficult to understand!

WORST PROFESSOR I have had at JMU. His tests are extremely hard and as well as his quizzes. Highly recommend to take this class with other professor.

Not a cool a guy. Horrible teacher.

Some of his suggestions help me a lot, but his lecture, canvas and course pack are so confusing, especially his problems in the exams. If you have any question about the problem in the exam, he refuses to answer any questions. Sometimes his wording problems is a serious problem. And his resources are so old. he's even using the problem in 2008.

Horrible Prof. Very tough grader- right answers that dont show his formulas are wrong, little details can eliminate 50% of a questions credit. Course Pack is the entire class, but it's a joke since he posts answers online. Extra credit does nothing. Went to every class AND PASS session but the way he words his tests are horrible. dont recommend him

Ping Wang does not lecture well. He expects you to work on mystatlab, the course pack, online quizzes, excel projects (which you must provide hard copies for), in class quizzes (assessing what you have gone over that day in class so you must understand the material as it comes to you), and tests. The workload is enormous. Very unorganized professor

If you have the option to not take him, take it because this dude will hurt your GPA and confidence that you can succeed in college, tests are hard and he is awful at teaching your best bet is to find a TA that knows what they're doing.

Please, if you do anything at JMU, do not take this guy. No matter what class you take him for, his curriculum seems almost designed for you to fail. Hes actually a nice guy, just one of the worst professors i've ever encountered. Very stubborn. 191 was damn near impossible with him. Can't even imagine 291.

The only way you pass this guys class, is by attending EVERY SINGLE study session. Those alone can bump you up a full letter grade. Also do the mystatlab as best you can, that helps too. Tests are almost a lost cause, expect a C or lower no matter how much you study.

Dr. Wang is a very nice guy, but his class is ridiculous. You will learn close to nothing and his tests seem to mimic a Graduate class's difficulty. I do not think I gained any real knowledge during the semester. Half the class dropped and I do not blame them. Don't even bother trying to understand his canvas page. Good luck.

Honestly the worst professor I have ever taken.

Difficult material but professor Wang makes it even more difficult to understand. Grade is calculated mostly by Tests but still assigns meaningless online assignments.

You wont get much from the lectures. If you want to pass you need to watch all of the instructional videos he posts online and take notes of those. Basically the lecture he gives is just complimentary to what you have to learn yourself. You still should go to class because you get a lot of extra credit for going to every class.

Makes the material so much harder than it has to be. Great guy but very very bad professor. Save yourself the trouble and take it with someone else

I honestly would not even call Ping Wang a professor. He is intelligent and thinks that his students are on the same level. He offers literally no guidance on projects and lectures are essentially useless. Unless you can 100% teach yourself everything, this class will suck. He offers extra credit if you go to pass sessions 3x a week on top of class

Ping is a very sweet guy but doesn't teach well. I don't think I got higher than a 60 on any of his tests after studying for weeks. You definitely have to teach yourself and grind for a good grade. Had a 88 in canvas but somehow ended with a C. Prepare to be constantly frustrated and feel stupid.

Dude is pretty cool but he doesn't teach anything. He steps in front of the class and reads an example of a problem he already solved. He doesn't tell you what anything means or how he got there, he just throws topics at you and expects you to know them. Tests and gradings are confusing af too. Pretty cool dude, but not a teacher.

Ping Wang has a problem writing his own test questions in a way that makes any sort of sense. This is a severe problem in a stats course in which understanding the question is essential for calculations. Do not take this class it is so bad.

What can I say about Ping Wang that hasn't already been said. Is his accent hard to understand? Yes. Does he teach the concepts and formulas in the most confusing way possible? Maybe. But you can't say his kids didn't run in during class one time. In all seriousness you can teach yourself through the homework if you put the time in.

Very knowledgeable but one of the worst profs for 291. Go to the PASS session if you want any chance if passing. Exam questions are impossible to understand, and the lectures are hard to follow. No doubt he is very talented and smart but his ability to teach is terrible, especially for how much time and money this class costavoid at all cost.

Terrible teacher in my opinion. He has grammar errors on the tests, his grading scale is awful and your tests are significantly harder then others. Just don't go with Wang.

Tests are impossible no matter how hard you study, even with a cheat sheet. Lectures are boring and confusing. Very nice guy but you have to teach yourself in this class there is no other way.

Id leave a lower rating but I cant. Let me just say when I picked him I saw all of the messages saying he was bad but gave him a chance. What a mistake ended up withdrawing from the class. He gives projects with no instructions. He also made fun of my class because our test average was a 58 for the first test. Rather switch my major than have him

dude. do not take this man. avoid at all costs. my entire class is failing and no one knows what is going on. His lectures make no sense.

Ping Wang is caring, compassionate, and obviously very smart. That being said, by far one of the worst professors at JMU. The subject material isnt too bad, but the way he words his test are impossible to understand, his lectures are very fast paced yet somehow tedious and his thick accent obviously doesnt help. Had to teach myself everything

Everything is in broken English and he really doesnt explain anything too well. I look around my class and far too often we are collectively confused. Hes a great guy tho

Professor Wang is a nice person. That said this is the hardest class I have ever taken in my life. Plenty of people are failing and he will be the reason a lot of these kids switch majors and change career paths. This class is supposed to be business analytics, but instead it feels like I have signed up for a rocket science class. Avoid at all cost

Can't understand a word through mask and my entire class was lost for the entirety of every lecture. Barley knows how to use canvas and in a class where wording is extremely important, he had grammatically incorrect attempts at questions on his exams. Asked multiple questions in class and he would answer with something unrelated to what i asked.

I really like Ping Wang as a person and he cares about his students, but this class was incredibly frustrating. You will have to teach yourself everything because his lectures are confusing and assignments are disorganized. He teaches topics that require prior knowledge that you don't have yet unless you teach yourself the chapter before class.

I really like Mr. Wang as a person, and he is the smartest professor I have met. However, he teaches the class as if we already know the material which we don't. Tests are like 75% of your grade and you can't understand him through the mask. The final average was a 37% in our class and he didn't curve!! Good luck.

He just gave us a quiz during spring break and is giving us a test the morning we get back from spring break.

The hardest I have ever taken.This class in general is hard but he did such a poor job explaining the material. He's a nice man and cares about his students. His slides/notes are not helpful and don't make any sense. He expects you to know material he hasn't taught. If he's the last prof available, take the class another time. You've been warned.

He speeds through powerpoint slides at a very quick pace. Gives answers in terms of excel formulas. Flew through an entire chapter in about 20 mins, and skipped half of a key chapter, and proceeds to assign a quiz. Expect quizzes that are meant to "raise your grade" instead of a curve on a test. Thick accent, incorrect grammar.

VERY hard to understand him because of his accent. The tests are not an accurate representation of what he teaches you in class. He is a tough grader and doesn't provide a lot of extra help

Ping Wang has been my worst professor by far. He teaches in such a fast paced, incompressible manner that it is close to impossible to retain any of the information in class. You essentially must teach yourself all the material on your own. He also has an extremely heavy accent that makes it even harder to understand what he is teaching.

Do not take. I tried so hard in this class, but could not understand anything this professor was saying. The lecture notes seemed sporadic and not in order to me. Very difficult, had to withdrawal. Now not even doing business here at JMU.

He is a very nice man but gives the harsh truth. If you are struggling in the class, he will not make an effort to help. The grades you get are what you get. His tests and quizzes are also impossible and do not correlate to the lectures and what he teaches. Avoid him at all costs.

horrible. the material was easy in theory but he really just isn't good at teaching or posing questions. also is the type of prof to blame the class relentlessly when the class average is a 50% (almost always is). confusing grading criteria most of the time. doesn't treat his students as individuals. also randomly calls on people.

Do not take this class unless you want to hate your life 2/7 days of the week. By far the absolute worst class I have ever been a part of. Literally switched my major because of this man. He's a great guy but an awful teacher and I don't know how he hasn't been fired. Not clear at all with how to do his projects. Hard to follow his lectures.

One of the worst professors here. I got a 37% on the first test. He's a nice guy but this class is awful don't take it with him. I had to withdraw from it and he was the reason why I had to change my majors. He also took pictures of the class and gave us all name tags which was weird.

Do not take this professor. The material itself is not too bad if you study but you have to teach everything to yourself. Very strong accent and incorrect grammar. Lectures are so confusing and powerpoints make no sense and are unorganized.

Do not take Dr. Ping Wang. He is hard to understand on tests/he does not offer extra credit. I studied so much for this class and it was not enough. He uses broken English on exams, his slides don't make sense and he doesnt give clear explanation. I attended SSC many times for tutoring and they taught me more than his course. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

The reason I dropped COB. He is not approachable and he does not make any sense. There are 3 exams that impact your grade heavily. Steer clear of Prof. Wang. Worst class I've taken at JMU.

Don't take him. bad about answering questions, he tells you to ask your peers. class attendance counts. tests are very hard, make sure you get the textbook you'll need it, but even then, you'll have to teach yourself the lecture. He's very confusing and bad at explaining things and expects you to just know it. Overall bad teacher.

He is a terrible professor who doesn't teach what's on the test. He goes through slides fast, but doesn't let us have out laptops. Very hard to understand. DO NOT TAKE HIM! average on first exam was a 61% Excel projects are VERY difficult. Broken English on exams and practice problems. Doesn't even answer questions to students correctly!

His lectures are so disorganized as well as his slides. Your grade is mainly based on tests. Students correct him on his examples in class which just makes learning the material that much harder. You do get a single sided cheat sheet on tests but it can be hit or miss. If you have ODS accommodations he will not let you take tests in the ODS office.

If you're required to take cob 191, I'm begging you please pick another professor. Lectures are difficult to follow along with and won't prepare you for the difficulty of the tests. My only saving grace was that I've taken statistics before, otherwise I would've been utterly lost.

He's a nice guy but he has no idea how to teach, he says you need to work on his class 8 hours a week, and you spend that time just on webassigns. He also messes up doing the equations and people point his mistakes out. The best way to do alright is to work out concepts outside of class with friends because his class is impossible to understand.

Professor Wang seems to be a good guy but he is not very helpful when it comes to you asking questions. He gets confused by your questions leaving you more confused. TEST HEAVY... second half of the semester is hard as heck.The online webassign assignments do nothing for your grade which sucks.

the subject is easy but its really hard to understand him with all due respect, you are gonna have to study everything by your own to pass this course with him.

Do not take him. cant understand anything he is saying, his english is broken and is impossible to understand and learn. uncordinated and confusing and never gives a clear answe. second half of the semester is impossible. Last test is on 5 chapters and not prepare you. you will get frustrated that he is allowed to teach.

Ping Wang is a great guy, but an awful instructor. He does not care if you do well in the class or not, refuses to grade month old projects, and is hardly accessible. As if 191 wasn't hard enough, he grades on a 7 point scale, so a 72 is a D+. You will end up having to learn everything on your own, and still be lost on each test.

Ping wang might be the worst professor I have ever come across during my time at JMU. The language barrier first off is extremely rough. Its really hard to understand him. He tests are also close to impossible, as he never actually has an appropriate study guide/recommendations for it. His class is unforgivable. You fall behind? Good luck.

DO NOT TAKE! He is extremely hard to understand and prides himself in failing students out of the class. He assigns work that takes over 6 hours and is not able to answer questions in class to any depth. If his accent isnt hard enough to understand, his grammar and spelling will confuse you for sure. He is not caring.

He might be a nice guy but you cannot understand him. His broken English is very bad and it reflect on the test making the questions very hard to understand. Don't taken unless you are very good at teaching yourself and willing to put in at least 5 hours a day.

Very hard to understand, lectures were all over the place. The slides don't make sense and just overall very unorganized. Exams are terrible, you can never know what to expect even if you ask him. You have to teach yourself. Homework assignments take hours to complete. Office hours help a bit but still confusing. Take someone else.

How is this dude allowed to teach at such an amazing school like JMU. 191 being hard enough and this guy does not help. Avoid at all costs, slow grader, not accessible outside of class, sorry but THICK accent. JMU for how amazing of a school you are my god clean up this dudes class or just remove him from your business program. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

He's a nice person, but he absolutely can NOT teach. His grading scale is very confusing. he changed it many times throughout the year without explaining the changes. His lectures are impossible to understand and follow, and the exams are challenging. You'll have to teach yourself outside of class. If possible take anyone else, if not good luck!

Professor Wang was a very difficult to begin with, but due to the language barrier and the teaching style, this class was made much harder. He is overall a great guy, very funny, and talks about his life experiences, but probably shouldn't teach. Tests were extremely difficult, but he just curved every test by like 20 points.

Did not grade a single assignment given in the 4 week class until the day of his grades being due. Left 7 assignments ungraded at the end of the semester and offered nothing in return basically telling us to deal with it. does not respond to emails. promises bonus assignments but grades them like real. Would write an essay on here if not for limit

Ping Wang teaches everything accept what is on the tests. Most students in my class were taking him for a second time. Exams were very difficult and averages on them were in the 50s-60s range for every single one.

dude speaks 0 english and exams are 70% of your grade and he teaches nothing on the exam so good luck

Exams are worth almost your entire grade and the averages are typically 50 and he does not curve. He barely speaks english and just lectures and you cant read his hand writting. Avoid at all costs

I had to FIGHT for my B+. He simply does not care about teaching or his students. It makes me mad how he is careless and simply shows up because he has to. I dont know why but he loves talking about the china abroad program even though we dont care. Dont bother showing up to class, my B+ was all from chatgpt. Please, do not take him.

Just don't take him. Doesn't go over anything of value in his lectures and assigns assignments with almost no time to complete. His English is awful as well as his hand writing so the only way to pass this course is to learn the material on your own.

Not available out of class. Exams are impossible. Listen to the reviews.

He refuses to give any leeway in terms of his course syllabus. Canvas grades are never accurate because he waits until weeks after assigning work to grade them despite giving multiple assignments per week. Literally tells his classes that ChatGPT is a more useful resource.

worst class I've ever taken DO NOT TAKE LISTEN TO THIS PLEASE!!!
