super prof...funny...helpful...good tests

knows how to teach...explains and gives ex.s

Very nice and helpful. Obviously and extremely intelligent man.

he is very helpful if you go to his office..his english you get used to very quickly

The man is extremely intellegent yet has a great sense of humor. Never met someone that smart and that funny. He even laughed along with me once when I made fun of the way he said something. If you listen to him and go to class, you'll know calculus.

A great prof! Intelligent, funny, cares about his students. Lots of examples and fair tests. Still one of my favorite teachers

I liked Ping as a prof! He was a pretty good teacher with an excellent sense of humor, which is always a bonus to have in a prof! Weekly tests are sketchy, but you end up knowing exactly what will be on future exams.

HE is a very funny and helpful prof. Can be a little overexpectant, but overall he is really good. He makes you not want to dissapoint him.

Wikid prof. His students tend to understand things better then one taking n e other proff. He knows his stuff and after a year with him, you will too!

awesome prof, if you learn math in an abstract way. those who like broken-down steps might have troubles, if so take apaloo. but he is very funny, teases students alot, brilliant man, and he marks waaaay easier than other math profs!

A little hard to understand sometimes but always willing to answer questions and to give help, out of class

He's halarious. He was my only teacher besides Buckland-Nicks that had a sense of humor. Good Guy.

I love Ping !!! All of his tests are from class, so if you go to class, you'll find all of his quizzes pretty easy. If you go to class, he makes a point of helping you.

funny man..... liked the course.... english not the greatest, but understandable.... terrible writing (but what math teacher has good writing??) overall goodness associated w/ this prof....

ping is the man. loves sport and math. greatest prof outside of class, i've continued to talk to him all thru university even tho i only took one class with him.

p wang is the man. best 111/112 teacher

Ping Wang is a great guy. He told our class it was great and we know how to learn. You go to class and do work in it, helping you understand and learn the problems better. The quizzes are fairly simple. Jokes around, drawings are hilarious. Told our class he really enjoyed having us and we are probabyl the best class he's had. Definately take him!

best calc teacher out of them all

Great guy. If considering taking first year calculus deffinetly go with pwang. Very helpful on one on one. Quizzes are fair. Redo all assignments for final exams.

Ping is the bomb

Sure, that Newton guy got the credit for Calculus, but trust me PWang is much better. He always has a smile on his face in lecture, and I did too thanks to his brilliant humor. He works through examples clearly and fields questions, making sure everyone knows whats going on. I really look forward to taking another course from him.

I am the guy loves his course. It is not a easy course, but he made it very interesting. But you do need study hard to get a good mark.

Goes at a good pace, explains things well. Can sometimes be a little insulting to students but it's just his sense of humor. Lots of examples from the book help with assignments.

PDubs is a great prof. Explains things well to people who understand principles of math. Follows a lot of the work out of the book. Missing one class will make you fall behind. Quizzes are directly from assignments on his site, (always the even numbers) and are always returned quickly. The Final was difficult, 20% of work from last 3 days of class.

Mostly discards lecturing and theory in favour of having the class work problems and then go over them - the best way to learn. Stellar calculus prof and person.

I've been through Calculus with him and I knew what to expect, but typically business students find him difficult. Attendance is key, just go and he'll hand you 50% of questions from the exam/midterms. The other 50% is pretty much from the labs. People fail this class because he expects you to DO work, which business students are always ready for.

Pretty awesome prof. Clear explanations (often clearer than the textbook), helpful in class. Spent a lot of time making fun of the business students which I appreciated. Piece of cake course if you've taken Math 11 and don't spend every class staring at your cell phone.

I'm a business student and I have taken his math 205 and math 277 last semester, the results are all above 90, and I think this because I'm following his way. So my suggestion is: taking NOTES at every class and especially pay attention to the EXAMPLES he give at class, because this is ALLLLL the test questions come from!!!

This is my 4th class with the guy, (Calc 1/2, Business math) so I knew what to expect. Go to class, listen to examples and do his assignments. Chances are, you'll see the exact same questions on the midterms/final. Always avaible to talk to in his office and always willing to lend a hand. Great prof with a good sense of humor.

Very good at teaching, despite is strong accent. His class is the kind you do AWESOME at if you go to class, but will not do good at all if you skip class. If you take him you will do great, provided that you go to class. Recommended.

Easy course if you attend, Ping gives you all of the questions which he uses on the midterms and exam in the labs and in class. Tends to pick favorites and if you're not a favorite it can be difficult to talk to him. He's a smart guy and teaches well, but doesn't understand that some people learn differently.

Great Prof, really wants the students to do well, found him extremely helpful and his analogies are hilarious!

He's a great guy and he makes you laugh. It makes Calculus a bit easier. A little hard to understand though through his accent.

Calculus is not an easy course to do well in, but Ping is more than willing to help out students who come to him looking for assistance. Many of his examples show up again on quizzes and exams, and overall he is a good prof who cares about his students.

He is a great prof who gives examples that are very similar to exam questions. He's a little hard to understand, but other than that he's a reasonable guy who's always ready to help!

My favourite prof at St FX. Really nice guy who's always willing to help, since calculus is a tough course he bases his lectures with a lot of examples. A lot of those examples will be on the midterm or something very close. If you're ever having trouble in the class go see him! Take it from a math major!

Such a funny prof. Thick accent but a few, "wait whats?" will clarify. He is very approachable and makes me want to attend his classes. Great guy, really knows his math.

Ping Wang can be hated by some, and loved by others. GO TO CLASS. Ping loves attendance and participation and if you get to know him he will give you lots of help in first year math courses. If you don't go to class, he has little sympathy for you when you need a certain mark.

He's absolutely hilarious, and makes class interesting for sure. He does move quickly through the material, but show up to class, and especially to the lab assignments, and you can definitely get an A. Most students don't look at the practice questions on Moodle, but they're basically what the midterm & final are made up of. Great guy, total sav

Ping is and will always be my absolute favourite prof I have ever had. Although many would probably disagree with me he really is a great teacher. He teaches math by examples on the board instead of power points so there is no notes online but it only makes you understand the class more. "if you passed grade 2, you can pass this class" -Ping

As I remember it, Ping Wang's calculus class was my first class on my first day at StFX back in 1998. He was an excellent prof and a super-nice and very funny guy. I came in with a decent calculus background already, but I thought he did a pretty good job of explaining everything beyond what I already knew.

Best professor have ever attended his class.

Ping is a super funny and caring guy, if you show up to all of his classes and participate during he will be more than willing to help you out. People find him cold and not approachable but that's just his sense of humor if you do the work and look at the practice questions on Moodle outside of class you should be fine.

Ping is a unique guy. expects a lot from first year students and expects you to work for it. StFx is known for having professors who mark easy and baby their students. Ping is not this teaches like any large university prof would. Very hard Midterm and exam. comes off as a little crazy, if you get to know him your mark will be better go to office

honest, knowledgeable and wants students to particpate in class. love this guy

If you go to class and ask questions when you don't understand, it is an extremely easy class. Ping is a great guy who wants his hard working students to succeed, but has no problem passing lazy students with 50s. He is very resourceful and a great prof!

Overall Ping is a great guy that probably isn't for everyone. He is brutally honest and has a good sense of humor which gives keeps lectures entertaining. I found that he could fly through material a little too quickly at some points and would call students out for not paying attention/asking stupid questions, which I honestly thought was comical.

A lot of people don't like him but that's just because they are bad at math. He is very blunt and will tell you if you do something wrong or ask a dumb question. He gives me a reason to wake up in the morning and as long as you pay attention in class and do the practice questions you will have no problems.
