I heard during the regular semester he is hard. BUT during summer school...he's pretty laid back and his teachings actually make sense. He's hilarious w/ his real-life stories. Take him in the summer...highly recommended!!

the class was easy ok if you show up everyday and do your homework. the tests were a little tricky and he moved pretty fast. his really random stories kept me laughing the whole semester.... haha! "thats kosher"

This class is a repitition of a high school pre-calc class. He's pretty easy, helpful, and tries his best to make the class intersting instead of full-on lecture or problems. He wants you to pass but you have to be the one to go get the help. Do the homewok cause it's worth more than you think.

THIS IS A MUST TAKE FOR SUMMER ONLY. HE IS VERY QUICK BUT HELPFUL. IF YOU TRY YOU WILL GET A GOOD GRADE. HE MAKES IT EASY FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND AND HE KNOWS TIME IS LIMITED SO HE ONLY TEACHES YOU THE BASICS. DO NOT TAKE HIM DURING REGULAR SEMESTER. HE IS TWICE AS HARD. BE PREPARED TO STUDY, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. HE MAKES THE CLASS FUN WITH HIS JOKES

Wing is one of the most coolest and funniest teacher at SFSU. He knows his stuff and teaches so well. He's very helpful and is there for his students. Do the homework and the exams will be a piece of cake. Make sure you do the homework regularly because he does check but usually lets you know the day before.

Be prepared for a very fast pace.

This professor is very good. He makes things very clear and is very helpful. Take advantage of his office hours and pay attention in class and do the homework and you will be fine. His tests are not that hard just study your notes and review the chap. he discussed in class. I loved this course and the professor!

He is an interesting and stylish teacher. He teaches very fun but hardly to understand. Study the chapters in your book then your tests will be fine.

chew gum in his class and he will go crazy on you. otherwise seems like a normal guy.

Great teacher! He is nice, funny, and tries to explain operations management in a way that the students can understand. It does take a lot of time to understand the material. Do ALL of the homework. It is the best way to prepare for the test. 3 tests, around 6 problems each. Take him over summer! GREAT!!!!

Great teacher. The only class that was worth going to during the whole semester. Easy grader, gives a lot of tests but they are fairly simple, and is pretty funny. Makes the subject interesting. Highly recommended.

He's a nice proffessor.If you are good at math, this class is so easy for you. If you don't like math, should take another professor. There are 3 tests, all of them are solving problems. Understand homeworks and lectures in class, you will get an A easily. Should take his class over summer.

Pit your soul against WING, the leanest, meanest mathmagician at SF State. This man will ROCK YOUR FACE. He's a fuel-injected rocket man. A LION of LEARNING. He WILL NOT STOP until you understand. And if you still don't understand, HE WILL MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND. This class may be too intense for pregnant women and retarded people.

I seriously don't understand some of the comments. This is DS 110. Not Math 226. This is as basic as math can get at the university level. If you're complaining about not being able to understand certain math concepts, it's not Wing's fault, it's you. I hate it when students blame their idiocy and bad study habits on instructors. Read the chapters.

Professor Wing is a good mathematician and is extremely helpful. He does have a tendency to rush through his lectures. On the other hand, if you are having problems with the concepts, do visit the tutoring center. If you are a business major, definitely take this class in lieu of Math 110, because this Calculus class is business based.

Wing is a great teacher. He is very good at explaining and breaking down any problems he assigns. If you do the homework assignments, then you will definitely do well on the test. He's also very approachable and is willing to help students. Highly recommended

Agreed with comment below with this class not being recommended for dumb people. Highly recommended

He is a good teacher when he is not rambling on about something. He is nice and helpful, but not always the easiest to understand. be prepared to teach yourself from the textbook. overall, not too hard.

Wing is a good teacher. He explains the stuff in class. I didn't study for the first test and got a C. I studied for the rest of them and got 100% on most of them. Try not to mess up one of the tests because it is hard to get your grade back up. He checks the hw ten times at random but it is not mandatory. No final, but a test on the last chapter.

If I wasn't always late for his 9:00am class, especially on test days, I could have gotten a better grade. Wing keeps things simple and doesn't abuse the textbook. He teaches thoroughly and really specifies what test problems are going to look like and types of multiple choice answers to sway away from. Yes, people. Multiple choice.

Best Math teacher I ever had.

The other person who reviewed Professor Wing for DS 412 probably didn't study. Professor Wing is an awesome guy, one of my favorite professors, and the class is run with a light atmosphere. If you have a problem, go to his office hours. He's very helpful. It's correct, no curve, no extra credit, but if you go to class and do the homework, it's easy

He is the best math/ds teacher I ever had. Very clear and kept my attention throughout the class. Relates real life stories to the subject to explain applications. Attend class and do the homework to pas the class. Some people have taken DS412 for 4 times. The class is not easy but if you attend and pay attention, you will pass. Take DS412 in summe

He isn't that great, but this class is easier to handle than Math 110 and he is the only option. Tests are multiple choice, by the chapter, no notes and the homework is online.

Great teacher in my eyes hw is online which is extremely easy and you can get 100% on it everytime ill bet you. If you pay attention in class you will understand the material because he explains the material in a much simpler way than the book does.

The class isn't that bad. All the tests are MULTIPLE CHOICE! Every now and again there will be a free response question. His examples are simple and too the point. I did the 8am class so not a lot of people showed up. If you show up every now and again you should pass with a C at least.

If you make an effort you should do well. Just be sure to attend the lectures and do the homework. He's very straightforward, aside from some odd little anecdotes he throws into lectures, and though Wing may appear harsh and pedantic at times, he really does want his students to succeed; he simply won't baby you through the class, that's all.

I think he is a great professor although lots of students gave him a low grade. He cares students and teaches clearly. All the tests are from HW. Make sure you know how to do all the HW, then you can get a A easily. Don't blame on him if you don't do HW and do bad on tests.

R. Wing is a good professor. He really does teach you and doesnt trick you on the test. If you go to his office hour he will really go out of his way to help you. Pay attention in class, do the homework, master the problems, and you will be ok. I dont know why he received a low rating, he is was very friendly and really tried to teach.

Didnt read the book. Didnt do homework. Got a B. He doesnt trick you on exams. As long as you take notes and study them, you will do really well!

I've taken DS 412 more than once and I recommend you take it in the summer with professor Wing. He is clear-cut on what he will test you on the exams. As long as you take good notes from his lectures and do your homework you will understand the material. Go to his office hrs if you don't understand the material, he is helpful.

He is a cool guy, his test are always 20 multiple choices questions. & no final! he may be hard to understand at times because he has his own ways of teaching things, so just look in the book if your lost. i passed every test with a B or above. it's nothing tricky.

Although class isn't mandatory, it would help A LOT if you showed up. he goes over many tricks and shortcuts that you can take that the book doesn't teach you. he shares jokes and everything that relate to the topic that we are learning about. above all, all you need to do is just understand the equations and all that, & you'll do good.

Let me start off with he's actually a very good prof and u do learn(if u go to class).BUT what he teaches u will only help with doing the online hw.The many tests are VERY DIFFICULT and majority of your grade is based off the tests.He is a great person but theres NO EX.CRED and 70% of my class had to withdraw.Dont sign up.Go take MATH110

Professor was really easy. No midterms, no finals, just nothing but chapter quizzes. Homework is online. Mostly shows shortcuts on how to do problems. He may go off topic in the middle of explaining how to do a certain problem.

In the beginning attendance was mandatory. He is super easy. yo just gotta go to class or read the book for the test every other week. there is homework but if you super lazy then that why you don't pass. there is no midterms or finals. got a C but its because i didn't try my fullest. great professor.

Great teacher, he really wants you to understand the material and makes it pretty easy. Online homework and book are very simple, he grades tests quickly and the tests will be exactly like in-class problems. Nice guy too, likes to tell stories, etc. He makes business statistics a lot less scary than it sounds. Fair grader & willing to help you.

Easy class, need the book to pass. Must follow with the chapters and do the online homework to understand. He is not good at explaining things in any other way than what he knows, and he gets very confusing at times. Just do the online HW, he gives chapter tests. No final, no midterms, easy A - just DO THE ONLINE HW!

If you go to class you will be fine. All of his tests are multiple choice and he tells you what will be on the test and what will not. If you only do online homework and don't go to class there will be surprises on the test because he will sometimes teach extra things not included in the book. Overall a fairly straight forward class.

The class wasn't all that easy, but you can learn almost everything from doing the online homework. His lectures go by quickly, because sometimes he tells you his stories about his life. He doesn't explain very good, so you have to make sure you pay attention all the time. Got a B, from averaging a C+ on every test.

Took his summer course and it was intense. I've taken him for ds110, 210 and now 412. He knows his stats, and he is by far the most fair grader I've met at State. Although I couldn't keep up with the class when learning the new material, I left knowing the basics that let me understand the hw material. Three tests, book for hw required.

He is really easy, just go to class, pay attention and actually try. It's all multiple choice

Very engaging and clear. Tells a ton of awkwardly funny jokes, and very helpful when it comes to having to miss class or change exam times.

OKay rick wing was my favorite professor at sfsu. He comes off as a bit intimidating at the beginning of the semester. Because he is a very structured man. But he is probably the funniest and the most entertaining professor I have ever had. He will randomly tell you stories about his child hood. Just do you homework, and try to get to know him.

Rick Wing is a quality DS110 teacher. I took his class and loved how he explained proofs of any formula, and has a real passion for math. I had to take his class twice bc I hadnt taken any math courses in about two years, however his passion for math and having it make sense to everyone who is inside the room.

So although it's not mandatory to come to every single class--I was in a class of maybe 30 and only half come--highly recommend you do and make sure to bring your book because he references it a lot. Very straight forward class, he does tell stories but it's usually fairly related. Great class if you took Calculus, you may struggle if you didn't.

He doesn't try to trick you, and he goes over the material clearly and repetitively to help make it stick for the exams. Just be sure to ask questions if you have them. Also, he gives you your exam grades right when you hand them in, which is possibly the greatest thing ever. He pontificates, but if you pay attention it won't confuse you.

Wing is good professor that I never met. The notes he wrote in class is very helpful if you pay attention. There are 4 exams, and most of them come from HW. However, the HW is NOT REQUIRED, you don't need do if you don't want. The Attendance is NOT mandatory. The best way help you pass the class is to learn together with your classmates.

I just don't understand how he has this low ratings. I took his class in summer, and it was an amazing experience. 4 hours lectures will go too quick, because his teaching methods are excellent. He really knows what he is talking about and his method of explaining it is extra ordinary. His test are very easy, if you do your homework. Go take him.

Very laid back professor. Very clear with his examples. Tests are easy as long as you do the homework. One of the bests professors at SFSU

Very amicable, laid-back, and easy to understand. You don't even feel like you're in school when you take his class because he's so laid back it's almost like you're having a conversation. My only regret is that your grade is from your tests only, not homework: I had a bad test day and my grade dropped a whole letter.

Mr. Wing is the best Math teacher, this class is great if you haven't taken a math class in a while. Homework is online, the platform gives you step by step examples of similar home work questions, you can just change the equation to have your numbers and learn along the way. Every chp has its own test, all multiple choice. You can't fail!

4 tests (usually 5-6 problems) based on the homework and in-class examples. The homework assignments are sometimes changed and he doesn't post updates on iLearn, so you MUST show up to each class. He likes telling stories and relating them to the lecture. Homework is short and easy, just practice until you understand and it's an easy A.

This professor opened my eyes to all the mistakes I had made before and help me become a better overall math student. He takes you through all of the basics so that you can do your best on the exams. Lots of exams (one every 2-3 weeks), but they are short and also help you maximize your average so no need to freak about one failed test.

There's test for every chapters. The grade includes all the tests and the computerized homework. No midterm, no finals. He's very straight forward and Real. If you struggling, be a semi hard worker and go to his office hour. He doesn't play around, hit him up, and he'll solve the question as easy as making noodles. No joke.

He is honestly my favorite professor at SFSU. He is really passionate about his teachings and makes the material easy to understand. If you do the homework you should be able to pass the class with a good grade. His tests are exactly like the homework. The slackers in the class do not like him, but I would say he is definitely more than fair.

Attend class because he gives shortcuts in solving problems. If the book gives 24 steps, he will minimize it to 10 steps. Which leads me to the fact that its hard to skip class. Moreover, he is hard to understand when lecturing because he skips through a lot of material and steps. If confused, just ask him. He will entertain your question.

Rick was a great teacher. DS110 is a hard class but he tries to make it as clear and understandable as possible. I did not get the grade I was hoping for but I wont complain because I know i could have studied a bit more. If you do your homework assignments and ask questions, you will get a good grade. HW same/similar problems as exams

There are tests and homework for every chapter. Tests are similar to computerized homework, if you do your homework and review it before taking tests. Your will get a good grade pass this class. No midterm and no finals. He updates grade immediately after tests, so students know how they are doing.

Super friendly professor. Don't hesitate to ask him questions if you don't understand material. Homework is for practice, never graded. 4 exams no final, exams are not multiple choice but they are fair. Pretty standard class. Study and take exam and attend lectures and you will pass.

Took his DS110 class and it was based on tests for every chapter and the homework was on Pearson. He grades the test right after you take it. There was no midterm or final for his class. Not hard to pass if you study and do all the online homework.

Recommend this professor! He is fair, straightforward on test. If you go to class and learn, you will surely pass with a good grade.

The professor is very good. Although sometimes his method is a little complicated, he is very patient and does his homework infinitely. I think the professor is very nice. I have chosen his class for two consecutive semesters.

He introduces each lesson by explaining how the problems are solved before he lets us try to solve them. He only asks easy questions when he teaches. The textbook & the website (Pearson) we use are helpful and the tests are based on the homework problems. As long as you're engaged with the material, his class will not be a problem at all.

This class is fun, and not that hard. Mr. Wing is nice. If you didn't get it in the class just watch the zoom recording. English is my second language and I'm so bad at math, but I still get about 90% so far.

Highly recommend taking Professor Wing. Im glad I took his class. He is funny, caring, and nice. His lectures are always clear. Lots of examples given to make sure you understand the materials. Open to questions and explain them clearly. Four exams in total, which are pretty easy and straightforward if you do the homework. Book is not required.

One of the best professors at SFSU. The class is well-organized, and the grading system is very clear. The material, though not easy, is doable if you really want to learn.

More tests than average, however, they're short and simple. Uses Pearson. A clear teaching style, allows plenty of time to complete homework. Goes over all material you'll be tested on, if you take notes in class and complete all the homework you'll get an A. Lectures are recorded as well which was useful.

The class itself isn't hard but it was confusing when he did change his grading from average to cumulative towards the middle of the semester. It's pretty easy to pass the class since Pearson gives you many examples and the professor will explain if you ask for help.

Professor Wing is an outstanding person. He is super funny and keeps the class light and fresh, despite the dread of doing calculus. He does like to incorporate the class and ask questions but overall it is to make sure people are paying attention and understand the material. Just stay on top of the homework and prepped for tests and youll be great

He goes over every homework chapter/ uses class time to review for tests. There is no midterm or final in this class, but we do test on every chapter. Funny and chill and lets you use your notes and other online tools to do tests. There are no textbooks we just have to buy this online program that we use to submit assignments.

Professor Wing is such a relatable character. He is always available for questions. Everything is through MyMathLab and tests are mostly assigned for at home. He allows open book and even teaches students how to use Desmos. Take this professor for DS 110!!!!!

Took the class this semester and greatly enjoy it. Very clear on his lecture. Made the material easy to understand. He is very easy to approach. Answer all questions on the timely matter. Exams are base on material taught in the lessons. No trick question. Do the homework, you'll be fine for the exams. 100% love the class and respect the man.

He utilizes Pearson MathLab. Makes himself available during office hours, and after class. Has a cool demeanor, and I could tell that he genuinely wants his students to do well. Offers extra credit, which is nice. I am a returning student and had not taken any "math class" in over 20 years. If I can get an A in this class, YOU CAN.

Professor Wing is a relatable and funny instructor. The class uses MyMathLab and allows open-book tests. Unstuck study was a helpful study tool alongside the textbook. Overall a manageable course if you stay engaged.

Rick Wing is a really chill professor teaching a hectic subject. The class is very fast pace and while the reviews aren't entirely wrong about him assuming you know math you can still ask questions. The homework was usually more difficult than the exams so if you could do the hw you're fine. Overall hectic but not impossible!
