Very good very good. Enjoyed lecture and labs very good.
Took this class to get credit to graduate. Dr. Wang is probably my favorite teacher here at CSUDH, and he should be yours too. Every lecture was innovative, engaging, and highly informative. Always responds quickly to emails and answers them the best way he can. He is super smart and super helpful!
best, great teacher
He's a pretty nice guy, but take someone else for lab class. Really thick accent, hard to understand what he says at times. Gives a sample lab report but doesn't explain what exactly he wants you to say about the experiment and docks points for not having enough "details." Tries to make you do the next pre lab before leaving class.
Excellent professor, best I met at CSUDH
Honestly one of the best professors I have had at CSUDH. He's very friendly and willing to help outside of class and during breaks. As long as you stay on top of things from the beginning, you are guaranteed to pass. Very nice guy, although he is not native English ...
one of the best prof at CSUDH
EXTREME disorganization. I've never seen such a confusing syllabus. Do not follow manual directions, just his - if you can even understand him! Quizzes on material that hasn't been covered and he does NOT coordinate his expectations of what you know from lecture. I have 93% in lecture, D in lab, because I can't understand what is due when.
Prof. Wang is one of the best professors at CSUDH. Not only he cares about his students, his lectures are amazing! His class reviews all concepts. It's a must take class if you want to score high on MCAT!
I took this guy twice and regretted it completely. Had him for chem 108 lab. Thick accent and a tough grader. Grading of lab reports were inconsistent. The material itself is not hard at all but like I said, he is not clear on what he expects on his reports. When I ask for feedback, he says check the syllabus. Not helpful at all. Don't take him.
Wonderful instructor, he cares us, know chem super well. Always help if you contact him. This Sp, we moved to online. He did well. I am very happy!
He is very clear on what he is teaching. He gave handout etc, he emphasizes the important parts of lab so you are aware. He repeats important parts for students to master easily. He links lab to daily life.
I can see his passion for teaching. Great Professor, help a lot, you can get help out of the classroom too.
I struggled keeping up with other chem profs because they moved too fast for me. Sen takes his time to go through the material which was extremely helpful in actually learning and absorbing the info instead of rushing to write everything down if you ask. Highly recommended! Free ask as long as you love studies.
He is a really great lab professor. While his accent is thick you get used to it. He lectures the class on Thurs before his quizzes and gives an easy explanation of the quiz. Quizzes and Lab grades are fair and not difficult. Great guy overall
Prof. Wang is one of the best professors at CSUDH. Not only he cares about his students, his lectures are amazing, even English is his native language. He links topic to your daily life chemistry.
While his accent is thick you get used to it. He gives an easy explanation for chemistry and help us a lot. If you like science and studies, he is great instructor.
He knows how to explain the procedure and provides his own procedure if one wants to follow his or the lab manual. He has a strong accent but will repeat himself He always help you if needed.
Mr. Wang is my favorite chemistry professor. I do recommend him. I wish he could teach my o-chem with him too. He is very nice, smart and funny. Do not hesitate to ask but he doesn't you give answer easily. Think more, ask more. He helps a lot without telling you the answer( that's amazing). He is very good at learning!
Professor Wang is amazing. He cares so much about his students and is willing to take time out of his busy schedule to help. Very knowledgable man who links lecture to your life event. I would definitely take his class again. The final is very very important. Do well on the final. It was a Christmas miracle but I got an A .
I have taken Professor Wang for two lab and lecture! You are responsible for showing up on time, attendance is CRUCIAL! With that being said, there are quizzes, exams. He is caring and I loved taking his courses. You do have to work for it.
Wouldn't recommend him for labs. He isn't considerate of the Covid situation. During quizzes, you have exactly 15 mins to download, work, and submit. During that time if your wifi fails he won't care bc you were aware of the quiz. Very disorganized on the content and unclear during lecture/labs. He has a thick accent which was hard to understand.
Prof. Wang is the best chemistry teacher I've ever had. He explains the material well and clear; she's passionate and knowledgeable about the subject, and hilarious. He wants students to understand chemistry. Very help if you ask.
I took him iFall2020, so I got to experience his teaching online. Love this guy! He is so nice. He does like to tease students but he's the best. A lot of us actually enjoyed going to lab instead of online. Also, he's super understanding about our situations with the pandemic going on. 100% recommend
Amazing Professor. Wang will tell you from time to time some stuff that related to our life and health. He repetitively goes over topics when he sees that people don't understand it, and that has definitely helped me. He's also very approachable and very helpful during office hours & after the class . He's really nice!
Amazing transition to online during this pandemic - uploaded her lectures to blackboard, provided all materials, video suggestions, and managed to stay on track for quizzes and final exa. Clear and concise . He will NEVER make you feel dumb for asking a question. Easy! I learned a LOT. Wang's my favorite teacher at CSUDH.
The work of the class scale properly with what is expected at this level. The report and prelab are actually meaningful and not busywork as it actually helps with the quizzes and there are videos to show exactly how to do the lab reports. Good instructor!
Amazing online instructor during this pandemic - uploaded everything to BB, provided annotated ppts, BB videos and his lecture records. He links chemistry to life examples. He's my favorite teacher at CSUDH. Take his calss!
The lectures & homework are on blackboard. I recommend reading the manual & materials D.r Wang posted for the labs before the class. so you don't fall behind. Work on them before a strict deadline! They're worth. Always ask him for help. He is very helpful and smart teacher!
Professor Wang is an excellent teacher. He made sure to explain everything in depth and was always available is we needed. This course is not for a letter grade so it will not affect your GPA. As long as you do well on your lecture and your lab reports in this class you will do good, he gives a lot of examples from our daily life... He loved us.
I dont understand why he has good ratings. Grades really hard, no one has gotten a full score. Accent is heavy but you get used to it. Isnt really understanding about technology issues, I dont suggest taking him online
His zoom lectures are very good in terms of being full of practice and focusing on just the key points of the lab and theory. He always help if you reach him and ask. He did push you to put time and learn, rather than giving points for no reason. I will say he is one of the best. He links chemistry to human life example.
Wang is one of the best professors ! He's very passionate about science and he likes to engage with his students. Don't be afraid to ask him questions because he will help. His lectures are easy to follow, although he did not speak native English, he includes lots of examples. Take him!
Dont ever take him. He doesnt give clear feedback when grading and his notes are messy.
Most of my peers had the same issues for his lab. I would not recommend this professor for labs, he is rude when emailing and it is very hard to understand his feedback. It was also hard to ask questions because he was just plain rude. This class was very frustrating and I regret choosing this professor.
NEVER TAKE THIS PROF. This prof is never specific when it comes to what he wants on the lab reports, he is very rude when you ask for help, and he is very inconsiderate when it comes to quizzes. 30 minutes to download, finish, and submit your quiz. If you have a tech issue, its your fault. Again, NEVER take this professor under any circumstance.
Wang is one of the best professors of CSUDH! He's very passionate about the biochem and he likes to engage with us. Don't be afraid to ask him for help because he will help you without hesitation. His lectures are easy to follow, he includes lots of examples, and is very clear on what he is looking for in assignments. Take him!
TAKE THIS PROF. Wang is specific when it comes to what we need do on the lab reports, he is very nice when you ask for help, Always if you need. Take him.
He was by far the hardest Professor I had taken not because the material was hard but because of how strict, specific and hard it was to understand his class. Take your own notes!! Pay close attention to everything! He is very strict on sig figs. If a question is 1/4 wrong the whole question is wrong.
Worst professor ever. Does not and never gives a clear reason why he deducted points from your lab report. On the pre lab, if you get a question wrong he just tells you "x" beside the question number you got wrong then won't tell you why. Then if you ask him why it was wrong, he tells you look at the lab manual and study before doing it, never take
if you are looking for a good chem108 professor, you go with lihung pu. She is very patient with her students and is understanding during our virtual classroom times unlike sen. He cant even give us a day and a half to do a quiz and only gives us 35 minutes regardless if online hiccups happen. He also rudely responds to emails, which wasn't cool :(
dont ever take this professor. he says its ok to ask questions, but when you ask he replies in a rude and very angry manner. he also never tells you what you did wrong on the lab reports so you will never get a full score. for the prelab, if you make a simple mistake, the entire question is wrong so it already is 3/5 points. take someone else
Wang was impossible to understand. The "notes" he gives are just a bunch of random stuff or chicken scratch put on a word doc. Its not even on a slide presentation with bullet points so it just flat out makes no sense. You will regret taking this professor so avoid at all costs
this class was ridiculously hard. not so much the content, but because of the way the professor taught it. he only gave 30 minutes EXACT to work on them. they varied from 5-10 questions, and some required that work be shown which takes quite some time for some problems. for one quiz, he expected you to DRAW on a WORD DOC when its impossible to do
lectures are very good in terms of being full of practice and focusing one key points . He is nice and help, quiz only 4-5 questions. easy.
His zoom lectures are very good in terms of being full of practice and focusing on just the key points of what we need. He is understanding of situations if you can prove him, and will take into consideration things if you go out and reach to him with paperwork. He helped you a lot of after the class if you needed.
This professor was so unclear when it came to grading, even more so during his "lectures" which was just words on a word doc with no context behind them. They made 0 sense, and the professor doesnt explain a thing. He makes sure you never get a perfect 10 on the lab reports, he just deducts for no reason. Dont ever take wang, you WILL regret it
if you take this professor, you will straight up REGRET it no cap. he deducts points from your lab report even if you included the thing he claims "you didnt mention". for quizzes, only gives 30 minutes to TYPE out your work and nothing handwritten. if a tech issue happens, in his POV, its your fault so you get a 0, when its OBV not your fault.
Excellent, helpful, nice!
he is a clear passion for Chemistry and teaches in a manner that inspires students. he communicates concept well, and is always willing to help in all areas of his expertise. I was hesitant to take this class, but I'm glad I did. He is easily in my top 2 best professors. GIVES GOOD FEEDBACK!!
I got to experience his teaching in person and online. Love this guy! He is so nice. Like in an older review, he does like to tease students but he's the best. A lot of us actually enjoyed going to lab . Also, he's super understanding about our situations with the pandemic going on. 100% recommend!!
Wonderful instructor, very helpful If you like to study and pursue a good career, he is good. If you do not study, and cry for points, be away.
He is an excellent teacher as long as you put time and ask question. Easy to get A+!! He is fair too.
He is very kind and he likes to tease students, which makes you feel more comfortable going to him for any questions that you may have. He does say he expects 2-3 pages for the lab report but the most pages I have ever gotten was 10/10, would recommend using the lab book to help write your reports. Overall, great, friendly professor.
I took a introduction level chemistry course at CSULB. But I know Professor Wang at CSUDH as well. Professor Wang is amazing. if you're in between choosing professors CHOOSE Him. i took this course for Sp 2021 during the pandemic. His classes were synchronous with everything explained perfectly. very organized. fairly grade too. Also help if asked
Very good professor and easy class. He gave 35 minutes quiz for 5 min quiz. The work and difficulty of the class scale properly with what is expected at this level. The report is actually meaningful and not busywork
I was nervous about Chem. If you ask everyone they will tell you chem is hard. I loved Wang's class. Professor Wang encourages you to ask questions online. Take him and put time! you wont regret it.
He is very kind and he does like to help students, which makes you feel more comfortable going to him for any questions. Overall, great, friendly and helpful professor.
The lectures & homework are all online. You meet once a week for lab. I recommend reading the manual & writing to-do lists for the labs beforehand so you don't waste time & fall behind, although Dr. Wang will repeat during the zoom. He is very helpful if you contact.
Very nice instructor, you will pass and do well if you spend time!
I took him in Fall 2021, so I got to experience his teaching online. Love this guy! He is so nice. He does like to tease students but he's the best. A lot of us actually enjoyed going to online lab that will link to your daily life.
Avoid if you can. Lectures dont help with the material gets more confusing and complicated as the semester continued
Dont take him. He is very confusing. He may be accessible outside class and responds quickly but his lectures are boring and you wont understand anything.
I got to experience his teaching online. Love this guy! He is so nice. A lot of us actually enjoyed going to lab instead of dreading it. Also, he's super understanding about our situations with the pandemic going on. 100% recommend!
The best chemistry teacher I've ever had. He explains the material clear; he's passionate and knowledgeable about the subject, patient, and hilarious. He wants students to understand chemistry. The class is easy, nice if you study.
Nice guy, very helpful! Merry Christamas to Prof. Wang
Took him during fall course during COVID. There's no exams except the final which is equal to a quiz. Report must submitted through online portal (no purchase required) Very helpful, reach him when you need, study and study, you get.
I took lab with Dr. Wang online course. The stimulation was easy to use. Learned a lot. It was actually fun. Although we didnt get to meet him, he did post lab study material, which was great. He helped you if you ask, wrote a letter for my aplication. Take him. You wont regret it.
Professor's lectures are clear and easy to understand, also organized. Make sure don't miss the class and read his materials on BB carefully, it will help to pass. Also, he really cares his students for safety in the lab. Ask if you need.
he is very helpful and learn a lot if you listen.
His lectures are helpful in terms of being full of practice and focusing on just the key points. He is understanding of situations and will take into consideration things if you go out and reach to him, gave him details. He will help. He pushed us and hoped we are doing well, although he did not speak native English.
He has a clear passion for chemistry and it's obvious that he enjoys working with students. His approach makes you want to do your very best in this very easy course, and everyone who meets her high standards can get a good grade. He is consistent about it for everyone. Every assignment is due after 1 week. If you like to learn, take his.
He was alright. Not much effort was shown that he cared for the class. Labs and homework wasn't anything too hard.
His accent makes it hard to understand him. And he goes fast through his lectures.
He cares us, and very helpful, the class is easy, although chemistry is hard itself. Ask if you need any help.
Chemistry is hard, but I'd advice you take Wang because of his teaching style and the resources he provides. He goes over detail examples to put the topic and he posted all on BB He also cares about his students success. Come to his office if you need or he ask.
Professor Wang is a very easy A! all assignments are straight from the manual or what he told. . He's also super sweet and very understanding chemistry and biochemistry. I would 100% recommend this Professor!
Amazing chemistry professor! Very passionate about what he teaches and cares about students.
Very good professor, he can link the topic to examples of our life. Easy class, easy points. One of best at CSUDH., I met.
Great professor, very encouraging. Cares about students and helps you understand what to do. Accent can make him hard to understand at times but very good overall.
This professor doesnt know how to teach. Please dont even bother signing up to take this guy because you will not pass his class and will end up having to repeat both lab and lecture all because of this prof. He gets mad when you correct him even though he is the one in the wrong.
He's also really good at breaking down concepts and making them really easy to understand. If you can, try to register for his lab ASSP, it will be full quickly. He made the lab very simple. You will learn if you put a time. He is super good at chem ete and he links chem to examples in our life.
Not sure if it is his kid or wife that is making fake positive reviews but be assured this professor is an idiot.
I took this course because I dropped my class at CSULB. I took it in Fall 2022 You have a week to complete a report etc that he normally did during the start of each lab. Took notes, Then we go online labFlow and do. You can pass this class with an easy A if you put time as he asked. Only people who did not put time , posted false claim.
As long as you don't fall behind on turning in the assignments you can easily get a very good grade. Very chill teacher, really recommend taking him.
Very approachable person; I'd ask him questions during lab and he would guide me and make it completely easy to understand. The way lab works, he has examples on the board similar to our lab report and then he explains everything thoroughly. He helped us hand on if we did wrongly...
Wang is a very easy A! His homework and quizzes can all be found on manual and lecture book. People who say he's bad just don't put into the effort needed for the class. He's also super sweet and very understanding. I would 100% recommend this Professor if you like to learn,
He is very good and cares us. If you like to learn sth, Wang is a good instructor. Assignments are all online, but all are from manual or what I taught.
don't take a class like this if you are not ready to get serious or you will fail. Just wait, I put in the work, stressed a bit but passed. This professor is great, fast, very helpful. Put in the work and you will succeed. He explains things very well.
Wang designs the class in a good way that u definitely pass if you study, except donot do anything. You need understand the experiment details, calculations in the experiments, and material taught in his lab. Do it, you can pass, I am short of 1%, he added credits to pass me.
Very nice prof. but you need put time. All assignments will be online, and he did the same or similar questions in labs.
Wang cares a lot about students and their success. He made chem lab feel a lot less stressful than it looks. You can see how passionate he is about science and how much he cares for students to succeed. You talk to him about anything and everything.
He is very helpful as long as you ask, he will not directly tell the answer key, but guide you to reach it. I can learn a lot from him.
Professor Wang is very helpful and passionate about his subject. His lab assignments are challenging but manageable with effort. I found unstuck AI and the textbook to be great study tools.
