She is great. I'm math challenged and yet with her I made an A on every test. You do have to go to class because you get points for it, but I got all the concepts from her lectures and examples, not the book. She cares so much about you understanding and is willing to help whenever you need it. I will never take another math teacher but her.

Ms. Wang's English is terribly choppy making a difficult subject even harder. You get four grades all year and no make up tests, no matter what (hope you don't have a funeral to attend).Take Math from N. Carpenter, Wang will blow through the math problems dumbfounding the class and then decides to talk about Judge Judy instead of helping her studen

Her tests are easy and if you study the review sheet she gives there is no way you couldn't make an A in the class. She can go a bit fast at times, but if you ask her to stop and slow down, she will!

If you are good at math you will do fine in this class just make sure you keep up with the HW (she does not collect HW for a grade) the entire grade book is just the tests and final so you will have to study and do HW ON YOUR OWN. If you are cool with that it's an easy A. If you're lazy take someone else. I loved prof. Wang, she is a great teacher.

This was my first class back to college after a long time. I was very intimidated because I am very bad at math. (usually) All of the videos were very helpful. If you can pass the practice exams, you will pass the exam-same exact types of problems, just different numbers. Definitely recommend.

Professor Wang, by far has been my favorite math teacher. For the first time, I not only understood math because she explained it so well, but I also enjoyed attending her class. She's hilarious, caring, and truly teaches you in the easiest way possible. Highly Recommend.

Really nice person, not so nice prof. She splits the exams into two parts, an online portion which is proctored, and a paper part which you scan in. The class average on the first two exams were F's and we asked for help in every way possible. Wouldn't record the lectures, or give us extra credit. No graphing calculators. Doesn't answer email.

This professor is adorable and has a great personality. She encourages questions from students but this is a professor that you need to know what you're doing if you want a good grade. Math is extremely difficult for me so this professor and I did not match well. She was slow to respond to my emails and the format of the class was not great.

Prof Wang is such a sweet teacher but communication is awful and the grade book through the text book is not accurate to the actual grade on canvas. My grade was inaccurate the entire semester. Ive never been great on math so the format of this class wasnt helpful & the grades on canvas vs the book not being accurate was extremely frustrating.

If you struggle in Math and need direction, or different styles of learning how to do problems, this version of her class isn't the one for you. Its pretty much self taught through MML. Good thing about her online class is your second exam and final, she will match your highest score to both, which helps. Unless you ask , you wont hear from her.

Sweet person, bad prof. Doesn't record Zoom sessions, isn't very helpful, just tells you to read the book, doesn't curve the grade, even if the whole class does bad on the test, contradicts herself a lot, study guides will have the wrong answer and she won't realize unless you point it out. Study guides aren't very helpful, super hard to follow.

Dr. Wang has an amazing personality, but her teaching was really difficult. If math is NOT your strongest subject, I wouldn't recommend. Splits tests into two, very hard to communicate with, and study guides do not match the test or hw. You pretty much have to teach yourself. Half the class dropped by the end of the semester.

P. Wang was a great teacher. She was always ready to help me understand. She offered individual zoom meetings throughout the week. 2-3 assignments a week and 4 tests the whole semester. If you do the homework and study for the tests you will pass the class. You can't slack off. You get extra points for attendance. Highly recommend Professor Wang!!!

She also has many opportunities to come in before a test to go over her incredible reviews that are almost exactly what is on the test. Also, lots of workspace for solving problems on tests.

Professor Wang was a brilliant and kind professor last semester. She encouraged us to work collaboratively as a class, and would stop to tell hilarious stories every once in a while. The content was curated so that regardless of whatever level of comfort you were at with math, you would be able to pass the class with a better outlook on Algebra.

Super sweet lady, terrible professor. The class is basically self taught. You take 3 tests- 2 midterms and a final. If you email her with questions she takes a long time to reply. She puts problems in your weekly quizzes that you don't see on homework until the following week. Often makes mistakes in her study guides. Overall not a great professor.

Professor Wang is a very good math teacher but not for elementary. She didnt use textbook, skipped some units. We were not taught the basics. Were taught short cuts. If you were good in algebra and just need a refresher she would be a good fit for you. But if you have been out of school over 10 yrs may not want her.

Professor Wang is a delightful person to be around, but I couldn't follow her teaching style at all. It felt rushed and didn't actually explain the concepts behind the problems, or even how to understand what you were doing wrong. I used the textbook videos instead and essentially taught myself a number of the concepts.

She is nice, but shouldn't teach online. You will likely end up using YouTube to learn all of the concepts. The videos in the e-textbook are terrible. She offers a one-hour review session before each onsite exam, which is helpful. The class has three exams (2 mid-terms and one final). If you go to all three, your lowest mid-term grade gets dropped.

I had to take Professor Wang due to scheduling. She's kind, but her teaching style isn't my favorite. You're only graded on tests, and she can be hard to follow. She curves by replacing your lowest test with the final and drops four homework scores. She wants you to pass, but if you need detailed explanations, she might not be the best fit.
