I had Mrs. Wang for Intro to Algebra and College Algebra back to back, three hours of math twice a week. It was often a drag, but I never had a moment where I felt confused or like I didn't understand the topic. Also, if you bomb a test, she'll help you understand what you did wrong, and then you can make corrections. She's very nice

i took math 0915 and math 1115 2 times a week and 3hous a day I regret taking this class. She teaches too fast, explains very little, and the tests are much harder than the homework. No notes or calculator allowed and homework is due the next day. The class is stressful and confusing. I would avoid taking her if you can.

Take this class if you want to spend 2-3 hours a day doing homework. There is way too much homework and it takes up a lot of time. She doesn't teach the best and explanations aren't great either, so prepare to do A LOT of self studying. Tests aren't bad if you practice a lot.

DO NOT TAKE HER. She is a sweet person, but jesus christ the workload is insane. Her lecture videos are awful, she goes way too fast and doesn't explain anything. Weekly assignments are usually 60+ problems, and you have to submit pictures of the notes you took from her lecture videos and the work.

There's no doubt Professor Wang teaches hard classes, but I have found her to be a great teacher. She wants you to succeed, provided you put in the work yourself. She's always available to review things with you outside of class, and I highly recommend attending office hours. She's a very kind teacher. With some hard work, her class is 100% doable.

Don't do it. I promise it is not worth it. Don't let your advisor sign you up for her class. You will spend at least 3 hours a day, 4 days a week doing her work. She explains nothing unless you ask and she makes you feel dumb for asking. If you're not religous, pick 5 and start praying. There isn't a final listed but the last test is cumulative. :(

Yes, her class is hard and you will have to consistently put in effort throughout the semester studying and doing assignments almost daily. However, if you show up every day to get the 3%, do the test reviews, and utilize office hours/test corrections, you will get a good grade. Its not a fun class, but Prof Wang is not a bad professor at all.

In her office hours, she just says "we went over this before" while watching a Chinese kids show and eating food, providing 0 help. I would get nothing but condescending remarks and attitude. I pulled an all nighter before a test and knew the concepts like the back of my hand. The test had stuff I had never seen before in my life. I was livid.
