Dang is probably the greatest teacher I've ever had. The guy is pretty much brilliant, as well. Is most interested in your ideas. Even if you don't get the right answer, if you at least have some ideas, you'll get a lot of credit. Go to class, pay attention, get some ideas and you'll get an A.

This class is excellent! The material is very challenging but Dang really makes the material interesting. He is by far the best professor I have ever had.

This class is WICKED hard, but boy, dang just goes over everything with such a smile, you just can't help but love him! Dang rocks! Occassionally having a foreign professor has challenges, but Dang's English is superb, and not an issue.

This was an extremely difficult class, but very rewarding. Some lazy students seem to think that they are entitled to rewards without putting forth any effort. Dang's English is fine (maybe not superb) and he is more than willing to help anyone who asks; he even gives out his cell phone number. He will absolutely give you the grade you deserve.

Absolutely good professor! He tries his best to help you, and is willing to accept students' idea. Unbelievably sharp!

Very good professor. Difficult material, but he does well to make it fair and help students understand. I have enjoyed both classes I have taken from him!

Never used textbooks. Almost never fails his students (get C or better). Makes things a lot easier to understand.

Assignments dont matter. If you do OK on midterm or just good on the final, you will pass. He has some hilarious quips that make his lectures enjoyable ( like "books only for rich ppl" and "don't even as"), and is engaging. accent isn't thick, just uses broken english

Perfect professor. He knows what he's talking about and works very hard to make sure students understand the material and is very explicit about what he expects for answers on the exams. Expect to design algorithms in linear time and very difficult homework. The best way to pass is to go to his office hours. He will work very hard to help you.

Great teacher. One of the best Computer science professors at WSU. He has high expectations. If you don't understand something, he is happy to go over the concept again.

The topic is really tough, but the professor is great. Prepare for examples with little kids jumping on top of coffee makers. :)

Inspiring Professor. Learned a lot from him.

It was a mandatory course and his style was awesome. Lectures are highly motivational. Examples are funny and interesting.

Funny and gives thorough examples. He will tell you exactly what's on the midterm and final so if you took notes and did the code you can ace both. Only difficult part is to figure out the HW since he assigns them without showing you how to do them sometimes but they're usually easy enough. Oh and textbook is useless dont even bother.

Funny, passionate about teaching. His lectures are very different but he breaks down complex concepts so simply. If you skip lecture you won't know how to do the homework in the slightest. He makes sure you get an A if you put in the work.

At first, you'll think he's a fool. You're wrong. He's fantastic. He does everything in his power to help you pass the class. He tells you exactly what the tests will cover and how to do the questions. If he sees you tried, you'll get an A. Over 90% of our class got between 80-100% on the midterm. If you show up to every class, you will pass.

Dr. Dang is an amazing professor. I'm kind of annoyed that his score on here isn't higher because he really is an amazing professor.

Professor Dang has been one of the best professors I have had so far. For our class we only had one midterm and one final and about a homework due once a week. As long as you watch his review videos the exams are not too difficult. Classes are not mandatory but I would suggest going as there is no textbook and it is harder to learn on your own.

Dang is great. He's funny and provides you with everything necessary to pass the class with an A. He posts review vids before each exam that cover around 85% of everything on exam. He also assigns hw once a week or so, and after two semesters with Dang, I don't think hw scores matter. Just turn it in and you'll get 100% in hw category.

Dr. Dang is the best professor at WSU. The material in this course is difficult to learn, yet at the same time, he makes it very difficult to fail.

Amazing professor. I don't think I would have passed this class with any other teacher. He made very abstract ideas become tangible through simple examples and he shows plenty of them. Watch his review videos a few times through and his exams are pretty easy. Overall hard class but Zhe Dang makes the material very digestible.

1 problem: we didn't get HW grades back quickly. However, Dr. Dang was always willing to hold extra office hours to help students. He wasn't looking for memorizing a right answer, but more can you think through a really tough problem, and approach it from several angles, instead of giving up? That skill has been invaluable for me.

He is one of my favorite professors. He comes off as scary but he does care about all of his students. He'll say crazy things like "If you don't understand this, you'll have to go work at McDonalds." It sounds harsh but what he's really saying is that it's important to know. If you work hard and go in knowing that he wants you to pass, you will.

Professor Zhe is amazing. One of the most caring and kind professors I've ever had. He'll pretend to be a hardass and say things like, "I don't care if you fail" to scare you into studying, but I've never had a professor be as willing to work with me and go the extra mile for his students. Don't use the book or google he does this class his own way

Hard class to understand concepts, professor is good and knows his stuff. Tests are a big impact - midterm & final. Project at the end - 1 week to do with pretty hard concepts to program.

He is a great professor, but it'll be difficult if you don't spend time to study

Dang is hilarious. He makes sure that students really understand the material. He is a bit tough, but if you put in the effort you will 100% pass.

Professor Dang is a GOAT at WSU. He teaches both 250 and 350 which are required courses for CS major. These classes are hard, but he does everything in his power to make it doable for students. Homework every week, one project per semester, and one midterm + one final per semester. He is really good at teaching complicated topics.

Zhe Dang is tough, but I feel like this class has really helped me grow. He's funny. He spent two class periods prepping us for Midterm 1, and they were very valuable. The HWs are hard, but he gives hints. If you put in the work, you will pass. He's reasonable about grading exams, which is refreshing to see.

Zhe Dang is the best!!! You need to go to lectures to pass the class. His reviews and hints for homework and exams are very helpful. I don't recommend skipping his lectures because he covers everything you need to know and more!

His super passionate and interesting

Professor Dang is difficult, but he is a good professor. I think people take him too seriously, he is constantly joking in class and just has a funny personality. He assigns purposely difficult problems, dont let this get you down. He knows the problems are hard and will give LOTS OF HINTS. He also shows you problems that will be on the exams.

I cant speak on other ratings saying Dr Dang speaks down on students, and never ONCE experienced this happen in lecture (I never attended office hours) but he seemed very forgiving often giving away homework answers. This class can be very abstract and he goes fast, but its very doable. Always encouraged answers right or wrong, its how you learn.

Zhe Dang is a great professor. However, his class is tough. It's very difficult conceptually. The one complaint I have about the class is the project worth 15% of your grade. The pyeda library is difficult to use and is heavily lacking in documentation. I could imagine other students giving him a 1 based on that project alone.

I thought the class was not as bad as everyone said. HW every week, gives helpful hints to ensure you are able to finish the hw. The notes without context is definitely hard to understand, but if you are able to record the lectures then it makes it much easier to know what he is talking about. He is more like a math professor than a CS one.

He makes the lectures super interesting and he always stops to answer questions, also accessible by text. The courses he teaches are extremely important for passing technical interviews, so they are difficult but lead to learning and deeply understanding important topics.

Dr Dang has to teach some of the hardest concepts in computer science, while no its not coding in python, C, or making websites (all of which a 10 yo could learn), its the fundamentals of your CS degree and the entire content of this class is what companies use to test your knowledge. Anyone can code, you need to be able to think critically for CS

Zhe Dang is an excellent professor. He really knows his stuff, and engages with his students as he teaches. Lectures are lively and full of participation. He uploads lecture notes after class (he writes all the content during lecture, no textbook or slides), and provides meaningful prep resources for exams. He's also pretty funny.

Dr. Dang is one the smartest professors I've had at WSU. You can tell that he is an expert in his subject and explains concepts in an engaging way. Go to lectures, ask him questions, and you'll be fine.

If you took 317 with Zhe Dang, 350 follow a similar structure, weekly hw, one coding project and 2 exams. Goes over hw problems that the class had difficulty with and had review sessions before both exams, which the topics he talks about are guaranteed to be on the exam. There is extra credit opportunities as well. Learned a lot

Great sense of humor and engaging lectures. Exams are hard, but he basically tells you what's on it and allows cheat sheets.

He really cares about making his students pass, curving grades if the average is low. His lectures are a little confusing but he always answers questions the best he can. Posts lecture notes on Canvas and gives hw hints. He also tells us what might be on the final exam during lectures. He's funny in his own way.
