Reviews of professor Yiming Wang

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Wang was one of the most confusing professors I have had ever. His lectures felt so random and I was teaching myself all of the material while doing the textbook problems. Dr. Wang made his class feel like a competition between his students and didn't seem to care about his their learning saying "may the best student win" before the final.

Its a miracle I passed. No curve but he assigns grade by class rank so u move up. he literally said "may the best student win" abt the final and he was dead serious. this class is completely unfair. no good practice and tests are IMPOSSIBLE. studied for weeks prior and had many appts with him and still barely passed. don't b fooled by cheat sheets

Don't be fooled, this class is so difficult even with cheat sheets. His exams this year were more difficult than past years so his practice exams only helped to a certain extent. Homework was also very tedious, and not always helpful. I was so stressed all semester and I sacrificed a lot to get an A. Wish I took a different professor

Adorable and kind and VERY smart. But- seemed more interested in hitting his target averages(50-60)/pitting us against each other vs. students feeling confident in material. Questions hardly addressed unless they add to content (clarifying questions often misunderstood/breezed over). Have to get there 20+min early to see the board or hear him speak

(fall 2023) bro said "may the best student win" for our final... yes we got cheat sheets but he actively wanted to lower our averages by making the exams MUCH harder bc the curve is based off student competition. terrible lecturer, taught the whole course to myself and  grade is only made up of 3 midterms + final, no hw credit. would not recommend.
