Reviews of professor Lai-Xi Wang

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Wang cares about his students. He has a very calming demeanor that is conducive to learning. He goes through the material at a steady pace and is receptive to questions and concerns. Homework questions and questions he's done in class appear on exams. The exams are not too long, either. He has useful lecture slides that give good background too.

He provides homeworks to study with, but they are not actually graded (so theyre optional). If you test well, this class is for you, if not, do not take this class. Only grades on exams and participation, but that doesnt get you far. Lectures are clear but you might have to get used to them. GSS and Discussions helped a lot

Youre only graded on clicker questions and 4 exams in this class. Overall, I had a great experience with Wang! Very approachable and caring. His exams were reasonable, but I still had to study a lot from them. They were fair and came from the lecture slides. GSS was literally so helpful and so were the discussions. You have clickers daily btw.

I honestly really enjoyed having Wang for Orgo 2, but hes definitely not for everyone. I thought his exams were very fair and accurately tested the lecture material; there wasnt anything super tricky on them. That said, he teaches via powerpoints, so if you like reviewing material on your own (like me), take him ^^ GSS and discussion are helpful

I found him better than Davis. Davis' class was behind ours because he focused so much on energy graphs of molecules. straight forward professor, definitely attend lecture, take notes, do the hw (even tho not graded) and go to office hours. Its a hard class so make sure to stay on top of GSS and HW
