Reviews of professor Yiming Wang

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Wang is really good professor to take I highly recommend him over bell, nelson, and houston. He prepped really well for ochem 2, his lectures can be messy and his exams are HARD so study 2 weeks in advance, show up to office hours, do every piece of supplemental I MEAN EVERY. if you get a b or higher Wang made OCHEM 2 for the first half easy.

class was hard but its orgo, so that's expected. he is so nice outside of class and if you ever need ANYTHING email him. gives exam regrades and big hints on exam materials. lectures can get a little off the rails but sum up information well. class is competition style but that is a department requirement. wish i could take him for 0320 next sem!

He tried to act nice, but he was super competitive and very disorganized in lecturing. Learned basically everything on my own and felt super stressed. Literally WANTED low averages and said "may the best student win" before the final. Don't take him unless ur an orgo god.

The class was difficult. No lecture resources online, sparse practice problems, and unfair regrade policy (I never requested one, you risk getting your grade LOWERED). He is a kind person, but terse over class announcements. My advice: do his homework + practice tests, and use cheat sheets for specific examples/anomalies he brought up in class.

Barely passed. Actual % was in the 40s--unprepared for Orgo 2. He only failed 12% of the class, so if that entices u, go for it. This class was so taxing on my mental health & classmates weren't a good resource bc you're directly competing w/ them to pass ("May the best student win"). He was nice but his attitude toward learning was backwards imo

Amazing lecturer! Is a hard graded but explains concepts nicely and if you put in decent effort, you will end with an A. Also gives extra credit:)

Difficult even with cheat sheets; doesn't test material not in lecture; practice exams were unhelpful this year bc he made his exams a lot harder BUT if u go to his office hours AND UTILIZE UR RESOURCES u will do well. 1 drop for midterms. do WELL on exam 1 bc it's the easiest exam of the course and will give u a leg up for the rest; sweet man

Wang literally said going into the final "May the best student win". He isn't a good lecturer he uses the chalk board half the time and never truly goes over concepts of questions. He does multiple hard practice problems and believes that you know what is being taught. He is a harsh grader with barely any partial credit. Good luck..

RUN as FAR AWAY as you can if this professor is offered. This man finds joy in your suffering. When the average for an exam was in the 60s, he smiled and said, "this is exactly what I wanted." He will even dock you point for asking him "stupid" regrade requests or questions you may have about the exam. Overall, for your own sanity, don't take him.
