Reviews of professor W. David Wei

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Pretty crummy. His exams are ridiculously long and intense so you better be ready to know answers off the top of your head if you want to do it in 50 minutes. He doesn't believe in taking notes, is terribly structured, and tends to talk down to his students. If you see him on the registrar, wait til next semester for a better professor.

Doesn't teach anything properly, definitely read the textbook. Lectures are useless and exams are way too hard and not possible to finish within class time. Avoid.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
To start with the good: He seems like a nice guy out of class. The bad: He has absolutely qualities that make a decent professor. The exam's are insanely dense, and you are expected to complete them in the allotted 50 minute class period. He emphasizes to not memorize the textbook, yet also tells you to memorize derivations character for character.

The people on this site who are giving him 5 stars are not his current students. Dr. Wei is a hard professor, his exams are very difficult and you do not finish. He would rather suggest relearning general chemistry than actually being helpful and teaching the material. Just wait a semester to take this class and you will be better off for it.

Best professor Ive taken at UF. Hes compassionate and his willing to give you extra points if you need them. Pretty cool Guy.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I was afraid to take this course because of the ratings but my experience was quite different from what I read here. 80 points for homework and 220 points for the final exam(total of 300 points). 3 non-graded practice exams were helpful for the final. Overall, I thought he was a good lecturer and the final exam was hard but relatively fair.

He is probably the worst professor I have ever had, like most others said hes not very good at the teaching portion of his job description. There are many parts he expects us to self study and I have yet to take an exam that I have finished. The exams are so dense that if you dont know the answer right away, you just dont have time for it.

No curve. Posts indicating that the professor offered lots of extra credit are false. Only 1 point of extra credit out of 100 was offered. Exams are impossible to finish (DON'T IGNORE). Professor ignored the entire class requests for shorter/doable exams throughout the semester. Rated worst learning experience to date by 85% of class on GroupMe.

Goes over key concepts in great detail.  Only one graded exam which I though was kind of nice because it made most of the semester more relaxing. Gives partial credit, hardly any assignments.  Emphasizes teaching content and problem solving that can be remembered past the course.  Must go to lectures, use book to understand tougher subjects.
