Reviews of professor Yifan Wang

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This guy's the goat. He's extremely nice and answers emails within 5 minutes of sending them to him. Total of 5 homework assignments the whole semester and two exams (midterm & final). Wish I could take another class with him

prof wang is very knowledgeable in what he was teaching and you can learn a lot in the lectures. The course is generally easy if you keep up with the lectures and homework. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE ASSIGNMENTS YOU WON'T NEED TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME PREPARING FOR EXAMS! Slides and lectures are well-organized.

Prof Wang is SO passionate about geo. One day I caught him in Knox looking at videos to show us in class and I was like omg he actually tries to make the class interactive. This class is super easy: just do top hat, assignments & review the slides for the exam. Yeah he's a bit hard to understand, but I got an A so its not hard at all

I am not a stem major and took this as one of my science credits and I would definitely recommend this for anyone in the same position. Assignments are easy and lectures are straight forward. My only complaint is that the midterm and final are weighted very heavily in comparison to the other assignments.

Only had to do 3 projects, 1 final group project which you could've done solo, and a midterm & final. He offered extra credit through the class dicussions on slack. Does attendance by posting a question on tophat which you had to answer in a given time. He's chill and super nice. Lectures can get boring but that's only bc its about climate change.

class material is very interesting if u r interested in human geo, 5 assignments(each about 1-2 hours to complete), exams are pretty straightforward, and he does curve for exams.

Yifan really cares about his job and making sure his students do well in his class.  Yes, he has an accent and a studder, but if you can get past that, he's a great teacher.  Tests are copy and paste from the notes.  Only downside is there are five homeworks and each one took me around three hours to complete.

The course materials are very helpful, and the course introduced me to the field of GIS. There was only a midterm exam and a final project, plus four or five assignments. Professor had nice presentations and he also host demo sessions for assignments and the project. Yifan is a very nice person and teacher. I will definitely take his courses again!

Dr. Wang is enthusiastic and inspiring when he serves as the lecturer, with his passion and love in geography, his major and work. His class is interesting and appropriate for the students who either want to get the credit only or want to learn something helpful in the major. The negative comment above is extremely irresponsible and irrespective.
