Reviews of professor Wenqi Wang

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
nice guy, but worst class in person. exams were extremely hard and not open note. did not give any practice material that matched exams. lectures dry and boring. class average was a D and he did not want to curve because he said we deserve it since some people skipped class. he says don't memorize content bc it's easy, & i listened to him & failed.

Since this class was not online, it made things a lot harder as the tests were graded heavily and there was no open notes at all. Dr. Wang is a very caring and passionate person, but I do not recommend taking him unless you're genuinely going to commit time to understand various concepts. There was no curve (even with a D average).

Wenqi Wang is one of the most caring and compassionate professors I have ever taken at UCI. Yes, the content is hard and you have to put a lot of time and effort but that just comes with any Cell Bio class in my opinion. His lectures are clear and he makes it very known what to expect on the midterm. I wish he taught the entirety of D103.

D103 itself is a hard subject. But Dr. Wang explains any questions you have on the course and beyond. He is very caring and understanding. I can confidently say he was my favorite professor I had in past 3 years at UCI. Just study the lecture slides and understand the concept. He does have an accent, but other than that, he was the best.

I took it over the summer along w 3 other classes and research so it is manageable but dense. I took it as a freshman but his lectures were so clear that I was still got a good grade. He responds to emails very quickly. He also has a built in curve and makes the midterms out of 42 when there are 47 questions so you can receive extra points.

There's a TON of material to learn, but he explained all the concepts so clearly and made everything easy to understand. Exams are based on lecture material only and had several application questions, but were very similar to the questions he gave in lecture and post lecture quizzes. They were also open notes AND had extra credit!
