CollegeA P/NP crash course covering all materials in CS16+24+32. Zybook can sometimes be annoying but definitely do it. Lectures are mainly deep dives into important topics. I'd suggest to pair your labs with zybook chapters - this can help a lot. I've "taken" CS9+16+24+32 with Prof. Wang; his lectures are all so clear and amazing. Strongly recommend!!!
Homework was easy but there was a decent amount of it (for the first few weeks, tones down in the latter third). Quizzes are a little harshly graded but overall very clear in expectations and content for the class.
He is probably the best lecturer I've had so far. Very clear and easy to understand, very caring and nice. He doesn't use Canvas and you have to buy the online textbook, but is easy to contact and gives good feedback. Quizzes every 2 weeks that range in difficulty but aren't awful. Final wasn't too bad. Absolutely take him if you have the option.
MY GOAT!! He explained lectures really well and would work with you so well. If you get the chance, choose him!!
