PSTAT126 . Wang Y-D 1 Year, 28 Days Ago

Very nice man, and his tests were open-note. They do grade homework on accuracy, so beware of that, but as long as you put in effort, you will do well!

PSTAT126 . Wang Y-D 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

There were only 4 homework assignments, and we got 2 weeks for each assignment. The midterm and final were in person, but it was open note and open computer. The exams are similar to the homework problems. Study the homework and section handouts and you will be fine.

PSTAT220A . Wang Y-D 9 Years Ago

when you see his name, run! a parrot can teach better than him. My college regression was much deeper than the one offerer here for grads.

PSTAT5LS . Wang Y-D 13 Years Ago

Prof Wang is such a nice guy! I've never been an office hours student but both times I went to his he was very kind and totally cleared things up. He does have an accent but his English itself is very good, it doesn't get in the way of understanding lectures and I actually think hes very clear in class. Would definitely take him again

MATH3B . Wang Y-D 13 Years Ago

Wang is not a bad professor, but is extremely difficult to understand. Tests are not particularly hard and his midterm is A LOT easier than the final. Go to CLAS and you will be fine. Material starts to get tricky at the end of the quarter but is doable. Does not speak english and notes are not that good, but if you go to CLAS then you can get by
