MATH4B . 2 Months Ago

Maybe Prof. Wei used a different grading system in the past, but Math 4B in W24 was reasonable. Tests are reasonable, lectures are good, and quizzes are normally reasonable. Lectures can be a bit hard to understand, but she posts everything. Easy to piece together yourself. Would take again over some other math profs. Rating 4 to boost.

** rating for MATH 4A. Wei is extremely difficult to understand during lecture. I completely self taught myself linear algebra, & going to CLAS saved me. Her lectures are useless. Midterms are 40% and the final is 40%, with the other 20 being HW -- ridiculous grade breakdown. Also did not inform students of the letter grade breakdown as it was TBD

The weekly homework in this class is tough; you get unlimited chances though. The biweekly quizzes and the midterm are similar to the homework, but then the final absolutely murders you, and shell curve the final grade down. For my class she didnt drop the lowest quiz/hw grade on time, which left things on an irresponsible note.

Prof. Wei changed grading eventually and I got what I expected. Lowest scores were manually dropped, and grades were given fairly. So to be fair, I think the overall course deserves 3-4 out of 5. But I'm not sure if grading would be tough next time.

The final was so unreasonably difficult. It was nothing like the practice problems in the textbook, the homework, or lecture examples. I got so many points off because of tiny errors and it really messed up my grade. Also what kind of professor curves down?

I didn't even know curving down was a thing until I took this class. I took this class during COVID so it was much more difficult to concentrate, however I did not feel that I could learn a lot from her lectures anyway; everything I learned was on my own. I seriously do not recommend, not even as a last resort. Take it at a CC if needed.
