181 . 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

Lectures are completely useless (throws equations on the screen without explaining them, goes into irrelevant tangents, does not effectively communicate concepts). Be prepared to self-learn in this class. Projects and HWs were at least fun and graded pretty leniently. For exams he is a tough and unforgiving grader. Avoid at all cost.

Worst Professor ever, avoid at all cause. Goes over equations without explaining the meaning and intuition behind it. Went to his office hour, but hes not there most of the time. When you ask him a question for clarification, he questions whether or not you went to lecture. No curve at all. Harsh grader, no curve

Wang's lectures are a bit on the boring side, but if you really are interested in computer vision, his projects were very fun and challenging. He grades very leniently on the projects and very strictly on the tests(no partial credit) but overall he curves the class by a lot so as long as you do well relative to others, you should be fine.

Ive had some bad CS and ECE professors (ex: Zheng Zhang ECE15A, etc) and I thought Ive seen the worst. This professor proved me wrong and took the title of worst professor Ive ever taken. Unintelligible lectures and TA discussions, no partial credit given on obscure exam questions, no communication between professor and TAs. Sorry for thebadnews

Just a little man with a little brain and a big ego. Really a shame that UCSB has to keep him around, he is a stain on that department. No course structure, no grading criteria, no energy, no expertise. His students literally laugh at him. Really no reason why he should be teaching anything. Just wait for a different professor, no matter the class.

Terrible Lecturer. Doesn't help with the homeworks at all and doesn't explain the material well. Make sure you know Matlab for the homeworks because he will not go over the language.
