Best professor ever. Really helpful lectures and enjoys answering questions in class. Perfect reasonable amount of homework. GOAT!! I'm going to miss him

GOAT!!

GOAT. Hands down one of the best professor in UCSB. Lectures were really amazing, and he's super organized. He knows the content from top to bottom; he can literally answer you every python question you ask. He's also a very nice guy that always tries to help his students. As long as you study, Quizzes and Final should be fine. No Midterm.

Very good professor, I took at the same time as CS16 and CS9 was a bit more work.

Professor Wang is super organized, and does everything he can to help students succeed. Great lecturer, super clear, records lectures, and answers any question concisely and happily. The labs are difficult, and when he says to get started on them early, do it. Also his final was worth 40% this quarter, but he changes the grading scale constantly.

Prof. Wang is a great professor who makes it very clear what you need to know and teaches well. Don't think it will be super easy if you have limited python experience, you have to pay attention in lecture to both the coding and the conceptual information, but if you do that and review the lecture notes posted online you will learn and know content

KING

Best professor I've had at UCSB so far. He records his lectures so you can watch them whenever. He explains concepts really well and his lectures are very organized. No midterm, only one final. Highly recommend.

A 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!!!

This class was content-heavy, but Prof Wang managed to explain things very well. Labs did require a lot of effort and time. The quizzes and final were fair. Gave us very generous curves at the end.

Prof. Wang is by far the best lecturer I've had to date. While the class is content-heavy, he explains everything in digestible blocks. Quizzes and homework are online and easy as long as you pay attention to the lectures (posted online) and skim over parts of the reading. Start labs early, office hours are super helpful, no midterm.

Great professor, I had him for CS9. This class goes over a lot of stuff and concepts can get a little abstract and difficult to grasp but lectures are pretty useful. The class is not easy so if you're bad at CS or if you're not planning to put in the effort, don't expect an A.

Labs are hard and take a while, but office hours are helpful and if you start early they are manageable. He is very good at explaining the concepts and the class is straightforward despite hard topics.

Prof Wang is a good professor. His lectures are clear and organized, but it's very easy to be deducted points although you can drop one quiz and two homework. This course is CHALLENGING. If you can take cs16 or cs9 plz consider carefully which course you should take. cs16 is much easier than cs9. BST is the hardest part of this course.

I love this class, as I went in really iffy about my coding skills and came out a lot more confident. The lectures are super useful (and recorded!), and the quizzes and final is doable if you read through the content and understand the basics. The projects are a bit complex, but as long as you utilize labs/office hours, you'll be fine!

I really like Prof. Wang's lectures. He is indeed a very caring and knowledgeable professor. CS9 itself is not an easy course, but he managed to explain everything clearly. Attendance is not mandatory, and he will always post the recording of his lectures online.

Prof. Wang really cares about his students, and he is willing to provide good feedback all the time. However, the labs in this course are not easy, you need to really study for this course, participate in the section and read the textbook. Final is harder but it is still doable if you study comprehensively.

IDK added more stuff to recent classes than before, pretty hard for an intermediate cmpsc course

Great professors and TAs! Need to spend some time and pay attention on the labs.

This was for video game design, a special topics class in CCS. Richert was amazing. Prioritized projects where students can explore their interests, interacted with students, and gave good feedback/explanation. He is good at explaining concepts in a simple, clear way. If you have the opportunity to take his class, please do so.

Great human overall. Very informative lectures. Homework is fairly easy with help from the book (which has a free version online). Labs are fair, some require more work and should start early so you can go to office hours to ask questions. He is very helpful during office hours & won't judge you if you don't know something. Great guy.

Great Professor, recommend for entry-level cs students

prof wang is AMAZING. his lectures are so good. he explains concepts very clearly and answers all questions so patiently. i came into the class kinda iffy about my python skills, but now i'm rather confident. all assignments (labs, hw, quizzes, final) are very doable if u pay attention to lecture and review using lecture notes and the textbook. :)
