Her lectures were pretty clear and concise. She gave a lot of hw, but that should be expected for math 8 if you want to do well. I highly recommend reading the book along with the lectures!

Math 8 is a hard class regardless of who the professor is. Professor Wei did have good lectures and was really helpful in office hours. But our weekly homework assignments were graded ridiculously hard. Expect no more than a C average on the homework. She also taught us a new topic during the final. Go to office hours for help.

one of the nicest and most helpful profs you will ever have. terrific during OH. class was tough, but she helped everyone on the final. dont worry about the accent.

Hard to understand. Crazy hard tests. The best grade on the midterm was a 40 out of 100. So the professor made it out of 50. Homework is not too bad.

Lectures were completely pointless to go to, felt like she was reading off a textbook. But her class was not too shabby, just go to CLAS, do the homework assignments, show up for section to take pop quizzes, and memorize the practice midterms and you should be able to pull off at least a B.

One the worst teachers I had since I've been here @ UCSB.

Seriously, anyone complaining is absolutely absurd. Yes, she is very hard to understand, and yes, lecture isn't very helpful. If you, however, study the material, do the homework, and ask for assistance (CLAS/Office Hours), you will find both her and her tests very fair. 3B has been easier than 3A, because Wei is both fair and helpful.

she is way too advanced to be teaching lower calc. but overall i did learn alot. tests are difficult but go to CLAS and you will be fine

She is incredibly hard to understand...She taught the class thru proofs only w/o concepts. Do your assignments but no need to attend class. She'll give you 4 units no matter what

It seems most bad reviews here came from students who were incapable of understand the subject matter (read'em for yourself). In my experience, Wei was nothing short of amazing. She is very invested in her students, thorough and well-rounded with her lectures & HW assignments, and goes out of her way to help you in anyway she can. Most recommended!

Wow you 34A guys certainly didn't like Wei too much but making statements like she didn't know what she was doing is just stupid. She has been doing math for most of your life and I can only speak from personal(5A) experience when I say that she did a great job. She was a good teacher and her tests were fair. What more could I ask?

The worst teacher i had at santa barbara. First off, she cannot teach! She took things i knew how to do, and confused me to the point where i could no longer do them. The book was completely useless, and you could not teach yourself by reading it. Your best bet is going CLAS, otherwise you will be so confused. Nice lady, but should not teach-so bad

The class was fairly easy, lectures COMPLETELY useless, went occasionally but didn't pay attention, CLAS is a must and a good substitute for lecture, professor was very nice but generally more confusing than helpful...

This class was difficult, especially considering I took no pre-calc or calculus prior. Attend CLAS, do EVERY h/w assignment, and you should be able to succeed. I managed in A in the class, but it took some work. Wound up teaching myself some of the material by trial and error. She is a bit difficult to understand, but it does get easier with time.

she has no idea what she's doing. On more than one occasion has put the wrong answers on the projector. I stopped going to class altogether and just started attending CLAS and my dicussion groups and squeezed by with a C. Midterm and final were hard. CLAS and my roomate's boyfriend being a calcus tutor is the only way passed

"Princes"! Horrible Professor. Now I will have to retake the damn class.

I had Wei for the easiest calculus class in the series but she was still the best professor that I have had so far in college. Her lectures were very clear and her tests straightforward. She didn't try to teach you random math material that wasn't useful. Her examples in class were superb and overall I would highly recommend her, at least for 5A

She's really nice but if youre not a math person I suggest NOT taking this class. It goes too fast and is pretty hard.

Really awful. If you struggle in math and are only taking it to fill a G.E. DON'T! Her accent is very hard to follow especially if you aren't a math person. Tests are extremely difficult and don't reflect the homework. Curve is useless. She isn't every approachable.

Mrs. Wei is a very bad communicator, and not just because of her incorrect grammar and her accent. She is trying her best, but she is not clear when it comes to explaining math processes. she always adds extra twists to her exams, so unless u are great at math, u will miss at least 1 of the 5 problems. This class could easily be taught better.

Extremely clear on what is expected on exams. Very concise lectures. Some will tell you her accent is a problem... Not if you pay attention. She's brilliant and a very good instructor.

Accent is not a barrier to understanding. I followed every word. She is very clear, and demonstrates the methodical approach to the material. If you do the homework, and go over the examples from class, you will get A's on the exams, as they are always incredibly straightforward. She is very friendly in office hours, and very eager to help.

She has a thick accent, but you get used to it very quickly. Once you get past her accent, she's a pretty good teacher: very straightforward. Shows you what you need to know with sufficient examples to learn the material properly in class. Homework is not too difficult, and her tests are identical to the homework. Exams are very straightfoward.
