Prof Wang was super kind and engaging. In-person midterm and final were pretty standard in comparison to other cs classes. Lectures and sections weren't mandatory but I would recommend going.

Professor Wang does a phenomenal job at explaining the course content in a way that is easy to follow. Every lecture is recorded and posted, but I would still recommend attending. The exams are structured as well as any CS test can be. You'll do well on them if you want to actually learn, not just get the work done. Labs are challenging, yet fun.

Amazing professor, responds very fast on Piazza and seems to really care about students. Labs range from time-consuming to frustrating as the autograder gives no feedback on what you're doing wrong. The midterm and final exams make up 70% of the total grade, so be prepared to study concepts heavily, not just memorize.

If you're in this class, good luck. Wang is a good teacher, explains things pretty well and has organized lectures. Definitely start labs early and go to office hours, some of the labs are very difficult and they're autograded so sometimes you don't even know what you're doing wrong. Test are the worst thing I've ever experienced, study hard.

Wang is an exceptional prof. He's not only passionate abt what he's teaching, but also cares deeply for students. His class is very organized, his lectures are effective, and he lays out expectations of the course very clearly. This is not an easy class, but there couldn't have been anyone else who would have taught it better

Great lectures for a CS class, you can really learn stuff from it. The final was a bit harder than midterm, it's better to study well before hand. Homeworks are not that bad but labs are quite hard, start them early and go to office hours. Understand homeworks, labs, and lecutres, and you will do good in the class. Pretty good teacher overall.

Homework was easy but there was a decent amount of it (for the first few weeks, tones down in the latter third). Quizzes are a little harshly graded but overall very clear in expectations and content for the class.

He is probably the best lecturer I've had so far. Very clear and easy to understand, very caring and nice. He doesn't use Canvas and you have to buy the online textbook, but is easy to contact and gives good feedback. Quizzes every 2 weeks that range in difficulty but aren't awful. Final wasn't too bad. Absolutely take him if you have the option.

I took his class for CS9, and honestly a great overall experience. He is very good at making hard concepts make sense. He is always very professional, and his github for the course has all you would ever need and more to succeed in his class. He posts all of his recorded lectures which is very awesome!

Tough class with the new syllabus (70% of your grade determined by written exams) There are plenty of office hours for help on labs/hw due every week. Professor Wang knows his stuff, so is very important to attend lecture/watch recordings and read the textbook to pass the class, since it is very conceptual and there was only a small curve.

I took Professor Wang for CMPSC9 for Python, and he is great. There are two exams (midterm and final) each worth 35% each. I recommend studying lecture notes and reading the textbook and making sure to memorize coding algorithms as well as theoretical stuff to get a good score on the tests which are pretty important to get an A in the class.
