CMPSC8 . Wang R K 7 Months Ago

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.

Extremely organized professor. Lectures are engaging and well organized, and you can access recordings and summaries of them online. He truly is one of the most fair professors at UCSB, everything in the homeworks, labs, and tests are very do-able as long as you study the materials and pay attention in lecture.

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.
