Wouldn't recommend this professor what so ever. Unless you are prepared to teach yourself a class. Ping often made mistake when teaching lecture, but don't bother asking questions. His only reply will to call you stupid.

As I remember it, Ping Wang's calculus class was my first class on my first day at StFX back in 1998. He was an excellent prof and a super-nice and very funny guy. I came in with a decent calculus background already, but I thought he did a pretty good job of explaining everything beyond what I already knew.

Comment:
Was not accessible outside of class time, anyone who struggles in math to begin with will have to teach themselves the entire course and most of our marks are based on the exam and midterm. Being bad at testing is something he doesn't care about. He is a nice person but he is not a good prof

His strong accent makes him hard to understand. He makes you feel stupid when you ask questions in class. The material was very heavy, and I felt like I had no one to go to for help because he wouldn't answer "stupid questions".

Ping Wang is smart, but not very helpful. He can make you feel very dumb for asking questions.

Ping is and will always be my absolute favourite prof I have ever had. Although many would probably disagree with me he really is a great teacher. He teaches math by examples on the board instead of power points so there is no notes online but it only makes you understand the class more. "if you passed grade 2, you can pass this class" -Ping

He's absolutely hilarious, and makes class interesting for sure. He does move quickly through the material, but show up to class, and especially to the lab assignments, and you can definitely get an A. Most students don't look at the practice questions on Moodle, but they're basically what the midterm & final are made up of. Great guy, total sav

Ping Wang can be hated by some, and loved by others. GO TO CLASS. Ping loves attendance and participation and if you get to know him he will give you lots of help in first year math courses. If you don't go to class, he has little sympathy for you when you need a certain mark.

Ping is very nice and funny but he thinks you took calculus in grade 3 so he doesn't explain things very well.

He moves super fast in class. If you ask a question he will make fun of you for it instead of helping. He is very smart but not willing to share his time and knowledge

My favourite prof at St FX. Really nice guy who's always willing to help, since calculus is a tough course he bases his lectures with a lot of examples. A lot of those examples will be on the midterm or something very close. If you're ever having trouble in the class go see him! Take it from a math major!

He is a great prof who gives examples that are very similar to exam questions. He's a little hard to understand, but other than that he's a reasonable guy who's always ready to help!

Calculus is not an easy course to do well in, but Ping is more than willing to help out students who come to him looking for assistance. Many of his examples show up again on quizzes and exams, and overall he is a good prof who cares about his students.

He's a great guy and he makes you laugh. It makes Calculus a bit easier. A little hard to understand though through his accent.

This is a shame course to take for all business students that really care about getting decent grades. This course with destroy your average. Both teachers are useless and the course has zero structure. All you do is random questions in class and he doesn't even provide you with any sheets on how to do questions. Find practice tests anyway you can

Easy course if you attend, Ping gives you all of the questions which he uses on the midterms and exam in the labs and in class. Tends to pick favorites and if you're not a favorite it can be difficult to talk to him. He's a smart guy and teaches well, but doesn't understand that some people learn differently.

Didn't provide enough examples and often material found on the mid-terms and finals were not something reviewed in class. Nice guy, not a good prof.
