Professor Wang is by far one of the most energetic and passionate professors I have ever had, each class is full of information and his perspective on history is interesting. Lots of reading, and expect to answer questions in high detail.

Comment:
Dr. Wang is my favorite professor in the history dept. His lectures are fantastic and he gives good feedback on assignments. Sad to see the 190-level people bash him. He also extended deadlines in our class and was open to negotiate changes to the schedule. Would definitely take again if I wasn't graduating in the spring! Give Wang a chance!

Comment:
Professor Wang is a very nice guy. His lectures can be a bit boring unless you are interested in history. He is not a tough grader but his exams can be a little challenging, but not too bad. As long as you study and read the book you will do well. He is very passionate about history!

Dr. Wang is a wonderful professor. I don't understand the negativity 195 students are giving him. He is not difficult to understand and he is very helpful. I enjoyed his lectures a lot and I felt that I also improved as a writer from his assignments. This is my second class with Dr. Wang and I would highly recommend him to any history majors!

Comment:
I took Professor Wang for a night lecture class, the lectures felt very long and it was hard to understand him. His grading is very confusing and he doesn't explain everything into detail. Recommend reading the text even though its not required for the tests. Most of his tests have nothing to do with the lectures.

Dr. Weng is a really nice guy, but his lectures can be a bit boring. It was an easy class overall with both mid-term and final being take home exams and two book reviews out of the four books we read in class. I would personally take his class again.

Comment:
He is not a very good teacher. He uses tests that he randomly finds online rather than make his own up. His lectures are very long and boring. Participation counts but you can miss up to three days. I do not recommend him as a teacher. He is very nice but should not be teaching this course. He does not give enough assignments to help you out.

Very nice man. Speaks English clearly for a Chinese man. Cares abut his students' grades. Gives you more than plenty of extra time if something is late as long as you go see him. Boring class, even as a history major. Notes had no value.

Very nice man, but if you're not interested in the class you are going to have a rough time. Lectures are very boring and hard to pay attention to.

Prof. Wang is a really nice guy. He is really smart, but his lectures can be VERY boring. 2 Test Midterm and a Final both of which are pretty easy if you study. Also ALOT of reading but overall his class isnt too bad. I would prob take him again.

Comment:
Dr. Wang is super nice, but he is severely lacking in the proper way to give a lecture. His "notes" are worthless. I'm a History major and I'm very concerned about the lack of information I learned from taking this class. I feel like I need to retake it. Random attendance checks. Definitely will not be taking another class from Dr. Wang.

Comment:
This guy is super nice, however he is not very good at lecturing. Classes were boring and I'm disappointed that we didn't learn more. Also, only two exams, and some genius in the other section wanted a lot of multiple choice so a lot of people aren't doing so well. I feel bad saying all this because he is so nice, but I'm not taking him ever again.

This class is extremely boring. He has a strict attendance policy, but doesn't regularly take attendance so you may not go to class but not be marked for it. His tests are taken verbatim from online questions from the book's website. I got A's on all my papers and tests but still may end with a B because of his weird grading though.

I have never done bad in a class ever in my life before...until this class! My 4.0 ruined by a D. I showed up to class everyday did my notes, but uhh. His class is painfully boring, and your grade is based only on 3 tests (3/4 your grade) and 3 reflection papers (1/4). Dont take him unless you are a history wiz.

He really knows his stuff and is a very kind and humorous professor. Class was exciting and interesting. He gives a lot of readings and the class itself was a lot of work, but he is always willing to give help. I highly recommend Dr. Wang and would have no problem taking another class from him.

Dr. Wang is a sweetheart. He can get VERY boring, but just go to class, take notes, and do the assignments; you'll do fine. His assignments can be a pain, but there are only 2 and you basically select the due date. I recommend him, just maybe not 8am.

He speaks english very well for a chineese man. He does not ask for much. All assingments can be done in your own time. He seems to enjoy teaching.
