Would try to get another teacher. Wang is very hard to understand and he grades very harshly. He is a nice guy but is not the best teacher and the work is very hard.

Lectures are long and he can be hard to understand sometimes, but he wants everyone to succeed and will help you if you go to his office. Funny guy and enjoy the class.

Comment:

It's hard to understand what he is saying when he gives lectures. He speeds by all the material and he will go off on completely random rants that have nothing to do with the topic discussed in class. It is also hard to track him down outside of class as he is very bad with emailing. 10/10 would not recommend.

Comment:

Weekly assignments help cushion grades but assignments are tough and vague. Must do the lab on campus which defeats the purpose of an online course. He will help if you ask but I had to ask every week and he would just do it for me rather than tell me how.

I would have enjoyed this course more if it hadn't been taught solely through the MasteringGeography website. Required textbook was an e-text

Comment:

Do not take Wang. He is hard to understand and he rambles. I text and sleep in his class because going is pointless. We can use our books and powerpoints on all the tests and most of the answers are on the power point. He is a sweet guy and is very lenient but he has a thick accent. I don't reccomend this class.

Comment:

He is a really sweet guy, but as a teacher...he is a rambler. We spend AT LEAST a half hour of every class small talking or how to use the computer. He is too lenient on everything which makes it seem easy, but we never really get instructed in class so you have to do all research on your own--READ THE BOOK!!! Nice guy, but not very informative.

Comment:

He is a really sweet individual but his class is ridiculous. Attendance was not required which made it seem easy. The class lectures never helped me. You HAVE to read the chapters on your own {about 35 pages each} and take a hard, weekly quiz. If you are devoted on reading, then you MIGHT be ok, but even when I read the chapters, I had a hard time.

Doesn't require attendance. Pretty funny when you can understand him. Uses lecture slides that you can download. The weekly quizzes are hard though.

He is very hard to understand. Attendance is not required, but he has VERY hard quizzes that are impossible to get an A on. I would take someone else.

Comment:

His open note/book tests are HARD. He had questions on there that we did not cover in class and that were not to be found in the book. He was funny at first, but then it wore off. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but I wouldn't take him. You'll regret it when you see your final grade.

His tests are open book/open notes, and despite that THEY WERE SO HARD!! You can't understand him at all and you never have to go to class except to take the test becuase all the notes are sent to you in an email.

Two things which are an assignments & quizzes the assignments he will give u the page numbers to find the answers. If u want to save money tell a friend to take the class with u & u can share book. The quzies are open book he always says if u want to take the quiz early come & see him I would always ask to take them early he would let me. Easy A

Wang is a great professor. The class is not that hard and you do not have to attend class to do well. You have to do assignments every two weeks and they are open book. The quizzes are open book also but still can be a little tough. I would definately recommend!

This class was soooo easy! Every quiz and assignment is open book, open note. As long as you bring your book with you, you won't have any problem. Mr. Wang is also really funny and makes you laugh during class. He also lets out early most of the time.

Comment:

Yong Wang is a very good teacher. he is personable and will help you when you ask for it. there is always homework, but you get a week to two weeks to get it done. His tests are hard even for open book, so make sure you write down everything he puts on the board...and at least be familiar with your book.
