Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Weijia is extremely intelligent. He cares deeply for his students and for the topics he covered in class. Every week Weijia would come into class with new information on what he had learned from the research he was doing. He is very personable and a great teacher.

Awesome class. Extremely knowledgeable, passionate and helpful. Not hard to earn an A. Three quizzes, two presentations (piece of cake) and a small paper. Lenient grader who wants to see you try.

Best professor I have had at UW Madison. He expects a lot from you but also supports you all the way. Lots of assignments but they were fun ones to work on. Added great value to my experience.
