Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Teaches a very fair and straightforward class. Take time doing the homework, and learning as you go. The homework and exams are very similar, stressing the importance of doing the homework with care.Rate My Professors ↗

I would 1000% suggest Wenxiao Pan. Her lectures and lecture notes are so clear and makes it so you don't need to read the textbook outside of class. She writes the notes on the board along with the class and explains everything very well. Homework assignments are very similar to exams and grading is super generous. Could not suggest her more!Rate My Professors ↗

Prof Pan posted clear lecture notes with relevant examples that made the homework and class itself way easier to follow. The tests were fair and she taught well. Would recommend.Rate My Professors ↗

Needed to take leave for the last ~2 weeks of our class, made me realize how awesome she was. Her lectures may have been a bit derivation-heavy, but they were hella organized. Gave plenty of practice material, always prepared. Once she left everyone started getting way more confused with the content. Very well-roundedRate My Professors ↗

In Professor Pan's lectures, you spend 75% of the time deriving complex expressions, but rarely learning how to use them. The test questions are much more difficult than the homework and her partial credit it quite harsh. If you make one mistake, you essentially get half credit for that question. Avoid Pan at all costs.Rate My Professors ↗

Prof Pan is no frills- show up to lecture, take notes, and use her review info prior to exams. Overall a fair professorRate My Professors ↗
