Professor Wang is a great person, but could've taught class better. I really didn't learn a whole lot in her class, if anything. I don't really regret taking the class as it was kinda a breeze, just be aware that you're gonna have no idea what you're doing ever. I didn't receive a single grade after the month of September last semester.Rate My Professors ↗
