Spring 2021 - This is definitely an EASY A GE. Professor Wang provides her students with previous quarter sample exams and the slides which makes the exam much easier. Besides, the lecture given by Professor Wang are super clear, while the HWs in this class are completely optional which means the workload is very light. After every lecture, there will be a post-lecture pop quiz which counts towards the participation credits, and there's easy extra credits. Overall, this course is definitely not a time consuming but an EASY A GE. I highly recommend this course to those who have already select multiple intense major course during the quarter.

Fall 2025 - As someone who has easily gotten As in math classes in the past, I found this class very difficult. Prof Wang uses slides for her lectures, which she will annotate on top of. The issue is that she moves very quickly during lecture (especially by the second half of the quarter), and the slides are basically incomprehensible after the lecture since there is so much writing on them. She also spent too much time going over things that weren't ever tested (like proofs) so that there ended up not being enough time for her to explain any of the examples/exercises thoroughly (which would be way more helpful). Definitely read ahead on your textbook before class, since her explanations are often difficult to understand and go by too quickly to fully grasp. I ended up needing to rewatch the recordings and pausing every like 5 seconds to figure out her lines of logic. Also her slides and other materials were definitely partially AI generated lol, there were a bunch of random emojis and excessive amounts of bolded text I went to a few of her office hours but didn't find them super helpful. Maybe she's more receptive during in-person office hours (I was in the online class) but she generally brushed off my questions quickly and made me feel bad for asking them lol. Tests were pretty hard. She does pull a lot from examples she does in lectures, but because she doesn't really ever explain them in-depth, it was difficult to think so quickly on your feet (especially because there were way too many questions for the time allotted). Homework was also hard but try not to use ChatGPT for it, since the difficulty was pretty in-line with the difficulty of the exams. Overall avoid her if you can! But if you do get her definitely get ahead with the textbook, it helped me a lot since a lot of lecture materials are based on it
