Most Helpful Review
Fall 2020 - Here's my advice for this class: don't take this class. Prof Wang could NOT care less about her students and I learned nothing from her. She reads her lecture notes to us by scrolling through a pdf of her scanned notes from years ago, which is just a harder to read version of the textbook. If you care about your education at all, don't do it, I don't even know what else to say because this quarter had me speechless. I'll summarize: -she's almost always late to class, record being 20 minutes or something -class just cuts out sometimes because of her internet issues, and she will tell you she's going to upload a recording for you to watch, but she won't -doesn't show up to her OH sometimes -cancelled class two(?) times for unknown reasons even though we ended up being so behind that she dropped the whole unit of tensor analysis -spent half a quarter on math 32 stuff which everyone already learned, rushed through Fourier/Laplace which is new, dropped everything else (tensors, PDEs, etc.) Basically all you have to do in this class is skim the textbook before exams and do the HW since most of the quarter is review. I can't think of a single reason why you would take this class with her unless this is the last class you need to graduate and you just want an easy A.
