His lectures are organized and easy to follow and take notes from. His quiz was more challenging than other profs but not a fault of his. Overall, he's very helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had.

I don't want to take away from all of the positives - he's very nice, and the slides he put together were easy to follow, but he's completely unreachable. Expect to wait at least 2 weeks for a response if you hear back at all.

Dr. Wei's accent is not that hard to understand. His power points are AWESOME; they're direct and organized. Plus, he's kind and he's willing to help out if you need it. Language barrier may be a bit difficult to get across but he definitely knows his stuff

Dr. Wei's accent is not hard to understand. If you day dream and aren't good with the terminology you will struggle. I did not have any issues understanding him. Very nice man, and interesting lectures.

He's a very kind professor who genuinely cares about his students. However, he did quite a lot of rambling and wasn't clear on what sections of his lectures would be on the test.

Too many people said he was a terrible prof because of his accent, but he really wasnt that bad. he knew that some people couldnt understand him and was happy to meet students outside of class to reexplain things. His half pf the class has more difficult material, and he did a great job. The textbook covers anything you dont get from his lectures.

Yangdou is very nice guy! He often sympathizes with the class about how hard we have it as students. He is very knowledgeable about the class and offers full notes online. My rating wouldnt be correct if I did not mention the tough accent he has. But if you listen carefully you can make sense of it.

Sweetest prof and you can tell he genuinely cares about his students! If you are ever confused approach him after class, he is more than willing to help. Tells the class what will be on the exam and wants you to do well. His accent can be hard to understand from time to time but honestly his powerpoint make up for it; seriously, they're beautiful.

Comment:

He is a very nice and caring professor, however he is almost impossible to understand. He has very well put together slides and materials but due to a language barrier it's very difficult to learn. He understand that though and really tries his best. But I would recommend choosing a different prof if you have the choice.

Wei was a breath of fresh air after Chedrese. He understands that Bio 120 comprises a lot of information and has a very clear structure to his lectures and slides. He explains well and is clear as to what will be on the exam. Some people found his accent difficult, but he over annunciates well and is open to explaining again - he's fab!!

Makes it very clear what you need to know, I found lectures helpful to keep on track and hear him explain things. Language barrier seems horrible at first but easy to understand when you pay attention and get used to it.

Dr Wei knows that students can not understand him (gives full notes on blackboard) I ended up no going to class because I could not understand him and my marks reciprocated that. weather that is my fault, his, or no ones. makes sure you keep up and learn photosynthesis

He has a pretty strong accent, but I wasn't really bothered by it. His power point slides were really good and the information he gave was always necessary.

Comment:

Dr. Wei is a great guy. He cares about Bio and does his best to teach everything within class. His slides are very good. His only downfall is the language barrier, as he does not speak English clearly. He is aware of this and apologizes frequently which shows he's caring.

Wei was a good prof. Had a thick accent but was aware of it, he repeated important terms and had them on the board so it wasnt a problem. Was humourous and explained concepts well. He prepared us for the test well.

Comment:

Wei was fairly good professor. He is hard to understand sometimes because of his accent - but he is aware of it and tries really hard to make sure you know what he is saying. His slides are easily understood and almost everything on slides are on the exam. Attend the class and he will sometimes highlight or give hints for the final.

Made the mistake of telling my friends I had heard he was a terrible prof-- right in front of him! I take it all back. His material was well put together, very easy exams, and over all a great professor. He had some great topics and I would take more classes with him if I were into plants!

Comment:

Professor Wei was, in my opinion, a very good teacher. He knew what he was talking about, and made it extremely clear what he expected from his students. He understood the slight language barrier, and compensated for it with his posting of notes and good pace. Only negative was that I felt he dwelt too much on unnecessary topics. Great otherwise.

absolutely not able to understand this guy. Skipped every class of his for a month, along with 50+ other kids who thought the same thing. He knows his stuff, and gives notes online, but I cannot understand him
