I took data structures and algorithms with Professor Wang and I really enjoyed the courses. I took algorithms as he was teaching it. His assignments are logical and give you a great experience. Scoring well is also relevantly easy compared to other CIS courses.

Comment:

Prof Wang just reads off his slides for the lectures and is extremely boring. His lectures are so mechanical that if he stops the lecture with a word, next class he'll resume literally from that word and keep going emotionless. His accent is very hard to understand and because of all above, just a few people, from a full auditory, go to class.

One of the nicest profs. you'll meet at Guelph. Genuinely comes off as one of those dads who want you to do well in school. Very accessible. It'll take a bit to understand his accent, but he is very enthusiastic about his trade. When COVID-19 hit, he recorded his lecture slides for everyone to study from. Very adorable professor.

Has a thick accent but, his lecture slide are the work of a true god. Regardless if you have him for CIS2520 or CIS3490 he is extremely accessible if you have any issues with the content. Going to his lectures can give you some full solutions to the examples in the slides of some algos like mergesort, matrix stuff, tree traversal etc. Overall great

Comment:

Very heavy Mandarin accent, but he is perhaps the most genuine professor I've ever had the pleasure of having for CIS*2520. He tries very hard for his students and will never hesitate to help. Never comes off as condescending or rude; very passionate about his stuff. Can't wait to see him in later courses at Guelph.

Great prof, great notes, and the assignments are very clear and straightforward. Even though he has a heavy accent, it is always clear what idea he is trying to get across and what he is trying to say.

Genuinely cares about helping students succeed. Heavy mandarin accent, but you get used to it after a while. If anything it makes the lectures more enjoyable (he pronounces every data structure differently). Asking questions is not a problem. Assignments are easy but require an above average amount of thought.

Thick asian accent, but really puts effort into his teaching and he is extremely friendly. You can always ask him for help and he'll be more than willing to offer it. Assignments and tests are extremely fair, yet challenging.

He's a nice person, but his accent is hard to comprehend. After 2 semesters, I still don't know what "ifo" (pronounced ee-fo) means.

Once you get past his thick accent, you will realize just how good he is at explaining even the toughest of concepts. Got a question? No problem, he will stop the class until you get a proper answer you're happy with, assuming your question is reasonable.

A pretty decent prof overall. Kinda hard to understand but he does like to help students so asking him to re-explain something is not a problem. His assignments are very doable, midterm is easy and the exam is killer.

A good prof, but speaks with a thick chinese accent and for the first week you WILL NOT understand a single word he says... after that, though, you start catching on and realize what a thorough, concise, and intelligent prof he is.

A decent teacher, if a little hard to understand sometimes. Unfortunately, teaches very boring material. Very nice though, and will do his very best to help you out. His best is pretty good.
