Summer 2024 - This professor is the fucking goat. This review is not for his PIC series but for Math 151B summer 2024. Not too great at teaching, he sounds like he wants to die and is depressed half the time when he's teaching, but he's really not like that if you go to his office hours. He's one of those professors that teaches only because he's obligated to do so, but he knows that probably and therefore makes his course an extremely easy A so I don't put it on the guy for that. If you go to his office hours, he'll answer all of your questions and doesn't really mind going overtime by maybe even an hour. He tends to have a lot more personality in his office hours. However, his lectures are extremely stale and boring and pretty much reads off the textbook line by line and he's also not too good at explaining. However, as I said earlier, his class is a free A since he makes his homework assignments 40% of the grade and they're pretty reasonable problems. What more is that both his midterm and final are almost exact copy and pastes of the homework problems (maybe change up a number or two) and he states that he does this in the syllabus and first day of class. All I did to study for the exams was look at the homework problems I did the night before the exam and I still ended up with an A+. As long as you put in the effort to understand the homework, the exams are free A's.

Winter 2023 - Just like 10A, Professor Ding provided very helpful study guides for his tests, so you are able to get a good score if you understand how those codes work. That being said, while I understood the code, I could never write it myself. But honestly, that didn't really matter because the class is very conceptual. The second half of the class has some homework assignments that don't require coding at all, and ask you purely about the concepts. I loved this, because thats the part I understood, but I don't know how well it actually taught me how to code. So take that as you will.
