Wang was awesome. He was a very entertaining professor and a really funny guy. His lectures weren't the best but I believe that his class was greatly under appreciated. The turnout was dismal because it is easy enough to get an A, though I believe it is highly worthwhile and rewarding to learn the material anyways (he also drops big hints about midterm questions during lecture). It was disappointing that he reused old midterm questions and that people did just as well as I with half the effort... and I completely agree with the previous post regarding a certain whale-ish creature...super annoying.
The biggest thing about Professor Wang is that many of his exam questions are recycled so if you have access to the old exam questions you are set. At the same time, I really wish he would stop doing this because it is enraging to be edged out of 'A' range on the class scale by the likes of the mouth breathing whale girl with the intelligence of a peanut who sits in the front row.
Professor Wang's lectures are okay and enjoyable, as are his subtle (and super corny) jokes, but sometimes it feels like he goes very slowly for the first half of class then after the break he blazes through more than half of the lecture slides. I feel like he does an acceptable job for teaching such a difficult subject in EE, and if you do study hard at it you can still do well in the class (something like top 30% A's, next 50% B's he said). The textbook is decently clear although on occasion not as in depth as other EE textbook, but overall okay.
My TA for the quarter was Tim Brockett and he was a pretty chill dude. His discussions were super organized and he'll definitely help you out on homework questions in OH, discussion, or in e-mails, so big thumbs up there. I have heard good things about Umar as well, so maybe both TAs are ballers, who knows.
