Comment:

Professor Wu is great! The suggested reading is unnecessary because he covers all the material in class. Exams were somewhat difficult with a few curveballs thrown in, but nothing unreasonable. Wu was completely accessible and happy to chat during his office hours and sometimes at other times as well.

Comment:

The professor is very clear, and willing to explain concepts further in office hours. He is very energetic and helped get me further excited about economics. A highly recommend taking his class if you plan on majoring or taking classes in Economics. His tests are very hard, as you have to be able to apply the material, but manageable.

He's VERY clear, helpful and smart.His classes are amazing; he loves discussing anything we bring up about the material in class.He's the definition of a good(or the best)professor.If you're interested in Econ, take him.Even if not,take it and you'll love it.He's demanding but if you do the work, it's easy to get a good grade as he teaches so well.

Great guy and really enthusiastic about material. While classes aren't terribly interesting, he's still a really good teacher. Highly recommended despite his hard (though fair) tests.

Incredible class. I didn't think I'd like Econ, but I took this class to find out... and now I seriously love that class. He's demanding, but you'll really learn the material.

Wow, very tough, but when you succeed you feel as if you've really earned it. A phenomenal professor, his letter alone helped open a door to grad school. I'll always be thankful I took his class!!

This guy is one of the smartest in the school. And when push comes to shove, he graduated from Radnor and can still kick the ball! Go Radnor, and Hamilton, and Wu!

Great teacher and very enthusiastic, but fails to comment on problem sets. Students must find what they have done wrong on their own and correct it themselves.
