Comment:

Professor Wu is a great math teacher. He wants you to have a deep understanding of material, so expect the most difficult questions from homework on tests. Tests and quizzes are very fair and hes lenient on open ended questions. We are coming up on our final tomorrow and he hasnt put in grades yet. Thats my only complaint.

Course is very heavy on homework, but that's any math class. Looking back, I learned a lot of new material. However, if you don't do the homework you will not do well!

Dr. Wu is the worst I did the homework but I was having plenty of issues Most of the questions on the quizzes were from the homework so doing your homework was really important i tried to get help after the 1st quiz I took He barely helped me and kept saying "if you don't get it now your screwed Barely understood him because of his strong accent

Comment:

Prof. Wu is awesome. He has the best accent in the world. Love when he says "GOOOD MOOORRNING CLASSS". He's one of/ or is the best math teacher(s) I've had. Calculus sounds scary, but it is actually simpler than any other math you've had. You have to want an A to get one. DO HOMEWORK and catch up quick when you fall behind. Final is actually hard.

Comment:

One of the best math teachers I have ever had. He understands calculus as well as Isaac Newton himself and he can also present it in a way that a freshman with just a trigonometry background can understand. It's important to practice outside of class. His tests and quizzes are straightforward as long as you do the homework.

Dr. Wu is THE BEST Math teacher I've ever had! He grades very fairly, but if you do not do the homework, YOU WILL NOT PASS. All of his quizzes and exams are based off of homework problems. He goes very slow with lectures to ensure everybody is on the same page, and even throws in some humor to wake us up. He's a wonderful teacher and person!

Comment:

One of the best math teachers I've ever had. He's makes the math as easy as it can possibly be. You will have homework, but he doesn't collect it until the day of your exams. MAKE SURE TO DO IT WHEN IT'S ASSIGNED. Otherwise, it can be very difficult to play catch up.

Dr. Wu is the best math teacher I've had so far in my life. He makes a long class bearable with how hilarious he is. Goes quickly through material but if you have trouble just go and talk to him. He is more than willing to help you with something you are struggling with. Overall a great professor

Dr. Wu was easily one of the most helpful professors I've had so far. I struggled through MATH 140 at UP and got a C in that. With Dr. Wu, I earned an A in MATH 141 because of his clear explanations. He makes a 3 hour class bearable and even funny at times. Highly recommended.

Comment:

Dr. Wu changed the way I learn & understand math. Math has always been my weakest subject, yet his approach & teaching encourages students to learn math in a very "natural" way. I took Math 140 last semester & failed. With Dr. Wu, I earned an A. I couldn't have done it without his outstanding lectures. DO the homework, study, & you'll be rewarded.

Comment:

Dr Wu is one of the few great teachers beyond high school. Definitely cares about his students doing well and learning the material unlike many professors who could care less. Considering how terrible the text book is he really broke down each section and gave us the material and examples necessary to teach ourselves the more complicated problems.

Dr. Wu will rock your world and is a champion at everything he does. Dr. Wu changed my life in more ways than I could have realized at the time. Compared to Dr. Che he stands on a pedestal with gold medals hanging from his neck with We Will Rock You playing in the background.

His lecture is extremely slow and boring! You attend his classes, stare at the black board, do hw the day before the exam, and you still get an A. It is hard to remain couscious in his class:(

very good teacher. very fun to kid around with and have fun. very helpful when you dont understand something. he realizes that math has nothing to do with the syntax understanding but rather an analytical understanding.
