Comment:

He is usually well-prepared for class and knows the material well. He wants everyone to understand the subject, and sometimes this leads him to lengthy wandering. He may seem lost from time to time, but it's only because he's reflecting on what the best way to answer a question is. A bit shy, but give him some time and you can see how great he is!

Awesome professor. Loves to talk about his days in France. Brings in lots of interesting props to class to get his students interested, also very unintentionally humorous. Notes on board are very clear. Overall great professor

Comment:

This eccentric chinese man with a chinese, american, french accent presents the material with clarity and is fond of bringing in props to class, but it helps to understand the 3D aspect of Calc 3. He is a little hard to get ahold of, but he's very helpful one on one. Also, he knows everyone's name in a class of 35+

Comment:

Professor Tu is the best Calc III professor. I tell all my friends to take his section. Standard workload for a math course (homework sets due every class, 2 midterms and 1 final). Lectures are VERY informative, take lots of notes (he pretty much writes them on the board for you). Homework is helpful too.

Comment:

Prof. Tu made this class slightly more frustrating than it should have been. I wish he would have just presented the material, as boring as it was, but he instead wanted lots of class participation and often ended up wasting class time, leaving too many things to be learned independently outside of class. Homework is very hard but tests are fair.

Comment:

Professor Tu is a wonderful professor. He is thorough, clear, and enthusiastic. The course gets progressively harder, but Professor Tu works hard to teach as much material as possible. Take advantage of his willingness to answer questions outside of class. Don't fall behind at the end of the semester; the final will hit you like a ton of bricks.

Comment:

These were my favorite courses, and a good deal of that is because of Prof. Tu! He was so much fun. Who knew anyone could be that enthusiastic about group theory?! But I loved the class, and he made it so much fun.
