Comment:

I don't consider myself to be good at Math but Dr. Wu really wants her students to do well. She explains concepts clearly and does lots of examples in class that are similar to homework, quiz and test questions. She is willing to help you in any way she can. If you understand the material and do your homework, you will be fine!

Dr. Wu was a really good professor. There were a lot of example problems, and would offer help whenever needed. I would definitely recommend her for math, as she made it a lot easier for me to understand!

Comment:

Professor Wu is very sweet and really wants to make sure you understand the material. At times, you can't always understand exactly what she is referring to but she makes sure to write everything down on the board and take questions after every problem. There's 5 tests, but she'll drop your lowest grade at the end. Great choice for a calc teacher!

She's dedicated and eager to re-explain problems that you don't understand. Attend class, take good notes, practice given materials and you will get good grade

Wu really tries her best to make sure everyone is prepared for tests. If you put in the work and pay attention in class, you'll do well. The only trouble I had was that she has a strong accent and it was difficult for me to understand her at times.

Comment:

She's not a bad professor by any means. But I was definitely one of the people who her teaching style didn't really work for. She does a lot of examples of various scenarios but it doesn't always get the idea across the best. If I hadn't already taken this class before I would have struggled. She's also very rigid about her policies.

Comment:

Professor Wu really wants her students to succeed. I am not a math person, but she made calculus understandable and interesting for me. The test questions are based on the problems she explains during lecture, so it is very important to attend class. The textbook can be helpful if you need another perspective of what she discusses during lecture.

Comment:

Dr. Wu is an amazing professor. She teaches things the more traditional Asian way, where you go through a TON of examples in class of every type of problem you need to know. Each problem is explained very thoroughly and she writes everything out. As long as you make sure you understand and do the practice tests, you'll be fine.

Professor Wu is a great calc 2 teacher who clearly understands the material very well. Her tests are just like the practice exam and if you do the homework and prepare you will do well.

Professor Wu is a very caring professor and is very accessible outside of class. The exams are extremely straightforward and the practice exams are super helpful. Would choose her again even if it means waking up at 7:30 every day!

Dr. Wu is a really caring and respected professor. She is straight forward. She makes sure to teaches all that's gonna show up on the test. Textbook has no use basically. As long as you take note and do the practice test, you will be fine.

Comment:

Took this class during the summer having never taken math reasoning or probability + stats (highly recommend taking those 2 beforehand), concepts were quite hard. That being said, Dr. Wu really does her best to make sure everybody is prepared before tests, absolutely a huge help inside + outside of class. Put time + effort in, you'll get results.

Very nice professor. Although you may not understand her accent at first, it gets better later on. She goes through everything you need to know and gives lots of practice so don't even worry about getting a bad grade.

Comment:

Dr. Wu is a great Calc 1 professor. She goes over everything you need to know. Pay attention to the problems she does in class because she will sometimes use the same ones on exams. She always lets you ask as many questions as you want and makes sure everyone understands before moving on. If you took IB SL math you will get an A easily.

Comment:

In Calc 1 you have a test or quiz once a week. You need to go to lectures because all the problems that she does in class are the same types she uses on the tests. The textbook is not very useful. She does drop one test and one quiz grade but is a pretty harsh grader. I went to her mid-semester and after she was more lenient on grading.

Comment:

Professor Wu is nice and straight to the point. She wants students to do well in the course and will help if you seek it out. She goes over the material very quickly and there is a quiz or exam every week. Go to class regularly-she takes attendance and she wants you to do the problems the way she presents them.

She can be hard to understand in the beginning but you get use to it. She really wants people to ask questions. She teaches you the subject at a super fast pace so if you are not good at calculus you won't pass, take a pre-calc class first.

Comment:

It's sometimes hard to understand her accent but she gives amazing lectures. If you go to class, you'll understand the topic. She'll either give a quiz or exam every week, so you need to keep up with your work. She assigns homework every lecture, but she doesn't check them so you don't have to do them if you just don't care. Put in some effort.

Comment:

In the beginning, Wu seemed very nice and helpful. She's at times very hard to understand and she moves on with material very quickly. She isn't very welcoming to questions. I went to her office hours a couple times & have personally experienced & witnessed her being rude to students when they do not understand material. Quizzes and tests weekly!
