Reviews of professor Xianghua Wu

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I wouldn't recommend taking professor wu because of his final is the heaviest one is worth 50% of all your grade it will determine your grade to pass or fail and your 2 midterms are 10%. each, homework and quizzes are worth 15% each and the only way to learn from this class is teaching your self and use resources like chegg to solve the problems

I was so worried with his reviews to take OPMA with him, but this has to be the easiest class I have ever had at UTA in my fourth year. Exam reviews are literally the exam and you start with a 40% even if you get a 0 on the exam. Not great for actually learning much and lectures are hard to understand. Gives great reviews and very light assignments

Easy and interesting class. A lot of group work and presentations. Class is easy to pass as long as you show you try. She's very lenient on grading and provides feedback on every work.

Assignments points 30 points x 7  210 Quizzes points 40 points x 6  240 Middle Term Exams points 200 points x 1  250 Final Exam 300 points x 1  300 All online because of COVID-19, the lectures were pre-recorded videos from last semester with lots of gaps in them because he went to the white board to solve problems. Used YouTube to study.

Professor Wu is an amazing teacher and clearly cares about her students. She is also passionate about her students learning Mandarin well, so she is very patient. M-Th, online Fri, homework every day, but it's very straightforward and take 20 mins at most. 3 oral presentations (in groups), 1 final project, a couple of simple essays. She's awesome!

Honestly, his lectures were not helpful for me. He would just read off powerpoints and not explain, however, if you have any questions he is more than willing to help and explain in detail. One midterm, one final, 7 assignments, 7 quizzes. Curves are given at the end of the semester but don't count on the curve to pass. You HAVE to study.

Don't believe on the overall rating. I took him cause I paid my tuition late(the only professor available). Study well for the midterm so you can afford to lose some points in the final. He's hard to understand but you'll get the hang of it.

AVOID THIS CLASS. I am barley through the half way mark of this semester and this teacher is absolutely absurd. She expects way too much from her students; she is an extremely tough grader. This class is an Area C humanities lower division general ed class. It should not be this challenging. Not worth it!!!!

She's kind, and she will be patient with you and help you to understand concepts, but I've never met a tougher grader in my life. She is a perfectionist to a maddening degree and there's a ton of back to back work. It starts to feel hopeless that she nitpicks all your endless hard work to an inch of its life, but she teaches the content very well.
