Reviews of professor Ruiwen Shu

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
His lectures can be confusing because he likes to skip over steps he finds "easy" to him. Also if you ask him a question in lecture, he doesn't answer it in depth. The lecture doesn't really help with the homework/quizzes/midterms since the examples in class almost never are on the same difficulty as the ones you are expected to solve.

Came to class 2 times in first week only but first test felt pretty easy. He posts all notes and non-mandatory attendace. Can use the wayback machine on his website for earlier diffeq class test/notes. Understand all the notes and the test will be fine. Gives ample example problems for practice.

He is very clear and has high standard. Difficult, but worth it.

He was a decent professor. In lecture he wrote notes on pieces of paper under a document camera. It was difficult to understand what he was saying, but manageable. Some tests were impossible while others were okay. He really varied when I took him. He posted his notes online and responded to emails very quickly. Not a bad pick for a weedout class.

Horrible lecturer. Decent guy, but his lectures are horrible. Doesn't use slides. All of his lectures are him writing on a piece of paper and projecting it on the screen. No resources available and TAs clueless. If you have never taken calc before DO NOT take this class. Literally people wrote a petition to math department fix the unfair class.

Ruiwen Shu is a great professor that gives very clear and decisive notes. He does well at explaining everything and sets up his notes so that they are easy to follow when you review them later. There were a lot of exams and homeworks, but that was just the nature of the class (MATH141). Exams were rather straight forward.
