Reviews of professor Sang Wu

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Grading was demanding for an introductory writing course. She seemed to have invisible expectations that are never made clear - would talk about different possible options then dock marks for things she doesn't like. Lectures just rehash the textbook, and she likes to patronize students. WRDS150 really depends on the prof. Be warned.

i was pleasantly surprised. initially, i thought she was quite harsh but it seems as though she does care about her students. she personally reaches out and is quite generous with extensions. only reason i am not giving her a 5 is because she picked a dull topic for the course and is monotonous. NOT a hard course. put in the effort. it pays off.

Sang constantly talks for too long during class and never gets through the content she is supposed to teach on time. It is very easy to lose marks on homework for little things, and she tries to cram too much into the course. Our final research paper basically started 3 weeks before the end of classes, and she barely tells us how to write it.

good prof but not sure what the purpose of this course. maybe in Phd this is useful but I am in 1st year. just uni is not making sense to me anymore. just like racket course in ICS.

Didn't find lectures useful what so ever. By the end it seemed like what ever you went into the final project with was the grade you were going to receive. If possible do not take!

Insane lack of enthusiasm makes it very hard to stay engaged in class. Offers constructive criticism but tone and explanations are extremely condescending (especially when she laughs at mistakes). Tough marker and doesn't offer sufficient justification for grades given. Only nice thing is that she is accommodating and gives extensions when needed.

Dr. Wu doesnt really clearly outline what she expects of you for assignments and essays & doesn't provide much feedback unless YOU ask for it in office hours or something. The lectures are basically just re-reading parts of the textbook... Its not too hard to get a good mark in her class but be ready to put in the work on your end.

I did end up getting an A- but for the final paper, there were no comments made anywhere on the rubric, it seemed as if the marking was very rushed. I also heavily participated in lectures and still did not receive full credit for participation which is 20% of the final grade. During office hours her feedback was often confusing and vague.

the final grade is unbelivable low, even for the whole class, can you believe the average is just B- for whole class? don't receive the grades she said given by participation, and she didn't give any feed back on final paper.
