Reviews of professor Min Wu

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This is the worst class that I have ever taken. I took AP Calc in High School, and got an A over the same material. I took the class again, hoping for an easy transition to college, but this was definitely not it. The examples given were just formulas, and everything was explained poorly. MASH was way more helpful in teaching me what I needed.

If you don't come into the class with a prior understanding of the subject, the class will be hard. The grade is entirely dependent on tests.

Overall a greatprofessor. The course is very test heavy ( 2 midterms is 60%, final exam is 25%, weekly quizzes are 15%, and lab is 5%). However, she assigns weekly practice problems which are the exact same as exams. I always felt prepared and has plenty of study time for this class cause no homework. Exams are out of 120%, so room for extra credit

Basically just read over her already written notes, so lectures were not much help. Definitely go to the Math Tutoring Center and MASH for help.

Professor Wu is the best math instructor I have ever had! She is super intelligent and able to explain abstract concepts very well! Homework helps understanding the material and exams are reasonable. Unlike some teachers with odd grading criteria (quizzes or exams only), prof wu grades fairly.

She knows the material, but doesn't teach it well. Her lectures consist of over-explaining the simple stuff and barely mentioning the things we actually need to learn. Quizzes are only 3 questions and the only things that count for credit (there's no homework. At all. Labs are 5%). And on a gen-ed class? No thanks...

A great professor who always explained everything clearly. The class is very test and quiz heavy, but she assigns lots of practice problems. Assessment problems are also taken directly from practice problems so be sure to complete all of the problems. Tests also have extra credit problems that really help your grade.

Although the class was heavily dependent on three tests worth 85% of the grade, I thought that she was able to clearly and effectively teach the material of the course, and I learned a lot more from this class than my teacher in high school. Definitely a solid choice for a professor in my opinion.

Wu was a new prof when I had her for Calc 2. She's clearly very intelligent and knows her stuff, just not how to teach. Graded 80% on three tests. Lectures were basically worthless as she only gave definitions and did problems but didn't really explain how. Material isn't actually that bad but I had no prior and taught myself the whole curriculum.
