Reviews of professor Wenwu Xu

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Xu is a great, caring professor! The class is made up of TopHat attendance questions, weekly homework assignments, and three midterms. The midterms are very difficult so make sure to study the lecture slides and textbook problems. The class is not a walk in the park, take this class seriously because this class is challenging.

Hard class and you need to work hard for a good grade, but Wenwu did a good job of teaching. You are going to have to make sure you understand how to do the HW and the theoretical concepts taught in class if you want a good grade. Grade is just made up of three tests. Very caring and accessible to questions go to office hours if your confused.

Xu is a very easy going and understanding professor. He is willing to work around and change deadlines if it is easier for the class. Tough grader but is willing to curve. He also gives out ample extra credit.

He teaches kinda slow, with HW every week, you need to stay on top of work. His lectures provide good resources for what you need in order to pass, but to do well, I suggest doing lecture problems as well as book problems to study. All tests allow a formula sheet. He uses TopHat in order to take attendance and give out class questions.

A lot of gen chem concepts. if he does a problem in class it'll be on the exam. the hard HW problems will also be on the exam. if its a confusing concept, it will be on the exam. Just like any hard class, study and you'll be fine.

Not the worst, not the best. The exams can get hard, so make sure to study.

Review the hw problems and practice problems from lectures for the midterms, they are tough!!! HW answers are posted a few days before its due, quizzes are open note but exams are difficult. He applied a curve after the 2nd midterm when he realized how low the class average was. Cool dude, very understanding, will give extensions.

Wenwu is a good person but his class was kinda slow paced . It also didn't help that it was an 8 am. Tests are difficult and have some tricky questions. Tests are curved . Random attendance . Hwk and attendance are only 10%, the rest are tests.

great professor. dresses with an unprecedented amount of drip, also can be pretty funny. Wenwu's TA is a harsh grader, you have to know what you're doing to get even partial credit. I did well in statics and in ME240 but still had to study a lot. if you don't like to study it would probably be hard to pass this class with Wenwu.

Love the professor, the class is not as enjoyable. Very chemistry based but the homework is easy. All quizzes and tests are open book and you can control f the slides.
