Reviews of professor Wencen Wu

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you don't like math, please do not attend this class. She is a nice person and try to deliver which is rare in SJSU. Its a heavy class and exams aren't easy either, so be prepared. you ll learn all the jargons of machine learning, which might be useful.

68.75% of your grade is graded by your advisor, so 31.25% of your grade is graded by Prof. Wu. I can almost (99%) guarantee that as long as you do the assignment as the minimum says, you will get 100%. When getting an advisor, ensure you get an easy grader for advisor, regardless if they give good or bad advice.

Nice person, mediocre teacher. Class can be hypnotizing but the slides are well organized. It's a tough class that is full of math theories and inductions so I won't blame her. At least you can tell she cares about the class. That is rare enough in the CMPE department. Grading is not bad.

This professor is nice. She tries to cover Machine Learning from Caltech Textbook "Learning from data". If you work little bit you can get A grade easily.

Prof. Wu is a great professor who really cares about her students. She is readily available at office hours and is very helpful in brainstorming ideas with. The class was mathematical which was expected and needed for this topic. Homework was not bad if you paid attention in class and read the book. She could make the projects more structured.

Seems to be sweet in class however she is a completely random grader and if the students question her on the unfair grading she would just disappear. She will say she will be curving the grades and in the name of curving she will bring down your marks to half. eg; 80/100 becomes 40/100 after curving. If u want good grades do not enroll in her class
