Reviews of professor Nan Wu

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
To be fair, the course as a whole generally sucks, and isn't something that anyone enjoys. However, he wasn't the clearest professor and tended to move very quickly. Many people struggled to learn from him, and I turned to using MIT video lectures rather than relying on him to teach me.

Professor Wu does not mess around. His lectures are fast paced and packed from beginning to end, but he always complements his work with many examples which allows for small breathers in between and they help to clarify the material. On the whole he is a good professor, not too much homework and the exams are fair. I would recommend him for Math212

Math 212 gets a bit of an unfounded bad reputation at Duke. Dr. Wu completely obliterates this. He is by far the best multi prof, he really cares about his students, will answer any question regardless of how "basic", and goes out of his way to make sure students know how to solve problems. Tests are fair and based on homework. Nan the Man.

Don't listen to anyone who badmouths this prof. I was upset to hear many students pretending like language barrier was an issue here. It's not. Wu is one of the best MATH profs at Duke. His lectures are clear and engaging, and he is a wizard on the chalkboard. Really takes a visual approach to teaching and honestly the class was easy to understand.
