Reviews of professor Jason Wu

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Wu seemed like a really nice man, and I'm sure in other classes he'd be a great teacher too. But, this class was honestly terrible. The material was somehow over my head but also common sense, I can't really explain. But I know I didn't learn anything, and I only went to class because we had a pop quiz either that monday or wednesday.

Professor was not accommodating at all. Not open to any feedback or discussion. If you can avoid taking his class, save yourself.

Avoid taking POLSY205 if you can, the class is a very complicated course about methods of research, not much political related info. His lectures were so unbelievably dry that I had to stop going. You are graded on the midterm, final, and a research proposal. Not necessarily the hardest grade but you do have to heavily prepare for all three

Definitely go to class to give your grade a cushion. Wu really works hard to make sure his students understand the material. Make sure to study for the exams, but I didn't think the exams to be particularly hard, they were representative of what was taught. Just make sure to do the study guide and review before the tests, and you'll do just fine

He is seriously a good professor and a very nice guy. I wish I could take more of his classes!

Prof. Wu seems like a sincerely nice guy. However, Y-205 is a garbage fire. The AIs were provided minimal and unhelpful feedback. Also, the assigned reading for this course is A LOT, but I stopped reading halfway through and ended up with an A. Unless you're a PoliSci major and need this class, I would say skip it. I learned nothing meaningful.

Really helps his students succeed. Go to his office hours!

Exhibits a lack of dynamic lecturing most solid college professors have. Professor Wu has dry and vague class lecture style, with inconsistent and non-explanatory grading. Do not take this class if you are interested in actually learning productive content or getting an A in a Gen Ed.

The Professor is nice and clearly smart but the class is horrible. So unbelievably lecture heavy with no time to actually apply or practice the seemingly endless amount of information thrown at you. No assignments, which is nice, but completely limits understanding. The Midterm is super easy, and then the final is ridiculously hard.

Intelligent professor but not very good at translating and uses too hard of ideas without explanation for a 200 level class.

Excellent prof, great guy. Definitely would take again

Super confusing class, if you think you are analyzing politics you are wrong. Very boring class, and the midterm and final is hard work and you are given very little time to prepare. I don't recommend but I had to take this.
