Reviews of professor Hao Wu

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Flipped classroom videos that are very hard to understand. TA graded everything and would take off points for things prof said was fine. Prof wouldnt check until it was brought up by student in office hours. Awful class overall, very confusing and would not recommend. Able to pass but have to put a lot of work in for something that should be easy

Dr. Wu has given the most in-depth feedback from any professor I've had freshman year. He seriously puts effort into making changes based on student opinion and makes you feel like he really cares. The videos and notes he provides are high quality and a good study resource, very organized and structured.

The class itself is not super work heavy. The homework is based on the discussions. The discussion (class) is so boring and very unproductive. He is a harsh, VERY SPECIFIC grader on exams. They are unnecesarily hard. Oh and he will curve DOWN so that only 30% of class gets an A. AVOID HIM IF POSSIBLE.

Professor Wu seems to care about his students, but his class is incredibly boring and Ive learned almost nothing.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Weekly homework and quizzes that aren't too bad if you use the key he posts online to guide you. Class is boring and you are expected to come in already knowing the content (he posts videos online) and be able to do the homework. Exams aren't too bad if you study and know the content. Not a terrible class, but would not recommend.

Overall, Professor Wu is very kind and helpful. He was always happy to meet with me to answer my questions. There were two exams and a cumulative final. The exams were long with some difficult questions. However, I felt well-prepared for the exams. Participation, 10 homeworks, and 10 quizzes also contributed to the final course grade.

Hao deeply cares about learning for the sake of learning. Flipped classroom style, which some love and others don't. Lots of partial & extra credit, half the class gets an A/A- which is 89%+. Heavy emphasis on theoretical points, you'll learn a lot from discussion keys and doing the HW. Participation points are easy, don't need many to get a 100%.

Hao Wu teaches largely without giving clear instructions, lectures, or tests. The homeworks are manageable and possible to get an A but the tests (50% of grade) however diverge completely from the material discussed in homeworks and reaches tangentially into lectures. In the cumulative final, he had to explain the short answers >five times. Tough.

Hes straightforward in his lecturing, and gives a few homework assignments and quizzes. Other than that, there are two midterms and a final... he is very kind and wants the best for his students, so if you give your best itll all go well!
