This course is SO EASY. And he seems to me like he wants his students to do well, despite the other comments. He's apparently reworked his course. It's good now.

Most people don't like him because they are too dumb to understand the course so they blame their own lack of intelligence on him. The ones who complain the hardest are the dumbest ones who just can't do math. Funny in a awkward and unintended way.

tho alot of students don't like him as a prof, he is better than W.H cherry. He exlains the matierals in a way that we can understand. notes are helpful and the handout is useful for the ass't questions!

Awesome class, easiest stat course ever taken! Open book quizzes and exams! How can you beat that?

Best class ever!!!!!!!1

a great prof, makes stats so much easier!

This prof is great! His English has improved a lot, and he really shows interest and enthusiasm in the material. His lectures make the course clear and easy, getting an A is no problem! He's very helpful outside lecture time too. He made me even wanna go for STAT grad! Wonderful learning experience!

Seems to me that he loves the subject he's teaching so much. He explaines everything clearly, and know how to make people understand. Unlike prof's who only know how to write down notes on the board.

really nice guy and great prof. he tried his best to make everything clear, i was worry about this course before i took it, but now i understand all the stuff and found simulation is really interesting topic.

This guy is a straight up G. Cool prof. Very lively lectures. Has an accent, but every one can handle it. Very good notes. But sometimes leaves important parts out that are sometimes on tests.

Ok prof, tests covered everything not taught in class. No review at all for final material.

nice prof!

i was dreading taking this class, but i was surprised by how much i enjoyed it. very easy to do well just by doing all of the assignments. it's nice to see a prof who enjoys what he is teaching, and his english is definitely tolerable (especially compared to other actsci/stats profs)

Good prof, but rarely available for extra help. Doesn't show up to scheduled office hours and seems a bit impatient when approached. Interesting course with a very difficult final.

Clear examples. Comes to class with no notes in his hand but still lectures well and shows he clearly knows his stuff. Has an accent but not hard to interpret.

He lectures well and examples are very very helpful to the tests. Most students in his class get over 20 out of 24 on the test. Stat becomes easier in his class.

really a good prof. in UW

His notes are crucial, since the course doesn't follow the textbook. Also very important to do assignments. VERY helpful in office hours if you make the time to go. Not as helpful in class, doesn't seem like he understands student questions in class.

a pretty good and nice prof., just take his course!!!!!!!

great prof. explains things clearly and understands the material extremely well. no accent as well.

Nice prof!!! He makes STAT interesting and easy to understand. Not very much work to do outside class. Assignments are helpful.

Really good prof. Explain all the concepts clear and give very useful examples. Not very easy. He makes the class very interesting!

He is a good prof! easy marks and interesting course!

Gives great examples during class and has helpful tutorials. I found the midterms very fair but the final had a lot of confusing and poorly worded questions. All in all good prof and interesting course

Such a nice and adorable prof. He gives really useful examples in class. I went to his office hours during the final exam period, and he just sat down with me and led me through some of the practice problems I had trouble with. Couldn't have done as well on the final exam without his help =)

A funny guy and an interesting course. He does good examples in class and his tutorials are mandatory, since he provides more examples in them. If you attend class and do the questions he assigns your are pretty much set for this course.

Great prof!He makes STAT 230 interesting and easy to understand. I was engaged to his class. Exams are similar to the examples during class. I am glad I had him as my prof:)

Easy class, do the end of chapter questions and go to class and your pretty well guaranteed a 90. He's a good prof, a little annoying when he randomly stops to yell at someone to stop talking.... in a class of 400.

attending this class is extremely recommended.he gives very clear and helpful notes.90+ is guaranteed if you attend all the lectures+tutorials.

He is professional! Based on what he told us, he started to become a prof at age 19.. WOW! And plus he teaches the material really well.. But one problem is, in my opinion, his exam is a little bit too hard... specially the last 2 questions on thie term final.. So, need to work hard on both tests and exam!

Do attend all his lectures and tutorials if you want get a really good mark! He is crystal clear in his explanations, although he is rude sometimes which does not undermine his overall quality.

clear and detailed lectures and notes.very easy quizzes and ok final. a little bit rude sometimes. his accent is acceptable.good prof overall,perhaps the best for stat230

presents very intuitive explanations of probability, helpful if you haven't studied it before; useful examples (especially during his tutorials) and explains applications, and I found him quite personable for a math prof -- but he glanced over the theory and proofs which were heavily tested

He explained the concepts very clear and provided lots of examples. His accent is acceptable. I almost attended every lecture and got a good grade.

A good Prof,with acceptable accent, always provides good examples. Go to all the lectures and do the assigned problems then 90 is guaranteed. I think people say he's rude probably because he doesn't answer their questions in the class. I think he wants to teach as much as possible in the class and prefers students asking questions after class.

This course is heavy on theory, so it is quite challenging. However I think Prof. Wu introduces the theory very well. The application side is lacking, but the general idea in the course is very clear; you want to find the most efficient estimator. Prof. Wu has high expectations from students in STAT 454, so don't expect to walk into a bird course.

His lectures are kind of hard to follow but office hour is very useful. He is indeed sometimes critical but I guess it's just a personality thing. He really knows the course material well. learned a LOT of stats in his course, such a rewarding experience.

Best professor ever! Maybe he has changed recently. I don't know about the review of him in the past, but now his attitude for work is very nice! His teaching is very logical and clear, with smile on his face! The exam is totally ok if you follow the notes and practice question.

I don't understand why there are so many bad comments on Prof Wu. I am taking his STAT 230 this winter term and I think he is quite a good professor. Indeed he is kind of an old-school person, but that makes him cute and his jokes are quite hilarious. Also I think his explanation in class is very clear. And his accent is not a big problem.

I don't know why this prof has such low reviews. I didn't find him to be rude at all, in fact I think he really took the time to engage his students and show how passionate he is about stats. The material was quite technical but he took the time to explain proofs. Tests were deceptively easy though!

He is really great, very clear and interesting.

Amazing prof. Really knowledgeable, he explains the concepts clearly and intuitively. He makes the stuff really straightforward and easy to understand. He likes to directly pull questions from his notes to exams. Definitely recommend.

AMAZING professor! I don't know why his rating is so low. His teaching was very clear and I felt like I really learnt the material. Tests and exams are almost exclusively based on examples from lectures and practice problems and he gives bonus marks for STAT 450 students (when it's held with STAT 850). Two double-sided cheat sheets for the final.

Prof. Wu is actually the statistical expertise in sampling theory. I love his teaching style. He will show you the theorems and conclusion before the class but the derivation proof will only be in class. He can explain everything in Sampling Theory clearly and logically. A very respected professor!

I had 54 in my midterm, but the class average was 75. Thus nothing to complain. He doesn't really bother you with grading, but you need to follow the proofs he writes in class. Don't waste your time dealing with the extra questions on his course notes; rather review the assignments. Final project is okay as long as you start early and cite well.
