Dr. Wu is fun and the class is informative. BUT his tests will make you crazy. He makes things more difficult than they need to be and his tests are intentionally tricky. You will spend ALOT of time trying to figure out what he really wants you to know and still be frustrated. The pop quizzes suck. WATCH OUT!

Dr. Wu must be leaving the positive comments on this site. He is one of the worst teachers I've had. Lectures, powerpoints,etc. are irrelevent since he quizzes you on other topics. He says in the end it doesn't matter because he grades on a curve so if everyone fails then you can still get an A in the class. So basically he doesnt care if you learn

He would not be a bad teacher if he was more organized. His grading is harsh, it does not reflect actual knowledge. Pop quizzes and unclear online quizzes. The worst part is the attendance grade.

This class is being portrayed as a lot harder and difficult then it really is. The group work is the most difficult so pick a good team because your required to work together weekly. You meet once a week and are required to participate for stamps which go on a card you make. People swear, someone holds them accountable and they cry! Its not bad!

The professor is not good, doesn't tell you what you did wrong, the comment I was given was read the guideline. I took the class online and for the weekly quizzes, you cannot see what you did wrong so I effectively learnt nothing because I did not know what I did wrong or right.

If you are taking his course whenever it is offered, know that you will go through a TERRIBLE time. I am an A student across the board, however, I had a hard time in this class so keep that in mind. In order to pass with a decent/good grade, collaborate with as many people as you can and learn from online sources/people. Also ask alot of questions.

Horrible teacher. 10/10 would never take this class if someone paid me too. Talks on and on about irrelevant content and never anything about the lectures that he posts on teachable. He expects everyone to fail but says he'll curve everyone's grade at the end. The quizzes are MULTIPLE ANSWER not multiple choice, same as the final.

Dont take this professor. He has no respect for his students and blatantly ignored my groups request for clarification. To be straight he is the worst educator I have ever been in a class with on all levels. He does not deserve to be a college professor and in my opinion should immediately leave educating and return to his original job in business

Took this course online. Absolutely ridiculous, and I consider myself a great student. The quizzes are insanely vague and tricky. Even if you study the material, watch every video and read every article, you will probably still get a terrible grade. He hasn't even graded our weekly journals yet (which there are A LOT of). Save your money.

I freaked out by the reviews before taking him and tried switching but couldn't. Overall, his class is simple and not even hard. There is literally two things to do in the class: weekly journals (graded twice a semester so 5 week journals per grading) and quizzes. That is it. Just participate and be ahead of the journals and you will pass.

His online class is easy. Just need to read his PowerPoints, answer questions, take a quiz then that's it for the week. The only problem is that he doesn't really answer emails as often as the class wanted him to. We are just teaching ourselves the material really.

Listen. I took this course online and it is not bad at all! If you are the type of student that likes to learn on their own you will be fine. His lectures consist of PowerPoint slides and videos, you have to answer a few questions and submit them. Then you copy and paste them into your journal. The quiz qs come from his lectures. READ THE SYLLABUS.

I passed this class no problem but it was the most stressful class I have ever taken. Main reason I wanted to write a review was to stand up for fellow classmates. Dr. Wu accused many students of cheating without any evidence, simply because they did really bad on a quiz and did better on the next and now they are being reported. DO NOT RECOMMENDED

Everything that everyone says about this professor is correct so STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROFESSOR. He does weekly quizzes, and journals which was weird because you have to purchase his software Teachable. He doesn't grade entries on Teachable which you purchase but the Blackboard ones he does. For those taking the class, good luck with his class.

This class was interesting; however, the most stressful due to the professor not caring about how to help students but to accuse them of cheating to report them. I personally asked for help to get a better grade on journals and instead he gave me a one sentence feedback not explaining why I got the grade I did. Save yourself the stress..

Hope you enjoy getting your butt pounded by lots of confusing homework. Yes, the class is easy. We get it. However, the professor is not. Incredibly vague powerpoints, $30 to take his class despite paying thousands in tuition already, and hard to reach via email. This dude is the epitome of your entry-level boss at Kohl's. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Literally the worst professor at CSUSB! He made us pay extra to get access to his "material" which were very vague and he would literally upload YouTube videos! I obviously passed the class by teaching myself and he would accuse people of cheating if they got good quiz grades! Class consists of many discussion posts and quizzes every week!

Quizzes every week and dull journal entries which he doesn't even read. He makes you get a paid subscription to a third-party website (because he gets a cut). If you do well on the quizzes he accuses you of cheating and warns that he will seek academic consequences. Very uninvolved and is more interested in catching cheaters than helping students.

He does not clarify the content of the course and he does not help answer questions, this course will cause you headaches and anxiety! STAY AWAY!

Horrible professor. He allows you to switch to his online course but it takes several emails before he sees it. All the quizzes are stated to be rigged so you either fail or are accused of cheating. Homework is graded twice in the term poorly. Pay $30 for his notes on a website that he gets paid from. Save yourself from the unnecessary stress.

The quizzes are tricky and possibly trick questions. He curves the whole class and not individual assignments. If you put fourth effort and show an understanding of the material. You will most likely get an A. It is a stressful semester though. He is knowledgeable, kind of funny and a good lecturer. Do your work and show interest.

Professor Wu provides lectures and PDF's in which he makes you take a quiz at the end of the week. Don't try to cheat by googling or Quizlet because he intentionally add them but with a twist of words. He curves your grade at the end if you try. I went from a C to an A. Try your best and be honest and he will pass you. Tough grader but fair.
