Prof Wu took over my class whenever my professor got ill and WOW, what a difference! He focused on participation and group activities. He had a loud voice and actively asked for participation from the class room. Tests are on lockdown browser and open book! Says he retired and he does this for fun, which you can definitely tell. 100% recommended

Professor Wu is a genuine professor, one of the great professors who you can talk to about anything. He is a great teacher who does great in lectures but does a great job at applying real-world current issues into the class and keeps students intrigued and engaged, probably my favorite professor as a business student.

He was a great professor, just make sure that you are in class participating and listening because eventually you will be learning a lot of math every other day you have his class. Although this class was extremely difficult for me personally, a lot of other students did good in the class. He also does have a lot of extra credit opportunities!

Professor Wu is one of the best professors I've had. His lectures are clear and well-organized. He explains concepts in a way that makes them understandable, even if you're new to the material. Grading is fair, and he definitely takes the time to offer helpful feedback outside of class. You can tell he cares about students' success.

I enjoyed taking this class, it was clear to understand as long as you come to class. You will do a group assignment each week but it easy and the groups consist of 5+ students. The lectures weren't as long compared to other professors, but they were very organized and detailed. I would 100% recommend this professor.

The class material was tough but Prof. Wu makes it easier. He just has his TA grade all the in-class group assignments. The lectures were long but as long as you have a chill group for the in-class assignments you'll be chillin. He gives some extra credit so you should be good. Defo recommend taking him compared to the other teachers.

Great professor, very supportive and knowledgeable about class topics. You choose a group for the semester and work with them to complete in-class group assignments that basically serve as his way of taking attendance. Exams and quizzes are in-person and open note, but exams require lockdown browser. No projects or big assignments. Def recommend!

The course content was heavy, so the lectures seemed long and rushed. However, if you ask questions he will slow down and go over the concept again. He is very tech savvy so quizzes and tests are all online. He really wants you to pass and he is fair. However, the concepts were tough especially the calculations problems.

this class is a combination of 140 and 190. 50% lecture and 50% group activities in class. you'll need to know excel and solver really well to get a good grade in the class. professor walks around the class to help with the group assignment and spends time 1 on 1 to troubleshoot my models. would recommend this professor.

He's so tough about grading and he doesn't really fully explain things when you ask him for help. He just expects you to know all of it after 1 lecture. His model exams are hard because he gives at least one or two long problems that you're just supposed to be able to finish including the other problems in 1 class period

He also provides extra credits if you need help with your work, and I can't say enough that he is also hilarious and makes the teaching more engaging.
