Dr. Wu has a thick accent, but he's a good teacher.Made intro to logic easy. All tests and essays are take homes and done on internet. Very easy. In class quizzes are pretty simple, but ypou have to review a little. Nice person and encourages discussions.
PHIL 6 is an easy class -- Mr. Wu did everything in his power to change that. It was as if he wanted his students to fail.
Dont take his intro to logic class, made simple concepts very diffeicult. Neglects to help student on work during class. Quizzs very difficult.
I could tell you if it was a good class or not but i couldnt understand what he was saying.
Worst teacher, goes off how Chinesse culture is better than American Culture. Terrible teacher, doesnt help students during class. Hard to understand. Gives hard quizes and homeworks.
You can't understand anything he says, he's accent is too much.
Bad English, makes concepts way harder than they really are. If you have any kind of Christian beliefs don't show them, he thinks of Christianity and the Bible as crap.
He is so hard to understand. Goes way too fast on material. Not very personable. Gets mad when you're 3 mins late. Thinks our culture is so disrespectful. Acts like we're so stupid because we don't understand.
OH MY GOD!! Run while you can this is the worst teacher ever!!! Dont get me wrong he is a GREAT person but that does him no good in class. He is hard to understand and makes learning a chore, his way of teaching is through the damn computer and limited english. By god dont take this class!
I have learned a lot from this class. It's true his accent is very thick but he is a good teacher and very passionate about what he's teaching. It's really not that hard at all...I didn't study for the tests and still got good grades. It takes little effort to do good in his class in my opinion.
What the hell is wrong with you people? Yes, his accent is very thick but he's an extremely good teacher. He made his own computer program to help teach logic. Venn diagrams in color, and truth tables all layed out. You don't even have to buy a textbook. Goes over tough questions too. A good teacher
very strange teacher, speaks little english, if you want to pass the class sit up front and takes tons of notes, try to find another teacher for any of his classes, the worst teacher in the world at any college!
More than half the class failed and previous students in the current class had failed the one before as well.Phil 18 is a hard class to begin with and everything was very unclear. His accent is very strong and it was difficult to understand.
Needs to find a new line of work.
He tends to express his political views rather than focus on the class material.
Very knowledgable in his field
He is undoubtably intelligent.Yes,a very thick accent,but it becomes much easier to undertsand as the semester progresses.I was late everyday,and he never game me a hard time.I would recommend someone else for this class,because the material is sophisticated,and the accent makes it hard.Never any homework.Tests were incredibly difficult.
This is the worst college professor I've had yet. He's intelligent, but he can't teach very well. He's unclear about what he expects, his attendance policy is ridiculous, and his classes were boring. He really managed to make a very interesting topic uninteresting. I might have liked him as a person in another setting, but not as a teacher.

Why everybody think so? He gives us lots of extra credits as long as you follow his policy!! He is not bad.
I did not enjoy this class or this teacher. I thought I was doing middle-to-average range in his class and I ended up failing it! I later took the same class with Chris Bauer and did excellent. I do not recommend this teacher.
He is nice, It's just his accent that makes him so hard to understand. He is kinda boring. It is easy to make excuses if you are nto going to be in class though. If you e-mail him, he will likely let you off the hook.
he was the worst teacher in the world. I got an A in his class and he tought me nothing, I had to learn from other students in the class. He let 17 people fail his class and never offered help.
This teacher is difficult to understand, due to his method of lecture type and his accent makes it even more difficult to comprehend his lecture. He never offered extra credit in my class and he required 100% attendance (no excuses to miss class, not even if it is medical problem). He is very strict and will not make any exceptions for anyone!
Do not take this teacher, if you dont want to come out of the class more confused than when you entered it. He is incredibly boring, hard to understand, rambles on monotonously and does not help you at all.
So horrible..I had to drop 2 of his classes...I'm an audio learner and his teaching is horrible...you can understand nothing he says and his class makes no sense..he spends the whole time forcing his opinions on you..

Extremely hard to understand what he is saying
His accent may be a bit difficult at first, but I still enjoy his class. I find that his explanations of the concepts we are discussing to make a lot of sense, I'm not struggling at all. And I've pretty much gotten used to the accent.
He's got good content but his accent will give you trouble unless you're asian. He tends to ramble and says the word "uh" about 6000 times per class. He's also prone to saying, "yah you know" when no one knows what the **** he's talking about. He'd be good if his accent was a little better and his room was actually air conditioned to prevent going catatonic.

You can tell a teacher is horrible when there there are so many comments WARNING you not to take his class(s). This guy is so hard to understand, not to mention learn from, that you might end up in a mental institution. Not only that he only uses power point to teach from, which is above the level of your eyes... and will all the boringness you just tend to fall asleep in the the dark filled room. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!! WARNING!
Okay, things you need in order to take this class effectively: A functioning brain, ears, an open mind, correct english/grammar (unlike more than half of previous posters). His accent takes a day to get used to, and I think you shouldn't take this class IF you are christian and intolerant (keyword=intolerant), it will make you question your faith.
When a teacher tells me to leave all of my beliefs at the door so he can have a clean slate, I am immediately suspicious. This teacher is no exception. He definitely tries to preach the virtues of eastern faiths and preach the shortcomings of western religion. Not recommended.
Simply put,this man is the worst teacher I have ever had... ever. Should seriously consider changing careers pal.
Worst class, and worst teacher i have ever had. He is extremely hard to understand, and is not good answering questions. Trust me, you don't want to take his class. I think half of the class failed.
Really hard class. Mr. Wu is really hard to understand in beginning, but if you pay attention you will do well. Really study for the quizzes and go to class because he will give you extra credit. He is a good teacher as long as you put in a lot of work. Dont take this class if you dont want to work hard.
He is a wonderful teacher. He makes me wake up and run to my 8 am class. I've learned more from him then I ever dreamed. He is non judging and open to everyones opinion. He is very qualified to teach Phil 6 with this teacher I would recomend to everyone in college. Be open minded and you'll love his teaching.
He's not that hard but he definitely ain't easy. Has intresting points of view, doesn't do extra credit much, all work is online, not afraid to touch any topic. Not as offending as everyone else claimed. You will get use to his accent after a couple days. Wintersession was hard.
Wu is a disgrace to Butte college. I was looking forward to this class, his accent didn't faze me. His Anti -American agenda did. He must love having a captured audience, one he can TRY and force his opinions on.He isn't teaching to share his knowledge on philo, he didn't have time for it in class.Education is too important to be wasted like this!
I don't know what you guys are talking about! Dr. Wu is a great teacher! He keeps you interested and can be very helpful if you have any questions. He;s not that hard to understand only if you really listen to him. I recommened this teacher to anyone who is interested in learning about eastern religions!!
If you are interested in understand meta-physics or exploring ideas I suggest you stray from this class. The problem with the professorm maybe he isn't a native English speaker, but nevertheless his class is perplexing.Plato and Aristotle are rarely discussed
This teacher was great you just have to open your mind. I learned a lot. I don't think any Phil teacher scores high. People miss understand the subject. He never tries to push his bleifs and I'm not asian.
horrible teacher, you basically have to teach yourself off a textbook he wrote that makes no sense, in class he basically just tells you about his opinions about politics, religion, America, etc; the whole time telling you you have no right to an opinion and that you should be open minded when he definitly isn't
He didn't outline what he expected from us very well. I studied a bunch of stuff for the first test I didn't even need. I'm going out of town and he won't let me take the final early. I have the highest grade in his class and it's an 80%... tha'ts saying somthing! If you're taking this for general ed then I advise you to pick another teacher.
I liked this teacher. He is a really nice guy that talks of how improving yourself improves the world. Thick accent but understandable if you try. Essay questions can be hard to figure out exactly what he wants, and tests can be a tad specific on wording. But I did love taking Eastern Religons with him.
Warning do not take his Winter Session class. I have been going to Butte College for a few years and Wu is the worst teacher I have yet to have. He is a nice guy, but a bad techer. Wu is very smart, but he can't teach at all! WARNING!WARNING!WARNING! DO NOT TAKE THIS MAN!
Taking his late start class isn't reccomended. I don't think I could unserstand half of the words he is saying. Don't argue with him, because he will always refer to his general arguement as a counter. Don't buy the book, it doesn't do any good. Don't bother listening to him in class(confusing), and just hit the blackbord. Nice guy.STUDYHARD.
smart teacher. little bit of accent but understandable. he knows what he's talking about. interesting & educational class. attendance is mandatory + blackboard stuff. do all your work and have good attendance & you'll pass the class + do okay on the final. He's a smart guy with a lot of interesting things to say. enjoyed his class.
By far lowered my expectations of a college professor the material he wrote was rough to understand. Lectures are one of the biggest waste of time.Dr. Wu has the worse accent making lectures pointless.When you would ask a question he would put you on a spotlight telling you to look at the text and not explain the answer.DON'T TAKE HIM
In my opinion, he is a really knowledgeable professor, who is helpful by his deep heart and friendly with everyone. As the way he talks, you can tell how much he care about students; he try his best to teach, also make the topics as interesting as he can. Thus, he is really willing to help students sincerely, even the difficulties is hard to solve.
Sitting in class and was wondering how this guy even received his teaching credential. After reading all of the other ratings I am witnessing their experiences first-hand. This guy loves himself and his personal wisdom. Difficult to understand and everything is self taught. Lectures pointless and frustrating. Refuses to clearly answer q's.
Was retaking Introduction to Logic due to scheduling issues, so I already knew most of what we would be learning. However, I found it even more confusing than the first time I took the class. His accent isn't an issue, but he teaches in only his own way and is unable to change to help any students. Very difficult to actually learn.
If you pay attention and don't chit chat your time away, you can earn an A. He cares about his students and provides a free textbook to make the class affordable. His accent is not as bad as I was warned. Study hard and show up.
Class is very hard cant miss any days. If you put in the work you wil get an A. Accent a little strong but the extra credit he gives helps but you really need to earn it. Only hard if you do not keep up. Great teacher
Translates the way we use language quite nicely. In addition he uses very tactful ways of instilling mathematics and interpreting logic with you.
He is a nice guy and his class is not that hard if you read the book and go to class. To get an A is not that hard. However, he was always off topic, and it was hard to bring him back to the class when he was interested in talking some of his favorite topics. I would recomment him to you.
His logic class was not the easiest class, but it's not the hardest either. Good use of Blackboard. Helpful online textbook which he created himself. Relevant and interesting examples of subject material. Smart guy! Extra credit for just showing up.
Very interesting class. Heavy Blackboard usage. Good class discussions. I was only frustrated that he required a text book, but we barely used it. He did allow older versions of the textbook to save students CASH. Very nice and intelligent teacher. Participate in Blackboard discussions, take advantage of extra credit oppurtunities.
So i had expected a hard class beings that it is intro to logic. I had no idea what i was getting myself into the class itself was not hard it was trying to understand Mr.Wu all class was the hard part. It helps to have a laptop s you can follow his discussion on blackboard during class. its the only way to interprret what he is saying.
honestly, as a professor and instructer, he is what everyo instructer should be like. He has a heavy workload, and if you dont get it right away, you better catch up. He tries to help out, but each student is so differnt than the next its hard to meet each individuals needs. He is hard to understand, its just how it is. Here is the thing though, yo
Wu is hard to understand de to the accent. He is set in his ways. This is liek a math class, mostly memorizing formulas and taking quizzes. You can get an A if you study and always come to class. Heavy blackboard use. Interesting material some of the time. Its a hard class but doable. I got an A.
Wei-Ming Wu is a good instructor and I think anyone with an open mind would benefit from taking his class. His Chinese accent may be difficult for some to understand at times.
PHIL 18 WARNING!! WARNING!! DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! He means well, but you can't understand him because of his accent and because he goes off topic and has no structure to his lectures. Half my class was asleep from day one.
Mr. Wu is really not a bad teacher. He is actually extremely interesting and really engages your critical thinking skills. I truly enjoyed his class and really took a lot out of it. There are 2 things I can think of that are downsides- his accent can be hard to understand, and his tests are ridiculously hard- do the reading!!
He is a very nice guy, but his classes were VERY boring. Never wanted to go to class because he seemed to talk about the same topic every time. His lectures were just unorganized.
Keep an open mind.Despite what others might say on here, Mr Wu is a pretty easy teacher. I didnt read the book, just studied slides he provides online. At first he is hard to understand, but you get use to it.Be ready to sometimes fade in and out-he lectures. But keep an open mind, soem of the material is really interesting and can benefit you.
Professor Wu may be hard for some to understand, but I think he speaks very good English for coming from Taiwan just over 20 years ago. It is obvious that he love what he does. Sometimes his lectures seem a little repetitive, but one-on-one, he is very insightful. So I suggest getting a 5 hour energy before attending his class, lol.
This is a really enjoyable class. Not only will this broaden your horizons but maybe if you aren't close minded will expand your knowledge of yourself. You will learn to repect others religions.
Ill set this in stone. Wu knows what hes talking about but doesnt know how to explain what hes talking about. It makes the class difficult... He is a very one edged teaching style and if you cant follow it, you wont do good. Logic is hard with him Don't take it on a hard semester. He is a great guy though and has amazing viewpoints
Had him for Eastern Religions. Amazing teacher and will make you think critically about life. Doesn't focus so much on grades (class is an easy A if you participate and do all the assignments) more so the learning part of the class. One catch...thick accent. Straight out of Taiwan. But he is worth it. Changed my life.
ONE OF THE WORST CLASSES I'VE EVER HAD! this class is necessary to transfer to CSU, and I would have never taken it otherwise. Logic is something one should have, you cant teach it. Most of the students were lost during his meandering lectures about proofs. I will never use any of the information used in this class.
Professor Wu is a great teacher. He knows what he is teaching but sometimes it may be hard to understand what the topics is.Very forgiving if you miss a class, or maybe an assignment that does not have an exact deadline.You will learn a lot in his Eastern Religion class. Has an accent but not too bad. I would definitely recommend this professor.
He tries really hard to get his information across, but his strong accent makes him hard to understand. He also wrote his own book, which is only online and he doesnt let you use laptops in class. Dont take this class if you like student teacher interaction, you wont find it here.
Dr. Wu is a very nice, thoughtful guy. I took his eastern religions class and really got alot out of it. His thick chinese accent is a bit of a communication barrier at times, but pay attention and you will find that he has alot of really profound things to say. Awesome teacher, good guy, but not recommended for people who are not good listeners.
Lecture is not relevant to what is on the quizzes and tests. Class attendance is necessary for class participation, but useless for learning.
Absolutely HORRIBLE. Do not take this professor. Strong accent. Close minded. I've learned absolutely nothing so far. Sets you up for a C grade. I want to just walk out of his class every day, but I need this class for sustainability cert. I look around and half the class is asleep every day. Oh, and they book is the worst I've had at B.C. so far.
the WORST teacher ever in the world!!!
Don't take this class if you actually plan on understanding Eastern Religions. Most of the lecture material had heavy reference to Christianity. He even would go as far as to say that people need to think a certain way. I was really interested in learning about the Eastern Religions, found myself, like the rest of my class, confused.
Wu is one of the best teachers I have ever had. His class changed my outlook on life. He does have a strong Chinese accent, but I understood him and usually I struggle with accents. Most of the bad ratings are probably from people with extremely conservative values who argued with him everyday because they were so sure of Christianity's supremacy.
Expect to be online in any class of his.Online discussions are heavy in his classes.All of his quizes are out of the book,rarely on the lecture.PHIL6- make sure you attend every class, lecture is necessary to understand the book/s. PHIL18-be prepared for the class to be divided. ALSO he doesn't understand most ppl take his class out of need not fun
Mr.Wu is an good teacher. He does have a thick accent and it takes awhile to get used to. All his quiz's and tests are taken directly from the board, so there's no paper test. Which is kind of overwhelming if you're a student who likes to skip around and come back to previous questions. He does seem very interested in the topics he teaches tho.
The information learned is very interesting but he doesn't ever engage the class which makes it boring and everyone just sits there and practically falls asleep. His accent is thick and he constantly stumbles over what it is he's trying to say. I really think he needs to reevaluate his teaching style and this class wouldn't suck so much.
I really like Wei-Ming as a human being. He makes the class challenging, but is fair in his grading and extra credit. It is up to you to work hard to EARN your grade! You should feel privileged to have an instructor that doesn't baby you. Grades are equally distributed-- quizzes, discussions, essay q's, and LOTS of ExCr points!!
Mr. Wu means well, and is anything but closed minded as others have said. As a person, I like him - but this class was just not my cup of tea. While the information is worth while, the way it is presented (no class engagement) makes it incredibly, painfully boring. I found my attendance was suffering because the lectures were totally unrelated.
Took Logic with Woo. Disliked the man because he disliked everything I stood for, and because I couldn't understand him. Incomprehensible logic lectures, then goes and rants about democracy, capitalism, and Christians.. But, I do believe he's probably brilliant and actually cares about his students. He just has a few cultural issues.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!! I can never understand what he is saying. His Chinese accent is so strong it's so hard trying to understand what he is lecturing about. I wish i could go over the 350 character limit to explain to you why to NOT take his class. He is no help i regret ever taking his class.
He has a strong accent, this makes learning an already complicated topic, near impossible,and he goes off on rants often. He uses blackboard for everything, the discussions are ridiculous, and he makes it impossible to get full credit on them. You can tell he is interested in what he's talking about, and he is nice, but he is very confusing.
hes cool guy, class easy. just show up do the work
Mr. Wu is a great teacher, but expects you to be an adult and keep up with your work. The class is difficult, and his tests are also hard (even though we get to use our notes). The class is a lot of work, but it can be truly eye-opening. He is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met, and you get used to his accent within the first week.
Amazing teacher. Brilliant man, and very interested in the subject, regardless of thick accent. I took his environmental ethics class and got an A. It was a profound experience that changed my way of thinking completely. Don't rely completely on his lectures, as you shouldn't do for any class. Great experience, and well worth the time.
Wu was very knowlegable, but there was a cultural and language challenge. The assignments and lectures were limited by instructors views on Westerners and his students were too nieve to get the course. The lectures were mostly pointless, and tests questions were not definitive. The text and lectures were not comparable in perspectives and content.
Wu should just be an online instructor. His lectures don't achieve anything and they won't help unless you want an earful of his opinions on western vs eastern traditions. Plus, you can hardly understand him. His tests mainly line up with his powerpoint slides, which are on the internet. I would suggest, take this online if you can.
AMAZING teacher, Wu is brilliant, Mr. Wu wrote his own text book which makes the class so much easier. He is easily understandable if you have an open mind and the mental capacity to except new ideas. Great Teacher!
Like the other comments say, this teacher should be online only. He's very difficult to understand and goes on a lot of tangents. He is very strict with his grading and makes it very difficult to get a decent score. His rubric for the discussion sets the whole class up to fail.
At times he's difficult to understand, but if you are actually paying attention then there is no problem. He is passionate in the material and the philosophy of the course. I enjoyed his passion and his take on world events and needs. Thought provoking, exactly what the course teaches us to be.
Class was completely confusing. The assignments that he had us do was graded ridiculously hard, even if you take your time and think you did it well. Never know what is suppose be studied for the test. Hard to understand.
Really enjoyed this class. Teacher cares about his students and will make every effort to help if requested.
Excellent professor. I learned a lot in his class about the subject, about life, and about myself. I enjoyed his class so much that I his other class the next semester.
Worst TEACHER AT BUTTE!!!!! Logic should probably make sense. You see that!!!
He cannot speak clear English, Goes off topic A LOT, Doesn't clearly explain things and when you ask questions he kind of laughs and doesn't get why you don't get it. I had to teach myself at home. Do NOT recommend!
I strongly disagree with Mr. Wu's ratings on here. He is a very passionate man trying to promote positivity and compassion to not only his students but everyone around him. I loved being able to hear what the man had to say about life, and the obstacles we must overcome to achieve equality and peace in a world where those two concepts seem so far
He's really nice and means well but the entire semester his lectures went off topic and his accent never got easier to understand.He grades really hard. He will give you only 250 words to make 5 different points in your paper but then say"you need to elaborate more".Honestly do not take this class unless you want a semester of complete frustration.
His lectures were very interesting even though he went off topic a lot of the time. My only issue was that his grading is ridiculous but as long as you do the work and turn it in on time you should pass. Not much in or out of class work. A couple blackboard discussions and few one page essays in class and the final. Good class but not an easy A.
I actually enjoyed this class. Dr. Wu can be confusing but he is genuinly interested in whether or not his students learn. He's always available for questions. I did have difficulty at first as he tends to go off topic alot, but if you study the text book and do the work at the end of the chapter you will do fine.
He is a brilliant professor. A hard grader who expects you to attend class and participate. Do the work and you will pass.
He is very difficult to understand but he is very nice. You can tell he has a dedication to the topic. He provides the textbook, since he believes education should be free. Which financially helped me. The downside it is a lot of self educating because his clarity is horrible. But a easy class
I enjoyed his class and learned so much!
I had Wei-Ming Wu for an Intro to Philosophy class back in 1993. I entirely enjoyed the subject of the class, as well as his presentation. Yes, his English pronunciation may not be the best, but it's great to be removed from your bubble and experience different people and grow a bit. "Now, if I was to tell you is pigskin fry.." Loved him!
He is passionate about the subject, but class was painfully boring sometimes even though the book fully had my attention. I am a straight A student and got C's on every test, but his extra credit makes up for it and it is still possible to get an A. There's a good amount of reading. Do all assignments ON TIME and SHOW UP (40 pts EC for attendance)
Accent takes awhile to get used to. Also he might harp about needing a tablet, but from what I saw it was unnecessary.
Mr. Wu was very passionate about the subjects he is teaching. One thing for sure is that he is tough. Full attention and engagement in every class period is required in order to pass. There were 3 test throughout the semester and were extremely difficult. Doesn't give study guides whatsoever.
He is super hard to understand and does not clear things up when you ask for his help. If you have never taken a logic class before i recommend a different teacher. It was pointless attending his class when everything he did was online already. on the other hand what he makes you do online is exactly how his test look like. Good luck!
Online assignments are horrible and do not work half the time. Definitely would not recommend this class. You will be confused all semester, with no clarity from him.
He is nearly impossible to understand. I got nothing from the lectures in his class and could learn just as well by going over the power points online at my house. Doesn't prepare you for assignments what so ever. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS FROM THIS PROFFESSER! Do EVERYTHING you can do get a different teacher if you want this class.
Had to take it as a GE class, however was forced to withdraw as there was a complete lack of learning on my part. Nearly impossible to understand, which is essential to being a teacher. His lecture are drawn out and unintelligible. He recommends study groups because that is the only way you can learn, because he cannot do his job. DO NOT TAKE.
Foreign teacher who has difficulty explaining things properly in english, if you get confused easily, do not take this course. You are expected to understand everything for the class from a website, that he made. If you cannot understand the website, he will direct you to the website. I got the best grade in the class. He tells you 75% will fail.
Really nice guy, really bad professor.
By far the worst instructor I have ever had. He would spend all of his lecture time pushing his own personal political ideologies, then tell everyone to go online and read material and do a written assignment on it. At no time would he ever cover what we would read online, or go over anything course related in class. Butte needs to get rid of him.
If aliens landed and I had to choose an ambassador empathy and objective thinking I would choose Mr. Wu. It really is a great class without too much difficulty. His phosophy is that we all work as one to create discussion in the class and we all learn from each other not just him which I very much appreciate.
Worst professor of my life. I don't understand why he is still at butte honestly with his terrible pass rate. I'm taking his logic course & let me tell you, don't take it. He provides no help, no positive feedback, & doesn't care if you fail. If you're an A student like me don't think you can breeze by this class, I am almost not passing.
May be difficult to understand due to strong Chinese accent. However, he is a brilliant teacher and I dare say his class is worth taking and may even change your perspective on life.
Lectures are really long and he doesn't post them online or will email them to you. Extremely heavy accent. Not very clear with what he wants. Way too much out of class reading. Very few homework assignments, the semester is almost over and we have only had two so far. But he offers extra credit sometimes. Seems like a nice guy.
Don't take this class
Terrible class
He doesn't care
Nothing is clear
Impossible, doesn't matter how hard you try
He is kind and smart. Read and show up to do well. I'd recommend him.
A really intelligent and thoughtful man if you listen you will learn a lot. He comes from another country so he has a unique perspective.
The instructor is knowledgeable and humble. I DID NOT TAKE THIS INSTRUCTOR FOR PHIL 05, I had this instructor for ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS.
class started full, only 6 of us who made it to the end. no A's he made it nearly impossible to do well . lectures entire class time/thinks you know NOTHING about Eastern religions which is a false presumption. tests don't match the study guides/ loves to hear himself speak, judgey and not helpful, absolutelyterrible. AVOID THIS TEACHER SO RUDE.
