I never leave reviews for professors because I rarely feel a strong connection with them, but Professor Wu was different. I struggled with attending class regularly, but never his, even though it was at 9:30 AM. His lectures are incredibly engaging, and our class felt comfortable asking questions out loud while he taught. He never made anyone feel stupid, no matter the question. On top of that, he’s a generous grader and curves fairly.
I took the stats 102a during winter 2021, and currently taking 102b. Tbh, just take other prof if you can. Wu won't reply to emails, and discussion board. Also, for the first two weeks, we are just literally learning math 115a stuff whereas in his lec, he only talks about math concept rather than actual R coding.
The curve on this class was absolutely crazy so there's that. Midterm and final class averages were extremely low but the curve, homework assignments and chapter quizzes help. Guani is a sweet guy and ok lecturer - he deviates from his slide deck in the second half of the class but you can still use it to study. TAs were super helpful with the homework.
