If you want an easy class with a chill professor take this class with Wu. The info isn't exciting, but Wu teaches in a clear way and cares that his students are learning. He also wants students to succeed, so he ended up dropping multiple quizzes, homeworks, etc. The TA walks you through all the labs and gives you answers to all the homework per Wu's instructions. Take this class and if you put in just a bit of effort, you will get an A.

I took AP stats in high school, so I already knew the material, so the class was really easy. I only attended lectures because of the poll questions, which gave you 2% extra credit at the end of the class. The midterm was incredibly easy, but the final was hard. However, due to the protests and blm, he made the final optional and changed the weight of the tests. The homework was easy, especially since the TAs basically did the work for us. The weekly quizzes were also easy, and he gave us ample time to do them. The only part I hated about the class was the labs, I still don't understand why they are necessary to the class, but at least the TAs walk you through them step by step.

Professor Wu is a really good professor, if you keep up/go to lectures regularly (I took this in Spring so due to COVID he would just upload the lectures so the class could be asynchronous) you will be fine. He tries to help students and the final was made optional for the class as he didn't want to provide additional stress during the protests. He really cares about his students and I think his lectures are quite clear. I didn't buy the textbook so I wouldn't say it is essential as the TA's usually went over the problems in class. Labs were also explained step by step during discussion so discussions are definitely useful. Overall, this class is very manageable and Professor Wu tries to make it as engaging as possible. He also offered clicker points for lecture participation as extra credit so he tried to really help. During the midterm you are allowed one double-sided cheat sheet so its manageable to do well on the exams as well. I would really only say that the quizzes were sometimes very ambiguous and could potentially be difficult but you get to drop your lowest quiz and homework anyway. I would definitely recommend taking it with Professor Wu if you can!

Stats 10 is generally an easy class and Wu is a pretty good prof to take it with. His lectures aren't the most engaging because his voice is monotonous, but he really paid attention to the chat and always answered our questions. His lectures are on slides, which he posts on CCLE. He does clicker/poll questions during lectures for participation EC (up to 2%). Quizzes, the midterm, and the final were all multiple choice. Before both exams, he posted a study guide and gave us a practice test. During discussions, TAs basically do the lab with you and they go over homework questions. For this quarter, Wu made the final optional, dropped our lowest 2 grades from homework and quizzes, and cancelled our last lab, so he's really accommodating and willing to empathize with students.

Wu was nice, but not a very good professor. His lectures were often not very clear or easy to follow and I ended up having to learn most of the material from the textbook. That being said, the class itself isn't very difficult, and an A is definitely possible if you do the work.

Professor Wu was one of the sweetest professors I've had here. The exams and material aren't necessarily challenging, but there are quizzes, labs, and homework to stay on top of. Overall, if you manage your time well, this class ends up pretty easy and most people are successful in it. Would recommend taking this class with him.

Wu is a nice professor who replies to your email even late at night and during holidays, which is amazing. He tries to be funny in the class and jokes at times, but sometimes the class is a little bit boring because of his monotonous voice. Workload is acceptable. The lab is quite easy since TA guides you through. Final is harder than the midterm.

The class material itself is not difficult, but it is also not very interesting. Wu isn't a bad lecturer but he also isn't reinventing the wheel when it comes to it either. TA's walked through every single lab and homework. Tests are not difficult. If you stay on top of it, an A is definitely possible
