This class was very easy. The slides and book have almost all of the homework topics covered. If you need this class definitely take it with Prof. Wu, don't sacrifice your GPA with another prof
This class was a super easy A. The homework questions were almost (if not totally) identical to problems done in class, and the midterm/final were also barely different from the homework. Also, the midterm and final were take-home (with a ~3 day timeframe to complete) for my quarter, making it ridiculously easy.
I also learned almost nothing from the class though, so if you need relevant knowledge for future classes, you might have to push yourself harder than is required to get an A.
As a math student, this has to be the easiest upper-div I've taken at UCLA. Although he can be a bit unclear at times, Wu is a nice guy and he works very hard to support his students. His lectures focus on giving lots of examples to get the intuition behind the main concepts. That said, he doesn't really challenge you at all; the homework and exam problems are typically identical copies of examples from lecture. If you're looking for an easy A, take this class. If you want to be challenged and learn probability a bit more rigorously, I'd recommend another professor.
TAKE!!! He gives clear and funny lectures and he is really really passionate about teaching. The homeworks are closely related with his lectures, and the midterms and finals are really similar to the homework. His exams are easy and doable. He does not curve down but will curve up if necessary. And because it is really easy to get your total points above 93, it is an easy A. More importantly, I really learned a lot in his class. I believe he even make some graduate materials into this class. He gives Latex notes and white board notes, which is basically all you need for exams.
Professor Wu makes this class pretty straightforward: he plans his lectures and assigns his homework in a way that makes it easy for you to get an A as long as you take notes in every lecture. He also responds to emails really quickly. Though he's not the clearest lecturer (he explains his examples in a sort of hand-wavy way), he posts notes on CCLE, which pretty much remedies that issue. The homework is pretty light (and worth 50% of the overall grade), and the exams are similar to the homeworks and lecture examples. Since the course is not very rigorous, I would only recommend it to those who'd like a gentler class. Wu is a really kind guy, and I did appreciate him.
