Quality: 2Difficulty: 5MATH 1520

Very unclear, he's too smart to be teaching Calc 2. Tried going to lectures but I was even more confused afterwards, so I ended up learning everything online. Work very hard studying for tests! Do the recommended practice problems! Webwork and past tests don't always align as well since chapters are switched around

I'm going to cut the guy some slack because it was his first year teaching Cal II but I didn't learn anything in his class. I couldn't understand the way he taught most days and math has been my strong-suit for as long as I can remember. Hopefully they put another professor in to teach such a large and important class.

Wushi isn't the best lecturer but it's definitely worth it to go to his office hours. He is very helpful 1 on 1 and he becomes so much clearer. He is open to making himself available to students and generally willing to stay past his office hours if people have more questions. Pro tip: he expects his students to have read the textbook before class.

Absolute worst professor I've ever had. Enjoy not understanding anything all semester and learning it on your own. Has colorful shirts.

Given that it's Professor Goldring's first year at WashU, he deserves credit for trying to trying to adjust to his classes' methods of learning. Though not the clearest, he genuinely cares about his students and his lectures are usually pretty easy to follow. Self-study is definitely a must, though.

I know he has just started his first year at WashU and it takes a little time for him to adjust to the environment. BUT, he is so good at making simple stuffs way more complicated than they're supposed to be, and in an one-hour-long lecture he could spend twenty minutes on one single problem. Self-study is needed if this course is mandatory.
