15. Comments
A fantastic TA! When a complicated question comes up in office hours, he always sends out very detailed explanations, and is INCREDIBLY helpful in the office hours themselves. He knows the material very well and explains things clearly. Very approachable, makes sure students understand, puts a lot of effort into the class. Wonderful!
I have a schedule conflict with Wu's office hours, but the few I've been to have been excellent.
Will was an awesome TA!

Wu is probably the best (and coolest) TA I've ever had. The handout for the midterm review session was amazing.
-
great TA! very helpful, and answers email questions with a full explanation in pdf format. Amazing TA.
Great job. Definitely among the better TAs in the EE department.
This is my 7th course as an SCPD student at Stanford. William Wu is the best TA I have ever had spanning my under-grad at IIT Madras, my Grad at USC and my courses at Stanford. He is highly enthusiastic, available , responsive to student concerns and motivated. Paul Cuff is also good.

One of the best TA's I have had at Stanford.
You were a great TA, I really appreciate all the time you put into the handouts, and the midterm review was very thorough and helpful.
Great job! Thanks!

William is great.

I wish there were more office hours available, other than that great job!
He was superb. The numbers don't capture it. Completely approachable, completely responsive, would answer any question in whatever depth seemed necessary without being pushed. And a truly commanding grasp of the material. I say this after having spent a considerable amount of time at his office hours, both asking trivial (but still enthusiastically answered) questions of my own, and watching other people ask clearly enormously complex ones. If he couldn't answer them on the spot, (which was rare, and conceded only after extensive thought and clarification of the asker's thinking) I would get an email (as someone who had been at office hours when the question was asked) with a full explanation, within a day. I recommend him unreservedly.
most amazing TA ever, extremely dedicated!

more office hours please but otherwise you're an amazing TA! the review notes and your attention to our questions after office hours are the best ever.
