Technology advances so quickly that it is difficult to keep students well-prepared to face the challenges of today's workforce. To address this, my overall teaching philosophy is to focus on general concepts that underly all networking and security systems and then draw upon a vast amount of examples in both research and industry that are instantiations of those concepts. I have applied this approach to all of the courses I have developed and continuously update them over time to ensure their relavence to students. I am also a proponent of utilizing methods at the bottom of the learning pyramid and have attempted to have students balance passive listening to lectures with hands on lab activities and project presentations. The results of this approach are reflected in the instructor effectiveness ratings across course offerings which are listed in the table below along with some comments from students in each.

Thanks for teaching this class. I learned so much and I'm really excited to learn more about the cloud. This class should be required for CS bachelors. I can't believe they required me to take Programming Langugages and not this class Wu-Chang is an exceptional instructor. He really has a talent for making subjects interesting and keeping students engaged during his lectures. This class requires a lot of time, but he is very clear with his expectations and satisfactorily generous with late work. I really enjoyed this class and felt that I learned a lot. Professor Wu did a fantastic job presenting a large amount of information and the labs, though quite the time consumption, were necessary for learning the subjects along the way! Appreciate the professors incorporation of emerging technologies, such as generative AI into the curriculum Wu-chang Feng is all ready my favorite instructor at PSU. He is smart, and very adept at parsing out questions from students who don't know the question they are asking! I will highly recommend him to other students and look forward to taking more of his classes. The material is pertinent and relatable The professor demonstrates both expertise and dedication in his teaching approach. He has structured the course into various modules and invests significant time in thoroughly explaining each topic. Additionally, he has meticulously crafted laboratory exercises and homework assignments that effectively facilitate practical learning in cloud project development. However, it is important to note that the labs and homework are quite intensive and require a considerable amount of time and effort to complete, akin to solving complex puzzles. This course was one of the best ones ive taken at PSU. All the lab assignments were very meaningful and were great resources for the homeworks and projects. The professor and TA we're very helpful during code parties, office hours, and in the Slack channel. I have zero complaints about the class or their commands on the material. I would recommend this course to any and all CS students. This is probably one of the best courses offered at PSU. Professor Feng does an incredible job teaching the material and providing real world examples. Additionally, the labs were well thought out and helped me solidify the lecture material. |

Excellent class, loved the in-person and practical homeworks and Labs were very practical and class material was advanced with the most recent technologies in CS. Overall coverage of the cloud concepts was really insightful. This class has been one of my favorite CS classes I have taken, and close to one of my favorite classes I have taken generally. The lecture style from Feng was very informative to me and helped further my understanding of the material and the field as a whole. Additionally, The lab/homework structure of the course has been my favorite. I felt like I learned a lot and only struggled enough to force myself to learn what I needed to. All in all I cannot say enough good things about this class. I LOVE the "evolving" homework paradigm where each assignment builds on previous incarnations. I don't feel like the jumps between each were too large; it was balanced really well. Kudos on that. Also the opportunity for extra credit on HW2 was nice because it let me explore on my own and expand on what I learned, so it was really encouraging when I got it to work. I would recommend offering something similar for all the homeworks (just a couple points). Overall a great instructor with tremendous command of the subject material. I don't think I saw him even hesitate a single time when asked a question. Thanks for a great term! I will be trying to save all the screencasts for future reference. This is hands down the most useful class at the university that I have taken so far. You cover a breadth of topics fairly deeply, and at the end you have a very solid understanding of how the web works. Professor Feng was excellent. He provided great feedback and knew the answer to almost all the questions that were ask, or else knew where to find the answer. You can tell that he both has a strong command of the subject and a passion for teaching. To be honest, this was the best class I took as a CS student at PSU. Very useful labs and instructions, and feel like you learn something that you are going to apply in real life. I think classes should be designed this way to literally learn not only study. Not only me saying that, but every student I met in the class as well. Overall, loved it. |

This class workload is really huge but also really useful. I want to say that it would be better with a little less work, but I don't want to reduce its
usefulness. Very cool professor, learned a lot and am glad I took the course! It's always difficult to provide recent knowledge on developments in technology nowadays, so learning all these things is great! This class was fantastic and I really enjoyed it :D Thank you for making this class so much fun and WAY easier to start learning these systems than jumping in on my own! This is the best CS class I have taken so far, the material was interesting and applicable to a software career, and the labs were a great way to become familiar with the many changing technologies and services offered in the cloud. I particularly liked the theoretical knowledge build up in the first few weeks, and that the instructor didn't take any of our subject knowledge for granted (teaching us the basics instead of assuming we knew). I wish PSU did semesters since there is so much to cover in this class! This is one of the best courses I've taken in the PSU CS department, and is very applicable for working in this field. I also really appreciate Wu- chang's teaching style. He's very engaging and demonstrates a passion for the topic. The course structure is very well organized, comprising of a variety of different, latest and useful topics. Hands-on tasks involved in the course are quite useful as well. Instructor has a very good command on the subject matter and lecture deliveries are really good. I totally respect how much work has gone in to designing this class. I just feel very fortunate to have this kind of class offered to us. It's unique. In talking to other peers in other programs and other peers who have graduated, this is not a common subject to be exposed to. This class was amazing! I was currently looking into learning this material for my job on my own, but found this class and it is a required course for me. I feel WAY more comfortable talking to the developers at my work about cloud deployments, security involved, resources that should be used, and how we can minimize docker images to save space and reduce the threats and attack vectors. |

(9 months after course) I'm a Computer Science graduate from Portland State University currently working at Intel as a Cloud Software Development Engineer. I completed CS 530 and I just want to thank you. The topics taught were exactly what they expected from me in the Intel interview and these are the technologies used right now in industry. I was confident in my interview and now in my job because of the CS 530 labs and homework. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to take this amazing class under your assistance. Thank you! |

The course covered such a huge range of
material that I found myself pretty lost sometimes. That said, I can at least look at Cloud computing with less of a "deer-in-the-headlights" look moving forward, which is probably the ultimate goal (no one's going to be made an expert on cloud computing in 10 weeks). |

"Absolutely love Wuchang's classes. His command over the subject is amazing. In 10 weeks I am not a pro but he has made me feel comfortable about
the cloud as a novice it didn't feel like I was dwelling into something unknown. He starts with some basics knowledge and builds over that.Yes the
things that are taught in 10weeks is a lot to take in actually, but with Wuchang it doesn't feel like a burden and lost.I wish he taught more classes mainly
Fullstack and any web development or anything related to web classes." |

(4 years later) During my time at PSU, I had the privilege of taking two of your courses, Malware and Cloud Computing. Your classes had a profound impact on me, especially Cloud Computing, which is closely related to my current job. I really enjoyed your classes, and your teaching style not only helped me learn but also deepened my interest in the subject. "I found this class exemplary in all respects. I have found that CS classes are normally very hit-or-miss, and this class was a definite hit. The material felt both approachable and extremely relevant to current industry practices, neither of which I can say about most CS classes. Labwork and Homework were both excellent in striking the balance between "easy enough to accomplish, given time" and "useful in teaching and conveying the material." I would take this class again in a heartbeat. I wish I had taken this class before my Capstone. I have recommended to all of my peers to take this class if it comes up again. I love this class." |

Professor Feng is awesome. This has been, by far, my favorite class yet in the CS program. I loved the hands-on labwork, and really appreciated the professor's swift responses to questions over Slack. Prof. Feng is an outstanding instructor. My only negative remark is the workload in his class is far above average compared to other courses. Instead of expecting to spend 4-8 hours a week on homework. Students should expect to spend 8-12 hrs per week. That being said the assignments are extremely valuable and are the closest thing to real world examples in a classroom setting that I have experienced so far at PSU. I think others might be harsh due to some assignments not working as intended but in a big picture view. The assignments that broke are out of his control due to updates. He provides basically all the commands and code needed. We just need to read and understand why the commands and code does what is needed for a task. The end of the labs we typically perform a given task alone with a description of a end goal. This allows us to practice what we learned and attempt the challenges on our own through trial and error. I absolutely loved this class. Lab assignments and HW were hard at times but helped me get a better grasp at what we are learning. Loved this class! It is a ton of work but I feel like it's worth it! There are some labs that get really repetitive especially early in the class but it also helps drilling in the material. It was really nice having youtube video walkthroughs to go over the labs but I do wish they were more obviously advertised because it took me about half the term to realize they were a thing and could have saved me a lot of time. I do really like Feng's willingness to edit his labs and always accepted our feedback. I love taking his classes. |

(6 months after class) Thank you for being such a great mentor to me during my university time, Wu-chang. Without your guidance, I do not think I would have gotten to where I am starting my first software job. Your cloud and web security classes have been invaluable. Thank you again. Wu-Chang is super friendly and personable in his lectures, and he breaks subjects down and teaches them well. He has the type of positive attitude that makes a morning class bearable! I enjoyed that he gave us many real-world examples of what he was teaching us, and the variety of what we learned. This is the class that has given me the most experience with the material in the CS department, because he introduced us to so many different websites, commands, resources, programs, etc. Wus classes are actually some of THE BEST classes i have taken here at Portland State. His teaching is done in a class that makes it easy for everyone to learn and his homework load and layout is so much better in terms of organization and length than all the other CS classes. I hope Wu sticks around for a while and that he could be an example for the rest if the CS department. Professor Feng was one of the best instructors I've ever had. He has boundless energy and is passionate about the subect matter. In all, the best possible way to blend a long career in Infosec with a return to academia (for me). I give this class A+/10*s!! Another great class. I've enjoyed all of Professor Feng's classes and this was no exception. Dr. Feng's courses are always practical, informative, relevant and interesting. I have never had so much fun completing labs and homework in over two years in the CS department. At the same time, I have never been so frustrated at certain stumbling blocks while making efforts to finish tutorial-like assignments. Luckily, Dr. Feng, his TA Wen, as well as a fair amount of classmates make this learning process much more accessible and bearable. The fact that Dr. Feng is constantly and quickly responding to the class slack channel every day is just one way in which he goes above and beyond. Each lecture references recent breaches in web security, and always relates to the topics learned previously. The sheer amount of set-up and preparation for any of his courses, especially Web Security, is yet another demonstration of how committed Dr. Feng is to the process of learning. Every lab is experiential education - the main reason why the rare moments of exasperation are far outweighed by the joy of discovery and accomplishment. It was a pleasure to take another course by Wu-chang Feng! His cloud computing course was the best course I had ever taken at PSU, and this Web Security course is even better than that one. Whether you intend to go into web development or not this content should be seriously considered for introduction into the required courses. It's things that every computer science student should be cognizant of. I would also like to specially thank the professor for the tremendous amount of work it must take to produce the labs which make up the lions share of this course. They must require constant updating to keep up with ever-changing cloud services. I will definitely put my knowledge gained through the class to good use! |

I appreciate this class. No other class has made me cringe harder at some of the earlier web apps I wrote. They definitely could have been exploited in several different ways. Thank you again for this class. It was really useful knowledge. I really appreciate all of the stuff I have learned. Dr Feng was amazing. The course content is very relevant and bleeding edge for what we will experience in industry. His lecturing style is great. Sometimes it would be beneficial if the pace of the lecture slowed a bit to let everyone catch up. TA was great this class too. I liked the method of learning that avoided textbooks and exams but instead focused on hands on labs and coding assignments. It was a lot of work but a much better way to cement the concepts. Great job and I hope to work with Dr Feng again in the future! There was a lot of great content in this class, but I felt like I was missing a lot of it due to the short term length. I felt like I couldn't really sit with the material and internalize it. None of this is the fault of the professor. Ten weeks is just not enough time to learn so much complex material. This was one of my favorite courses at PSU. I liked all the self paced labs, and they seemed to have more direction than the Intro to Security course binary CTFs. The recorded lecture format made it easy to balance my full time work with class learning, and made it simple to follow example walkthroughs. Tying the well known hacks to actual vulnerabilities discussed in the course was interesting and relevant. This class was a ton of work. It was not easy keeping up with all of the lab assignments, but I feel like that is balanced with the time we are given. The labs are very useful hands-on experience. The only critique I can offer is that I found the homeworks far more insightful than the labs--especially the last half of the labs. Maybe a homework covering those labs would be a good add? I really enjoyed this class. The workload at times felt like a lot of work, but I think this was because the nature of these homeworks came with a lot of troubleshooting (thinking of the cloud assignments specifically). Great class, great professor. Wu-chang is a great professor and really understands how to teach and help students properly. Professor Feng was absolutely amazing!! I wish I could have taken this class in person, I think I would have had so much more fun, but the fact that he was able to make it fun remotely is a godsend. He did absolutely amazing in teaching us the things we need to know and the grading was fair. I think this class is a high contender for my favorite class I've ever taken at PSU. Thank you for an amazing term!! |

One of the best formatted classes I have taken in the CS department. Each assignment has a logical reason to be done, and has actual useful ties to the real world. You can visibly see the work that is done in class in real life examples, and that is a really powerful way to show that this is still being done to this day and how important this topic is. Thank you for teaching us so well. Wu-Chang has an incredible amount of knowledge in the realm of cyber security. He is truly a tremendous asset in the Computer Science department's faculty at Portland State. I signed up for this course with a mild interest and a vague understanding of the subject, and I got to experience a knowledge accelerating crash course that has changed my life. I not only understand significantly more about security, I understand more about how to learn well generally. I'm a bit more paranoid about using computer systems now. Maybe for the better... Professor Feng is one of the most organized, knowledgeable teachers I have ever had. He clearly spends time preparing for every lecture and updates the course material daily as needed/requested by students. He is very active on the course Slack channel (which REALLY NEEDS to be paid for/upgraded by the university so we dont lose conversations after 10,000 messages - extremely detrimental to constructive learning) on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis. He continues to modify the curriculum to be current with modern topics and news. He also promotes awareness of the industry (jobs available) and understanding of multiple topics/disciplines. His course outline is phenomenal and should become the basis for most CS classes - labs with clear walkthroughs, CTF style homeworks and lectures that are valuable, informative and recorded for continued learning when outside of class or absent from a lecture. This course is fantastic and essential for keeping your online accounts safe from hackers. I would recommend it to anyone because Professor Feng knows the material like the back of his hand and makes difficult topics easy to understand. Wu-chang is a great lecturer, communicator and is extremely knowledgeable about Web Security. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and would recommend it to others as well other classes by him. One of the best teachers in the CS department! Very enthusiastic about what he teaches, communicates topics and course material very well, and responds very quickly and consistently via email and slack. The class was one of the most difficult CS classes I've taken in terms of the amount of work assigned and the complexity of the topics. It typically took me 4 or 5 times as long to finish every lab and assignment than indicated by the instructor. It's a personal preference, but I prefer to go into depth on less topics than to scratch the surface on so many like this class did. Amazing professor all around! I'd take him again and recommend him to anyone who is willing to put the work/hours in. The workload is kind of a lot, but overall very interesting subject matter. I am now paranoid of most services The instructor is really good and knows his subject really well. He is hardworking. As there is a lot of material and lab work in the course, I felt I did not get very deep knowledge of the material. It was kind of an overview of everything. There seemed to be a lot of work for this class. It was a bit surprising. Wu-chang Feng provides an excellent course with very enjoyable content. It was a lot of work, however the information provided was incredibly useful and applicable to both real world scenarios and exercises on the historical problems. The materials provided were incredibly useful, and his availability via Slack, Office Hours, and after class made it very easy to get help if needed. Overall one of the best courses offered in the Computer Science curriculum, highly recommend. Cloud and Web Security by Wu-Chang Feng has been the most insightful and interesting course I have taken at PSU. The exercises were challenging and interesting, and the lectures were well prepared and educational. This class has a fairly heavy workload so if students are wanting to take a relatively lightweight upper division CS elective, they may want to look elsewhere. The lecture itself, while good, felt kind of purposeless sometimes. I believe this was because I learned more from the hands-on nature of the labs and homework than the lectures themselves. During lecture, the instructor seemed enthusiastic about answering questions and discussing different topics. However, after lecture, it felt much more difficult to get a quality answer from the instructor. Overall, an okay course for satisfying an upper division CS elective. For students who have a deeper interest in cybersecurity, this class might fit the bill. His class is great I'd have loved to delve deep rather than this broad. Labs/HW were really satisfactory and knowledge enhancing. But they were too hectic, I found it difficult to read through books for other subjects. I'd love to have you take an in depth course from any of the topics covered in class. Thank you professor. |

is Prof. Feng's passion for the subject. Often at PSU, professors
assume that you should care about the subject and that because the
subject is important to them, it will be to you as well. In the
past I've found it very frustrating that professors read their
slides and fail to connect the students with the subject. This
wasn't an issue in this class. Prof. Feng often talked about the
importance of security in the real world and in building future

Great professor. The content of the course is great, and the CTF levels are a little challenge, but doable. Great class. Outlining the goals of the lab notebooks in better detail would have been helpful since there wasn't much guide of what to place in them. Wu-chang is always on the bleeding edge and that is a great benefit for the department. Very enjoyable and excellent course. Dr. Wu-chang Feng's had an excellent grasp of the subject and provided a lot of material both in class and outside of class. Many resources and a lot of help available if needed. I look forward to taking more of the instructor's classes in the future. This class was focuses (sp) a lot more on smart contracts than I expected which is fine. I really appreciate the exposure to google cloud console for the project hosting. I think symbolic execution is a deep important subject that I would really like to know more about but we barely covered it. The subject seems like it almost deserves its own class. I might give it less time in this course to focus more on the core elements of the class, or give it more time. |

For such shakey source material, Wu managed to make an interesting and informative class. I definitely understand the basics of blockchain now and would be able to convey my knowledge in a constructive manner. That being said, I don't know what manner that would be appropriate... (to anyone reading this that isn't familiar with this material, that was a Blockchain joke) This was the best class besides malware. Wu-chang is rad. One of the few profs who knows how to make education fun and interesting. Seriously, the man has a rare talent for teaching. This class was a lot of fun. Despite the subject matter changing frequently in the real world, Wuchang did a great job rolling with the changes and differences since the last time he taught the course. Great professor. Well organized, interesting topics and discussions. Plenty of reference material and additional readings for supplemental knowledge and understanding. The course material was a little scattered as the topic is new and changing constantly. Good job for the first time is course has been taught. Overall the professor was very knowledgable, accessible and reasonable with his expectations for the course. Lots of material was covered. I really enjoyed the content of the course, I wish we would have more time to spend investigating more complex vulnerabilities attacks and also how to automatically detect them. It would be a very difficult feat indeed to find something negative to say about this professor. The professor knows the material, communicates it well, and checks for understanding - rewording or summarizing difficult concepts. Out of all the professors I've had at PSU this one seems to have a true grasp of how to teach and clearly has a passion and talent for the profession. In addition, I feel that the course material is relevant to my work outside of school - not always something emphasized in school. I highly recommend this professor to anyone who asks about him and in turn recommend the courses he teaches. |

"Probably one of my favorite
computer science classes, even though this was only a
cluster/elective. Professor Feng got the students involved by
having us doing 2 presentations, becoming an expert on the topic
and teaching the class about the subject instead of him talking to
us for an hour and 50 minutes." |

"Computer Science, especially
technical information about the internet, is a hard concept to
grasp if you are not too well engrained in computer science.
This class helps clear the air on many internet issues at hand.
Thanks to instructor for being so enthusiastic as well!" |
