you should take his class

I took Calculus from Mr. Lam last semester. He is the best math professor I ever seen. He made difficult concepts easy to understand. He was very fair in the tests as well as assigning grades. Great Professor!

very easy.. take his class. easy to get A.... mid-team and Final just took from the leature problem

i took him the winter and i couldn't stand it HE IS SO EASY!!! i would always leave 1 1/2 before class started...and i passed with a b you dont turn in hw and the test are multiple choice if you dont like math take him you will learn tust me

I took cal I in his class in the spring, and i barely got a b to pass it. because of the final, it brings up my grade from D to B cause i got an A in the final and i fail two test, and 2 test got a B and one test got a C. he doesnt collect hw which is i dun like it, and he doesnt give extra credit that much, but u can cancel one test grade. and m

Mr. Lam is an excellent math teacher; he takes time before class to ask if anyone has any questions regarding the homework (optional). His lectures are informative and clear, with many walked-through examples. He's also very easy-going on attendance. Anyone who's struggled with him will probably continue struggling throughout their college career.

nice guy, good teacher. you do not have to turn in homework, but should do it if you dont understand the subject. really nice guy.

He writes a lot of examples on the board. ALways do the examples b/c it will help u when u take his tests. I think his test r easy b/c it's from the book. After he passes back the test, he photo copies the answer key for you. His personaily sucks b/c he's quiet and he looks mad lol if u ask him a question he gets p.o n will shout at u for notknowin

He is the best math professor I ever have. He explained and taught in a well organised way that you would never get lost. If you come to the class and do the homework on time, it is very difficult to fail his tests.

I like the way he helps you understand how to solve a problem.

He is great. Do the assignment honestly and make sure you understand it after you get help. Study the review problems and the examples he gives, you will pass the class.

He is cool. You will understand him. He explains math in a clear and logical way. Do the homework and follow the instruction he gives, you will get a good grade.

Best Math Prof. at ELAC!!!!

in all honestly, math was never my best subject and i deperately struggled through this class. i did the homework and studied and still ended up doing poorly on all the tests. but instructor lam, as a person, is one of the best professors i have ever had. he truly cares for each student's success and i really am grateful to have taken his class.

i found him very easy to understand depite his heavy accent. it's hard for me to find teachers who teach the way i need in order to learn.

Mr. Lam is one of the best math professor at elac, gives reasonable amount of HW and really easy exams. I never being good in math but i got an A in his math125. If jou know your sh*%# from math 112 & 115, there is no reason for you to not to pass.

this is the easy class, you only needs to do all your home work(it's not that much) easy get an A.

Very good professor. If you have your basic algebra down you'll defenitely pass his class. He gives a reasonable amount of homework. He really helps when you have questions regarding the homework.

Very Good teacher explains everything very well. However, if you dont have your algebra down you might consider reviewing before taking him. Took him during winter and homework was not alot compared to other teachers.

Very good teacher. I failed the first test but made two A's and a B on the next three and got a high score on the final and was able to pass with an A. Highly Recommended.

He's ok, not too hard, just do your hw and do your best on the test. he don't mind if you late. To all the sucker who talks sh*t about him, go to hell, you don't like this professor becuase you didn't get a good grade in his class, and its not his fault, its because you stupid.

Lam was awesome! I took him for the Winter Session and he was very helpful and clear during his lecture. He did give a bountiful serving of homework but it all paid off come the tests! This is not a lazy persons class but you don't have to be a math genius to get an A!

good!

Took him during spring 08. Allows students to choose their review and test dates. Very approachable! If you don't understand something during class he's available after class for any questions. He may come off as mean but you just have to understand his sense of humor and don't take it personally. Highly recommended.

You must show up to his class if you want to learn.Lots of homework but it prepares you for tests and the final which are all very easy.Is approachable if you need help or have questions.A little hard to understand and sometimes does expect you to know what he is talking about but does all he can to help you pass the class.Class is not for slackers

Lam is a good professor.He is patient and looks like he cares about his students.Compared to most professors he is pretty easy.

he is a good teacher if you are not math major. because he is easy, just do hw, you will have a good grade. he rarely use textbook, and his hw is very very few. just less than 100 questions in the whole semester. but you can't get enough knowledges i think. wo if your major is math, not recommend! if not, extremely recommend!!!

He is a good teacher. He always gives a good method to solve a problem. He is very patient and he won't assign something that he doesn't know how to do it. He is very responsible, he is very organized. When he teaches, he always go step by step. Highly recommended!

Great teacher, makes sure yo understand the material before moving on. Provides many examples. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

mr. lam is a very good teacher! he gives you notes for every chapter he covers and lots of examples. he spends at least 2 to 3 days reviewing for the test. everything on his test is something that he covers in class. taking notes will be very helpful.

IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THE RIGHT WAY, TAKE HIM.

it's easy to understand his class!If you work hard in the class!he will give the in class question which is from textbook.following the questions you will know how to do the homework!

Prof. Lam is crystal clear in what he's covering. Gives many examples to the point where it gets boring. He does expect you to know everything prior to his class. He also blames a lot on highschool, which i found was pretty funny. Overall, a great teacher IF YOU ARE WILLING TO STUDY and DO THE HOMEWORK to prepare you for the test. They are the same

Prof. Lam is a great teacher. Besides him giving LOTS of examples, he teaches you the right way and is very helpful. His grading scale is also a plus, you have to miss LOTS of questions on test if you're going to get a B/C

Overall, Lams teaching style is fairly comprehendible. Expects students to know basic arithmetic math. He also provides help to whomever needs it.

Great professor, really helpful, i got a B but i didn't really studied, overall great class

He is good teacher,if you study hard, you will got A (ps: test is not hard )

His tests were supper hard at first. He's very nice and willing to help. I got an A in the class but I had to work my butt of for it but its doable just study hard

I got an 'A'! but I never missd a lecture, I did my 4 sets of homework(twice each)and I studied an average of 2 hrs a day for his class. The tests are 10-15 questions that are worth a lot of points, but he gives partial credit, which I appreciate. I will take him in Spring 2013. If you do...be serious from the start and you'll do fine. LM

Did it online. Most of the class dropped out by the end. So make sure you are committed! do the sample test. do your homework! do the online test (you get 3 chances) was nice to us for our final and gave us a multiple choice test! approachable and pleasant :) nice guy

I took this class for winter. He giva us 4 sets of HW u need to do it it was worth 20% of teh grade it will help u at the end. He is a easy person and he is very helpful. I enjoyed this class and i am not a math person!

con: makes careless mistakes because he does all the algebra work in his head, doing homework doesnt really help just do it for the points pro: all final exam questions are in your notes and previous tests final will probably help boost everyones grade having perfect attendance will definitely help you a lot in this class

Professor Lam is a pretty easy teacher. As long as you go to class everyday, and do all your homework. I don't have any complaints.

I took him for pre-calc this spring, and his teachings was really good. He did 3 exams (2 chapters each) this semester. I did bad on those exams due to a lot of memorization, but honestly it paid off in the end during the final, and passed with a B. I took his class before, and I recommend to take him if you want to understand math.

Best Math teacher at ELAC. Grade consists of 3 sets of HW. Each set is turned in on the day of the test. Very helpful and explains everything and answers every question. I also took him for Math 260 and the grading is the same. I recommend him!

easy teacher because his tests will include all the stuffs that he taught before. Take his class and it is helpful.

Professor Lam explained the materials step by step and crystal clear. I had no problem with his accent and understood all he said. This is the third math class I take from him. I am getting an A in this class and I am not Asian.

Honestly i think professor lam is 1 of the best instructors for calculus 1 at elac. The homework isn't mandatory but if you do it you can get points. you take 3 test not as difficult as one might think because they are similar to the examples and quizzes. fair grader and is willing to help if u ask. i got an A and i am Hispanic. 7 quizzes drops 2.

Pro. Lam is probably one of the best math teachers at ELAC. Everything he writes on the board is what he wants to see on tests which is very helpful. Most people in class criticized him for making small errors with numbers but he's only human and they're never concept mistakes. Took him for winter and it was a great pace.

Take his class if you have enough time to review your notes and attend every class. He is really helpful if you want to da academic study. BUT DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU HAVE NO ENOUGH TIME AND JUST PASS THIS COURSE!!!!!!!!!

Excellent professor

He does not lecture. He introduces the subject, does a few examples from the book, and then he puts more examples on the board and gives 10 - 15 minutes for the class to solve and he solves it after and answer questions. Most of class time is doing problems from the book. He gives a lot of homework however, they are due on the day of the CH test.

Prof. Lam is an awesome teacher :) If you just pay attention, do your work, and ask questions when you don't understand something, you will have no problem getting a good grade in his class. He does a good job of breaking down each concept. He may make a few mistakes when explaining the examples but he is only human; nobody is perfect. Lam can also be funny at times. Overall, great professor!!

He explained the concepts very well and told you things you need to know well before going to the next level. I like him.

He is a really good professor, if I can , I want to take another class of him .

So I took him for winter session, if you aren't good at math be prepared to spend a good 6+ hours a day studying doing homework. The pace is fast, but Lam makes sure you get the practice doing problems in class. He's got a bit of an accent, but you can understand. If you put in the work, you'll definitely pass (:

He's cool. So he has an accent, but still easy to understand and when he lectures he says things like "You do like this, not like this." So make sure to look up and see what he's referring to. Don't be afraid to ask questions even if he says that you should know this already, but he doesn't blame you and he'll clear it up. It helps to know basics

His lectures are clear and understandable despite his accent. He has a very fobby sense of humor and loves to pick on students. I was his #1 victim LOL. He has a fair grading system. If you master the homework, the exam is cake. He tells you exactly what will be on each exam. He'll replace your lowest test score with the final exam.

ATTENTION! If you want to pass his classes, do this... 1) do ALL the homework. 2) Take all the class notes, and master them because test questions are strikingly similar. Most of the examples he gives are not on in the book! 3) Exams are Not a piece of cake, but if your master the class notes you will be fine.

I'm not recommend to take his online class if no enough time to study. You need to study at least 10 hours per week in order to pass exam. There has tons of homework, weekly test, monthly online test and big four test. It was hardest class I ever met.

His test from book and lecture, but you must write every step. you can use calculator in test. It is not hard if you study. He will give 31 extra credit to help you. very nice professor.

I had Calculus in high school but I learned more from professor Lam than the high school teacher. Professor Lam is well organized. His lecture is very clear that you don't need to go to see tutors. It is difficult to get a bad grade if you understand the lecture and do all the homework " honestly" by yourself.

Professor Lam is a great instructor and willing to answer questions. Many examples are done during lecture. 7 Quizzes and drops lowest 2. Final replaces lowest test score. Tests & quizzes are tricky (usually the hardest examples done in lecture). If your first step is wrong, won't see the rest of your work. Class requires alot of study & practice.

This professor is very clear and gives time to complete homework.

The comment dated on 11-28-2017 was NOT true since Professor Lam always spent at least 3 meetings to review the test if the class meets 4 days a week. He explained the concept step by step. Great professor!

Took professor Lam this fall semester and it was a breeze. We had class 2x a week and always gave a heads up on when the next test was (2 class days in advance). His class was fair and the test & final were made up of problems we did in class. Pretty easy grader since he gives you partial credit even if the answer isn't completely right.

I take his 241 class. I love him. His quizzes are from what he taught. He always spends at least 3 days to review before the test, and the questions are all from it. He also gives the final test examples.

Lam is a straight forward Professor I took Math 241 with him He will prepare you for quizzes and exams He uses problems from his lecture examples and homework His downfall is his tough accent If you put it in the work you will pass His final was the study guide he gave us For the most part he is caring

great professor he explains problem step by step detailed yes he does work fast but if your a student that asks questions he will be happy to explain how he did the work and was very kind in answering any questions students had he gives the formulas in tests and still answers questions during the test make sure to practice with the hw & reviews

This is the 2nd time I have taken profesor Lam's class. He tries to teach us the best way so we can understand. Doing homework is definetly mandatory to pass this class. Once you review the notes he gives, you will understand what you are suppose to do. He gives reviews before we take a test and he wont test anything else than what he reviewed.

Professor Lam made the class easy for a calculus class. He curves the grade so top 4 tests will count and half the final score will go to the lowest test. It took me 3 classes to understand logarithms and he taught me well. Well organized, so he tests you what is from the class AND the test reviews.

We covered a lot of things! Lecture notes clarified a lot of messy topics in the Calculus textbook. The homework assigned was enough to understand what you're doing. Exams and Quizzes of good difficulty for new/average Calculus students. He gift wrapped everyone a 85% in the course. And a lot of people didn't take it. I got an A. Will take again!

very good professor I took it to MAth 125 and it was very good explains will. I recommend.

Just do the work. If you cant understand something then go back to the book and review. This class is not for people who cant teach themselves and its no easy A for those who struggle with math. But if you get math then it should be easy. His grading is more than fair just follow instructions. Couldve gotten a better grade if I paid attention.

Professor Lam explains Math so well although he has a strong accent. The one thing I like about him is that he always reviews lecture before every test which makes easier for me. He doesn't give too many assignments. However, if you want good gradings, you have to practice by yourself using his lecture and your hard work paid off in exams.

Lam may appear mean but he is a caring person. First couple of weeks he weeds out those who aren't ready for his course and that don't have a good mentality towards learning. Don't be late/miss. Gives partial credit up till where you make a mistake on problems. Stay on his good side he rewards hard work. Download notes and follow along in class.

He mainly just puts the notes up for stats and will expect you to write all of them down and he will review them in class and so he will give you a bunch of packets at once and will expect you to finish then on a certain date
