Prof.LU is amazing! He is so helpful and he gives you like 10 ways to get in touch with him so there is no reason why anyone shouldn't do well in this class. I dont like calc much but he helps you understand it and makes it much more enjoyable. Excellent teacher...not easy but very good!!! TAKE HIM!!!!
Is willing to help if you make the effort too.
Lu is a very good teacher. He does lots of examples in class so that you understand the problem. He makes the class very fun and interesting. Very good teach to have for Calc 2432.
............................................
He is a good a teacher but can get intimidating if you dont answer one his questions.
Prof. Lu is the best teacher I have ever had. He makes the class fun,and interesting. He fully explains everything, and if you have a problem, he'll take the time to explain it to you in class, or you can talk to him outside of class; either way, he is always there to help you. I have never seen a teacher so dedicated to the success of his stude
This teacher is a very fun guy. He cracks jokes and teaches at the same time. His class is not very hard. Take his class and be sure to sit in the back or he'll know your not there and harrass you on his lecture notes you get on line !!
Fun teacher, knows his stuff. Always willing to help. good teacher.
Awesome professor!! all around!! he knows his stuff, if you need help, his office door is always open. can get mad if you dont participate in class but hey...he cares about you understanding so quit being lazy. Go Professor Lu!!!!
This teacher is great! He really helps you do well in his class. Plus, there are no surprises on the quizes or test.
Great teacher. He cares about the students and gives them all tools need to pass class. Tests are VERY fair!
His teaching is the best!!! And he makes sure that everybody understands the information. GREAT TEACHER!!!!
Great professor - very willing to help.
Good Teacher. Willing to anwser questions before and after class. Would suggest taking for any math course.
Its midterm now and he is fair. I enjoy his class and teaching style. Two thumbs up from me so far.
He is a very great teacher. IF you do the homework problems and the review sheets for the test, you'll do great. If you have any questions, just ask him. He is very helpful
Takes the time to make sure everyone understands before moving on. If you still do not understand during class, he is willing to work with you until you understand.
He's extremely helpful and gives you plenty of ways to contact him. He understands if you work outside of the home and you can't make it to school during office hours. He does everything in his power to help you succeed, even if you don't think you can, he does.
Lu is a good guy, however I can not claim that he is the best teacher I have ever had. He spends to much of his class teaching to the smartest people and not enough time teaching to the people who are struggling. If he could recognize when he is starting to leave some people behind and slow down to get them caught up, then he would be great.
Mr. Lu is the BEST teacher I've had so far in college. He makes learning math as fun and entertaining as you could possibly make it. I laughed out loud everytime I went to class. Don't be fooled by all the good ratings though, you will have to work very hard to get an A or B in this class, but Mr. Lu is willing to help you as much as you need.
Great Prof. Very willing to help in any way. Not easy but very straightforward. Great guy!
He makes math fun. I've never liked math but I actually looked forward to his classes. He gives you every chance to do well by giving comprehensive review sheets, and lots of chances for bonus points. I also like that he doesn't mark problems completely wrong for silly mistakes (ie 2+2=5), he's more interseted that you understand the concept.
Mr. Lu is a really good math professor. He has a great sense of humor. There are many opportunities to earn bonus points. So, if you are expecting to learn more about math, then take Mr. Lu's class!
Mr. Lu is probably one of the best professors I've ever had. He is extremely helpful, encouraging, and always wants each student to succeed. Everyday he walks into class with a smile on his face. He loves to have fun during class, and he sure knows how to keep everyone involved and motivated by cracking jokes. Take this guy--he's amazing !!
great teacher..but this is calculus, don't fall behind on homework. it really has an effect for the test
man the guy rox!!!!! he is awesome in every way... take him!!! i order you to!!!! it is impossible not to like the guy his teaching methods are based on simplicity and if u put a caveman in his class he would do good. great teacher, and teaches really realy good. do the test reviews and ur good for the tests.
Great teacher, very helpful. Do your homework!
Prof Lu is one of the best math teachers @ GPC. By far my fav. ALWAYS willing to go the extra mile, he's a wonderful teacher and knows his stuff to the T... approaching from both sides. Always helpful and he gives mad crazy bonus points if you pay attention, which can help your grade exponentially. Take him for every class, learn, and enjoy!
Mr.Lu is a good prof., however U have do your part 2. He is often willing to explain until U understand. He makes it fun and somewhat EZ. Class participation is a must,U can earn bonus points in class.Do your HW. Most questions on the tests/quizzes come from the HW.If U don't show up to class, notes are posted on the web.
he helped me to understand pre-cal, when im really bad at math. he is nice and funny and makes really funny jokes :).
NEVER TAKE THIS "TEACHER" Will not help u if u ask. Unless you have had him before and you are one of his pets you can forget about getting any help from him. He says he will help but he is all talk. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT TAKE HIM!
All I can say about Albert is he's an awesome teacher!!! Best of the best!
LU ROCKS!!!! He is a great teacher who knows how to have fun in class and encourage the class to participate. Definately the best teacher I've had at GPC. He's very helpful but he expects you to do your part so don't slack. He will help you anytime and make sure you understand before continuing. Do yourself a favor and TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent teacher! The class is not easy....you have to work for your grade, but Mr. Lu is great. He knows his stuff, explains so you can understand, has an awesome website, and a good sense of humor. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
If you want a class where you simply sit in the back and take notes, then he is not for you. Mr. Lu demands participation in his class, but participation often leads to bonus points. He grades fairly and makes class fun. He also explains how and why formulas work, which makes them easier to understand and remember. Great teacher!
A top-rate prof. Passionate about the subject and demanding of students, but willing to go the extra mile to help the student learn.
very nice professor.!!!
The best math teacher I have ever had.
Good instructor but doesn't mess around on exams.
The teacher is cool as long as you do what he tels you to. Helps a lot if you take time to meet him during his office hours. His reviews help a lot as on remembering the whole chapter material, andas to just do good on the test.
I appreciate that he's enthusiastic, but if you didn't take him for pre-calc, watch out. He doesn't seem to understand that we all didn't have a rockin' pre-calc prof. and that we are not starting out on the same level. HE'LL FLAT OUT MAKE FUN OF YOU IN CLASS, and gets frustrated very easily if you don't understand within 30 sec or less.
He's using propganda from his website to force his students to come here and give him ratings -- how unfair. He's still awesome though and easily the best math professor at GPC, or what will be GPC for another year.
his exams seem to take a toll for the worst-i like this teaching methods and can appreciate his frustration with the lack of precal. knowledge-however i think that it should say something to him when on the second exam the number of F's doubled. since the exams weigh so heavily, we are in trouble if they become even more difficult..
I love the way that he teaches math in his classes. I really enjoy sitting in his class.In one word '' He is the best teacher ever''.
He is overall a good teacher,but if you are not on his favorites list you don't get bonus points for giving rt answers.
He is a very good teacher, and makes it easy to understand a tough subject. I don't think he could make it any easier to score well on his tests. If you fail his test, it's because you didn't review like he tells you to. If you are a reasonably intelligent person, listen in class and put a little effort into it, you should have an A or B easily.

he is a good teacher, but if you dont ask question on days that he wants everyone to ask them. he will pick on some people, and make them feel like complete fools.the way he is sometimes make make you feel like an idiot, if you dont pick up on hard math things right away. he is cool though.
do not take this teacher. he was so mean in a class to one person that this person was crying. if you dont get things, he'll embarrass you beyond anything you could imagine. i felt really sorry for this person. he actually cursed at this person infront of everyone. thats when you could hear them start to cry. wow dont take him, you'll regret it.
Lu is a great teacher, he listens, and he is clear about the topics he teaches. He emphasizes on memorizing the least amount possible, but rather learning the concept behind it. He is very intelligent, and wants his students to do well. Take him if you can!
the best teacher. gives lots of bonus pts. drops a test. he posts his lectures online. he is good.

Awesome teacher who goes every single foot of that extra mile for his students. Excellent exam reviews and long officehours to get extra help. Plus, I never thought I could learn math and after Mr. Lu, I really understand Math. Wow. Great teacher and great experience. Register fast because his class fills fast.
Mr. Lu is a great Math teacher; he knows his subject and teaches it very well. Comprehensive review sets are given prior to each exam, so they couldn't be more fair. Mr. Lu does whatever he can to make you understand the subject matter. But this is not an easy A: You definitely have to do your part. I would defintely recommend him!
I recommend this class he does everything in his power to help students make a good grade in this class. Any mean comments about him are just people who slacked and expected an easy A. He is a wonderful teacher!!
I haven't been in a math class in years. And if you, (i.e. me) have a stupid question he has no problem taking up class time to answer it! He doesn't sleep enough. He thinks he's funny.
He is definitely one to take. He makes sure that everyone understands the information and if you have any problems he will do his best to help you. His bonus points are the best!!
Prof. Lu is a great teacher. He challenges his students and wants the best for them. Very sweet and has a lot of jokes. :) **He gives bonus points**
He is the best!!!!!!His bonus points are great....This class is not an easy A,you have to put in your best and he is always there to help.
great teacher. bonus points, curving, plus he helps a whole lot! no way you can fail his class unless you put ZERO effort. he posts every single note on his website, in case you miss the class. review sets for tests and no attendence policy.
I’m not getting how anyone can complain about him. You want a good grade? It’s simple: come to the class, do the homework and review sets, and if you have any questions he’ll be more than happy to help you, he has plenty of office hours. Want some bonus points? Participate in the class. It’s not an easy A, but if you do your part you’ll be just fin
Simply the best teacher I've ever had the experience of learning under. He puts forth more effort in getting students to understand the material than I've ever seen any other teacher do. His classes alone made me change from a Biology major to Math major, I highly recommend taking him. Oh, and pay no attention to anyone griping from a Calc 1 class.
Look people, if u are looking for an easy A, stay away (good luck finding an easy A in Calc II)Lu is prepared, professional, and extremely helpful. It is not possible for a prof to care more about students' success. Very fair, gives X-credit, and will go out of his way to help. Yes, its a hard class, but he wants you to pass more than you do.
Professor Lu is really a great teacher and knows what he is talking about. Yeah, he does get a little angry with you if you don't participate but really he is doing it for your own good. He is very helpful and bonus points are awesome along with the review sets. I recommend taking him because he is a great teacher!
Excellent Teacher!!!! No surprises teacher, very organized, if you pay attention during class you can get extra credit(i.e. bonus points) lots there. If you want to do well talk with him, he wants to help. Explains the material in an understanable way. He apreciates questions from the students. So ask lots of them. Im glad I took him! HE'S GREAT!!!
It's nice to come across a techer, every once in a while, who actuallly cares whether or not his students understtand the material he's teaching and genuinely wants them to succeed. He goes above and beyond himself to make sure everyone who needs help gets it. Great guy, great teacher, great class.
Great teacher. Never had anyone like him ever. If you keep up with homework and class notes, gauranteed an A. Ask as many questions as possible. Very smart & funny and also jokes around at the same time. He'll do anything to get you to get the material. Just pay attention in the class and earn those bonus points as many as possible. He's The Best.
He presents the material in a manner easy to understand and is thorough. Keeps class fun with a sense of humor. He was extremely helpful during office hours and offers lots of opporunities for bonus points. Keep up with the homework and ask questions and you'll ace the class.
He is the man!!! No other teacher will be available for help like he is. Can explain all the way to algebra terms if need to. I took him all the way and would have taken him for Cal III but it was not in his schedule. Highly recommended.
Mr. Lu is awesome. He will do anything in his power yo help you understand. I have taken him from precalc to CalcII. And I would like to wait to take him for CalcIII.
Awesome teacher. if you just sit in the class, you learne the whole thing, you do not need to be worry about anything. you will love his class. I wish I could go back to his class again. thank you very much Mr.Lu
More than willing to help if you don't understand. The bonus point system he uses is an effective tool to promote class participation and willingness to learn!
Mr. Lu is the best math teacher i have ever had throughout my whole schooling career.
Professor Lu is the best. His willingness to help you do your best goes above and beyond. The work is tough, but he makes it as painless as it can be. You would be crazy not to take any course that he is teaching.
No Comments
a great professor. He always keeps the student in mind. With his office hours and the ability to contact him via internet, he always has a fast response. Any teacher that will answer a question for you at 3:00 am is a good professor. How someone fails his class is beyond me.
He's very helpful, willing to help everyone, and makes the class interesting.
Mr. Lu's class is not the way to go if u struggle in math. I'm glad I dropped his class so it won't affect my GPA. He is very impatient with u if you don't respond within 10 sec and only caters to a few good people. Do yourself a favor and do not take this man. He is horrible and not compassionate at all. He only cares about the smart math students
Mr. Lu is an excellent teacher. He explains the problems where they become understandable. He gives lots of homework, but does not pick them up. If you complete the homework though you will pass the many quizzes he is famous for and pass his class. Many thanks to Mr. Lu.
The worse math teacher ever. DO NOT TAKE HIM! He is always grumpy and if you don't understand something he will make u feel stupid.
HORRIBLE! Worse teacher ever. If you don't understand something he will make u fill dumb. and he always makes fun of his math 98 kids
i wouldnt say his class is easy but as far as math teacher go he is one of the best ive had post all notes online so u dont have to scramble to get everything down and he gives review sets before each test and tons of extra credit
He will help you if you are the type of person that needs to know why the formula or process works. He will make fun of you if you ask a dumb question (sometimes it's very funny) but he will also make sure you undsrand the problem no matter how many times he has to explain it. He is a great math teacher and is passionate about his students succeeding.
Mr. Lou was an awsome teacher!! I like how he uses bonus points to get us to pay attention in class, he is funny and keeps the class intresting.
I really enjoyed the class...he's a really good professor and he knows how to explain...i understood a bunch of the stuff that i didn't get in pre-calc...homework is not mandatory, but it helps you understand what ur doing and gives you practice...great class...everyone should take him
hez an awesum professor. i got an A in the class. he gives bonus points for every class which you gotta grab inorder to raise that avg. A job well Done Mr Lu!!!!!!!!!
The best teacher I ever had. Highly recomended. He made our class fun and educational. I will take him in Calculus II. Take him and you will love math.
He will smile in your face and act like he is concerned about your progress but will fail you in an instant. This is not bitterness talking but reality. I busted my behind studying and even went to see him during office hours but things did not workout. He gets mad too easily and have his "favorites". Do not take this man.
I have taken Lu 2x-the first semester I managed an A, then for CALC1, I got a B. I disagree with what others say where the only nice comments are from people who get As. He was extremely helpful and provided plenty of opportunities for bonus points. If he got mad, it was because he gives you every opp to succeed and still ppl don't try.
Its not about the grade, its about the teachers attitude. He has a very bad temper, and this makes for an unpleasant class room environment. Even if you make a good grade, its still stressful because of the attitude and enger problem he has. Take someone else, you will be glad you did.
By far the best math teacher i have ever had!!! i love how he makes up lil stories to help us understand! his bonus pnt. system is GREAT!!!!!! the only way to do bad in his class is by not trying!
Calculus can be hard, and Mr. Lu is not going to spoon feed it to you, but he'll try to make it as painless as possible. He'll go out of his way to explain things, but you MUST ask questions, and you have to put effort into the class. He demands a lot of his students, but he will give you every tool needed for success. Best teacher I've ever had.
I had Lu for Pre-Cal and Cal 1, and he is awesome! Great teaching methods. He doesn't like those people who don't put effort, but if you were a teacher, neither would you. Drops a test, drops a quiz, sometimes omits quizzes, easy bonus points (which can help your grade dramatically), provides extra help. What more could you want? =) TAKE HIM!
This guy has got a bad temper, and if you are not his favorite, your out of luck on getting help. His class room is a very hostile environment.
Wow, great teacher!! I never learned math like this! He really makes you understand and he's laid back and funny! Wow!!! For the first time ever, I enjoyed learning Calculus!!!
An absolutely horid professor. He is extremely degrading and has a terrible temper. He also picks on people for not knowing something, and makes your mistakes known to the rest of the class. Spare yourself and do not take him.
No Comments
He sucks sooooo bad. I mean, he tries to actually teach you mathematics. Crazy man! I actually left the class knowing something unlike my prior math teachers. I would never take him again. I don't want to know anything of math and physics. All I want to know is the bottle. The drink and Vajj is my life. BEER!
He's good. Kinda hard, but if you study, its not too bad.
He's cool! He's just misunderstood. I did notice his sick sense of humor but I thought that most of his jokes were pretty funny. This class was really hard and I pretty much failed it but I still liked going to class. You have to do your homework and understand it and go for the bonus points.
He is best math teacher in my life, and he makes his course very intersting. Mr.Lu is very gentel and nice professor, and he likes to help his student. OH quick advise... "Do not skip his class" becasue you will regreat.
Hes a good teacher BUT hes a a**hole. He will not explain something if u don't understnad. he will make u feel dumb and embarass u in front of the entire class. once he figures out u don't understand calculus your his target for the rest of the sem. he will call u out left and right. Only positive(+) thing about him is that hes a REALLY GOOD TEACHE
professor Lu knows his stuff! Impressive(in terms of math..!) he took real good care of all his students in class & most of all - his bonus points will put u on top of d world:-) d teacher's awesome & explains the stuff in a very receptive language.
He was always ready to help anyone who needed it. Explained things well.
This teacher is awesome. He makes everything easy to understand and your tests come from the reviews.
Lu was one of the best math teachers I have ever had. He actually makes you think... thats a good thing! You actually learn instead of just memorizing for the the test. All you need to do to be succesful is attempt the homework, ASK QUESTIONS, and get bonus points. If you don't understand, Lu will do anything to help, just attempt it yourself first
lu is a hell of a teacher. really helpfull and wants every student to succeed. hard but you will understand this stuff. you better pick his calculus 1 2 and 3 class
All-in-all he's a great teacher. The class is fairly easy if you participate because of extra credit points(one kid got 97 in my class). He is clear with his teaching and has a class website which he keeps consistently updated.
Moves extremely fast with too few examples (too basic that will not help with exam preparation). Plays favorites in class. Grades fair with bonus point potential to make up for hard level, but only seemed to call on the same two students everytime. extremely helpful during office hours when he shows up. Nice guy and very smart.
mr. lu is the best math teacher i ever had. he knows what he is doing and very smart. His method of teaching is very helpfull.he is just great.u have take ur calc classes with him.
very good classes and vry helpful
The Best Teacher at GPC! Extremely helpful! going into the final (in calc III) 60% of my class has an A! If you pay attention you'll do well. If you dont understand ASK! Tests are not easy, but they come straight from the review sets. bonus points RULE. Best math class I've ever taken, hands down. take from him if you can! LU ROCKS!
He just doesn't seem to care... incredibly hard grader, tests were harder than the review sets (he says its the other way around), never shows up for office hours, begs people to ask questions but says they are stupid questions and wont answer. bonus point system is cool, but he only calls on the same people. I wouldn't sign up for him again...
Future Engineers must take him, Business majors must not take him. People who thinks that other professors easier than Prof.Lu, you must think over because he teaches concepts I mean pure concepts. He tests on concepts, not just whether you got the answer or not. Please be aware that whatever he teaches in lecture you must look over and do all of h
Course was taught extremely well, with proofs of material taught conceptually and through application. Theory was very accurately portrayed and questions based upon theory were very well answered. Excellent student-pupil correspondence. I highly recommend this professor for Multivariable calculus in the State of Georgia!
Lu rocks! He's not easy, but when is Calc 3 ever easy? You need some self-discipline for this course - show up even though he doesn't take attendance, and do the HW even though he doesn't collect it. Otherwise, you'll regret it at test time. Lu is an experienced prof who knows how to have fun with his students. Highly recommended - the best at GPC!
Good teacher, very helpful
BEST CALC 3 PROFESSOR, NO JOKE. I'm a student at Georgia Tech and can tell you that he is the best professor I have ever had for Math. He makes u understand concepts and thats what he cares about. He doesn't mind giving out As, as long as you earn it. Tests are challenging but very do-able, do the review sets and you will do fine. Very funny to
Extremely good at getting concepts across to students. Very knowledgeable in this and other fields as well, allowing for a more well-rounded learning experience.
Mr. Lu is the man. He is one of the best math teachers i have ever had
good teacher, very helpful, fun to learn in his class, there is interaction in class with the " find fault - get bonus " ...overall it was a good experience...
He is ok, He is very helpful and tries to make everyone understand. But he is really strict and the test are super challenging. Overall, the class is Challenging.
If you really want to learn math, take it. He teaches very well.
Good teacher. Makes class fun but sometimes just gets really annoying. Gives anyone a chance for an A. No matter how many tests you fail if you get bonus points you will be fine. The one concept that will always stay in my head is FU!!!
Cannot express how much I loved this teacher. This is the first year I actually understood the math I was doing. You are going to have to work for him (he doesn't just hand it to you), but he will bend over backwards to help you understand. Made average grades on his test but he has a bonus point system that brings your grade up. Highly recommended
Terrible professor and person. He makes fun of people in class and does it to a degree that's extremely degrading. Also, his teaching is really lacking. He only teaches to the smart people and doesn't want to help if you have a question. Just save yourself and find another professor, there can't be one worse than him.
I would not take Mr. Lu ever again! He only seems to care about certain students and not those that are struggling. His ego is too big and he thrives off of the a** kissing comments that are left on this site. Personally, I wouldn't recommend mr. lu teaching my dog because of the way he treat people who lack understanding in this class.
The best math teacher in GPC. His lecture is very clear. I recommend you to take his class. HE IS DA BEST MATH TEACHER.
I took this professor for all my calculus classes, and comparing him to other math classes at GPC and GaTech, this professor is unparalleled in ability. Homework is assigned yet optional, and usually unnecessary as you will fully grasp the concept after lecture. If you don't, his notes are available online, and he offers plenty of office hours.
I fell in love with math after I took his class:)
this guy is horrible, he belittles you if you are weak in the fundamentals, his review sets are pointless because half the questions arent from the review sets, he writes the notes down, tells some bad jokes and expect you to know everything. also this guy dsnt realize people have jobs, if your looknfor a break and some1 to guide u in math.look agn
worst teacher.. if you are not on eof his favorites or one of the student that had him before then your not going to have a good time in the class. he thinks he's funny but really he's not. i dont think he should be a teacher. he knows his math but shouldnt be the one to teach it if you know what i mean.
HORRIBLE INSTRUCTOR! HORRIBLE ATTITUDE! HE ONLY CARES ABOUT THE SMART STUDENTS. IF YOU STRUGGLE IN MATH, TAKE SOMEONE ELSE OR OTHERWISE LOOK FOR A BIG DROP IN YOUR GPA BECAUSE HE IS HAPPY TO FAIL YOU. HE MAY KNOW MATH, BUT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY RELAY IT TO STUDENTS AND HAS THE AUDACITY TO MAKE FUN OF YOU IF YOU STRUGGLE IN MATH! GOOD LUCK!!
absolutely horrible teacher. Total favoritism to smart students, and makes all the other students feel as if they're stupid and makes fun of them in front of everyone. very cocky, and thinks hes so wonderful. you have to study like there's no tomorrow, or he'll totally bring you down. not worth messing up your G.P.A over
Albert Lu is a good friend and amazing teacher. If you would like to achieve in school definetly take Mr. Lu. Very helpfull. Go to office hours and do your homework. Gives review sets before the tests. Do well on the review sets and you will do well on the tests
Really... all those with the negav=tive messages have issues. This teacher is one of the best ever. He is extremely helpful. Yes the class is not easy but he makes it very interesting and makes you want to come to class. Math is never going to be easy unless you are an exceptional genius. keep up with the homeworks and do the review set and you'll
Wow, I really don't see how anyone can say anything bad about Professor Lu! He puts himself out there for the students more than any other teacher I've seen. He's incredibly fair/democratic when it comes to helping/calling on students. He creates review sets that are, for all intents and purposes, identical to Exams. Plus, he's a genius =D Lu rocks
All I got say is that if you want to learn? take his class.And remember, teachers are not magicians, YOU HAVE GOT TO DO THE WORK!...... specially in math.
I think that mr. Lu is one of the best math teacher alive. I took his math98 last fall & did great. His lectures are very clear. Last spring, I had to take math1111 w/o mr. lu I hated my teacher. Now I'm taking him for math1113 it is harder but i am trying. I wouldn't take another math class if mr. lu is not teaching it.
Woderful Professor!!
Excellent professor who explains things in a simpler way that people can understand rather than using difficult terms like most professors do. He really cares about his students and want them to succeed. Also, he gives many opportunites to improve your grade. BEST MATH PROF. I EVER HAD!
Stop being stuck up pls learn to teach
he's an excellent teacher. he really wants to make outstanding students out of everybody in his class. Moreover, if you didn't do well on a test, he gives you another opportunity to get a better score with the bonus points. even though i didnt like math, i began to like it when i took his class. take him and you'll never regret it.
Excellent professor - highly recommended. This is by no means an "easy A" math class. You will be required to attend class (on-time) and spend a few hours each week completing lengthy homework assignments. Mr. Lu does provide a study guide that mirrors the exams that he gives. He will ALWAYS make time for students who need extra help.
I have just started in one of his Calc classes, and whilst he seems a very competant teacher, his attitude leaves a lot to be desired. His bonus point system is far from objective as it is he who deems who is worthy enough to correct his mistake. I also find the fact he makes these deliberate mistakes a particularly childish method of instruction.
I have no clue where all these positive comments are coming from. Lu was extremely degrading and just overall very mean. He wasn't even that great of a professor either. He only taught to the smart students then would yell at the rest for not knowing what was going on. Don't waste your time, go ahead and find a different professor
I AM TAKING HIS CLASS AND WOW...HE DOESN'T GO EASY ON ANYONE.HE EVEN YELLS AT STUDENT WHO DOES NOT PARTICIPATE (RAISE HAND TO ASK QUESTION OR GIVE ANSWERS TO QUESTION).YOU CAN'T JUST SIT THERE AND RELAX..YOU ARE CONSTANTLY CALLED ON OR HE WILL START CALLING OUT ON PEOPLE TO SEE IF THEY KNOW THE MATERIAL.IF YOU ARE GOOD AS MATH, TAKE HIM. IF NOT DON
He is awesome! Rockstar! LOL
I don't know why there are bad comment about professor Lu. He teaches in a way that makes things easy. His exam is easy since it's the same as the review sets and HW. Only students that are lazy will get grade below A. Students who don't study always blame the professor, these type of students are sucksss and will fail in any other class as well wi
Whatelse should I say? A great professor with a sense of humor and cares much about his students. : ) Prof. Lu, you rock!! CW rocks too :p
HE IS THE GREATEST PROF. I'VE EVER HAD. FUN, EASY TO UNDERSTAND, EVERYTHING IS CLEAR. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!
he is awesome! he explains the material well. he makes learning the material fun. the material is a little hard but it makes it easy. he is great. take him! i'm going to miss him. :(
Excellent teacher. His class is not easy, but he cares about and helps his students a lot. Best math teacher i'v ever had... i would take him as many times as i could. TAKE HIM!!!
Has developed a wonderful style of teaching and some interesting methods in the classroom. Putting the notes online means that you can just sit back, listen and actually think about what he is saying. The bonus points keep students involved. Really cares that students do well, and goes out his way to help. However, needs to control his temper more.
There are math teachers who regurgitate arbitrary crap. There are teachers who truly understand math. Lu IS math. Well, tech. not "math" but you know..;) I wish all teachers put forth the effort he does. Has a website with grades/notes. Offers bonus points for correcting him. If you want to learn, take him. He's always around to help. A+++
Honestly, this is the hardest class I've ever had in my life! I never knew I could study so much until I took Lu's class. But Lu is an excellent teacher, very enthusiastic.
he is really great. i really recommend him. he explains things so well. he breaks down calc 2 to preclac level to ensure that everyone is following. really nice and fun guy. his exams are all that easy but if you do the review set and homework you will do fine.
A+! The Best Prof in my life! If you take him, you will DO MATH! You will LEARN MATH! You will ENJOY MATH!
If you love Math, you will love him. I would love to have him in every single course because of how good he is. He is my best teacher!
Calc II is a hard class, but he managed to make it pretty clear and semi-interesting. He always explains the logic behind things instead of just having student's memorize formulas. Good prof to take, but not exactly an easy A.
Very good! Although he yelled at us sometimes, he was still one of the best math teachers I have ever had. All you really need to do in order to do well in his class is the study guides he issues through his website before each test (most important), the homeworks (not graded, but helps), and answer his bonus point questions. Do all that: Easy A!!!
This guy is the best prof you'll ever have... he cares about his students genuinely and goes way out of his way to listen and explain things... what's more- his hours are like a college kids, he stays up til 4 and wakes up at noon, so you can ask him Qs anytime... or just pester him ;) best prof. ever.
No thick accent, willing to help. If you're willing to work a little bit an A is by no means hard to come by. But expect to be in class, paying attention, & doing homework.
This guy loves math and girls.I like the way of teaching but personal behavior.
Great teacher,I highly recommend him. His class can be considered hard or easy, as he is extremely helpful and gives you everything you need to exceed, but expects hard work in return. He is passionate about his subject and helps you learn the concept,not just the method. He helps as much as you let him Great class for those who truly want to learn
(calc1) Of all Math classes I've taken, this has been the most enjoyable due to Al. Calc1 is hard so no cake-walk here but Lu is super awesome teacher. Need more teachers like him! Everyone is class thinks he's great... but be prepared to work your tail off.... but you definitely will know the material after passing his class.
He's a great instructor, explaining things clearly and understandably. He gives a lot of his time, but expects students to, too. Do HW, test reviews, attend class, and you'll get an A.
Thank god for his review sets. I'm really not a fan of calculus after this semester, but that has nothing to do with his teaching. He's a really great instructor who has developed some excellent techniques. Goes out of his way to help everybody pass.
THE GOOD: He knows his stuff in and out, gives very clear notes, passes out great review sets for tests, gives bonus pts for correcting lecture mistakes and maintains a website with all class lectures, notes, hw, etc. THE BAD: He plays favorites (especially with bonus pts) and encourages a culture of brown-nosing in his classes. Still, take him!
4tests-65% with 3 being 20% n one worse being 5%. quizzes-10%, final-25%. quize=HW problems. exams=review sets. plus bonus point added to ur test grade if u correct math errors in class. one of the good teachers i've ever had. good teaching,clarity, u have to work a little hard but it pays off in the end. I had A's in both calc2 n calc3!!
Class is not an easy but calc isn't an easy subject. Had him for Pre-calc and enrolled in calc 2. Always available for help. Comes in on the weekend. Michigan/ga.tech alumni is obvious. A+
Best math professor ever
Hey, Don't let the rating fool you. You will have to work for you grade. He show favor to the younger kids.. Not the teacher for the adults or full time workers.. overall his is a ok teacher.. He won't you to learn it the way he teaches. Also he will not do any problems other than what is in his notes.
Like they say, don't let these rating fool you. He is a good Math teacher, but he is hard to understand, and love to smoke. If you smoke you will pass. Teaches by his book.. He gives lot of material.. He is not the teacher for adults. He thinks he is the smartest person on campus, which he may be, but don't show it. Don't like his teaching MIKE.
I would not take Mr. Lu ever again! He only seems to care about certain students and not those that are struggling. His ego is too big and he thrives off of his website. Personally, I wouldn't recommend mr. lu teaching my dog because of the way he treat people who lack understanding in this class. Not for B....ssssss
I am a full time worker & a nonsmoker. I am doing fine. Mr Lu is an awesome teacher. It's Cal, you have to work hard. He does problems other then what he provides & his offic is always open. You get bouns points to help with grades. Most university teachers are no where nice as him. If you can't deal with Mr. Lu, you may struggle at a university
I am shocked by some of the overwhelming amount of negative comments towards Lu. Quite un-surprisingly, those who complained that Lu was mean enough to actually have academic standards had trouble witting a review that contained punctuation and capital letters. I work full-time, and doing well in his class meant that I missed out on some sleep.
Yes, Prof. Lu has the audacity to give bad grades to bad students. Guess what: that is pretty much how life works. No good boss cares how hard you worked on a project; they only care about results. Frankly, I do not want to see the world full of bad engineers who only passed classes because they had "understanding" and "sympathetic" professors.
Great teacher. Expects a lot of time and effort but is always willing to help. Do your homework, review sets and final is cumulative don't forget the stuff from the beginning of the semester. The best math teacher i have ever had. Remember best does not mean easy. You'll have to work hard. Definitely recommend him.
Look, it's not that much Engineering in the world. Like everyone is saying you have to be one of his buddies like Mike and company. If you take him get ready..Don't say D after it its over If you are young and full then take him.Never again it's its my money out of my pocket.If I ask a question I expect a answer even if I should know it
Don't think this professor is the best teacher at GPC.You must be a master in math. He thinks if you dont understand his teaching skills you are Dum. Don't expect a lot out of him if you go to his office for help. You will get 0 help from him. I would prefer geting a teacher that takes the time to make sure his students are getting the work.
Lu kicks ass. That is all there is to it. So what the man expects you to make an effort. Guess what you are going to learn something. I had him years ago for cal 3 at GPC. I learned more in his class in a summer semester than I did in an two years finishing up my BS.
I took AP Calc BC during my high school year and I DID NOT understand any of the concepts but Dr.Lu really crystal clarified every single concepts and that really helped me. Well he will mock you and embarass you for not knowing simple concepts which I can understand, b/c that is a proof of not studying.
He is a really nice teacher, but he is very mean as a person. Clarify a lot of concepts and actually knows his stuff, but he takes favorite students and always calls them when it comes to bonus point. Dont like him as a person, but , well, he is very good at teaching. Ask him questions and work really hard, i got a B in this class
He is a wonderful teacher. If your major is math, his class is really helpful. Take him.
he is very good in teaching the materials. take him. amazing person
U either hate the guy or love him- Calc is challenging already as it is-wouldve stayed in the class if it wasnt for the guys pretentious attitude and demeaning behavior towards others who were a step behind or were not able to express themselves clearly-seem like guy has a superiority complex-take him only if your on top of your previous mathclasse
Gives you everything you need to get an A on his exams. The only excuse for not doing well in this class is not studying, or not answering bonus questions. Has an amazing teaching ability, great teacher. Does take favorites.
Best math teacher I ever had. Turns out (probably thanks to Mr. Lu) I really LIKE calculus. Who'd a thunk? He does pick favorites, the people who raise their hand and ask or answer questions. I personally don't think there is anything wrong with that. If you are willing to do the work, take him.
Oh, I missed the Old Lu. I don't know what happened to him, but he is completely change the way he used to teach. For some reason he become so mean and arrogant. So of y'all know what I'm talking about.
As a math teacher, he's great (particularly if you're a female), but as a person, he's downright horrible. Don't get between him and his coke and cigarettes, or it'll be a day you'll forever regret. Tests come straight from homework though, so do the homework and you'll be fine.
I took him for calculus II and got an 'A' in the class. He really clarifies and simplifies the concepts. He is not easy, but if you show up to class and make corrections you earn bonus points he adds to your test grades. You will learn more in his class than with any other teacher.
Awesome teacher. Whether you like him or not, he explains the material extremely well as many times as you need (as long as you ask). He has an authoritative presence, making his classes great learning environments with minimal confusion or distractions. I highly recommend him to anyone who is going into a math or physics-heavy field.
Proff. Lu is the worst teacher.he shows favortism to only the really smart kids in the class if your struggling in his class goodluck on gaining any bonus points or help from him.Doesnt really help you during class so his favorite saying is "see you in office hours" if you cant make it to office hours too bad.DONT TAKE HIM..
Do you like respect? Respect is demanded by students but not given to them. Some pretty harsh moments during class.If you are a natural at math AND do your homework you will be fine, this is sort of a "rich get richer" type of class. Those who already know the most get the most bonus points. If your pretty and smart you will do great.
best math prof!!!!!! i took his calcIII and get an A.
Grade A Math professor, as good as you would expect at an institution like Georgia Tech. Very fair, and describes the material well. I wish he would teach more science based courses, like physics- he's good. Take him and study well, because he wants you to learn the material. Wears an awesome leather jacket and is cooler than anyone else at GPC.
I went into this class expecting a great teacher and i was completely wrong. Professor Lu is rude and condescending. He made me feel like i was an idiot for not understanding what he wanted. I attend UGA during the school year and was expecting this class to easier or comparable to math there. It was much more difficult and not worth Lu's ****
I came into the class after not being in school for 15 years. I did not start off well in the class, but I payed attention and applied myself. He was very helpful and was able to reach everyone who was willing to apply themselves.
Professor Lu is a brilliant man and a talented teacher. He truly loves the subject he teaches and will bend over backward to help you if you ask. Understand that he only requires that you use all of your potential, don't take his class thinking you'll skate by cause you won't. He's not hard and gives a ton of extra credit.
Professor Lu is hands down one of the best professors I've ever had. He explains everything extremely well, really cares, makes sure people are actually understanding him, and gives a ridiculous (in a good way) amount of extra credit. If you care about the class, you'll be treated well no matter your initial skill level.
He's a cool guy; however, sometimes it seems like he only picks on certain students. He writes all his notes on the overhead which is also saved online, so that students can always go back copy any missed lectures. He has this "bonus points" activity throughout the semester, where he adds a point to your grade if you correct him on any mistakes.
He is my hero!!! Best teacher ever :) He explains every little necessary steps. He doesn't get angry when you ask questions, but he laughs at you if you ask stupid questions.
He is good professor of Mathematics. He gives lots of opportunities for extra credits. Doing homework is very essential for quizes and tests.
Professor Lu is a life changing teacher and the lessons that I learned from him have transcended his class and changed how I view my other courses and professors. Anyone can regurge a formula; Prof Lu expects you learn the CONCEPT behind the material that is being taught. I would recommend Lu to anyone who wants to LEARN Calc. I got an A, Calc 3
lu is like one of the only professors who actually teach u things, not just memorize crap...he also sat with us in the study groups and helps us with our problems...nobody is perfect.....would hightly recommond him to whoever wants to really study....
He is very condescending. He is a good instructor, but he is not helpful. He does belittle people in class. He recommends students not doing well to drop his class and not retake it with him. He gives a review set, but it is nothing like the test. He does not curve, which is not a bad thing. If you are smart, or struggling, he'll call you out.
If you love math or anything related, take him. But if your only interest in taking Calc 2 is fulfilling a requirement that doesn't really matter to your studies, don't take him. I'd also caution those with low self-esteem. He jokes & teases to try to keep things light but he can be unintentionally cruel. It makes it hard to learn from him at times
so hard and he has some moral problem. my advice is dont take his class.
Very focused on preparation for next level up. More than willing to help, extremely available, cares although it may not seem so at times. Go to his office, listen carefully, do the homework till youve mastered it, participate, do the review set, know the concepts, take the class seriously. I'm not going to come out with an A, but I know the stuff.
I have never had a teacher as organized as Mr Lu,and his website is extra help for student. However, for some reason, he feels insecure in his classroom.He tries to make sure that no one ever takes advantage of his good manners. That reduces the quality of his teaching.
He is just a big baby. He gets an orgasmic pleasure to screw up your GPA. I got an A but I saw people crying after his final! Come onnnnn, grow up Lu!
Withdraw from his class. He knows his stuff but the problem is he is very cruel and can throw a big temper tantrum. He pick on people he doesn't like and will humiliate them in front of the class. Get the wrong answer? He will roll his eye and stare at you.
Do not take him... He really makes Tests difficult and the study guide have nothing to do with the actual exam.. He will Not help you in Office Hours.
As an engineering student, I'd say he's the best math teacher I've ever encountered. His teaching technique is engaging and his knowledge is sound. It's work and he can be eccentric but it's for the purpose of teaching and it's highly effective. Bend over backwards to take him and you will get a chance understand and actually enjoy math.
Lu is a good teacher, I don't see any favoritism in my class. He is funny, and makes sure everybody is paying attention. He is too conceptual for my taste, I don't need to know the applications of calculus, that's what my chem, physics and biology classes are for. Other than that, study hard and persevere...
He had to be the best math teach I have had. He gives out extra credit to those who pay attention in class and can answer questions or catch mistakes he make on purpose, which keeps everyone up, alert and focused. He really wants each and every one of his students to learn, so he makes it possible. He is a winner.
Best math teacher ever. Answered every question that was ever asked to him in a clear and courteous way. Keeps the class interesting and as funny as math gets. HOWEVER, the class is HARD but it REALLY prepares you for the next level! Tons of extra credit offered! Only take his class if you truly want to learn!
Mr. Lu is great at explaining complicated math and giving students the steps to solving problems. That said, he is very unapproachable as he shows preference to students who are especially gifted. He is a great teacher, but he expects a lot from his students. No curves. No hand holding. Extremely difficult exams. Arrogant attitude.
Prof Lu is by far the best math teacher at GPC. He is extremly smart and can explain and answer any question that comes his way. He will take his time to make sure that everyone understands the material. Lu is really funny and loves making jokes. I higly recommend if you really want to undersand calculus. By far the greatest and brightest teacher!
Prof Lu is amazing!!!
He is a great teacher, but really really really hard. You will learn a lot tho.
I would not recommend him anyone unless the person to whom I was giving advice is gifted or has taken the subject prior. Everything, from his "bonus points system," to the fact that his test =/ study guide and homework, are testament to his academic arrogance. He's great at explaining things, but that's no boon if tests are not reflective thereof.
For an average student who doesn't excel in math, I wouldn't recommend this teacher.
Teaches really well, and has a great sense of humor. Hates memorization, so everything you learn is practical. I've gotten more help during his office hours than I have from any other teacher in the entire time I've been in college. Lots of opportunities for bonus points on tests!
Very solid teacher who really knows his stuff. He does make it an intentionally difficult class (on top of the difficult subject matter) but gives you all the help and resources you need to pass. Note: it's a very fast paced class. He teaches very conceptually, which is cool. I'd recommend brushing up on pre-calc before taking this class.
Lu is a rockstar. I took him for Calc II over the summer, and I don't think I could have done it if I had any other professor. If you work hard for him, he will work hard for you. He has an amazing talent for boiling down difficult math concepts into something tangible. KNOW YOUR PRECALC. Tough, but very fair. Best professor I've had at GPC.
Lu is a good professor, it was a hard topic and he has a tendency to go a little fast over certain topics, but he's a great professor. He does play favorites, but I would take him again.
I dont recommend this guy at all. He is very rude and plays favorites.
I wouldn't recommend this teacher!!!!HE IS RUDE!!!Do not take him... He really makes Tests difficult and the study guide have nothing to do with the actual exam.
DO NOT TAKE HIM
He is hands-down the best professor I have had at GPC and the best math professor I have had anywhere. His tests are hard but if you work hard, you can get an A and you will learn a lot. He is a very bright guy and can engage the class well. I was dreading taking a 2 hr math class at 730p but he made the class enjoyable. Highly recommended!
I will highly recommend this professor to those who are willing to work. No matter, you're good in math or not! Best teacher for me!!!
insolent professor...class is only for those who are super smart in math already...and you need to be otherwise you wont get bonus points which u need to pass the class...
This class was not easy, but if u do the hw, and study the lectures, u will do well. Tests are a lot like the study guides, so if u completely understand the study guides, you will do well on tests. Make sure u understand concepts, and u can do anything. He made the class enjoyable. It was a fun math class.
The best way I can describe his class is if you want/need to learn Calculus for the future, take his class. If you simply want to get an easy B, take someone else. His classes are tough. I took him for Calc 2 and 3, got C's in both, but I learned way more about math in the process than any other class I could possibly take.
I would not recommend this class for adults; by that, I mean someone who does not need to be told to grow up or toughen up. He treats his class like children when he needs to just let those who are lazy fail. If you have your act together, then this is not the professor for you.
2 big issues that make me not recommend this professor. He is extremely hostile and is obsessed with proving his superiority. And his the extent of his help is telling you whether or not you are correct. He goes over the theory of the subject ONCE, and will tell you whether you are right or wrong as many times as you like; that should be inverted.
It's great training for how to deal with a boss who needlessly makes your job difficult.
5+ quizzes, 3 Tests, 1 Final. NO DROPS. He's probably the best at teaching the subject of math but at the same time, he's VERY difficult. He rushes material alot, is harsh in criticism, and expects you to master everything in very a short amt. of time. Precalc will be golden to you in his class, study it THOROUGHLY WELL before you take Prof. Lu!!!
If you like learning conceptually, definitely take him. If you like having an answer correct, and not caring why, then don't. He was very conceptual and it definitely wasn't for me. I had to drop the class. He can also have a big ego.
Best professor i ever had. Great sense of humor and his lectures are very clear. Tests are hard but if you put on a little effort you will get an A. Great study guides. Hard and intense class but worth it. Lots of things to get out from him. He plays favorites? Yes he does. He likes smart students. but he values hard working ones. Be his favorite.
Great at teaching the concept, but makes tests extremely difficult and has some morally questionable grading practices. Tests are so difficult that most of the stuff isn't covered in the book OR by him in class. I know the material, but tests are so hard that it isn't reflected in my grade. You won't make above a C unless he likes you. Unethical.
Only take him if you are either Asian or a math geek. He tends to favor those people. Test are difficult/impossible. Gives a review sheet before each test and tells students test will be same but its completely different. You cant ask him anything silly in class otherwise he will make fun of you in front of everyone Avoid him if you can at all cost
He is a great professor. Please take him because he will prepare you for GA Tech level. He will teach the subject which you will remember forever. He will give a lot of bonus n partial credits. Even of u get a complete wrong ans he will give u 80% partial credit for the work u did n the concept. Take him!!
Awesome professor!! Will teach u math n prepare you for ga tech.. Take him n succeed.. Gives a lot of partial credits n bonus
Great professor!! Take him guys he will teach you real math and will make sure you understand the concept and get an A. He gives a lot of bonus and and partial credits. He will surely prepare you for GA Tech transfer. He is a blessing to GPC.
A great educator, makes the material easy to understand, keeps the classroom fun full of helpful funny mnemonics, hard class but Lu will leave you with a deeper understanding of "why" :)
The best professor ever. He's great at teaching the concept and willing to help you in his office hours. After him, you can go to GA tech and lough at the easiness of their problems. P.S. I recommend this professor \.
This Teacher can tech better then teachers at tech. Love the teacher but hate the attitude. His quiz are straight from the HW. You should do well on his test because its similar to his study guide. I had a A+ Avg going into his final. His Final is INSANELY difficult. He gave an option to take the test or take a 50. I took the 50 and made B in calc3
if you struggle at all with math dont take Lu. He has no sympathy for ppl who dont remember everything since pre-calc. Has office hours but not everyone is just a student, some are fulltime workers also and he treats you like a slacker if you cant make office hours. only gives you hints when solving problems. avoid taking if you can.
If you want to study and wants to know more about mathematics, YOU SHOULD TAKE HIM. He is the best teacher I ever known in my entire life.
Had him for all of my math classes. Best teacher I've ever had. If you come to and participate in lectures, do the homework, and don't struggle with math, it is not difficult to make an A. The finals are pretty killer, but it's not hard to go into it with 100%, which means you only need a C to retain an A for the class.
Best math teacher I've ever had. Everything is well explained. He will help you with whatever question you have. Lots of extra points opportunities throughout the semester. Not a lot of hm. He is funny and you will not fall asleep in his class. Do not take if you are lazy. You've been warned.
Great Prof. I understand math MUCH better with his explanations. BUT the tests are tough. Not sure how many people were able to get As here bc the final was much harder and longer than others tests. Half of the people left to take a 50 on it, and it was 30% of our grade. I hated his bonus point system because he picks on the same 5 people.
Lu was the best and most difficult professor I've ever had. He's very clear about what he expects, but A LOT of work is required (for most students) to do well on his tests. Put in effort and try to understand rather than just get answers, and you will do well. DO NOT TAKE IF YOU JUST WANT AN EASY GRADE. Take him if you want to understand calculus.
He is a great teacher. He will sometimes make you feel like an idiot for not knowing every in and out of pre-calc, but that is just him being a guy. He is an expensive tutor too. Overall, his class is great for a hard subject. He posts his notes online, and he doesn't give out too much homework, which is a great help. His exam review is spot on.
Is a hard class but at the end of the day he really cares that you get the concept. Be there. On time. Ready to participate. Really cool guy.
Overall, he is a good teacher and know his calculus pretty darn well. Test are hard, buts study guides are harder. Also, he does not allow to ask him question about the study guide. SO YEAH. If math is your major then take him, if not take another instructor. ITS NOT WORTH IT.
Professor Lu is by far the best teacher I've ever had. If math is imperative for your major take his class. The man is a genius and inspirational. With that said, he has no problems helping students out with silly/ stupid questions. Goes the extra mile to help. Knows his sh*t inside and out. Took him for Calc 1 & 2. Incredible Tutor as well!
Professor Lu is one of the best I have ever seen. His makes Cal 2 looks so easy. His Tests are no jokes though. Participation is a must for extra credit. Took his last semester with 35 students in his class but after the first test, 70% of class dropped. DO NOT take him if your average student.
Lu is great. Never be afraid to go to his office hours. He is a fair grader and if you do all your homework you will do fine.
He's an awesome professor and an even cooler person. Don't be afraid to go to office hours. Take him if you want to UNDERSTAND math, he explains everything wonderfully, just don't miss lecture. You will learn more than you thought possible, but you will struggle to pass. Power through and pass with a solid B.
one of the funniest professors out there, if you get use to him you'll even laugh at his super lame jokes. He is very helpful and patient, he wants you to not just learn math, but to KNOW it, never skip class, and always study, classes like cal isnt for your to just sit there and wait for an easy A, if you work hard enough, hes THE best professor
hardest class ever !!!
I've always hated university math until I met this Professor. He is like the prophet of the Math God: he completely understands the language and teaches in an inspirational, applicable way so it is RETAINED. He has a hilarious, nerdy sense of humor but yet he maintains a professional classroom setting. One of the best professors I've ever had.
When I looked on RMP for this teacher all his reviews were really high. People said he was hard, but I was confident in my math skills. I took this over the summer and was expectating an easy ride. IT WAS NOT. He knows his stuff but he is all about CONCEPT. Memorizing is not allowed AT ALL. If you major isn't math or science related, DO NOT TAKE LU
Awesome teacher. I'll be taking Professor Lu again for future math classes. A bit of a tough grader, but tons of extra credit, and awesome lectures. Never had a class I enjoyed going to as much as this one. If you put an effort in and show up to every class, it's hard to fail.
I came to GS as a transient student this summer expecting to knock out a few classes. Probably get a B, maybe even an A in Calc 3...I was WRONG. Lu is the type of professor who want's you to know WHY you're doing a problem. If you don't understand the concept, your grade will suffer. The only reason I made it out was because of the bonus point sys.
Took him for Cal II & III. Emphasizes concept, and teaches for your understanding, not your memorization. Encourages participation with a generous bonus system that you can ONLY take advantage of if you participate in class. Gives tough tests but teaches accordingly, and also gives comparable practice exams. Hands down, excellent professor.
He is what you call an ideal teacher. He knows math very well and tells you very well. the more you try hard the more he helps you. if you want to be good in math, take him and the college should give him a good salary raise.
Excellent
If you struggle in math do NOT take him. You will end up self-studying. He does not care to help you. He seems to know what he's doing but it doesn't mean everyone else does. I don't recommend him for a teacher unless you're good at math.
Work on the revision sets as soon as you get them. This is your key to an easy A. Otherwise, you will hate yourself after not doing well in the test and realizing that you couldve gotten literally 100% if you had practiced the revision set. An A in his class is as easy as practicing his set, and also following the steps and methods he gives. GL!!!
the best professor ever. like seriously the best
He is hilarious in the class but he is not accessible to everyone. He wants you to ask him a question but sometimes he does not answer clearly. He will roast you in the class sometimes if he gets change . And yes! Noting will be in the exam from whatever you do in the class. I did not find the study guide was helpful to do well LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT.
Professor Lu is the best math professor you will take. You're only graded by your exams and quizzes so it will be tough if you don't get the material. His exams are very tough but doable if you understand. If you genuinely find math interesting, he's definitely the guy. He actually explains why the formulas are the way they are.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPEAKING IN CLASS DON'T TAKE HIM. He's beyond RUDE to people who aren't his favorites aka the smart people. Loves embarrassing his students. Only tests and quizzes, there's no participation grade and he gets mad if no one has questions or answers??? Calculus isn't hard but he makes it and he makes you hate math.
He is so unprofessional!!!!! Will spend an entire class period on two examples b/c he doesn't just show how to solve a problem instead he'll ask the class which is extremely annoying. People who've given him a good rating probably got an A or like speaking in class. He'll go from making a joke to basically calling the class/someone stupid.
Only 10 minutes were enough to see I wasn't gonna stay in this class. Everyone learns differently and professors have different teaching styles, but this one does not teach at all. All he does is ask the class how to solve a problem. He also is somewhat arrogant and rude by dumbing down and students. Just horrible.
He does not teach at all, but instead will ask you how to solve the problem. I understand what his getting at when he does that, but he forgot that we're here to learn not to deal with his arrogant, rude, and judgmental attitude. a few minutes in this class was enough to see I did not need to be there. He also mocks students and feels good about it
he is the worst professor I ever had. he expects all of us to be smart like him otherwise he will mock you and make fun of you. he's very rude to the student his tests are so difficult, there's no study guide for the final exam. quiz every week. if you are good at math then you will have no problem. but you are not so good don' take him!!!!
Awful teacher with a toxic personality. He doesn't teach, he instead asks how to do it and belittles those who can't figure it out on the spot. I've never been in a class with a prof who so clearly hates his job and he takes it out on the students. His tests are nothing like the HW or the review sets!! Do not take any math with this professor!!
TAKE HIM IF YOU ARE TO LEARN MATHS.. Heavily participation but personally that really helps me. Show him that you actually care for the class by participating and get good grade in THE FIRST TEST, he wont pick on you. Participating will help you have extracredits on some tests, which boosts around 10 pts. Curves on test usually 10-20pts.
MAIN ADVICE: The best place to take his class is ONLINE. I saw many reviews about him being rude in his face-to-face classes BUT if you take him online as long as you COMPLETE the weekly DISCUSSIONS and HOMEWORK you will pass. He curves every exam based on the grades of everyone. The only way you fail is if you don't put in the work.
Calc 2 is a hard subject. Prof. Lu does a good job giving you the information. You will have to put in a lot of work to learn the subject on your own. Your Precalc and Calc 1 knowledge better be on point, because his tests are hard. There are only 3 tests, including the final, so not much room for error. DO NOT get behind, you won't ever catch up.
I took Prof. Lu online for Math 1113 (Precal) as a dual enrollment student for summer 2022. It's an easy A if you do the work. There's recurring assignments with set dates each week. His lectures are long but helpful and important for the way he grades your work. There's only a midterm and final and he updated grades three times during the course.
Took this class online and would like to say that his resources were generally pretty bad. The uploaded lectures were long and rambly. I had learn the class using the textbook and thus spent much more time then I had hoped. And the tests arent representative of the homework done so I'd say to do all the practice resources for your class.
Not enough characters to say all I want to say, but I'll keep it short. You want an easy A/B? Run to a different professor. You want to learn the right way and have a great foundation? Take Lu. Great lectures, very hard exams, lots of studying required -- it's all worth it. This is not an easy subject, but Professor Lu makes it understandable.
is this the same professor lu from dunwoody campus. this is qixin geng. your student from the past oh ok. just wondering how many albert lu there are.
Professor Lu runs a tough but rewarding class. The exams are challenging, but the lectures and textbook are helpful if you put in the work. Using unstuckstudy AI alongside other study tools made a big difference.
His lecture videos are nothing compared to what he expects on his tests. According to grades sheets, everyone was getting Cs, Ds and Fs. There are 9-10 written responses on each test and expects work to be shown exactly the way he shows on lectures. He grades very harshly and always responds with bad attitude when asking questions via email!
Not bad, a little condescending at times but all in all just a standard professor. A pretty standard breakdown of the course grading criteria, 2% for mock exam and syllabus quiz 10% for discussion 18% for webassign 20% exam 1 20% exam 2 30% final exam Note: final exam replaces the lower of the two exams.
it's too hard for me
I am still in progress of taking this course, but I have a good grade so far. The course itself isn't difficult if you put in the work. However, this professor is condescending and has zero leniency. His lectures (to me) are a little obnoxious to watch due to his teaching style. He does teach math well though, its just tough to be motivated.
Mr. Lu is an amazing teacher. I barely passed his Calc-3 class during the scamdemic. He really pissed me off at times, but looking back on it all, it was what I needed to inspire me to grow. His lectures are the best math explanations I've ever gotten in all my years of schooling. He really understands how to break these tough concepts down.
Not my type of professor, but he's passionate. I like math, tho prefer a different teaching style. His lectures are long (about 1hr 40 to 2 hrs) per section, (3-4 sections, per unit, per week). I prefer a course calendar bc I kinda work full-time but he doesn't have one, except for exam sates. No makeups but he replaces lowest exam with final exam.
Vids are concise, funny, and cover 90% of HW problems. Grade is 20% higher of two exams, 50% final replacing lower. Exams are FRQs, will give most to full credit for correct logic with wrong answer. Very patient and clear in tutoring. My grade's only low from not participating - as long as you give a bit of time and effort, you'll pass.
DO NOT TAKE IF YOU WANT AN A! Lectures and home works do not prepare you for the exams. You have only 3 exams and might lose 10 points on each only because you answer more than one question in one page or don't leave the first page blank. I'd recommend taking this course only to those who can easily dedicate 10+ hours every week.
