worst professor ive ever had in my life. you cant understand anything she says
Very difficulty to understand. Did not feel that she taught in a clear fashion. Sometimes students would questions her math skills b/c she would figure it out wrong.
half of my class dropped out, very hard to understand and when i asked questions she would role her eyes and most of the time didn't even answer the question. not very nice person and not a good teacher. :(
The worst possible professor you can take at Vista. I could not understand what she would say very well half the time. She gives you tardies if you leave early or are late to class. Would highly recommend staying away from this professor at all costs.
Sloppy handwriting, strong accent and often copies notes wrong on the board forcing us to rework the problem. I'm failing miserably along with others in my class and I'm having to repeat the course :( you can't put your head down or swivel in your chair cause she'll yell at you so AVOID HER
Student who are commenting that Ms. Brooke Lee are LAZY students!! This professor is awesome! She is very helpful. There were no times that she ignored my question. She helped me a lot to understand the entire course. You have to listen and be attentive to absorb her. Her way of teaching is easy and awesome!!! Very considerate person! I love her!!
Ms. Lee is a very good teacher. If you are a lazy and stubborn student you will not get her as your teacher. But if you are dedicated and good student, you have to choose Ms. Lee. She is very good in her own style and make sure that you understand her course. NO CELLPHONES in the classroom, she doesn't want destruction and for me this is great!
Heavy accent. Notes on board inconsistent with quiz and exam problems. Doesn't allow formula sheets. She doesn't allow you to ask a question before she interupts which leads to her explaining the wrong thing. She skips chapters only to go back to them later when they aren't related to the current topic. Gets emotional fast and lasts all day.
Funny how only one student likes this instructor. And he Apparently loves her so much he had to write three comments. But the fact of the matter is, this instructor is generally not recommended, not because of her class' difficulty or because her students are lazy (arrogant accusation), but because she is flawed in how she teaches the material.
Great teacher. I loved this class. She take the class seriously, and it will only feel difficult if you do not make time to do homework, which is very simple and because it is covered in the class before. Taking notes in class will be very helpful.
Highly recommend professor. Her class is what you make it. If you go to her for help and work hard she will be there for you to succeed!
Tough professor. I study and read and take notes but she still does not make sense and lectures us about how its not her job to teach us. Im only passing because i go online for help. Half of the class is failing so pleas find another professor if you want to get a good grade.
doesn't give homework you must make up your own homework ,doesn't like to help ,and has a bad attitude toward helping , shes always defensive to her self if you want to talk to her she screams and don't allow you to finish do not recommend worst instructor I ever had.
Professor Lee is an excellent instructor. If you can memorize equations and the unit circle (no formula sheets are provided for tests) than it will be easy to pass with an A! Practice work is advised from the textbook, it has helped me a lot. She can be a good help but due to language barriers it is difficult to work with her sometimes.
NOT very helpful. Handwriting is sloppy always erases the board before you even write anything down. Always yells at you and doesn't help you when you ask for it. She gives hw everyday and doesn't except late work. She goes through 8 different sections in 1 class. Has her own textbook she made up ADN makes class more difficult& Reviews don't help
Profesor Lee is a nice lady but she is not a good professor. She has a heavy accent which makes it hard to understand. She is also not helpful and she is very defensive on any aspects of her teaching. You really cannot ask her to re-explain something because if you do not understand she blames it on you for not studying. Worst professor ever!
Professor Lee is an amazing professor; she loves to see her students do well. She makes you work hard for your grade. If you are not serious about academic success, save the money and take a professor who isn't either because Professor Lee expects you to be goal oriented and make something of yourself. Your effort and attitude determine your future
She has a problem with cell phones, cant have it on your desk at all and she makes you put your phone on her desk if you need to use the restroom, doesnt allow formula sheet study sheet for tests, heavy accent so hard to understand her
She is a GREAT professor, a lot of word problems (so be ready for that). STUDY ALOT before the test day, meet up with classmates because it's very helpful/ask her for help cause she is WILLING to help you. She is there for her students with any issues you have,she is funny and respected by her students. Diffidently get Stat with her.
She is a great teacher! Be prepared to work your tail off. The material is not easy but she helped me because i proved to her that I wanted to learn. Despite what some of you lame people think about her, she cares a great deal about her students. You must meet her half way and you'll learn from her. Unless you're a genius be prepared to work hard!
Hard class.
Easy, gives work but if you pay attention it's easy.
She is a good teacher, and sweet. She give pop quizzes with groups, but her test are crazy hard, studying doesn't even help either "got to know the material." She's hard to understand as well, no extra credit at all.
Professor Lee is a great STATS teacher to take. She condenses the material down from the textbook (meaning you don't use it). She gets straight to the point. She gives PLENTY of extra credit, but she does count tardies. Show up on time, work hard, and be respectful - an A is very possible with Prof Lee.
Erases the boards before you can even copy anything down. Teaches super super fast! I was in a 0100-1314 STEM class and she gives you two test only in 0100 and if you dont pass one with a 80 you get dropped before you can even get to 1314 college algebra. So basically you do your homework for nothing! I had a 90 in the clasa but got dropped.
I took her for STATS FLEX 1442. 4 test 1 dropped. A lot of quizzes but mostly group quizzes. Homework was easy if you paid attention in class and took notes (uses them for quizzes) your grade depends on your test. Her teaching doesnt make sense but she teaches you what matters dont not question her. Shut up, have great notes, and study. Statdisk
Ms. Lee had very little patience whenever asked for help. She was very defensive and would raise her voice. She also didnt grade homework which probably would have helped people pass her class. Overall she was just not a good professor.
Does not explain work good, if you show the work and make a little mistake she doesn't give credit just marks the answer wrong... failed the class retook it with a different professor and past with a "A"
She didn't really explain things very well. I'm not sure if it was her accent or something, but it just wasn't very good. She takes anything as attitude so please be careful of what you say.
Prof . Lee was a terrible 0100-1314 math teacher . Doesnt want to talk to you to help you understand questions you dont get . Her motto is You have to know the material if you need the steps dumbed down like me then she is NOT the person to take . I got dropped from the class after 1314 & she told me I wasnt smart enough to move on .
Accent made it difficult to understand at times & often fills board with writing. If you don't pass first portion then forget about college algebra. Lots of homework each night but not so bad. Quizzes every week but if you did homework then use that. Passed class easily but I knew material before hand. Still provides help if need be & hates phones.
I came from the remedial maths & didn't think I could pass 1314, but I did! Prof Lee can come off as tough but that's only bc she pushes you to your full potential. Some mixed tough w/ rude, but she's far from that. She is always willing to help her students, although not many made it, I would say bc they didn't really try! Prof Lee is AWESOME!
Was Very rude, Did not help when needed understanding of course. She did not care did i mention she was RUDE!!!! She gets mad if you ask for help. DO not take her unless you want to waste your time and money to only retake the class.
Professor Lee was an awesome teacher. She hates cell phones and kids who don't pay attention so... pay attention. She prepares you really well for tests and the homework is usually short and similar to the notes. If you take good notes and listen to her on test review days, there's no reason you shouldn't pass her tests.
I tried taking this cal 2 class after having to wait for my AP credit to pass through and while I admit I'm somewhat rusty with my derivatives for trig, she tore into everyone in the class. The main reasons why I'm dropping is due to her attitude towards questions and review. She commonly says "algebra, so easy a baby can do it" in response .
if you do not understand math easily do not take this professor she is very confusing and barely helps you understand during class and gets confused and messes up herself.
This professor was beyond rude to her entire class that I was apart of. She is not from the U.S she is from South Korea so it is hard to understand her half the time. She is so uptight about how being perfect like her is what it takes to pass her course. I would NOT recommend her to be taken!
Dr Lee is awesome. Very caring person. People who dont like her are probably because they dont try or study. She doesnt spoon feed you but she will take the time to help you if you need it. If youre in this class just expect to take lots of notes and ask questions Shes an awesome teacher and does what she can to help with your grades. ����
Dr. Lee is a great professor and a very caring person. She really desires for her students to do well, not just in her class, but in life as well. If you're going to invest in a college education, you should be prepared for homework and to attend class. Dr. Lee grades fairly and will help anyone who seeks out her help. I thoroughly enjoyed her.
one of the worst professor i have taken. She does not help when you ask. She doesn't explain answers. Do not take her.
If you need help, just ask for it. Don't skip class, it's math! She posts study guides & drops lowest exam grade. Print the chapters she posts & write your notes on them. She posts all instructions for statdisk. Quizzes aren't bad like others say, they were basic hw q's worked out in a group during class, & count same as hw. Awesome professor!!!
She was hard to understand with her accent, don't get me wrong I didn't mind it but when you would ask her a question and she couldn't really understand you she would sometimes get frustrated and not be professional about it. If you couldn't make it in for a test or even quizzes it would be an automatic zero. I wouldn't recommend taking her class.
I took her 16 week course for college algebra. She was not helpful and had POOR teaching methods!!! She told me many times I wasn't going to pass her class. The day of the final, she told me she knew I failed. I retook the course in the summer with another professor for 5 weeks. I passed with an A, 94%. DON'T TAKE HER. PICK ANOTHER PROFESSOR!
Dr. Lee is a very caring and kind hearted professor. She loves her job and it is her passion. Dr. Lee is very funny and loves a good joke. She doesn't over load you with lots of homework. And she is there when you honestly need it. Have a positive attitude and be respectful and she will be as well. If lookn for a teacher that cares get her.
I took her class as a 5-week this summer and I found this class hard because of her teaching style. she often bounced from one thing to another and wasn't very organized. she's tough grader and sometimes not even fair. She also has a terrible attitude. I wouldn't recommend taking this class unless you really really needed to!
she is very hard to understand and isnt willing to help , she gets annoyed if asked to repeat something and her grading style isnt fair, she is rude. You have to pay attention to everything. She does not offer any tutoring, besides the lab, but no one in the lab knows stats the way she wants us to know it. her teaching style isnt great.
Horrible, this was before I knew 'Rate My Professor' was a thing, she once gave me a 70 on a quiz because my procedure was "too long", even though I had the right answer. She calls herself a hard grader because she believes that grading us hard will motivate us to do better. My High School Calculus teacher was better with students. Do not take her.
Avoid at all cost. She is the worst
I took Professor Lee's remedial math 0410-0105 last spring and was prepared to study hard and put in the extra time to not only pass, but understand the material going into Business math. Not only was Professor Lee very hypercritical of every student, she was extremely rude and condescending to the point where we were afraid to ask questions. 0/0
I dont recommend taking this class its so hard
I took her for math 1414, she doesn't explain the rubrics. Terrible attitude and very unprofessional. She mentions she would drop grades, she doesn't. She'll spend half of the class time telling people to drop out instead of actually teaching and when she does, she makes a mistake and has to redo a single problem taking the whole class period.
doctor lee was my first difficult professor this semester. extra credit lab hours is really what helped me pass. her quizzes are okay, but the test can be a little difficult. she expects things a certain way and if it isn't, points are taken off. she can come off a bit rude, but she just wants her students to do the best they can.
I regret taking this class, please don't waste your time or money. She was very unprofessional and was constantly telling others to drop out instead of teaching. I have video proof of her telling a student that she is getting a zero for not having access to a computer. Even though there was a winter storm with no electricity etc. " Points off anyth
Very unprofessional, spends half of her time telling students to drop out or find a new major, goes through problems really fast, gets annoyed when people ask questions expecting you to already know. Her grading system is flawed. She's not understanding whatsoever to students wellbeing. Avoid this professor at all cost
I would not recommend taking this class. I dont know her as a person, but is a horrible teacher.
I am usually good at Math, however with her as my professor she anything but helpful. She goes through her lectures very quickly but not efficiently. I have a tutor to help me with something I don't understand and even he didn't get her teaching process. She rants about politics time to time, which is very unprofessional. Avoid her at all costs.
This is a true college math course. Be prepared before class and do the homework. I took her class for motivation. I learned ALL the concepts that she required. She does not require you to turn in homework, but it will be on the test. She is good for STEM majors. It's better to learn the basics and concepts now so that you don't struggle later.
Gives take-home quizzes (homework), extremely difficult and take hours to complete (13-14 in semester). Strict grading, leaves no room for error. Demands respect but is condescending towards students that ask questions. Attendance is a must no exceptions. Not consistent with what she says. Talks fast, with an accent, hard to understand.
Please do yourself a favor and don't take this professor. The class was easy, but my problem was how we were talked down to. She was always condescending and rude. Any time someone would ask a question she would always answer in a condescending way. Honestly, this class made me miserable. If you like being talked down to, take her.
Horrible profesor, dont waste your time. Trust
Probably one of the worst professors I have ever had. Super condescending and doesn't take criticism well. If you tell her she messed up or ask her to clarify, she gets really defensive and blames you. Do not take her classs!
If you contact her and explain your situation, she is very willing to work with you, however if you didn't do a problem her way, she took off points for it. Her lectures were very fast and hard to understand.
Only take her classes if you are good at math.
Very hard to understand and quick lessons that are difficult to follow. Even if you are good at math it is a difficult class.
Teaching style is really fast, so if you need step by step this is not your teacher.
She goes so fast, teaches one topic one day then expects you to be ready to test on it next class.Sometimes shes hard to understand and honestly everyone in the class slowly stopped showing up to class because of how hard it was to pass her class
She gets on you if you miss a day in her class and is very condescending no matter who you are. If you call out her mistakes, she either gets defensive or corrects herself. 50/50. If you ask her for help, she makes you feel as if you're not intelligent, so if you need tutoring or help, go to the math lab, not her.
Don't take her unless you want her to be condescending and rude. If you don't understand what she is teaching then she will go into a lecture about you not knowing how to "critical think". She goes too fast and does not explain the work. She's a tough grader so be careful! If you don't do it her way it is wrong so be careful! Avoid her if possible!
she is definitely a tough grader but if you get to know her she is very sweet and helpful one on one. She is very particular with her grading on quizes and tests but lenient with homework grading. If you don't understand, she is willing to help you understand.
Not only is she hard to understand she goes very fast in her lectures, one day you're learning one subject, and she gives go homework and a take-home quiz, next time you come back it will almost certainly be a different subject. She actually picked on me at the beginning of the school year and made me feel insecure.
Dr. Lee is a good teacher honestly. She is caring and is willing to help. She loves when people participate and ask her questions. I would just say to follow her rules and do the work the way she taught it because she doesn't want students to get confused (she prefers it that way).
Brooke Lee is very childish and very condescending. She expects to be respected when she can't even give any respect back in return. She's constantly degrading, especially when writing notes on your work and wants things done her way or no way, so if you want to fail, choose her.
her writing is not very legible and goes over lecture too fast
Her accent makes it hard to understand what she's saying. Talks down to people she clearly doesn't like. For the final exam, she put a question that was a BONUS question from a quiz in the first month of class. It wasn't even on the reference sheet. She takes points off if you don't answer the question EXACTLY as she wants it.
First day of class and she kicked me out of class!!!! She does have a really heavy accent, but she said this class didn't go with my major and for me to get out. When indeed that class was my refresher math class. She ended up kicking out half the class. I would NEVER take her again. She has the worst attitude.
I've never had a professor who was hard and honestly disrespectful to it's students. One day she could be caring and kind and the next day she would be candy and vindictive. I'm also never gonna forget how she lowered by the end of the year and told us the final is what's gonna matter if we want to raise our grade overall. I don't recommend her.
She assigns homework like math is our only class, I have missed out on other assignments because of how long it takes to do her homework.
Dr. Lee would assign one to two units of homework due Tuesdays, with quizzes on Thursdays. She is very "my way is the only correct way," and does not accept any deviations from her methods- even if correct. Additionally, she has a very heavy accent which can be hard to understand, especially since she speaks very fast and doesn't speak very loudly.
I would not recommend taking this class, her teaching methods are hard to understand, she erases the board quickly and if you answer a question wrong she calls you out on it and makes you feel bad. She is a tough grader! if you don't do it her way you will most likely fail her class. If you wanna fail math then take this class. I should've dropped
If you are STEM-focused, I recommend Professor Lee. She definitely helps you become solid in math. However, you have to take this class seriously. If you do not, you will not pass. With that said, Professor Lee does care and she wants all her students to succeed. That is why she is a bit more tough than most professors.
This professor is by far the worst I have experienced on this campus. The professor would get mad at the class because nobody understood her teaching style. She would move test dates around a lot and even change due dates at the last minute. More than 80% of my class did not pass her class. I would only recommend her if you want a low GPA.
Her class is either hit or miss. Though she is very strict, she does "force" students to pass by testing to see if they truly retain the knowledge. If you wish to take her class, I would recommend it if you want to learn how to do math without a graphing calculator. Other than that, do not take this class unless you are okay with dropping.
I recommend going to her office hours as much as possible. She is more than happy to help if you are also putting in the effort.The quizzes are the best reviews for the test. Professor Lee is caring and wants all her students to succeed. She does give a lot of homework but it is very helpful.
Assigns work like there is no Tommorow. Is constantly comparing your skills to peers. Presents your grade Extremely tough grader and marks points down for the smallest things when they don't matter.Hard to understand and moves Extremely fast. It's her way or your wrong even of your correct. Coughs infront of class without covering mouth. Very blunt
Hit or miss. She will weed out people who did not take 1314/1414. Tough grading. She lacks the ability to communicate professionally, often coming off as brash. Lectures are fast. Mocks past unnamed students/conversations. 4 tests total, worth 50%. Heavy accent. Compares constantly, displaying class grades/scores on board often.
I did not have a good experience with her. This professor always came in with an attitude problem, always making fun of her pasts students, and had an accent that was very hard to understand. I really disliked her teaching ways and not to mention her "Short Cuts", almost never worked where I almost failed a couple assignments. Please choose wisely.
Wouldn't take again.
If you want to cry, feel frustrated, or risk your GPA, take this class! I worked hard, took the third test, and failed miserably with a 30. The professor refused extra credit or a redo. The highest grade was an 82, and we had only 3 weeks to learn the material. If you need time to understand, avoid this class and professor!
Respectfully, under no circumstances would I take this professor again. The professor made the work unnecessarily hard for the content being gone over. Professor had little compassion for students. If you have to take this professor do all the quizzes given 20 times over and make sure to invest ALOT ALOT of time. 1/5 because I passed.
NEVER take a class with this professor EVER!
These reviews are a bit harsh Lee has high expectations for her students because she has done a lot herself. This is understandable n for me it gave me encouragement. She also has a strong accent which makes it hard to understand her, and she tends to move quick so if you are not keeping up you will be lost. She's tuff but cares that's why.
So, I was going to quit this class after the first day. She caught me trying to switch classes. She said in her very thick accent "if you stay, I will help you. It will be hard, if you study you will pass". I studied, then I didn't study. She will mess up; She is human! She came to the US and got her PHD. Put some RESPECT on her name. Thats DR. LEE
Dr lee went to school twice and got her Phd so. she will be tough on you, that should be expected. She is stern sometimes but that's her making sure you are paying attention and not doing something else or something wrong. Dr lee was very inspiring to me and although i thought i was doomed her class was not nearly as bad as these people say.
Maybe it's because I was not as good in math as other people in the class, but never will i ever take her again. Her thick accent makes it harder to understand the material, she doesn't further elaborate on the material, I get it she has a phd but at least be a good professor, if you struggle with math you'll might as well drop out.
Professor Lee is very strict about assignments being done on time and her lectures are very quick and then she expects the students to be on their game when it comes to exams. Something else she said about to some of her stduents that have full time jobs shes telling them that they cannot be in calculus class because theres a lot of time needed.
