I like her lecture. She explained everything clearly.

The best math professor/instructor I've had, she is very articulate and cares about students' learning. She's also very friendly and easy-going. HW is tough and tests are fair (averages were around 78).

Very good teacher, but you need to go to class. Homework is significant and very tough but she is willing to help walk you through it in office hours. Took her for Calc 2 and 3

Very nice prof. Take her for calc 2 and 3, if possible hope to take her for future courses.

Fanny is a decent professor but you really have to put into the effort outside the class. Her lectures are often filled with a lot of class so take your time to digest everything after class with other online resources. She is super approachable during office hours and it is super helpful. Finally, she models her test based on her homework.

Love her! Her posted slides are extremely helpful. She takes you through the process. Provides enough extra practice if you are interested in practicing more than just homework. TAs are amazing! Exams are not that easy though. Overall, I would definitely recommend her.

Her homework is beyond difficult. Her exams are much easier than the homework. She is funny and kind and compassionate. Moves quickly, but I believe it's the course not just her method of teaching. A lot of material to cover!

Fanny Shum is the best math teacher I have ever had. She made Linear Algebra very doable and even pretty interesting! Homeworks every week took a few hours and Tests were doable, with averages in the high 80s. Theres a quiz every day. Her lecture notes are very explicit and she is great at explaining things and answering questions.

Great teacher. Logic is clear and explains well. Solve anyone's question in the course or during the office hour. Very approachable and helpful.

She is a good lecturer and instructor, she is very clear in her explanations and expectations. Almost everyone does well in her class. (If you wish for a slower paced Prof, I would not recommend her.) The assignments and tests are doable. Would recommend.

It's a hard course but you will learn a lot, especially if you have never done proofs before. Homeworks and quizzes are difficult. Exams are by no means easy but reasonable. She definitely pushes you to learn.

She is really well-organized and always willing to answer questions. You can challenge her during classes, and she will solve your problem in a polite way. The only negative comment I can make is that there were plenty of Webassign homework but I think it is prevalent for this series of courses.

Fanny is probably one of the best Math professors there is. While the course is hard, she does a really good job in covering the material. I never studied Calc before this but she made it very easy. She is open to answer any questions and is very organised in her lectures and explanation. Take her class if you have the option!

Great math Professor. Very clear and organized lecture. All the lecture slides, homework and quizzes with solutions are available online, which makes it easy to review for exam. Homework is sometimes a bit hard, but is very beneficial and help a lot with the exam. Very responsible professor who makes you learn and help you success.

Fanny is definitely the best professor for math classes. She has well-developed slides and clear grading criteria. She knows how to teach and have a clear method to solve problems.

Fanny is the best Math Professor I have had. She is a really great professor and is super knowledgeable. Never before have I had a professor so enthusiastic about math, and it really helps make the class more engaging. She is super caring, and makes herself extremely available for help before exams.

Very organized, but difficult

Math is math so lectures are kind of dry, pretty standard. But class is really organized w a lot of extra practices to help understand the material better- weekly Webassign online homework, quizzes, worksheets on each topic, homework every couple of weeks. Super accessible for help (there's a class Campuswire) and her office door is always open

Honestly. She is soooooo good at explaining and teaching. However, the homework's and the lectures are a level 3/10 difficulty and the exams are a 15/10 difficulty. They will be like nothing you have ever seen EVEER in lectures or in homework's. They are incredibly difficult and even if you do all the homework and attend lectures-not enough.

Best MFE 1 Teacher! Makes class easy by offering a lot of resources to make you succeed. Just practice a lot!

Super caring, good lecturer, really cares bout your understanding. Hard class but Fanny is the best prof to teach it.

I had her for MFE 1 and I was complacent because I had already taken Calc and got a B+ when I could have probably gotten an A if I had taken it seriously. Not her fault, my fault. She's a solid professor but there is a lot of homework and the exams are no joke. She didn't curve anything. Go to class and study. Don't count on curve.

Professor Shum is the best professor I've had at NYU so far. She teaches very well, conveying material clearly and precisely. Her notes are a great resource to study. She is very smart and knows the material thoroughly, never stumped by any question. You can tell she puts in her best for the class, and is always very helpful during office hours.

As someone already said, math is math. If you don't love it it'll be dry no matter the professor. That said though, Prof. Shum is quite incredible. She clearly cares about her students doing well. Her teaching style makes the material easy to digest. But you'll have to work hard if you want an A on the midterm/final. I'm taking her again next sem!

Definitely take her. She's clear on everything, from her lecture notes to her answers to questions. Makes you work for an A, but definitely doable if you attend every class, work hard in class, and revise often&before exams.

One of the best professors. Clear explanations, cares about students, great with technology, and fair grading criteria. You will have to work for a good grade, but that's to be expected. She is a lenient and fair grader. Grade is distributed amongst short weekly quizzes, weekly Webassign HW, one longer weekly written HW, 2 midterms, and a final.

Probably the best professor for MFE2. Took this course during the summer and it was a great experience. Prof. Shum really explains each concept clearly. I'm not good at math and the summer session is intensive, but she makes me feel comfortable to ask questions during the class. She's willing to help students truly improve.

One of the best Math professors at NYU. Homework and tests are not easy, while the lecture is very clear. So if you really want to learn Math, take her class.

A literal masterclass in how to lecture a math course. The work may seem to be too much sometimes, but all the practise really does pay off. Take her!

Workload tends to be average as far as math classes go, specifically the MFE sequence. Tests are graded out of 34 points, so each MCQ was worth 6%, kinda sucked. Still teaches very thoroughly and gives good practice examples to acquaint you with the content taught, a very nice person.

Lots of homework and quizzes, but she is a fair grader and grades are very negotiable.

She's a very good teacher- all her explanations are very clear and to the point. She also includes a lot of background material around certain topics so you really understand where it's coming from. However, the amount of work you have to do is crazy. Don't fall behind on the homeworks/material and you'll be fine

She is a kind person and a good teacher. However, the workload is EXCESSIVE and burdensome. Ive never taken a class with 4 exams, 13 quizzes, 16 webassigns, 8 written homeworks (theyre hard!!) and mandatory forum participation. If you dont mind a lot of work, youll like her because again, she is good and kind. But there is just too much work.

Prof. Shum gives clear explanations to the concepts and gives good and understandable examples to help students. I love her so much!! Although the homework is heavy, but the grade is decent and you will receive good results if you get prepared! Take her class!

Prof. Shum's lectures are very clear and straightforward, the workload is definitely more than some other classes, but I would say it's a fair amount given that it's an MFE class. If you ask questions, she'll answer immediately and with great details. Participation does matter tho, and make sure to watch the prelectures; those really help a lot

Prof. Shum is excellent. She delivers the course very clearly, gives many examples, and explains the theorems thoroughly. 3 midterms. Overall it's quite easy get get an A. Take her!

Prof Shum makes every concept clear and delivers course materials thoroughly. However, a lot of efforts had to be put in to get a good grade. Take her if you want to learn deep. I personally just find her exams very stressful. But she is good teacher and very nice for sure

I personally prefer self-study most of the time but I went to every of her class this semester because she explains everything clearer than the textbook. Also, she holds extra office hours to prepare us for the exams. Emails sent to her are replied quickly. Take her class if you really want to learn, otherwise it'd be real tough.

The material for MFE2 is quite dense and can be difficult at times but Fanny managed to explain everything extremely clearly every lecture. It is a bit homework heavy but in my opinion that helped me prepare for the exam as questions were similar to what we'd done in class and at home. TAKE HER SHE'S A GEM.

I took her MFE1 and MFE2. Very organized person. Many concepts in lecture but she makes complicated stuff easy to understand. Graded by many things, but they're easy and clear: 3 midterms, 1 final, weekly quizzes, WebAssign, problem sets, PreLectures, & participation; fewer things if in-person. Only puts things she taught on tests so it's doable.

Prof. Shum is a solid choice; she explains concepts very well and genuinely cares for students to perform well. The written hw's are complicated and time-consuming, but still manageable. Exams are a main problem especially MC questions, (roughly 8 MCQs are 40% of that exam grade)-- hence missing few, can mess up your grade big time.

One of the best CAS math professors out of the few competent ones. Very Clear grading and questions for HW, Quiz, and Exams. If you make it out of the waitlist, you're super lucky.

Prof. Shum is very knowledgeable and wants her students to do well. For MFE 2: midterm exams are easy and 30% of your grade (8 MC and 2-3 FR). Homeworks (15% of grade) are not very hard as long as you pay attention in class. GO TO RECITATION bc there are weekly quizzes. Prof is also very accessible via email/campuswire/office hours. Easy A for me.

Prof. Shum is good at explaining difficult concepts. Problem sets can be long and challenging, but they are good practice. Tests are not too hard, as the questions are similar to those you have seen before.

Pretty understanding with COVID, defining a tough class overall but do the hw, have friends in the class and youll be okay

She is one of the most organized professors in the department. She is very to the point yet caring. You just need to communicate with her, and she will give you the most helpful/practical advice. I did take her during summer, so everything was faster, but she really tried hard so that all students are on the same page.

The most well organized math lecture youll take. Her lectures are seriously amazing. Shes tough on grading but fair and she scales and it actually makes you learn

She gives explanation in a clear way and her lectures are well-organized. Homework & tests are really easy and straightforward. Review class notes and hws / recis before tests and you'll be fine. The grading is reasonable. Prelecs are pretty useful for those who prefer independent study. Probably I'll never have such a relaxing math class.

Had her for MFE 2. Easy class, with simple weekly quizzes, weekly homeworks that arent too demanding, and 3 pretty easy exams. Prof is nice, helpful, and organized. Cool, chill class.

She is an AMAZING professor! I really loved her style of teaching. Considering it is calc 2, she explains topics pretty clearly and you do a lot of practice to memorize each unit. She is also very understanding and caring. Definitely recommend her!

Love Fanny, she is really helpful and a great professor. Be prepared for a lot of hws and tests, and exams are hard. But she is eager to help. Also, be sure to engage in he classes. Overall, would definitely take another class with her.

Took Shum for Calc I: Amazing and straightforward lecturer, open to answering questions at any point during class. Clear grading criteria that's available on the syllabus from day 1. Very test heavy class (70% of grade is midterms/final), you know exactly how many homework/quiz grades are dropped, a decent curve at the end of the course.

All the tests, assignments, etc. are the same for all discrete classes so pick based on teaching style. It is assumed you read the textbook chapters before class so if you don't, the material might be difficult. She has good slides, goes through all the material, uploads everything, records lectures, and was helpful/nice during office hours.

Fanny is pretty good. She structures the class so you watch prelectures before the actual lecture. This makes the class more casual and is super helpful. Her tests are't bad and homework isn't bad either. MFE 2 is interesting and she's the best prof for this course!

best prof ever! easy A and fun class to follow

best prof! I recommend you take her for discrete math. jeoldae deudji ma. first sihum? anggan. but final exam? *sibal* ppom micchodai. geundae sun numnen bubun is: gyosu malhaesso. curve yes. but? today na seongjeok baddasseo. huh? curve upseosso. jjogatteun suob.

The problem sets and polished proofs are very difficult at first but I feel like Shum did a great job at communicating the material. I struggled throughout but I managed to land a B- in the end. This class def helps you understand the reasoning behind math a lot better.

She uses ed discussion in which you could solve 90% of problems on that platform. There's even extra office hours for the exams. However, our final exam is insane as you know all the concepts but can still fail a free respons question if you made a mistake at the beginning. Exam is time stressed even 60% questions like sample exams.

Had Prof. Shum for both Calc 1 and 2, would definitely recommend taking her class. Good lecturer, very accessible and helpful in office hours. Fair curve at the end of the semester, really takes into account how much effort you're putting in so being engaged and showing up to office hours is beneficial. Enjoyed Calc 2 more than I expected.

Her worksheets, review sheets and pre-lecture videos are very helpful and clear. Also, the tests are important but not hard. Take her class if you want to learn solidly.

The grading is strict, but obviously because she really cares about her students. The tests are a bit hard, but she has a reasonable curve. You can really learn a lot by following her.

Professor Shum is a professor that teaches well and is accessible during offie hours. However, there's a lot of workload per week with pre lecture videos and quizzes, weekly quizzes, written homework, and online homework from webassign. Her tests are pretty hard, especially the multiple choice questions. She's willing to offer help if you seek it.

The class is organized well. There is a lot of work to do, but it really helps with understanding the topic. Make sure to go to her classes and office hours because she does take that into account. I had a B and ended up with an A-.

The class is organized really well, with pre-lecture videos before the lectures to get a better understanding. There is a lot of homework to do, but it really helps. Make sure to go to all her classes and participate as well as going to her office hours, because she does take that into account. I had a B and ended with an A-.

One of the best professors I've had - gives you every resource you need to succeed (recorded lectures, pre-lectures, practice exams, etc.) Offers office hours at least twice a week! Lots of work (pre-lecture, weekly quiz, written hw, and webassign), but I've taken classes with her twice now and taking again in the spring. Curved 4-5% at least.

Great Professor! She is caring, and her lectures are useful and comprehensive. However, we need to watch recorded pre-lectures and complete pre-lecture quizzes. In return, we can learn new material more effectively and end the lecture one hour earlier. Her curve is great. If you want to have a great learning experience, choose her!

Gives a ton of homework but it prepares you well and forces you to understand the material. Lectures are good and she is happy to answer questions in office hours. Good curve at the end of the semester. Organized and is good about staying on track with all the curriculum. Do all the work and it will help you a ton for the exams.

An experienced professor who teaches lectures very clearly and is super nice. Enough time for Q&A after each class. The exams are moderately difficult but fine. She determines your final grade based on your overall performance rather than just one exam and tries to give you the best grade possible.

Prof Shum's class is challenging, but worth the effort. Her grading is strict, but the material is engaging. I found unstuckstudy and the free textbook helpful for study prep. Overall, a rewarding experience.

she's a great teacher and provides so much organized material to help u succeed in calc 2. requires a lot from u on a weekly basis, but is kinda generous in how many quizzes, hws, etc. she will drop. not an easy teacher, but a very fair, very good one. not super flexible, but understanding. u will always know what to expect

She gives you everything you need to succeed, there is no reason to compain. She is the most available teacher I've had at nyu, always answering questions and has long office hours that probably boosted my grade a whole letter. Exams are very fair and she explains clearly. You actually have to work in this class though.

Good professor, but be wary of the heavy workload. She gives 6 assignments a week so you will almost always be busy with this class. Tests are not curved individually, but there is a generous shift of ~5% on final grade if you improve over time and show up (lectures, office hours.) Overall a great professor, but you have to stay on top of work.

She gives lots of work but as long as you stay on top everything will be fine. Complete web assigns directly after the lecture. This is easier because she lets everyone leave early after finishing the lecture. Study before each quiz, and try to maximize that grade. For the final, focus on previous topics just as much as the new topics.

Prof. Shum is a great professor. She's always available after class for questions and she explains concepts very clearly. People say that she's a tough grader but I haven't really seen that. Every calc 2 class gets the same amt. of homework, and they're very effective for testing your understanding. Exams are similar to HW. 10/10 recommend!!! :D

Tough exams but good at explaining. Very accessible at Office Hours. She gives good curve based on individual improvement.

Good curve. Good lecture. Good office hour. I am bad at math.

Very structured lectures which was really nice although she does tend to move faster compared to the other professors. Still it is not a problem though and I enjoyed her style of teaching. Textbook says is required but didn't need to read it as the lectures were better for understanding content. Curve at the end based on individual performance.

Pretty good, though it felt like she slightly rushed the last half of the semester, which is where all the hard topics are. Overall, I would take her class again.
