He was EXTREMELY easy. (Note to the 2 people who rated Mr. Lim, they were probably dumbasses since they were in precalc). In my class, he gave us a lot of "surveys" to take which counted towards homework points, which in turn raised your overall grade. He gave quizzes once a week and had group work.

Very good teacher. Always willing to help students outside class. Only gives 3 tests. He drops the lowest one. On top of that, you get to redo all three of them and add the extra points to your original score. The ?'s from Tests and Quizes usually come from the homework. And he grades on a curve.

He is overall a good teacher with clear expectations, if you study hard and do well on the quizzes it will be easy for you since the test is very similar to problems on tests and what he goes over in class.

Terrible. He doesnt use canvas, tests are extra hard, quizzes are difficult. Extremely harsh grader. You only know your grade when you get an exam back. I mean if you can fully understand his teachings and teach yourself statistics then take his class bc thats what youd be doing. Overall just do yourself and your GPA a favor and dont take it.

I read his reviews before I decided to take him. I should've listened to what the other students said. I had to dropped his class 3 days into starting of the quarter. I did not understand his lecture and it was frustrating. I had to go home and go on youtube to learn about the materials we talked about on that day. He made me hate Math more.

Tough grader. His lectures were difficult to understand because he wanted us to know the "WHY'S" but we were graded on the "HOW'S". Tests did not represent things we learned in class. He asks random students to answer questions that we haven't learned / covered yet, and humiliates you if you don't get them correct. This class gave me anxiety.

Fast paced when teaching new concepts, if you miss a day you will certainly fail the quiz. Test answers must be specific and clear to get credit and are based on lecture notes, not the book. HW is from the book and can be confusing because his lecture notes and methods differ. Prepare for trick questions. Difficult even for top students.
