He explains concepts and gives examples in very layman's terms, but his tests are always on more complicated stuff. the "give and example" button on the online homework explained it better.

he puts problems on the exam that he never goes over or on the review sheet. What's the point in a review sheet if 20% of the problems aren't on it? I would advise anyone that is not extremely strong at math to find another instructor. Skips a lot of steps in examples and only gives super basic examples. Average in the class was a 70% not good

Took this class as a nursing program pre-req. I was a little worried about taking statistics again as I had taken it in the past and failed. Taking it online was much easier. you work on lessons on your time just need to be turned in Monday at 11:59 pm. professor was easy to reach and answer questions when help was needed.

He is a good teacher and lectures well, but if you want a good grade every in class counts. You ask for help he will help but if you need to email him, he will not answer. Doesn't really care about anything that happens outside, could get sick and still need to turn in everything, and will not curve or give you a chance to turn in stuff. ok teacher

Mainly just a self-taught course with a couple "projects" and tests. When it comes to receiving your grade on the projects, it takes a few weeks for him to grade it.

Professor Lee is great! He is always ready to help through email and during his office hours. This online class consisted of 2 quizzes and homework assignments every week and one final exam for the week of school. Lee is very understanding and patient. I do recommend studying, asking questions, and keeping up with the assignments, it all piles up.

As long as you do the work, you will be fine. Make sure to give yourself time to study because the quiz comes right after each section. Attendance is not mandatory, but like any other class, make sure you do the work. If any extra credit is offered, make sure to DO THEM. He is the best teacher I had so far!

I've never been good at math, but for me to enjoy this math class although I'd struggle says a lot. This professor goes really in-depth with explaining questions in a really understandable way and I'd say that it was fairly easy to get access to help after class if I didn't understand a topic or through email! I would take him definitely again!!!

This class was well-paced and taught well. Myopenmath is used to do homework, and most problems have a video that can be viewed to help. Make sure to keep up with your work since assignments are due every Monday and Thursday and each section has a quiz. There are two large projects due toward the end, and the final is in person. Extra credit also.

Highly recommend if you struggle with Math. Professor Lee is an amazing teacher- helped me believe in myself and overcome my fear of math. Quizzes are given at the beginning of every class but students are allowed to choose a partner to work with on the quizzes! Extra credit options are available so take advantage when its offered.

9 objectives just lecture and practice problems can work on until you get 100% which was nice because it prepares you for the exams. 3 exams total which is similar to hw only worded differently, it helped me to have examples from the hw since there's different formulas. Exams ok but graded by comp sometimes wrong if you don't round or round on occ.

Class isn't hard but if you don't do great on the exam, forget it. I had a 95% the whole semester and I'm not the best with exams so I failed the final exam (The final exam is only 14 questions). It didn't matter to him that I did great on everything else, the final exam only matters. The final exam grade will determine if you fail or pass.

Lee was a good teacher but how his assignments and tests were waited was a bit frustrating. The 3 chapter tests are worth 45% of your grade, final 10%, homework 10%, projects 10%, chapter quizzes at the beginning of every class worth 10% as well. I would study hard for the tests and make sure you buy a calc. overall good teacher.

Very good teacher, posts notes for every lesson, there are 1-2 homeworks per lesson plus a 5-10 question quiz. Quizzes are long tho and each question has 3-4 parts. Quizzes have to be done on paper and submitted through canvas. 4 Big projects, no test. Final is inperson at the end of semester. Overall pretty easy, math is black and white. thumbs up

Professor Lee was a great professor to have for my first college math class. I was super worried about not being able to pass math online, but he made it so easy to understand and learn. The lecture notes were super helpful and everything was extremely straightforward. He was super nice when I went to take my final. CHOOSE HIM!!! I'm happy I did.

Professor Lee was overall great at teaching. He'll stop to answer questions if you have them. There are quizzes every morning in class, and a homework assignment after every lesson. Three exams that add up to 45% of your grade and a final that's worth 25%. He's a pretty tough grader, but if you study and complete the homework, it's easy.

For an online math class, I was worried, but Professor Lee was straight forward and his study guides really help! The book is straight forward and correlate to each lesson of the week. Wasn't HW heavy and the final is not overwhelming. Ask questions if you're not sure and you'll be fine! Instruction videos were helpful too. Would recommend!
