GO TO CLASS. If you skip, go over the lecture notes he posts. In comparison to other math profs at OU, Professor Lee actually writes the math out instead of throwing it at you on slides. He answers emails quick and his office hours are helpful. Go to class, do the homework and worksheets, get the help he readily provides, and you'll be fine.

Dr. Lee is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Although math generally bores me, he finds ways to connect concepts and make the curriculum interesting. Attendance is not required but I would highly recommend attending as much as possible (learned from experience).

Lee is an okay professor. His lectures are sometimes unclear however the practice tests on canvas are the only thing that are a life safer. He also doesnt offer notes but instead just does example problems on the board which kind of sucks.

Lee is a great professor. The class is difficult, but he explains the concepts pretty well. He is helpful, and he responds to his emails right away. The practice exams are very helpful because they are similar to the real ones. Attendance is not mandatory, but I would highly recommend going.

His notes can be confusing at times, but he is a pretty good professor. Homework is optional since it is just for your own practice and grades are based only on tests and quizzes. We took about 12 quizzes total and 4 of our lowest grades got dropped so that helped my grade tremendously. You also get partial credit on questions which also helped.

Your grade is based on quizzes and tests. He is a tough grader, with no clear feedback, condescending in-office hours, and the least flexible professor I have ever had. His notes are unclear and do not use workbooks or any structure like the other 1743 classes. No opportunities for extra credit or to raise your grade. Just don't do it.

Best math professor I have ever taken. This class is not easy, however Professor Lee makes the class seem like a breeze. Lecture notes were extremely helpful and he makes it very clear the types of questions you will have on exams and quizzes. He posts lecture notes onto canvas after every class, so even if you miss class you will not be behind.

A great professor, like so good I'm convinced anyone who didn't like him didn't study or attend lectures. Go to lectures, take notes on the problems step by step. He tells u exactly what's going to be on the exams, and all u have to do is recreate the same problems he did in class. ALSO DO THE TEXTBOOK PROBLEMS HE GIVES

Mr.Lee is a sporadic teacher and lacks the ability to explain what he is lecturing on in detail. He is a really nice guy and kind teacher, but in terms of lecturing he is overall not great at it. I would just recommend taking the other prof for 1743.

He teaches exactly what you need to know so GO TO CLASS. Overall, he gives as much credit as he can for class. Recommend working on hw out of class (hw is not a grade) with other students. He knows exactly what to teach and tells you what you need to know. his biggest con is that he doesn't review material other than the exam day.

Mr. Lee was a great professor that truly cared about his lectures and how well students understood his material. Although the class is only weighted on tests and quizzes so make sure you study the material well. I would not recommend this class if you aren't willing to attend most days because sitting in class is extremely helpful.

I would highly recommend attending lectures as well as taking good notes. The course grade is heavily dependent on quizzes and exams, so it's best to practice and familiarize yourself with each unit using practice questions. He is also very accommodating if you had to take an extended absence in addition to providing ample resources on each unit.

I LOVED LEE. He works through problems completely and always scans his notes from lecture. He takes questions whenever but on review days he only works on problems we need. Only thing in grade book was quizzes and tests but lowest 3 quizzes are dropped. Practice tests are exact types of problems so use those to prepare.

The BEST math professor I have so far. Professor Lee makes math understandable, easy to learn, and he's very understanding. I know this site is for review, but I just wanted to say that I have talked to him in explaining why I missed his class for 2 weeks due to a cold, he understood and said that it is okay, as long as your here, its good. 10/10.

Dr. Lee had to leave mid semester but from the experience I had with him he was really good. He made sure to make things simple and to give us the easiest way of learning the concept. He made the quizzes open book and online and the exams are structured exactly like the practice exams on campus. Definitely take him for this course!

The class is actually so hard. Attendance is worth 4% of your grade but trust me GO. TO. CLASS. If you skip ONE day you feel so behind because he covers a lot of material very fast. He drops your 2 lowest quiz scores and the final replaces your lowest test. It's possible to get an A/B but you have to lock in all semester. He's really nice otherwise

I cannot say how much I love this professor. If you want a basic math professor who will explain stuff perfectly to you, Dr. Lee is your guy. His lectures were very straightforward, and he was honestly pretty funny at some points. Exams are easy, and he is very helpful when it comes to exam prep. Would literally take his class again if I could.

Class lectures are unorganized, and he expects you to have already an understanding of what he's teaching. Expect to lose many points on the exam for incorrect units throughout the question as a whole. Mandatory attendance and practice exam questions offered to use offer little to no help on the exams.

Prof. Lee was by far the best mathematics professor I have ever had. If you get anything less than an A it's your fault. His lectures were perfectly paced and were all published on canvas. If anyone gives him anything less than a 5, they were doing something wrong.
