Wow. Ms Lam is amazing. This is my third time taking calculus and with the previous professors I had before twice didnt lecture clearly. From the previous attempts I dropped calculus twice and this time Im doing great. She is crystal clear on lectures. Explains the problems very clearly. Extra credit opportunities along with exams.

I took prof. Lam for an intersession Trig class. She is very thoughtful and engaging. She has a clever sense of humor and makes her lectures interesting. She recognizes hard work and tries her best to help you if she sees that you're trying.

I took her for precalc, you will be graded by 5 quizzes, 5 exams, a final, hw, and SI hours. Her lectures are clear depending on the topic, easy to pass her class but if you want that A you have to devote your life to her class. Overall she is a good prof but I do not appreciate her dry humor and sometimes she gives attitude when u ask a question.

I didn't even do well in this class but I am still writing a good review. That's how good she is. I like the way she teaches, no sidetracking. Just straight math. She can tell little jokes that will pass you by if you're not paying attention. Gives good test prep. Shortish tests. Not too easy though.

She's obviously an experienced teacher. She works hard to get work back to you in a timely manner, always open to questions. Does what she can to get students participating and works hard along side you working hard. Very good at what she does, I'd recommend her to anyone who genuinely wants to learn. Want an easy A?

Professor Lam is amazing at explaining math her online lectures videos are short & easy to understand. If youre not great with math REVIEW algebra before taking trig/geo it will show up. She offers plenty of extra credit for summer online class. You must study & practice a lot in order to pass. She puts in the grades which is determined by YOU.

Professor Lam is amazing and very thorough! She makes you participate and has pre-recorded lecture videos to review for help. There are 6 exams plus a cumulative final. Between those are small quizzes for each section in the covered chapters, a weekly discussion, and a homework assignment covering all sections discussed before an exam.

Professor Lam is one of my favorite professor. I took Trig in winter with her and I passed with A+. You have to pay attention in the lecture. If you do not understand anything you have to ask questions right the way. She gives extra credit and study guide before the test. I really like her a lot. I'm going to take calculus1 and calculus with her.

Professor Lam is a great professor. I took Math261/calculus1 with her in summer semester and passed with a A+. I think as long as you follow her instructions and you will eventually get pass this class. She gives exam study guide early every exam and encourages student participated with extra credit in the class. No doubt, you should take with her.

This is my second class with prof Lam. Although she's a very sweet person, she isn't the best I explaining heavy topics in Calculus 2. I usually have to study hard from other resources to understand those topics. There is overwhelming amount of homework and lastly, she is a pretty tough grader. You will loose many points for even minor mistake.

She is a nice lady but she can not make it clear on the lecture. No recording on the zoom class. The video lecture she provided is needless. She is just reading, exactly reading what the pdf wrote. The professor should teach more not read a lot.

Professor Lam is an amazing professor. I took her for Math 262 and found her to be tough but fair. Her exams get a little difficult towards the end, but if you study and do all the homework you should have no trouble passing this class. 3 Exams and 1 final. The only thing I didn't like was that she gave no study guides. Gives group problems weekly.

While generous, I have to admit her instruction was quite poor. Simply read off some notes from the textbook and overall was very hard to follow (taken online). Not difficult, just practice the hardest problems from the textbook, and you shouldn't be surprised about anything you see on a exam. Also offers some small but significant extra credit.

Due to test weighted grades (3 tests 50% & final 25%), it's really hard to maintain a high grade. But the best part, she rounded a lot of student's grades to those who were close to the next grade. The tests are tedious, but she is a fair grader. It's not an easy A, but what you get out of the class is really what you put in. Good luck!

I took Professor Lam for Calc 2 and she was nothing short of amazing. I have always struggled in math so going into 262 I was anxious, but she put my mind at ease with how her course was set up. 4 exams and a final, attendance is a must because it can potentially make a letter grade difference. If you have an opportunity to take her, do it!

Professor Lam genuinely cares about her students and what she teaches. She grades exams based off of your understanding of the material rather than seriously punishing a simple mistake. Great amount of extra credit that comes with participation as well. One of the greatest Professors that I have had. Obviously you have to put in effort as well.

She's sweet and a nice person, but once we got into the more dense topics of Calculus 2 she totally became a mess. Just takes like 10 minutes reading a slide from the book to "explain" the concepts and the rest of the class is just doing exercises or wasting time on other stuff. She relies on the tutor a lot (who bailed on us) to lighten her load.

Professor Lam is very nice & clearly loves math. Unfortunately, her lectures are convoluted and difficult to understand. If not for YouTube videos provided for every concept (taught by fantastic teachers…Khan academy, etc), I'm not sure I would have passed. After her lectures, I watched YouTube videos to understand her lectures. Somewhat painful.

Professor Lam teaches statistics through online lectures and assigns light homework and you're able to submit late assignments a week later without penalty. You can go to her zoom office hours or schedule an appointment with her. You'll easily get a B or A. For the tests she has practice tests available too. She's great.

Prof. Lam is what I look for in a math class: a clear overview of tests and hw, understandable teaching, and opportunities to correct your grade. You know what to expect, and all you need to do is follow up with the material. Gives extra credit points for exams and final with tutoring and participation.
