She is the best teacher ever! Very talented, knows what she is teaching and very good at explaining problems. There is NO online HW, she drops the lowest score out of 3 tests. Everyone in the class loved her. Take her for 115!
Take this professor if you want to understand math and are afraid of math. I hate math, however she helped me step by step. I helped myself by studying and i passed the class. She does have an accent but you can clearly understand her, she's funny and enjoys teaching. Thanks Professor Lam!! Now I'm on to conquer math 125. Wish she taught that!!!!
very helpful and easy to understand. gives many examples and makes sure you understand the problems
After having dealt with a nightmare older teacher who didn't want to be there. I feel I really lucked out with her! I ended up with a C but only because I just got to nervous on the final. She is a great teacher to learn any Math. Plus, she is a total hottie!
She's the best! She's so nice and helpful and really cares about her students. Her tests aren't too difficult, but be sure to study. If you fail this class, it's a reflection on you and not on her because she's an awesome professor. Highly recommend!
Best Math teacher ever!
She is the best math teacher i've ever had. She is so nice and extremely helpful. I searched for a teacher that I can understand and I finally found her. I highly recommend her class! She makes math bearable!
Great at what she does. Explains math in a simple way that everyone can understand. Very patient and helpful. (I took partial online, but mostly in class)
Great teacher. Very clear. I finally passed this class with her. She gives partial credit and tests always on what she have thought you. Highly recommend.
Lets just say I always hated math and Lam made it much more tolerable and embarrassingly fun (sometimes).
Best Professor Ever. She is very clear and helpful. I had to drop the class because of personal reasons but trust me when I say this she is the BEST
She really has a passion for what she does. I've learned to enjoy math because of her. I have never really understood when others would say that, but after taking her class I really get an understanding on how a teacher can really shape your understanding of a subject you hate. LOVE LOVE LOVE her way of teaching, she makes it so fun and enjoyable.
This professor is really one of a kind. Math is not a easy subject but she makes it very understanding and a bit easier, very humble as well. Also, if you guys plan taking this class and want to fool around and talk in class while she's lecturing, go somewhere else, show some dignity because this professor wants to help you succeed not to fail you
This is the best professor on the planet. I took her before this spring semester and let me tell you, she is so professional, so elegant in teaching she knows exactly what she's doing. It was my favorite class this semester and i actually hate math. After taking her I love math now. She's passionate of what she teaches. PLEASE DO TAKE HER! THE BEST
Ms. Lam a very nice and helpful teacher. I was scared when I was about to take this class, but she explains everything crystal clear and will help you out during her office hours. I enjoyed going to her class all the time. I wish she would teach stats. I would really recommend her best professor. I took her in Spring 14.
Professor Lam is an energetic lecturer. She keeps her students engaged and takes her time to explain if anyone needs to go back over a point. She is very flexible and will work with you if she feels that you are really working and not just trying to snow her. I took her for two levels and would have taken her again if I could have. Great teacher!
Definitely a great professor to take for lower math courses! If you're not biased towards her accent which is much better now she will definitely keep you interested and explain the lectures thoroughly. She ignores MathXL (THANK GOD) and goes for traditional handwritten homework weekly which helps input the material. I highly recommend her!
Best teacher you can possibly get period. She makes sure her students understand the material. Ask ask ask questions if you don't know something. she allows you to visit her in her office for further help. All teachers need to learn from her teaching and helpfulness. Her classes get full fast. Now you see why?
One of my fav teachers at LACC! She's hilarious and really helpful. There were tons of homewoks but they weren't that hard. There were about 6-7 quizes and 5 tests, not including the common final. Just don't forget to review before the test! :)
Amazing professor. Very clear and upfront of what is required. Math is not my favorite subject but thanks to her I have learned to understand math.
I struggled with math my whole life. That all changed when i took professor lam's class. She was the most attentive, patient, & warm hearted professor i have ever had. She truly cares about her students and is more than willing to help u if don't understand something during her office hours. I recommend her to anyone, she is an amazing prof &person
Professor Lam is by far the most patient math instructor I've experienced. She explains math so that ANYONE can understand. Her tests are done on paper, and she gives partial credit for solving problems. I'd take her for all my math classes, if she'd be teaching them. Love professor Lam!
she is the best professor I have taken. she explains all lectures very well. show up to class and do the homework and you will pass. the homework is online. take her and you wont regret it!
Professor Lam, is very systematic in her teaching so you are able to follow the mathematical problem after class. Uses a tablet & software called Doceri when teaching, so basically you have the notes online to refer to after class. Advise, listen in class and take note of the summary slides that she provides. Alot of home work which is helpful.
If you need to take math 125 take it with Prof. Lam. She really goes out of her way to help her students as much as possible. Don't be afraid to ask for help she is willing to help you understand the material. Math 125 is a tough class but if you take her you will learn a lot. Amazing professor. Highly recommend!
SHE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! You won't regret it!! Enough said.
She is the best math teacher I have taken so far. Super clear when it comes to the material. Makes learning math easier than usual.
if you go to class it will be easy and if you didn't get something ask for help, she will provide it to you. I mean do not expect to pass if you don't attend the class. she is really nice and tries to explain the problems as easy as she can. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. she's funny, respectful. I got A in all the classes i took with her.
Professor Lam is great! She tries to make her lessons easy for her students to understand and is glad to answer any questions during the lectures if it is still not clear. Overall an excellent professor.
This professor is outstanding! I have never had an A in math until I took her. I took this course with Salazar and failed, retook it with Lam and passed with flying colors. She is patient, and her explanations are excellent. She is a gem! Too bad she's not teaching 125 in Spring.
I took math 112 twice with different teachers and failed. I was on the verge of giving up until I met Lam. She takes the time to help her students understand the material. I also want to add that she is a patient wonderful teacher who cares about her work and will do everything in her power to help you pass. I am thankful for this professor.
Kee Lam is an amazing professor. Out of all the Math professors in this dreadful school, Lam is one of the few professors who care about her students. Before her I hated math, but Professor Lam made it so understandable and simple I ended up liking math.
She's amazing... so good I'm going to take her for 125. Really patient, helpful, very sweet, & funny. It's hard to find a math teacher like that. I'm terrible at math but as long as u try. She will pass you.
Kee Lam is a great professor, always willing to help her students and clears up any confusion. This professor grades fairly and gives you the grade you earn. Also do not buy the book, only buy the access code for mymathlab! everything was based on online homework and her notes.
Mrs. Lam is such a good teacher! I'm really gonna wait it out and hope she teaches math 125. She makes everything so funny and relates it to us as much as she can. She makes math understandable. She doesn't mind if you ask questions throughout her lecture. She's taken many maths so she has a students perspective. Plus, she's a total fox. Take her!
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN KEE LAM. She is the best math teacher I have ever taken in my life from kindergarten to college. Her style of teaching is top-notch. She is really good at explaining, which my other professors at LACC couldn't do. And she's not harsh on you when you make mistakes. Do yourself a favor and take her.
Kee Lam is hands down the best math teacher I have ever had in my life. She really takes the time to explain the concepts to the class and is very clear. I feel like I understand algebra for the first time and it feels like a miracle.
Amazing Professor! I would visit her during office hours and she will ALWAYS welcome me with open arms. She's very helpful. She's so sweet and funny. Her lectures are clear with notes you can look online and print out. Had 4 quizzes all semesters. Gave extra credit. She did not use MATHXL. She made trigonometry fun! Love you Ms Lam!
She is the best Math teacher I've ever taken in my whole life. She is so sweet and funny. She makes the subject easy and fun. She explains the lecture very well and if you don't get it, she will repeat it. Participation matters. She always asks questions one by one which really helps for you to learn. Will definitely recommend to take her class!
One of the best math professors ever. I'm terrified of math and am not very good at it but I passed her class with an A. I plan on taking her again for 125. Her lectures are very clear and accessible from her website. Tests are very doable and don't drag on forever. You do need to study and work to pass but she will make it as easy as possible.
I LOVE Professor Lam. I have been a math-tard my entire life and she made the concepts clear and comprehendible. I actually ENJOYED math for the first time in my life and it was all because of her and her teaching style. Anyone who gets the chance to take her class should jump at the chance! She's the best!!!
Kee Lam is the best professor for teaching students who don't get math how to understand it. It's amazing how she taught me so much, she really has a gift. I Aced her class when I first came to college after dropping out of high school and getting F's in math my whole life. If you're good at math and don't like to go slow then don't take her. But if you're bad at math she can change your life
She's an amazing teacher! I wish that I had taken her for my other math classes. She's also very hot.
She was one of best math teacher I've ever taken.
Nothing I would change about Prof Lam. Fantastic. I have successfully gotten an A in THREE of her math classes in a row. She does all of her lectures on an iPad projected in front of the class & uploads them to her website right after class for review. Writes all her own exams. Take her!!! But, hop to it. She is VERY popular & classes fill FAST!!
She actually listens to you if you have a problem. Her office hours are at a good time so you can actually see her. During class if you are having problems understanding a section she will take her time to go over it with you and the class as well. She is the BEST!!!
Her lectures are very easy to understand. She makes sure to run every student through the material, so everyone understands. She also utilizes MML mostly, which is nice, especially for those that have busy weeks. She is by no means a tough grader, as she'll give most credit as long as the work is shown. One of the best teachers anyone could ask for
Professor Lam is an outstanding instructor she able to provide with extensive help and provide step by step instructions to solve the problems. If you need her to go over the subject she will happily oblige. She gives partial credit even if the answer is incorrect. One of the best math instructor I've ever had.
11 units,7exams-50 points each, final 100 points, HW from textbook due on exam day. There are also a couple in class partner assignments. Each exam has no more than 2 units. She simplifies lesson plans and makes the subject very easy to understand. Professor is very nice & does everything she can to make her students successful. Download Wabbitmu!
Took Stats before with someone else, & dropped it because it felt hard to me & was not doing well. With her, it seemed very easy & keep in mind that this a fast-paced summer class! She is organized & amazing at explaining the concepts. Only reason I didn't get an A was because I didn't review for the final. First time NOT getting a C in math.
You know your teacher is amazing when she can get a student who hates math and has never been great at it to get an A - in a 5 week summer course! She is a wonderful lecturer and will go above and beyond to make sure you understand the material. If you are having a hard time - talk to her! She will help redirect you to success. An inspiration!
I took Professor Lam last fall for 112 and she was very helpful. I'm brain dead when it comes to math and I always make stupid errors on tests. She doesn't grade harshly on tests. She lets you know where you went wrong. Participation matters. You have to work hard. I'll be taking her for 125. She cares about her students understanding the content.
I'd taken stats before and hated it. I thought I just didn't like the subject, but turns out it was just the professor. She is an amazing professor. She is really great at explaining the material and she makes what would be a dry subject much more tolerable. Amazing professor 10/10 would recommend.
I took Professor Kee Lam for Intermediate Algebra. She was very clear and answered questions in her lectures. She has a nice sense of humor too. Attendance is important if math is hard for you and if you don't want to get dropped from missing too many classes. Despite Math being difficult for me, I got an A in part bc of her teaching style.
Do everything in your power to get into her class! If you do not pass her class, it's literally because you did not try AT ALL! She wants you to pass her class, and will help and discuss and break everything down for you. I took her for Stats and there is literally no one else who could break it down like she does. SHE IS AMAZING!!
Everything was on power point and she did not show step by step instruction Everything is super rushed and it's a very auditory class. So if you are more of a visual learner avoid her stats class and find someone else.
Easy class if you keep up with the work. Not difficult to under the math. Shes very understanding when you talk to her about making up work such as opening quizzes for you to retake. The hw stays open but its better to do it when required so it wont pile up.
Professor is sweet, funny, and understanding. I took her for Intermediate Algebra (Math 125). My Math Lab is required for the homework (and expensive), but it is worth it for the additional practice tools.
Not a difficult professor but not a great explainer. Lags too much and misses class. Do not take her, sure she is easy but what she teaches is not in the exam. Learn ur vocabs.
Yes, she has an accent. But she truly cares for her students. She's really funny too. If you can get past her accent, math is suddenly easy. If you need extra help, just ask her. Her office hours are given the first day and if you go to them, she'll give you advice. Very caring and passionate professor. Take her!
I have taken her for 2 semesters. She really cares about her students and will give you her time if you need it. Her lectures are hilarious and she has the ability to make you interested even if you don't like math. She is able to break math down simplistically and applies it to real-life situations. Love her. Highly recommended.
I just took Professor Lam's intermediate algebra during winter. I have not had a math class in over 5 years, taking a 5 week course was probably a terrible idea. Which it was. I got a D but Professor Lam is great, I wish it was a full length course because she is a great teacher. I have a new fondness for math! Extra credit is available- DO IT!
SHE IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER, EASY A.... MUST TAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's simply amazing .
professor lam is amazing honestly, I have failed math since high school I was never able to pass I just never understood it. She explains everything in depth her reviews before the test is exactly the same as the real test, she's one of a kind truly I hope to take her for math125 she makes your life so easy.
Professor Lam is an exceptional teacher. She explains things clearly and precisely and anticipates areas that trip students up. I will base my schedule around her class if I'm fortunate enough to take her higher level classes.
Professor Lam is a Great Professor. I took pre Algebra. Twice b4 her and didnt pass. With her I did. I did better than pass. She is one of the few professors that doesnt assume you should already know the material. She teaches it to you till you do. Door always open. Great sense of humor. Shes funny you show up you do the work youll pass
I love her way of teaching! She makes sure you learn and explains the subject very well. Highly recommend.
Professor Lam is an amazing teacher. She works through your questions with you if you have them during lecture or outside of class. She is able to break down complex topics into smaller ideas that you can understand. You won't regret taking her class.
She is great. Will work with you if you communicate she goes the extra mile to help you understand
I love her sense of humor.
I have severe math anxiety and most math professors are really hard for me to deal with, Ms. Lam is truly one in a million. She blends her lectures with homework on Khan Academy and that gives you the ability to really retain what is being taught. She's awesome.
i have not done a math problem since high school, ms lam explains math in understandable words. home work is doen through the computer so its easy, home work can take up to an 30mins to an hour depending on your math level. over all I got an A.
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? Look elsewhere.
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.
WOW, JUST WOW! Thinking about what a great educator Professor Lam is brings tears to my eyes. Not only does she give clearcut, straightforward explanations, she will explain things until you understand. She offers extra credit. Her videos are amazing!!! She is flexible if the situation warrants it. She is truly a blessing to have as a professor! <3
A treasure at LACC and an absolute delight to have as a professor! She is beloved and highly respected for her ability to teach concisely and effectively. After having so many bad experiences with math professors, this one has rekindled my hope and faith in Math professors and I will always think very highly of her!
Professor Lam was an absolute pleasure! She is so amazing at teaching math. HER VIDEOS! They are amazing and such a resource. I couldn't have asked for a better professor! If you have trouble with math, this class might turn that around for you! Her clear grading criteria and straightforward demeanor make an excellent professor!
I took a fast paced statistics class with professor Lam and I can honestly say that she is very organized and she is really good at explaining the problems and solutions. She goes straight to the point and offers extra credit. She made math not too much of a bad experience.
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 the best Professor I have ever had I took with her math 115, 125 and 227 math is my weakest subject and she made me overcome my insecurities and fears. Ill miss her now that Im going to Cal Poly
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.
She is nice. The online Statistics Math 227 is awesome. However, she prefers to NOT write letters of recommendation for online students.
She is nice. The online Statistics Math 227 is awesome. Her video lectures area great. However, she prefers to NOT write letters of recommendation for online students. She says she has more to write when students attend her in-person classes.
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.
It's an online course, do the lectures and hw. 4 exams total. Fairly easy to follow the modules. Offers extra credit by taking tutoring. Responds to emails fairly quickly. Would really recommend.
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.
