His Pre-Calc class is amazing. I've always been intimidated by high level math classes but he made his class a very satisfying and enjoyable one. Do the homework. It's a lot but it absolutely prepares you for the exams. His office hours are very productive and he's willing to guide and help you understand the material. No books required either.

I almost never write reviews about a professor, but I had to write one for professor Kuniyuki. His homework problems are reflected on the tests. I believe that the way he structured the class is fair. He does write his lecture notes, but all you need to succeed in the class is discussed and learn in lecture. Dedicate time and you'll do well.

best precalc prof you could take. The material itself is hard to learn, we went from over 40 people to around 15 halfway through the semester. But he is so good at teaching, will genuinely help you so much. hw can be long, but you should definitely still do it. practice tests are very similar to real tests. he is also so energetic every class

His character is unique and caught me off guard, but one of my favorite professors by far. You can see his passion for math in his work and teaching, his lectures can be a little quick, but he gives plenty of time in and out of class helping make sure you understand the material. The workload is average, and tests aren't weighted too heavy.

I appreciated some aspects of this course, such as the handwritten online notes and his availability during office hours. I believe all students should be held to the same standards and have equal opportunities to engage and succeed.

Excellent professor! He explains the material well, tests are fair, he has his own website with abundant resources for all his courses (notes, homework, and exams from previous years WITH their solutions), and you can tell he really cares to hold attention and prevent lectures being boring. I got 102% in his course and would LOVE to have him again!

Prof. Ken is a passionate statistician! His lectures are as entertaining as they are informative! He will always stay after class to answer questions and is very organized! He has a website with extensive resources, such as practice exams and class notes! If you take this class I recommend taking full advantage of his website!

I love Prof. Kuniyuki! His lectures are so funny and I would 100% recommend going to them. They are not mandatory, but they do play a role in your participation grade, which is about 5% of your total grade in the course, so they are mandatory in some sense. However, he is just so passionate about teaching the class. Thanks so much!

The lessons are a bit confusing & he's not the best at explaining, but the exams are almost identical to the HW questions. As long as you understand the HW and if you are doing well on the practice problems/practice exams, then you'll definitely get a good grade. There is no final, just 5 exams taken in-person.

His teaching style is messy and hard to follow, but the class itself isn't too difficult—even if you're not great at math. The homework and practice exams are the most important. The real exams are basically the same as the practice exams, just with different numbers. The HW and tests are done on paper.
