a very good math professor, makes calculus easy to understand even if you aren't a "math person"

although i refer to her as "witlessly", she's a good teacher who enjoys saying "slice it up" "chop" "x not" and other weird things...you must see her be a mime in a box, and i'm tellin ya, who wouldnt tap that fine heiney

Go take her class if you think you're good at math. She's pretty fast.A cool person.

kind teacher. good at explaining things and explains more for those who don't understand

very nice lady. i had calculus beforehand but i still found her a very good teacher. Better calc teacher than the one i had in high school. she actually cares how her students do and explains things pretty well.

She is a good teacher who clearly knows what she's talking about but she does run through material quickly. For Calc 1 she taught to the level of those who had seen Calc before in high school. She varied the difficulty of exams, one was hard, one was easy, and one was just okay.

This class isn't that difficult for people who have seen calc before and had a pretty good understading understanding of it. The difficulty of her exams aren't consistent. She is a good teacher but I recommend this class for people who have an interest in math otherwise it can get a bit boring and difficult.

teaches as if everyone's already learned calculus. not a bad teacher, but goes really fast. difficult class.

Teaches and explains things well, i recommend you go to the lectures if you havent seen Calc in high school or you will be lost. She does not communicate at all with the TA's so you dont really know what the tests are going to be like. She makes up the tests probably two days before the test and the study guides she gives dont really help much.

A hard class, go to lecture at every opportunity. If you haven't had any calculus experience it may be difficult for you. I know it was for me. She's funny and encourages participation. Don't sleep in class, pay attention and do the homework. Study and memorize what she tells you to. You'll do fine.

Very nice teacher..She really cares about her students and their understanding...Can also be very funny...Lecture is mandatory because of the notes she gives...Exams are very hard, especially the final

I have not seen calculus before i took this class. I bombed my first midterm, but then the second midterm was easy, the third midterm was okay. The final was so hard, but really curved. All you need in order to do well in this class is study your butt off. This is not an easy class, but if you try then you should do well. I ended up getting a B.

I'm not sure why people think she is so bad. If you pay attention, stay awake, study for the tests, and go to her office hours, you can do ok. She is a pretty funny person. Sometimes her lectures can be unclear, but she tries to work with the class.

I am a freshman coming from a low income high school and so far my grade for this class is A-. Go to every lecture and discussion, study her study guides + homework problems and you guarantee yourself at least a B.

The class is challenging, but not impossible. She is an excellent lecturer. She may go fast but if you review the notes afterwards it's not really a problem. Exams are extremely difficult, so make sure you study. There is ALWAYS a huge curve so it's not bad.

She is the best professor giving me lecture at this semester.

She is a great professor! The class isn't easy and the homework and tests are hard, but if you put in the effort, you can do well. She is extremely helpful, especially in office hours, and funny. Definitely recommend her for Math 221!

I thought she was great! she really explained well, and made calculus somewhat enjoyable!

Book is pricey and only used twice. Buy it on IBX and get WebAssign from the source. Whittlesey is clear, concise, passionate, and sarcastically funny. If you don't care, you won't do well. Don't sleep, chat, or disrespect her. Do the midterm reviews. They tell you almost exactly what will be on the exams. You'd be a fool not to. Best TAs ever.

Took her calc 1 class, she is a lecturer and lecturers like one. Her class is harder than the other professors calc classes. She is clear and makes sense, she will take the time to explain at office hours. I bought the book, very expensive, used it for homework once. Only reason to buy is bc it is required for calc 1 through 3.

Excellent professor, very clear examples, and generous curve. She may be a little more difficult on the exams, but it is very reasonable for Calc for peoplewho have taken calculus.

Very good lecturer and sarcastically funny. Quite helpful if you attended office hours, and doing midterm/final exam reviews are a must. Class was difficult and she was challenging, however I would still recommend this professor.

Good teacher.

I like this professor so much. She is hilarious and makes learning math such a interesting thing!

Kind professor who will go out of her way to help you so long as you ask for it. With that being said, her lectures can sometimes be unorganized and not very clear. Attending office hours is highly recommended.

Funny, very concise in lecture, very good at explaining things, cares about her students' success

she is really funny and clear during classes. Super patient too. unexpectedly she made the class actually interesting. overall, comon its math you have to study for it.

This class felt like a very long marathon to live through. The homework was very stressful and difficult. To get a good grade, you have to put in every single bit of effort you know how to give. There were many TAs available for help. Kim was good at explaining lectures, but it was very fast paced

Calc II is SUPER hard but she is a great professor. She will explain things as well as she can, but it really is up to you to do your homework and go to tutoring to figure the rest out.

It's definitely a tough class and there is a lot of work that needs to be put into it. She's a very kind lady and is always more than happy to answer questions and make you understand the topic as simply as possible. That being said, go in for office/tutoring hours if you are confused with anything as it is much more helpful than just the lectures.

Professor's lecture is cool. She is a cute person.

Linear Programming is somewhat difficult, but Prof. Whittlesey makes the course interesting. It's her first time teaching this course, so the homework is quite tricky and conceptional, but she will surely do much better in the future semesters.

I had some (not much at all) experience with Calc from high school, and the lecture notes definitely consolidated concepts. I do feel at times she goes through tough concepts quite fast, so self-revision is important. Exams are usually HARDER and not similar to what's given as practice. Quizzes and Exams can be dropped, and there is some extra cr

Probably the best calc teacher at UIUC. Lectures were super clear and she was very fair with grading

Sometimes you need to do some reading outside of the class for better understanding on the materials. But the professor is really nice and patience. If you got questions you can always go ask.

the material for this class is a breeze if you've taken high school calculus, can be easily tested out with proficiency exam, didn't study too much and received an A, took this class fall of 2021

good professor, teaches well, but the overall course content is difficult regardless of who your prof is. this course if very exam heavy. also be sure to be ready to drop $100 on the online text!

Prof. Kim is kind and always willing to help. Calculus is a difficult class, and there's a lot of time you need to put in outside of class. Even with three lectures a week, it's unrealistic to expect to learn everything. I did well in this course by keeping up with practice problems, and I would go over every topic carefully before an exam.

Professor Kim is very caring of her students. She tries to make the lectures as fun as possible and is an easy grader. If you are going to take Calculus, I definitely recommend taking her lecture.

Dr. Kim is very nice, funny, and caring. Her lectures are absolutely amazing, she explains concepts extremely well. Attendance is not manatory for MATH221 but it's absolutely worth it to wake up for an 8am when she's the one teaching.

It's clear that she cares about students and wants them to succeed. Her teaching is pretty standard, as if you were following the textbook. She's willing to give tons of support. Quizzes were tough and exams fair, but there's a good amount of resources to help you prep. Calc 1 is a learning curve for 1st years regardless of prof, but she's good.

Good experience. Lectures were clear and easy to follow. Exams were definitely harder than I would expect from the lectures, in the sense that you can't just memorize formulas, you have to think.

Professor Kim was a great professor and was mostly clear with explanations during lecture. There are many opportunities to practice and revise content before exams and quizzes. I personally understood her teaching style but sometimes she would go through examples really fast and I would have to take pictures to review later.
