This teacher expects students to focus on his class only. He was such a bad teacher that not one person was passing his class at the end of the semester so he had to drop all of the work we had done(i.e. homework, extra credit, and test) and base our final grade on what we scored on the final exam.

Don't take this as a summer course. Professor Lee has no sympathy for anyone's struggles, inside or out of the classroom. The biggest problem with with this course is you get NO feedback on your work until you take the exam, by then it's too late. Exams are 90% of the grade, and the class average is about 50% - 60% on each; you will likely fail.

Tests are worth 90% of your grade, 9% is homework, and 1% is attendance. 3 Tests and a Final. Each of the three tests are 20% of your grade, and final is 30%. Only 10 or 11 questions on each test. So each question is super important! Questions come almost straight from homework though, so STUDY your homework. If you don't like math, don't take him.

KC was absolutely awesome! I hate math, and he made this class easy to understand, and he's pretty funny! He's really helpful, and even answered some of my questions via text. He answers emails really quickly too. I'm so glad I took my math requirement with him, and even more happy that it's done and over with. Take him!

KC is the best teacher I have ever had. He explains concepts multiple ways so that you can find the method that works best for you. The only people that have given bad reviews are the ones that didn't show up to class or do their work. I would take every math class from him if I could.

KC is a good teacher but his class isn't easy. You will need to study hard and do the homework right after class to completely understand it! Go to the Math lab and get help! Don't get behind and you can get a decent grade. I probably would look at taking from another teacher if you want an easy semester.

KC is a great professor. He is very clear and easy to understand. He tells you exactly what he expects to do on the homework and tests. That made it easy to get a good grade. I'd recommend him to anyone. Those who complain about how "hard" the class is either not going to class or unable to follow his easy directions. Take it from him.

KC is great! He is extremely straightforward as to what is expected, and made this the easiest math class I have ever taken. I can understand how this class would be difficult if you don't pay any attention (or don't go at all). However, if you take good notes each day and study those, you are set for a great grade no doubt. Just pay attention!

KC is one of the most straightforward teacher. Yes, he may grade difficulty but go to class and take good notes. He will prepare you for every test. The SI sessions are also beneficial. Do the work, take good notes, pay special attention when he talks about what will be on the test because it will be!

Do not take this class! Unfair test grader, doesn't grade homework (just gives you points for doing it), doesn't teach you anything, you're pretty much on your own. Each test is worth 25% of your grade so if you don't do well on 1 test, you won't get a very good grade.

He is a good person and wants to help but just doesn't know how. He expects you to remember everything from every math class you've ever taken and then somehow apply it to something that you barely even know how to do. Not challenging, just extremely frustrating.

He is a really great teacher, cares about you and likes teaching. That said he is a picky grader but his test are just like the homework they are not multiple choice. They are 9-10 questions long so you don't want to miss any questions. Make sure to attend SI's, take your time on the test and review the vocab and you will be fine.

The only reason I did good in this class was because we had an SI who held amazing study sessions. If there is no SI, do not take this class. Also, if you're planning on getting an A, you might as well move into the stats lab. But being in class was always fun. KC has a good sense of humor, he's just extremely particular about test answers.

This class was 90% test based. Take this class if you are a good test taker. It is subjective to what he teaches in class though. If you get one part of a question wrong, the whole problem is wrong. I went out of town and asked if there were any videos I could watch online to stay on track, he told me that the only way to learn was from his class.

UVU should have just charged me for the book and not the class. He doesn't do much explaining other than reading from the book. And when he does he explains useless things like what a cat whisker is or how to properly speak english.

KC is a great teacher who is very knowledgable in his knowledge of math. I feel like a lot of my class faced difficulty with his style of teaching: 90% of your grade is dependent on your tests, things he teaches can be a bit vague at times, and can be relatively unpredictable. He does give an assignment almost every day, but they are easy and help.

A lot of the negative reviews on here came from people who skipped class and expected to still get an A. He teaches very clearly and if you are there participating it's almost a guarantee you will walk out of there knowing the topic. Tests are 90% of your grade so I don't recommend if you aren't a good test taker. He is fairly merciful on grading.
