Great Calculus professor! Considering that I had taken the course multiple times at smc. His tests are easy (if you study) and straightforward. sometimes he can be confusing cause he's kinda all over the place, but I would def. take his other math classes
Dr. Lee is brilliant. His style is relaxed, funny and very entertaining. But beware, each story has an equation attached. You will learn and laugh a lot. A great way to learn Math. His slogans: "Math is beautiful" and "Math is Art."
An incredible teacher. You will learn so much.
Amazing teacher, didnt have to work a single bit over summer. He taught everything tests were fair and good. Funny, kept you awake throughout the grusome 3 hour summer time slots highly recommended.
Dr. Lee is the best math teacher at smc, i wish he taught every single math class there is!!!
A little too easy, which can be bad when you move on to other math classes. His jokes can be funny, and he doesn't assign more homework than neccesary.
god dam you lee!!!!
This teacher doesn't know english. You can only understand every few words he speaks! It is an easy class but it isn't easy to comprehend what is being said
only one word can discribe: good~
Very easy teacher and funny you could get an easy "A" also you can laugh a lot and there is a plenty review for class so you can do well on the exams. The exams are easy.
Dr.Lee is the best teacher ever.Students who are bad at math should take his class.He teaches step by step.Highly recommended!Two weeks are enough to get used to his accent.Attend every class and do HW.If you couldn't get an A then it's your problem.
Dr. Lee is the best.
Can't go wrong with Dr. Lee. You'll learn so much and be surprised when working hard isn't so bad and how in the end, really pays off in his class.
Dr. Lee is THE best math teacher. I used to fail my math classes before his.Dr. Lee is a great teacher who makes sure his students are doing well. Not to say there werent students who did badly in his class. Carry your own weight and you'll get an A. If you don't, youre retarded.
he makes math reallly easy to understand. hes funnny mosst of the time, sometimes repeats his stories. math is actuallly kinda fun with dr.lee. i never passd a math classs but i got an A in his. i love him!!
yeah this chinese old dude is soooo funny everybody loves him. His english is sometimes unclear but ull get used to it soon!He gives u A easily.I love the way he grades.Take his class!He doen giv us too much HW either.
The coolest little asian man of a math teacher that ever existed. I actually wanted to listen than ponder my suicide in this math class! He makes things as simple and clear as possible. No tricks! Very clever and funny, it was a pleasure.
Amazing teacher, best math teacher i've had in years. Its hard to understand him at first but you get used to it. He passes on the information really well through funny examples from things that happened to him. Take him for math you'll learn alot
Lee is the man!! Very funny and helpfull! Strongly recommended ;
This is the man. I love Dr Lee. He is so funny, the only thing that I didn't like was the fact that he dosen't give out reviews for the finial. Everything eles was copeastetic. He is the bomb,And youll actually learn a thing or two...
I am taking math 22 in this semester. He is soooo funny and he always review the material before the test. Just do your homework and do not mis the class. Then, you will get good grade
The Best Teccher Out there. He know how to explane and goes slow so that the students can understand the stuff he teaches.
he knows how to explain, however, he does not respect student. hard chinese english.
he is bad character.
horrible....torture...so boring and his english is a joke, very hard to understand and rude
He seems rude at the first time because he does not like any students talking in class. He does not like students coming late or leave early too. But if you do not have any problems bout that, the you will be fine. 3 tests drop one,final must take. He gives review before the test which is reaaally help..! Study the reviews and remember every steps!
he is really funny when he cracks jokes (which he do most of the time). 3 tests, drop 1, but if your final (must take) is better than any of your 2 tests, you can replace the marks with your final's. so in overall just take one test score, final score, you'll do fine!
GOT AN A! not very easy final paper i must say, but his tests are very very very easy! so just score in your tests, study harder for finals. AND, trust me, other than his chinesey english, he is really clear in his teachings. trust me! and he always prepare a review on wht to study before every tests and exams!
He is so nice n funny guy!!!! has a strong chinese? accent but still love him. However, test is NOT EASY. kinda tough espeacially final exam. It was horrible for me... but still like him. 3 exams n final. 1 lowest score of exams will be dropped. gotta go 2 da class cuz he takes attendance in every class. I got B.
LOOOOOOOVE HIM. THE WORLD SHLD TAKE HIM!
First of all, his accent isn't bad at all. You can understand him perfectly. Second of all, he's extremely hilarious!! I am TERRIBLE at math and I usually fail everything but I'm actually passing right now. If I'm passing this class, you can too. Trust me.
Prof.Lee is the hilarious and i love the way he intregrates jokes into his teaching. I took him in summer'06 and I thought the 3 hrs lecture was really too short.. cos he went fairly quick, yet clear in his explanation. His tests aren't that hard, so long you study his lectures well and do the homework. Oh, he's picky bout attendance too!
he is a reaaly good teacher and if you don't understand something he will explain it. but i recommen him and if u r serious about this class u will do good.
This guy is freaking terrific! He is just too good!! Really helpful, explains his materials well, jokes r funny, really smart and know lots of things! He always talk about some random story related to math! Makes math really interesting! TAKE HIM!!
I absolutely love him! funny accent, easy teacher. Just do your work and you'll do fine
for your information he is KOREAN, not Chinese. His accent is not horrible, but then again no teacher's accent is horrible enough for me. This guy has a witty way of teaching the class with his I.Q. of 180 1/4 and his usage of 31% of the brain. "Why? Because I know everything." How did I know the = sign is parallel? Dr. Lee's class. HAHAHA
mr. lee is a nice man, but we aren't talking about personality on here now are we. he handwrites his tests, which are totally illegible, and makes you show ALL THE WORK, even the obvious stuff. worst prof. i've ever had. arrogant, and when profs should help students, he makes good students look inadequate. totally the worst of the worst.
Dr. Lee is the best math professor that i've ever had in my entire life. I wanted to learn, so I made questions and he answered them clearly. Also, he is very patient and funny to teach. You can see that he knows the material. Math became a piece of cake to me - thanks to Dr. Lee.
I hated Math before but I like Math since taking it with Dr. Lee. He makes Math fun and he breaks everythig down so simply and clearly. Drops lowest test, replaces second lowest test with Final if final is better. He gives you the problems on the test beforehand. Good times!
Great teacher! Dr Lee keeps the class interesting with his stories. Attendance is a must, he moves through topics pretty quickly! You must show all your work on exams, no multiple choice.
Dr. Lee is a great professor! Very funny, it's hard to understand him sometimes but still a good at teaching. I don't like math much, it's my worst subject, but after taking him, I liked it. Take him!
I belive that Dr.Lee is one of the best teachers in SMC.He tells u stories and makes jokes to keep the students interested and most of the times it works.When students don't understand the subject, he will do everything that he can in order to assist them(and that's a good quality in a taecher).I would highly recomend this teacher.
he is such a good teacher... you will learn alot and he will make sure that u do. he takes the time to answer all questions in class... he has sloppy writing that is sometimes hard to read but if u tell him he will fix it.. overall he is a great teacher i would took him twice and i would take him again if i could!!
Math scares me and I've always been terrible at it, but with Prof. Lee's instruction I actually started to grasp the formulas. Prof. Lee is a wonderful, caring instructor. Pay attention in class. Sit near the front so that you can take good notes and do the homework. It's worth an extra 10%, which can make all the difference in your final grade.
Love Dr. Lee!!! He is such an amazing teacher... ( :
Professor Lee is a super great guy. I don't really like math but he makes the class really fun to attend. Never miss a class and NEVER EVER talk on your cellphone or with classmates during the class. He finds it disrespectful. Tests are a clone of review session. Totally recommend for those who are not math wizards.
Arrogant and wants everything his way. Senseless stories. Likes to embarrass his students in class. Has his own way of grading on tests. Slight mistake in computation will deduct unreasonable points. There's not point of arguing since he wants it his way even if you got the final answer right.
Awful shouldn't be teaching.
The guys who criticised him are losers. He is really good at teaching. When I was a student in Japan, I really hated Math, but he changed my idea compleately. Come every class, and sit at the first row because his wrighting is sloppy.
Lee may not be crystal clear when he teaches.....but his methods for solving the problems are great. not to forget his explanations of where YOU mess up and why are very helpful.If you have any questions on the subject just ask him right then and there he'll explain it very well!!!
He is pretty easy, and reviews homework everyday. He usually makes mistakes when grading tests, so make sure you double check your grade. Everything is easy except the FINAL :-( Otherwise, he is TOTALLY AMAZING!!
He really is the funniest asian alive. If you have to take something sucky like math, having a teacher who is a stand up commedian is a dream come true. You will be entertained forever. Plus, he ads math to jokes so class is easy. Study hard material, tests-only common sense questions
I've taken Lee for several courses now and the way to take his class and get an A is as follows:1)Sit in the front row- his writing is very small 2)DO NOT miss his review before each test- they're copies of each other. Thats it. Don't worry about his accent, after a day- at most two, you'll get used to it and understand him just fine. Sweet man.
Hard for me to jugde easieness because I am a math nerd...but if you go to class and do your homework, there is no reason not to get a good grade. He is funny. But make sure you LABEL EVERYTHING, he does deduct points for it. And his handwritting is horible, so fallow along with his. Anyone with a bad comment probably was a screw off in his class..
Dr Lee is the most straightforward and funniest prof ever! He keeps class fun with his jokes in class like "My wife's calling" when he hears cellphone or "I know everything" when doing a problem. I rec taking him. He has 3 easy exams drop 1. Study the REVIEW he gives. His final is KILLER though so study very hard ESPECIALLY chap 7 and A. good luck!
This is the best math teacher. He keeps things interesting and explains everything quite clearly. Accent is no problem and he can be funny as heck! Just study and do all the homework and you'll pass the class. His tests are easy. Just study and show to class.
The way he teaches is ok, the stories are entertaining, but the way he grades is really really really bad. he just takes off points, and not enough partial credit. A worst and most unfairable grader that i have ever had.
The way he teaches is ok, the stories are entertaining, but the way he grades is really really really bad. he just takes off points, and not enough partial credit. A worst and most unfairable grader that i have ever had.
AVOID AT ALL COST!!!!!! he writes very sloppy, heavy accent, he hates it when you ask questions, he busts corny jokes that nobody understands, and hes very sensitive.. bad grader, he takes off points for not writing my EQUAL SIGN evenly, like wtf??!
He ROCKS!he tells you the SIMPLEST way to solve math. I recommend taking his class, just listen to him and you will do great. He also funny as hell!
He's cool.. Likes to joke around saying he knows every1 & did everything in life.. !!!Get a seat up close it helps!!!!..His writing specially (words) is messy but ok.. Tone understandable...4 tests including final drops lowest! usually 10-15 question test collects h.w every thurs. . 1)Just give effort 2)study a little and you have a for sure B or A
The easiest teacher ever! Attendance is not mandatory, just do the homework and test are easy. He reviews each time before a test, there's 4 test and he drops the lowest one. He is funny and very understandable.I would highly recommend this class very easy A.
HE THINKS HE IS FUNNY AND NICE. HE ALWAYS JOKES AROUND EVERYTHING. HE THINKS HE IS THE BEST PROFESSOR OF THE ALL STATES!IF YOU GO EVERYTIME IN CLASS AND IF U DO THE HOMEWORKS YOU WILL BE FINE, EVEN IF YOU WILL BE BORED!!!
his class wasn't that hard if you actually show up and pay attention.....especially because he is hard to understand sometimes (accent) and his hand-writing is really bad. but if you manage to get pass that, then he's actually a pretty decent professor... i am terrible with math so for me to say that should mean something. he's a tough grader, make
Professor Lee's writing and speaking may be hard to follow, and he always tries to lighten the atmoshphere in class with his jokes. His tests are fairly easy. It's a easy A/B class as long as you study the concepts. Overall, he's a good professor :)
his writing is like a kindergartener and his english is HORRIBLE!! He tells SENSELESS jokes that waist class time, touch grader. Takes off points for everything, always thinks he is right. His final is so HARD. 4 test, drops lowest. Thinks he is funny & makes jokes about students!! DONT TAKE!!
Drops lowest test.nice teacher just really heavy accent.can get used to it. tests are easy if you study. tells you what will be on test. assigns number to every student so he doesnt really know your names. fairly easy class, overall good teacher. just messy writing. if you wanna learn sit close to the front.
You cannot understand his accent or writing. There is no organization to the problems he does on the board. He is NOT funny. He takes points off for everything. He is annoying...DO NOT TAKE!
He 's a great prof. even his accent s funny but he s a nice prof. u can pass this class easily. all u need to do just attend class and do hw which he assigns u not so much.
DO NOT pay attention to all of the bad ratings. He has an accent, but you can still understand him perfectly. Prof Lee is extremely easy! He explains the material over and over and in different ways until you understand. He drops the lowest exam score (1 of 3), and replaces one test score with the grade on your final if this one's higher. Take him!
His accent and writing can be confusing. His jokes get repetitive. He gets annoyed if you talk during class. His method of turning in homework can become confusing. He's an easy professor, just he's nit picky when grading things, so make sure you don't make tiny mistakes to lose points.
His accent is somewhat thick, and you do have to pay attention to understand, but otherwise he is a great teacher. Very funny and friendly. I am terrible at math but I got an A in his class. Really nice man.
After 15 years not taking math I got an A in his class. Great professor full of energy & funny great jokes really knows what he is doing. I love math now because he truly knows how to teach great tricks. His amazing defiantly take him. Great sense of humor and you do have to pay attention to understand. Kuen Lee the best Professor thank you:-)).
He's great! Makes sure you understand everything. Has an accent but not hard to understand at all. I enjoy math now
His lectures are very clear and he drops the lowest test. when he gives a review before the test do not miss that because his reviews are very helpful to study before the test. He isn't hard unless you are a lazy student and don't do any homework but over all his a funny,and good teacher.
VERY HELPFUL, DOESN'T GIVE OUT A LOT OF HOMEWORK. HIS TESTS ARE USUALLY 15 QUESTIONS; FINAL EXAM WAS 25 QUESTIONS WHICH WERE EASY. VERY LAID BACK AND LIKES TO TELL JOKES. TAKE HIM YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!
He is an amazing teacher that really cares about his students. One of the most helpful and clear teachers even with his accent. (Which is not even a problem) An easy A if you study and the tests are pretty easy and the problems look just like the whats in the homework. I highly recommend him!!!
He is very fair with grading and his class is not difficult. I do feel like I have learned a lot in his class.
Very fair professor and his grading is fair too. His lectures are staright forward and always reviews before exams. Homework due every week but easy to handle. Would take him again if I can! Definitelt learned a lot in this class. (: DO TAKE!
He's a fair professor and his grading is too. He reviews before the exams and will go over homework if you don't understand. Homework is due is every week, but its easy to handle. His lectures are straightforward. Tends to go over the time limit, but overall a great professor. Would take him again if I can! DO TAKE!! (:
One word sums this guy up: awesome! This was the second time I took this course, and after not taking math for over 3 years, I must say I was so excited for class. Dr.Lee is funny, yes he uses the same jokes, but he does it to keep the class attention and break up the lecture. Show up, do your hw and pay attention and u will get a guaranteed A!
I love professor Lee. Take him if you can. His accent is not thick and you can easily understand him. Weekly homework helps you to understand the material. 3 tests, lowest one get dropped, one final. Attend his class, cause he explains very well. Occasional drops some jokes that are refreshing though cause it loosens up the class.
GREAT TEACHER. ENOUGH SAID
Even though Professor Lee is a tough grader, I would love to take him again. At least you will learn in his class and that's what you should. He assigns weekly homework that he grades. He's funny and lectures are entertaining. Very smart, and accent isn't that bad at all.
I took Dr. Lee for math 20 and 26 and he is amazing. He has been teaching for a very long time so he knows what he is doing. He drops the lowest test score and he gives study guides for every exam that are identical to the exams. Dr. Lee is a good professor, don't be lazy and you will pass.
Dr. Lee was a great teacher. Has an accent but don't let that scare you away. He reviews everything (HW & Test) with the class but you also have to speak up and tell him if your stuck. Don't fool around cuz he won't put up with it. He's got silly jokes too. Make friends and study! It helps. Just STUDY. What he reviews is on the test.
Professor Lee was a good teacher, and really cares about his students. You do, however, need to attend every class, do the homework, and practice daily - otherwise it can get difficult later on in the course. If you want a good grade, you'll have to earn it. Ask questions, take lots of notes, do well on the tests, and you'll pass. Take him!
Maybe he's having a bad semester. He makes Too many mistakes during lecture . Find someone else. No extra credit or curved tests. Limited office hours. Can be rude.
Freshman year, I enrolled in Math21 with Prof. Lee & he was great. He is a thorough grader, but makes it clear what he expects. He gives detailed study guides before each test, that are almost identical to the exam itself. He also drops your lowest test score. Just do all your homework, come to class, & you should be fine! Don't stress! Take him!
Prof. Lee is a great professor esp. for first year students. He's Chinese and has a thick accent but you can still understand him. Just show up to class, take notes, and do all your homework. He tells you what he expects so there's no surprises. Gives good study guides and answers all your ?s. He also has quite the sense of humor. Take him!
I DO NOT recommend you take this class! My problem with Lee is the way he teaches. He writes all over the board in an unorganized way and its extremely hard to make out which problem is which. If you're even distracted for a second you'll be confused. He also can be a bit rude and many times while we work on problems he'll do it wrong.
gives a lot of homework. waits until class time is up to stop lecturing and assign said homework. he goes over exactly what will be on the test in the review he does the class before the test so be sure to show up for that. makes mistakes a lot when writing on the board. he can be pretty rude also
I love this professor, had him for two semesters in a row. There are four tests, drop the lowest, and a cumulative final at the end of the year whose score can then replace the lowest of the new group of three. He gives a lot of homework (graded) but only so you understand the material. He is very clear at explaining difficult concepts.
Helps lay groundwork for the following years of math. Explains difficult concepts well and stays after class to make sure you understand the material. At the end of spring sem made more mistakes than fall (had him 2 sem). PLEASE LAUGH AT HIS JOKES. He will repeat them all semester but when the class laughs hes in a better mood and teaches better.
A great man. He teaches directly from the book so its impossible to get lost even with his heavy Chinese accent. He is a jokester and definitely makes it a fun class by making jokes and connecting it to his lecture. Drops lowest test grade. IF you get a better grade on your final than on a test, you can change the grade of that test to that grade.
Funny Professor always has some kind of stories to tell his students. There are 4 exams throughout the semester drops the lowest score and curves the final with you test scores if you did better on the final. The final is 25 questions but there are (a,b,c,etc.). The final study guide was okay but did not match the final since it was based on logs!
Professor Lee is ok he does try to be funny. Of course, there is a lot of hw from the textbook he collects it weekly. My only complaint is that he handwrites his exams. He drops the lowest exam grade and if you do well on the final he replaces that grade with your second lowest grade. He was ok just not for me I wouldn't take him again..
Took Professor Lee for my first college level math class in 2013. He is great at explaining concepts and is more than happy to help you and answer questions. Now that I've had other math professors, I have an even greater appreciation for Prof. Lee. Would recommend taking his class.
Class is him lecturing and relies on the textbook. Hw comes from text. 4 tests and 1 final. Drops the lowest test grade and replaces another bad test with the final if the final grade is better. Has a heavy accent so its sometimes hard to understand what hes saying, and his handwriting is hard to understand at times too. Goes over class time ALOT
He occasionally goes on weird tangents un-related to math, but . Grade is almost completely based on 3 test scores and final. Runs 5-10 minutes over class sometimes. If you act respectfully and pay attention/do the work, you'll do well. He's great. I don't love math, but I enjoyed taking his class.
He's serious about dropping you if you don't come. Super easy class. Gives out hw based on the lecture. Gives a study guide for the test. Test turns out to be exactly the same. There's 16 arranged hours you have to do or you lose 5% of your grade. I recommend. Goes overtime the days he's reviewing for a test. BE AWARE ITS A NONTRANSFERABLE COURSE
