I literally made this Rate My Prof page just to express how great of a teacher Lamp is. He is new to teaching, so he doesn't have reviews and such but he creates all his notes and guides to prep for tests and goes over problem solving and answers for everything. Very easy going. funny guy, and makes it so you earn the grade you deserve studying

Attendance is not mandatory, however, do yourself a favor and go. Especially if you aren't great at math like me. Honestly, I'm really glad I took his class, you can tell he actually cares about his students. He's young, which means he understands what its like to be a student, and he tries to explain material as simple as possible. Take his class.

The best best best math teacher Ive ever had. I took both Math 3A and Math 3B with prof. Lamp. I am a person bad at math and hate it very much. But Prof. Lamp made the class and content to a easy way. You can handle everything if you finished all his lectures and did the homework yourself. It will be a 100% easy A. Just go take his classes!

Lamp is one of if not the best calc professor, his exams are difficult but he prepares you for them, he is such a nice guy, makes lectures enjoyable and tons of extra credit. Make sure to do homework even though its not required but it really helps. Just an amazing professor although its not an easy A. Make sure to always go to office hours.

Math 11 was a manageable course with 2-3 lectures per week and 1 discussion post. 3 In-person tests that are similar to the exam review and are pretty easy, as long as you make a good cheat sheet. He rounds grades at the end of the semester and truly cares about his students.

Lamp is the best professor to take for calculus. He cares a lot about his students and wants everyone to succeed. Tests are difficult but lamp fully prepares you for them. I took 3B hybrid which made it harder to keep with the material. One of the best things you can do to succeed in this class is to go to office hours and do the homework questions

Lamp is genuinely a really funny and nice guy, but I didn't really like his teaching style. He taught through Youtube lectures from COVID even though we were an in person class, and his lectures weren't great. Overcomplicated simple things, oversimplified complicated things. His tests are also pretty challenging, but doable with proper studying.

I took his hybrid class which was like a flipped class. I thought it was easy but I know the class average on exams were 60. Not because of him but probably because it was Calculus 2. He's very knowledgable and nice, likes to get to know his students. Currently, has no homework but I know he was looking into adding some.

I took him for 3A and 3B. He is a funny professor that really cares about his students. Even though homework is not mandatory, make sure to do all the homework to guarantee an easy A. He is very accessible outside of classroom and good at teaching.

Is quite merciful provided you put in the effort. Quizzes for flipped format are basically hat-drawn homework questions, do homework and it becomes quite easy.

I overall think lamp is a decent professor but I'm personally not a fan of his teaching style. Tests were pretty difficult even with me studying for hours.

Do not let the ratings fool you. I like him as a person but if you are already not good in math, do not take him. Tests are 10x more difficult than the review and do not trust when they say it is an easy A. Lectures are online (1 hr vids) which make it hard to learn and office hours are super crowded so it doesn't help much. He is funny though.

Professor Lamp is very nice and definitely cares about his students. You NEED to make sure you don't fall behind because quizzes are almost every class and it is so hard to catch up once you've fallen behind. Leave your dignity at the door, the material can be very difficult and challenging.

He teaches the basics but test are so much harder. Be prepared for quizzes every week/day and his lecture videos are not effective. Get a tutor. Tests are a lot more difficult than what is taught and by exam 3, half the class dropped out. Don't be fooled. It is hard.

Lamp is awesome! If you have to take a math course at IVC and he's available, take him. He is SO helpful and always gets back to you if you have questions. Set up really well for online. He wants you to pass! Definitely take his course!

Professor Lamp is both funny and knowledgeable. He provides great study guides. His tests are harder than the study guides but they are still fair. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, math major or not.

This course and professor was a life saver. I was worried that the class would be very difficult because I hadn't taken math in a while, but it was very doable. I learned a lot and had the flexibility to try different styles. It is a light load pretty much every week and if you just do all the assignments, the exams should not be hard for you.

He will make calc 1 a lot easier for you. Will always explain anything you're confused about so ask questions! Go to office hrs every week. The tests were hard so you need to study more than just doing the review and the hw (what he tells u to do). The final was an easy 100 so you can count on that to bring ur grade up. Super generous EC!

Great professor, but a difficult class! His exams are really difficult and he assigns a lot of homework problems. Even though he doesn't collect HW, doing them is required to do well on daily quizzes and to practice for the test! Barely made an A and couldn't have done it without his great extra credit opportunities! Flipped instruction style.
