A very nice funny guy, but horrible at teaching. It's a hard class with a hard teacher who doesn't know how to teach. I liked him a lot as a person, not a teacher.

Nice guy, but bad to take for this class! Was passing the class but failed the final exam.

I was very nervous before taking Pre-Cal. But Prof. Lee made it all so clear. He is fast throughout but then he puts everything systematically on the board. He also stays after class for difficulties and answers questions via email. I wish he was teaching Applied Calculus because he is so easy to understand. Thank you Professor.

I took this prof spring 2007 and i had to drop this class. He's a very bad professor who does not care about his students in how they do. The class avg was 53 and don't really care if you pass or fail as long as he gets to finish the material. DO NOT take him.

Not helpful at all, always respond with a smart answer...would not recomend taking any of his class.

Worst professor ever

Don't reccomend taking him at all!

He is hard, the only reason why you guys think he's not is because you haven't taken calculus with him, then I assure you, you would not like him then.

Would never take him again!

I agree, once you take calculus with this guy, you would want to quit school. Maybe he's not so bad teaching other lower level math class, but he's just not a good calculus professor.

Prof. Lee's time would be better used if he change his teaching methods/style and work at his craft instead of coming on this website adding false positive comments about himself.

He has very negative attitude toward students. He should not be a teacher in the first place. He is confusing and not organized. Dear students avoid him in any cost.

Stay away from him!!! He is terrible. Do not know how to teach. Can't speak English. Rude. The worst teacher at Baruch!!!!

Good man, but he can't teach. STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!! Class avg. is nothing better than D. Marks exams like he is fighting his wife. Math is my favorite subject, and he crushed my love for math like I just got disowned by my mother. I got 33 in his exam and trust me when I say it, everyone was in that ballpark. you'll get D,F,W or C good luck!

bad ! cant teach

never take his class.

STAY AWAY FROM HIM. TOUGH HRADER. SKIP CLASS YOU WAN'T PASS . TESTS ARE TOUGH. JUST AVOID HIM FOR SURE.

I am now at baruch but I took him at westchester community college. TERRIBLE! He failed everyone except one person with a C+(that doesn't transfer) I graduated with a 3.78 I AM A SMART STUDENT! Retook the class& received an A He would put things on the tests that he didn't teach When we went to the head he blamed us & gave us a hs level math test.

Wow... don't take... don't bake. Stay cool and take someone who doesn't make you sweat just to find out if your beads make a continuous function.

Guy is miserable and takes it out on students. Makes me wonder about the requirements of a professor. Talks about his home life more than actual math. Avoid!

He is not a great teacher and I had to teach myself everything. He didn't even finish the course syllabus and gave us so much work. He doesn't grade your exams paper on time. He graded all our papers on the last day of when the final grade was posted. The only reason I got A was because I have learned the entire course syllabus in high school.

Took it while social distancing. He will make you pay for expensive math book even if it is free online. He is using WebAssign, which means pay to submit homework. Save ur money, dont take this professor.

Honestly just terrible. The worst prof, he does not know how to teach for sh**, made times like Covid even harder. Does NOT know how to upload grades, and for some reason thinks scores do Not matter... so waits months before giving us our grades. gives you 60 min to complete 25 calc questions which are almost impossible in that short amount of time

Will ruin your GPA. Calc is a hard enough class and he does not make it harder. Does not explain where you went wrong on exams. Takes 5 years to return work. Makes you grade your own quizzes. No extra credit. No partial credit. Tests are timed unfairly. Speeds through material and expects you to be confident. Hardest math class in Baruch.

Ive never written a ratemyprof for anyone but holy smokes this dude is the worst. Goes on blabbering about ethics and knowledge and stays on one problem the entire lecture. His tests say what units will be covered and come the day of the exam, not a single one of those units are in the exam. And no disrespect to his accent but Calc is hard enough.

Wow, Calc is not easy and with Max Lee, it'll be nearly impossible won't shut up about how knowledge is more important than grades like if any of us are taking this class for "the love of math". And by the way, the "most helpful rating" on this page is most probably him. That's exactly how he talks in his class so its probably him. SMH

If he's your only option for the particular class you're taking, I suggest waiting on the next semester so that you have better options. Honestly, a used tissue rag is a better professor than he is.

Just horrible. do not take!!!!! He aims to fail you, no second chances. Learning calculus online is already difficult this guy makes it 100x more. He will teach the most simplest form of problems then give the most difficult questions on the test. Homework will take days (20 - 30 questions each). Please save your money and take another class.

The worst professor of all time. no exaggeration.

RUN. This professor is super toxic, always complaining if no one answers, has yelled a couple times in class as well. The problems he gives during class does not match the homework or exams. Just save your money look elsewhere cause this professor is not worth the time

Do not take any class with this professor! Will take 180 minutes to explain 1 problem & then expects you to do 4+ on a 60 minute test. Never answers emails, does not explain things in an easy way, and does not grade anything himself. I have never had a tough time with any math class until having him. Learned more from youtube than him.

Whatever you do, DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He is the worst professor in Baruch. Take math another semester, just don't take this professor. You will do the biggest mistake of your life.

The horrible Prof..

if you take this professor you make the biggest mistake of your life!

I advice students who have enrolled in his class to drop the class already before the semester begins.. save yourself!

Professor Lee is one of the most arrogant people I have come across within my academic career. His exams are nothing like the homework, and he even had the audacity to lecture us about ethics. Completely unaware of both the irony and hypocrisy on his part! He did not provide enough time to finish exams with 20+ questions. Do not take this man!

I would advise to avoid this professor and take it with a different professor. It's better to be safe to save your money and your future endeavors.

Awful. Worst professor. He should quit teaching. No exaggeration

run away !!!! unless you wanna wrote papers in a math class about ethics and take quiz every week!! u will keep received warning in class about your attitude your lazy your problems and nothing wrong with him!! no extra credit no late hw, heavy hw and heavy lecture !! he will give to you his attitude, bad mood and negative effect to learn math

Max Lee may be the worst professor I have ever taken in my undergraduate studies. This is the only ratemyprofessor review that I have done, so that should tell you how motivated I was to write this review. He is extremely disrespectful and does not offer help on problems if you don't understand it. There is a reason every review of him is a 1/5.

Horrible. He flies through the material extremely fast without explaining what he's doing. He doesn't care if you understand of not. Avoid him if you can.

AVOID THIS PROFESSOR I'M GOOD AT MATH BUT WHAT HE TEACHES ITS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU NEED IN ORDER TO SUCCESS IN MATH2207 YOU WON'T SEE ANYTHING ON THE FINALES RELATED TO HIS CLASS!!!!! TRUST ME

Took his class 5 years ago and I still curse this man. Proceed with caution because you will ruin your gpa, I guarantee you. Save your yourself, and skip his class. Take it from an alum you is warning you about a class they took 4 years ago.

I took him for the fall 2022, worst professor bad hand writing, doesn't teach material thats on his exams, expects most of his teaching to come from online HW. would not take again.

Professor Lee is one of the worst professors in all of Baruch. In class he only lectures and either refuses to answer questions or when he does he answers them in a way that makes students sound stupid. His tests are unreasonably hard. A good portion of the students in my class failed the first test which wasn't curved and really set them back.

Terrible teaching style. All he does is solve the problem on his own while not explaining a single thing he is doing to get the answer. It would take him the entire lecture (1hr30min) to solve a problem he expected us to spend 5-10 mins on.

I took this guy almost two years ago and to this day he is the one professor i despise the most. He always makes snarky comments at his students to make them feel dumb and does not care whether or not you know what is going on. Also doesn't explain how he solves the problem, he just expects you to understand by watching him solve it.

His lectures are him doing problems for the whole time that are less complex and don't prepare you for the exam.

Took him during Fall 2023. My biggest mistake, he does weird comments all the time, gives a lot of homework, a lot of self studying. He knows about math, but doesn't know how to teach it. Don't do this to yourself and choose a different professor.

If i went to build a bear and built a horrible professor Prof Lee would pop out a machine. This guy is determined to fail every student that steps foot in his classroom. Literally 29/35 students dropped his class. If you have him as an incoming freshman I will pray for your soul. You are better off having Cookie Monster teach you math

This professor is incompetent. He doesn't know how to do math. On a pop quiz, he messed up the most basic exponent rules I have ever seen. When raising an exponent to an exponent, instead of multiplying them together, he added them. I have no idea how he is able to teach math; he has less of an understanding of basic algebra than a 7th grader.

Worst professor I've had so far at Baruch and no review can explain how bad he is. He is not caring about his students (he said once in class he'll kill you with his pop quizzes), he doesn't explain the material well at all and botches the questions on the pop quizzes. He should be avoided at all costs and I don't think he cares

Worst Professor Ever.

Professor Lee's teaching style leaves much to be desired. He solves problems without explaining the steps, making it hard for students to follow along. The exams are unreasonably challenging, leading many to fail. However, tools like unstuck AI and the free textbook can help with study prep.

Teaching style is incredibly difficult to follow.Rushes through problems without properly explaining the steps, leaving students confused. Exams are unnecessarily hard & pop quizzes feel like traps rather than learning tools.Resources available can't make up for his lack of clear instruction or care for students' success.Avoid taking his class.

AVOID! I had to drop his class because he's horrible.Probably the worst professor at Baruch.Almost the whole class either dropped or failed his class.He makes 1030 seem much more difficult than it actually is,homework is extremely demanding and he is a horrible lecturer that doesn't prepare you for the exams, or explain the material as he rushes.

DON'T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR if you want to save your GPA. He does not explain what he does on the board. He assumes we know how to do everything. When we asked questions, he would make us feel slow or embarrassed. Made inappropriate jokes. A LOT of homework. Almost half of the class dropped, the rest stayed because we had no choice.

I had to drop because I was on track to fail. I failed all the tests and Ive taken College Algebra, and Precalculus and did great on them, but his accent was so thick, he was late almost every day, and almost every student failed the tests based off what I saw. The lectures and hw are almost completely unrelated to the test.

HORRIBLE professor. Do NOT take. Everything he yaps in class and the hw he assigns has nothing to do with the exams. Does not prepare you for any exams so it's just all self study. Does not explain work, answer questions, or help students. Failed me by 1 point on the final and at least half the class dropped or failed. Good luck

Took him in the fall, I know you're probably thinking, "he can't be that bad" DO NOT TAKE HIM, UNLESS YOURE A MATH GENIUS, DO NOT TAKE HIM, DOESNT EXPLAIN ANYTHING

Nice guy but does not know how to teach. When asked question he is kinda rude and doesn't explain it well. He won't give you any hints or valid review about what's on the test, it's like he doesn't want you to do good. There is the HW and take home quizzes that will help boost your grade. He knows math but not how to explain it.

please do not. I never write reviews but i just had to for this one. AVOID HIM, DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS, WORST PROF EVER. I THINK MORE THAN HALF OF THE CLASS FAILED.
