I had fun in his class. He's pretty easygoing and relaxed. Tests are a bit challenging. Take good notes and read the book, and you'll get an A for sure. I had the most fun in his class compared to other classes I've taken at Peirce. Also gave extra credit to help the students out!
Incredible teacher. Definetely one of my favorites. He loves teaching and makes learning enjoyable. Also really cares if you understand and is willing to help. Homework is a must, but it's relatively easy and helps you understand more. Take him if you can
You will need to take good notes cause his tests are based on them. He is also very entertaining with his examples he used in class.
nice guy. very considerate. make sure you do all your homework and pay attention and you'll be fine.
Lim is the best teacher I have seen so far. He's very clear about what he wants you to do, his lectures are fun, and you don't have any hw except reading the book. If you read the book and your notes you'll get a good grade. Grade is based on the tests. I highly recomend this teacher. I'd take another course with him!! A+++++++++
Best and easiest Psych prof. ever. Keeps the class interesting. GO TO CLASS because a lot of his test questions come directly from lecture. Study lecture notes and read chp = A. He's the coolest, don't believe me? Miss your first test date and ask him for a make-up. You'll see... =]
Prof lim is cool, the tests are hard but if u read the book youll get it, his really cool and laid back. very helpful and will help u. there is hw but only about 4 or 5 questions each day and u can copy from back of book. so yeah his chill.
Cool guy, understanding. Attendance is "mandatory" but not necessary if you have the ability to read and learn the book yourself. Just show up on Lab days and you'll be set. I failed two tests horribly (didn't study) but I made up for it by kicking extreme ass (100%+) on two tests including the final. It's possible, so do it!
He was intimidating. Only helpful & nice to students he knew, causlly talked with, & had a better understanding of the material. Not too nice to students who didn't understand. Didn't like teaching style: taught the lesson the next day after you did the homework for it. Confusing his formulas w/the book's. Tests are hard. Need to read the book too.
Very nice guy, tries to be intimidating but he is an old softie. Cares very much about your grade, just expects you to care just as much. Tests are everything and are pretty easy, just "oddly" worded questions. Don't be afraid to ask him to clarify on the tests. Do the HW, it's very easy. Answers in the back. He's a fun professor. Enjoy.
Hes a Great Prof, however, you need to study! I studied at least 2 hours everyday, just to maintain a C average. He will make you work, but, you will learn a lot.
Took this class during the summer and it is SUCH an easy A. If you passed algebra, you can pass this class with flying colors. Lim himself is kind of weird though. He likes to flirt with a lot of girls and definitely has favorites.
this is an average prof. reads off a powerpoint and has 5 tests . they arent too difficult but this class isnt a piece of cake
awesome teacher, very clear & helpful. clear/forward lectures, very thorough reviews b4 exams. he gives you everything you need to get no less than an A. he's also very understanding & approachable. *obviously, it's the student's job to use what the prof. gives you & LEARN, so don't cry if you have to study a little...
Just a heads up to all others considering taking Stats: DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY'S CLASS, particularly if math is not your subject. Perser is a much better and clear teacher. I couldn't stand his class, I dropped it at the last minute because I just couldn't handle his lack of clarity. Beware...
Everything you need for the Exam are from class notes. I don't know why the person before me is complaining but Statistics requires knowledge of MATH!
Stats is a very difficult & hard subject. Professor Lim made it easier to understand. Lets you use a sheet of notes on test. Is always willing and available to help students. Organized & clear lectures. Stats is still difficult; make sure you STUDY! Material gets a lot harder toward the end. Professor Lim was great.
Watch out, he pickes his favorates. If you are not holding an A he won't pay atention to you. He will tell you are studying the minum when your studying 24 hours a week, chatise you in class, ask you questions that is non of his buisness in front of the class, tell you yes on every question you ask him and find out in the book he lied to you.
Great guy, difficult teacher. Tests are hard if you're not good at math in general and hw is a waste of time, it doesnt help bc the answers are in the back of the book and who has time for hw? we have labs... still dont know why cuz we do nada in them. overall a difficult class and im a student with a 3.5 gpa
He is a great professor. He is very easy to follow but you must go to class. He is very helpful and very fair when it comes to grading.
this guy sucks and is very annoying, he is always trying to make jokes but they are stupid! Avoid taking this teacher because you will never get anything right even if you think you do. hard class and a hard grader!
Horrible teacher!! He basically reads off power point and tells students to print his notes from online, but then goes so slow during lecture to wait for people to copy them. He cannot teach the material AT ALL!! I would NOT RECOMMEND taking him unless you are already great at stats.
You have to read the book and rely on his lectures to do well in this class. I decided to drop because it too much work.
He said that completing stats is like proving to future bosses we are trainable in any thing. I'm not going to UCLA so who cares!
I agree with one of the comment below that he makes his lecture available to everyone but some students are to poor to print them out for class thats why i drop because stats lecture is so slow.
He's a really fun teacher. Very interesting and outgoing. Attendence isnt mandatory, but i hightly suggest you go. he does powerpoint lectures and has them on line. he has 5 exams, but he posts a study guide on line. it's a good class and interesting too. good for psych majors.
Hes not going to give out free A's but if you try hard enough and put yourself out there you have a good chance with him. Got an A!
I ended up with an A in the class.. but I studied for HOURS before each exam and got A's on all of them. He is a nice guy and interested in his students. He does pick favorites (I was one of them). If you don't go to class his lectures don't make sense. If you're dedicated, smart, and can tolerate boredom... take this class.
I got a C b/c i stopped going to lectures. I thought that the class was easy b/c i had A's on the first 3 exams & ALL CLASS NOTES were on his site. I was wrong to skip class! The online handouts aren't enough to get u through. Every test ur allowed to bring a cheat sheet, but u wont get an easy A if you don't go to class & study A LITTLE.
you HAVE to go to class and pay attention in order to understand the material. you could get lost if you just rely on the power points he puts up online. dont take this class if youre looking for an easy A. youre going to have to study and work for it.
great teacher. easy to approach, reasonable, and very clear on lectures. but if you don't go to class you'll get totally lost, so just go even though attendance isnt mandatory
knows how to keep lectures interesting with funny jokes and side notes. not necessarily and easy class, but show up and do the study guides, you should do fine. great professor, easy to approach, willing to slow down and explain if there are questions- and hes always interested in students questions/ feedback.
I attended Professor Lim's class a few years ago and had to withdraw due to some health issues. I returned to Pierce college specifically so I could retake his Statictic's class. He has a remarkable skill in breaking down the material so it can be easily understood by the class. Hard work and attendance is required for his class. Amazing Teacher!
Somewhat hard prof. You need to study! Will explain/slow down if asked. Petty, tho, and plays a lot of head games. Likes to upset students with surprise quizzes that turn out to be for practice. Says he doesn't care if students miss class but then gets VERY upset at everyone else when class is 1/2 full. Germiphobe, has OCD, resents this website.
He is very nice and helpful if asked. Normally I hate it when a teacher uses a Power point, but it is very helpful when teaching Stats. Tests are part multi-choice and part calculation. If you show up to every class and pay attention, there is no reason to do bad in the class. Personally, I take the notes in the class rather than the PP from online
PROF LIM IS REALLY COOL!I HAD MY UPS AND DOWNS IN HIS CLASS BUT HIS BOOK IS REALLY REALLY HELFUL.. AND IF YOU REVIEW THE MATERIAL YOU WILL DEF. GET A GOOD GRADE. I REFERED TO SOME OF MY FRIENDS WHO ALSO TOOK STATS BUT WITH OTHER PROF. AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS HELL. HIS CLASS IS CHILL IN TERMS OF VIBE, HE CRACKS JOKE AND IS REASONABLE. HIGHLY RECOM!
Awesome Professor, great style of teaching!
He likes to talk about himself a lot and makes a lot of bad jokes, but nonetheless a pretty clear stats teacher. Attendance isn't mandatory but his slides don't contain all the info he gives in class and puts on exams. Overall an easy class, but it's better to attend his lectures than trying to learn it on your own.
BE AWARE! This guy may have nots online but you still have to go to class. Its to much work!!!!!!!
He don't help students! I was 1 percent from a B and still got a C in teh classes. But is nice to students.
dont take this dirtbag, wont help you if you are failing, gets pissed when you fail his tests, thinks he is God of Stats and slide shows, sits there and is full of himself
pros: not a hard class, if you are okay in math and go to class you'll get an A or definitely a B (however you can't half a$$ the material you gatta study at least the day before the test). Cons: the professor is a real dbag. he's full of himself and it shows. grow up Lim, if you're truly smart u'll never make others feel like they're below u.
I really hate this man with a passion! I got a 68% in the class overall and he gave me a D! I hate statistics as it is a very hard subject and it seems that he makes it even harder. He gives no sympathy for tardiness and will mark you down for every little detail. Terrible atmosphere, terrible class, take with Graham, he is really the best.
Class was difficult-- but it should be! Tests include a lot of material from the book, so make sure to study the concepts from lecture and understand the terminology from the book.
I personally thought he was a great Professor. Attendance is mandatory but not enough. If you want an A you must read the text also. He doesn't cover every detail in class on purpose. If you try hard and he see's it then he'll be a little generous w/ your grade at the end of the semester. PS he's a pretty funny guy so class was fun too, sometimes.
I don't know why everyone is hating on this guy. I'm taking his class right now and I really like it. Yes, sometimes it's tough material and you have to study. But other than that the guy is funny and it's not hard to pay attention to him. His tests aren't so bad either. Take this class!
He's great. I felt like really there was just a new formula for each chapter and that was it. Not too hard to understand. He's really funny and all the people that think he's mean and full of himself need to calm down and realize he's JOKING. Get a sense of humor. Take him if you want the easy version of stats!
His stats class is kinda hard, but what stats class isn't. I finished with a B. However, my complaint is why is this guy the department chair when he looks 15. He is not suitable for that title because he does not take action when you need him to. Hennessey 4 chair!
He is the chair, but probably the worst teacher in the entire department. Do not take his class. Useless teaching style and will not help you.
I really enjoyed this class. He made statistics fun and easy to learn. If you have problems don't be afraid to ask, he was very helpful. He was also funny and upbeat which made the class enjoyable. TAKE THIS CLASSS
No Homework, Test every other week. Doesnt tell you what pages to study. Expects you to understand the slides without explaining them fully. Always talking to the attractive girl in the class for like 10-15 minutes every class. Not very helpful. Good personality. Need i say more? I wouldnt have taken if i knew all this but really its up to you.
I can see why some students may find him hard because he doesn't assign "homework" like it's high school all over again and he can move a bit fast sometimes. However, you are still expected to study for exams and attend class, although his powerpoints cover most(not all) of lecture. If you'e fairly decent in math, as you should be prior to, easy A!
I'm terrible @ math & dreaded taking statistics. I had taken it the previous semester but withdrew from the class because the teacher was terrible. Dr. Lim was nice & always making sure his students understood the material before moving on. Tests are fair. Most material covered on PowerPoint slides he makes available online. Overall, good class.
Professor Lim does not babysit. The only way you can succeed in this class is of you HAVE THE BOOK, do all the work and go to all of the classes. He is very entertaining in lecture, but KEEP UP with the book work. Very predictable tests, he goes over EVERYTHING if you ask. I was really afraid of statistics - it's a tough class. This teacher is good
Good teacher. Makes statistics fun and easy. Exams are not too difficult as long as you go to class and read the chapters. I recommend him!
He is the best professor I have ever met. He genuinely cares about students' progress. You will fall in love in psychlogy because of his clever interpretations and eloquent explanations. A great professor deserves waiting--he is no exception. If you try to add to his class you must attend the first class early. Professor Lim is a idol!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. HE DOES A VERY GOOD JOB AT EXPLAINING THE MATERIAL. A few scan tron tests but he gives a study guide. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. (Psych 1)
very fun professor. enjoyed going to class! grade consists of 6 tests and a final. nothing more. this class is designed only for people in which math clicks---if math clicks, youll succeed
Great as long as you see math as a game. He provides the formulas for each test. 6 Test & 1 Final. He not only wants you to succeed in statistics, but to understand it. You'll enjoy his class. He is quite the character.
Ok, to me, math is very difficult, and I don't care for word problems and of the like (few here). So when I took this class, I kinda enjoyed it! Professor Lim is a funny guy. You take SIX tests & a final which helped me out alot. He waits until everyone writes down/understands the lecture.Take him! I did OKAY, because math isn't my strong suit.
Professor lim is absolutely brilliant at what he does. He's nice, funny, and super easy (that's only if you go to class and take notes.) I learned a lot about life in his class, it's really interesting. Def taking him for stats
Hands down best stats teacher at Pierce. He wants you to pass mainly because he wants you to graduate and pay for his social security checks. He is funny, and very helpful. He modifies formulas so they are easier to learn. As well as gives you them on test, its hard not to pass. 6 exams with a final. I would recommend Prof. Lim for Stats.
Professor Lim is a funny, knowledge professor in Stats. Wants you to pass, sometimes teaches you two formulas and lets you choose the easiest formula to use on the exam. Class is based on 6 exams and a final. First half of the semester is conceptional,and second half more punching numbers with different formulas. I highly recommend him for stats.
Great professor! He is really hands on and knows his material! He has the class practice the formulas so you can be accustomed to them. Take him for stats! I wish I could have his class again. I'm at CSUN and my current prof doesn't cut it. Lim is just awesome (and funny)!
NOT A EASY TEACHER. BUT IS GOOD AT TEACHING THE CLASS. HE IS NOT THAT HELPFUL. YOU HAVE TO STUDY A LOT. 7 TEST AND HE DOES NOT DROP ANY OF THEM.
Wonderful teacher and is very helpful. Ask if you need help. He's fast, but if you ask him to slow down, he will. Show up to class take notes, study, and you will do well. Dr. Lim is such a great teacher!!! Honestly, I looked forward to his lectures.
He is so cool and fun. Take this class!! You can get an A if you read the book or his powerpoints. He gives great study sheets before test. :)
Incredible professor. Will go out of his way to insure everyone in the class understands the material! Stats was my least favorite subject, thanks to him I now love it! Hes easy going, nice, friendly, and just an amazing person. TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET! && You will learn a lot from him.
Professor Lim is freaking hilarious. When I took him for Stats last year, he definitely gave us a good first impression. Sure, he may come off as a jerk at times, but deep down he really cares. His lessons are precise and clear. Read your textbook and your slide notes! The tests' level of difficulty depends on your willingness to study.
Okay let me just say, I absolutely hated math before I took his class, now I love it! I'm a freshman and have been in his class for 5 weeks now. He's super funny and very clear in his teaching. He makes the class very enjoyable. You'll love him. To pass him: attend class, read the book , study your notes/his power points. And That's seriously it!!!
DO NOT take this class if you have a hard time with Stats. HE DOESNT HELP and when he does he's very rude.He's The typical lecturing teacher who talks all class and you take 20 page notes (literally) out of his pp. Test=xtremely hard no xtra xredit. Really regret taking this class.
I took his class in the Spring, and he's a great instructor. He is both a jokester and insightful. His lectures are mainly through powerpoints, so take very good notes, read the textbook, and do A LOT of practice problems and you will definitely do well.
Contrary to the last comment, I do all of the problems in the book very well; he even say so, but I've failed every test. His PPT's are confusing, cuts up sentences. Talks super low. Take if math is already your thing.
Professor Lim is by far one of my favorite instructors! His tests are based on the power points so make sure to take notes, but if you can't then the slides are on his website. Also, he gave us study guides which helped a lot. He waits for you to retain the information before going on. I highly recommend him!
Great Professor. Hard class. Gives jokes to help you reference statistical methods. Truly wants you to enjoy, understand and pass class. Good person.
Professor Lim teaches very well and is super clear. His tests are exactly what he teaches you. No surprises at all. He is funny and tries to make the class go by fast. As long as you study and show up you can get an A easily. Your grade is based on 6 tests and a final. He gives you a study guide before each test.
His class was not very hard at all. His powerpoints slides were the most helpful to understand material for exams. He wants everyone to pass, so just put in effort and at least get a C
awesome prof. u want to get an A and have fun. go get him...
He provides lecture, explanations and in class examples. Do practice problems, ask for help, remember what he says after he says "This is important" 3 times, becasue it's important.
a very good professor. he's very helpful and make sure that you understand the material. I would say attendance is mandatory because he gives a lot of ezra credit for the exams and i would also say show up in time he usually gives the extra credit first thing.
One of the best teachers ever! easiest class i have taken. most of his exams in psych come from the definitions on the text book. he gives a study guide every time and an extra credit assignment at the end of the semester. funny and knowldgable! DEFINITELY TAKE THE CLASS WITH HIM
Great professor very helpful he pretty much GIVES you all the questions that are going to be on the exam a class prior. and clarifies until the end of class if need be. I hear a lot of negative comments on the Stats classes and I have no clue regarding their courses, but given he's a Psychologist, he's passionate about the class and you can see it.
AMAZING professor. All you have to do is take notes listen to his lecture and study a bit from the books and the tests are easy A's.
Amazing professor. He can be funny and makes class fun. A lot of the exam questions he gives in class before the exam. If you listen an take notes his class will be essay. Go to class everyday bc he give points for attendance. Hes a psychologist so hes very passoinate. I highy recommened him
i took this class without checking his grade on this site.i found the class very easy.no attendance is mandatory.i just read by myself and i got A+.i was wondering why some people consider this class hard when i checked his grade by chance.take this class!!
AWESOME PROFESSOR! FAIR EXAMS! EXTRA CREDIT! NO HOMEWORK! FUNNY AND MAKES YOU ENJOY LEARNING THE COURSE! TAKE HIM! GOT AN A+ IN HIS CLASS :D
Very cool teacher. He's smart and funny. The class is pretty easy, just go to class and read the notes. He gives you practice tests the day before tests. He also gives you all the formulas you need. Its very basic math so don't worry if you're bad at it. I got an A without the textbook. In the end you learn a lot.
Best professor at Pierce College! Took him twice for Stats and he was amazing. The information is very tough especially if you don't show up or study. He will help you as long as you ask for it, and he makes the classes as fun as they can be. Grades are all based on tests and final exam. If you're going to take Stats, take it with Lim!
Fun and easy class! Must take, highly recommend him.
My favorite professor at Pierce. He is an excellent teacher. If you go to class every day and review your notes you'll get an A. I ended up getting a B because I skipped a few classes in the end thinking I had it because everything else was A's. Just make sure you go to class. Never once have to use a text book. Funny, smart and helpful! Take him!
One of the best professors at Pierce. His class is very easy as long as you take notes, the exams are very easy and all you have to do is study from the study guides. I would highly recommend him, he is very nice and passionate at what he teaches. Take him!! you wont regret.
This class is not too hard unless you don't study. If you don't study, you will do poorly, especially as the material builds off each other. I'm not going to lie, Dr. Lim can be annoying. He also tries to be friends with the class and cares too much about what people think of him, especially on this website. haha. He gets the job done though.
one of the bests take him
I first took professor Lim for stats 1 and he was the same as he is in psych 1, hilarious and really nice. His lectures last all through class but he makes it fun. I would recommend to attend every class meeting. Test are fair just study his notes and read the book, it helps fill in the gaps. Great teacher!!!
LOVE THIS GUY! Super funny and knowledgable! As for teaching he is very clear so long as you pay attention. Six exams with a final. Just follow along in his lectures and take notes and you will get an A.
Prof. Lim is a great person but be prepared to self-study before the exams. If you read the chapters and learn all of the terms the tests are SO EASY. You really don't need to attend class except for the test days, although he does sometimes give extra credit for participation. He also gives real life examples which helps a lot :) take him!
Lim is hilarious & sweet - Print out his powerpoints & just take notes on them, TRUST. He presents those powerpoints during lecture with just a little more info to add - No hw - Tests require studying of the powerpoints - A couple weeks before the final, go to his office hours & continually look at previous tests! Take him, he cares about students
He is well inform and makes lecture go by quick, his class is based on test. Test can be hard if you don't study, barely gives extra credit. Expect about 6 test, no homework and study for the final!
the guys a quack
This professor was amazing!! EASY A but you will learn. He is a great teacher, lectures are funny and interesting. After every chapter you get a 50 question exam on the chapter. The day before he gives you the exam he gives you topics that will be on the exam. Take him! On days that not many people show up he gives extra credit! No textbook needed.
Didn't really lecture as much as read his power points word for word. Be prepared to read and learn on your own. Read your text or you will be lost. The tests can be tricky with his wording. Amazing person not so great as a professor
If psychology is your major do not take his class. He does not actually teach he only gives you terms to find and memorize for the test and then he plays some videos. Really not good for a college student!
best one
best of the best
lovely
One of the beSt professors out there! He keeps it interesting during lectures. On the day of the exams, he would give us "pop-quizes" and give the class a chance to review for the tests with him. Very accommodating. His class is one of the biggest classes on campus. That's how much students love him. That's something from a weekday afternoon class.
Hands down one of the most energetic and comedic professors i have had. Once you can get past his relentless humor, he is a great teacher. He gives "pop quizzes" on test days and answers any questions that you might have. He lectures straight from the powerpoint, so you can study straight from that but it is definitely worth going to class.
Dr. Lim is by FAR the best professor I've had at Pierce College. He shows you that he truly cares and he genuinely wants all of his students to do well and pass. Tests are EASY, show up for the lecture, take down your notes, and you're good to go! He's worth taking!
Dr. Lim best Stats professor @ Pierce! I previously began 2 other stats classes with 2 other professors and had to drop because they were too fast and didn't answer my questions properly. I don't do well in class for math so I went to his office hrs & he weekly spent time helping me. 1 tst evry 2 wks (this helps split the info) and the final.
Cute! Professor Lim was hands-down my favorite Spring 2016 professor. I suffer from math anxiety but was pleasantly surprised at how clearly prof. Lim explained the material. I got my A and feel empowered by my success. I could not have done it without prof. Lim's humor and his interactive teaching style. P.S. He likes dark chocolate.
best possible statistics teacher you can have. the class was incredibly easy. he teaches very clearly and there are no surprises on exams. test basically every other week. multiple choice and written.
If you have problems with math then you should definitely take him! He makes the subject easy to understand and FUNNY! No homework so it's all based on tests. His notes are online but attendance is important for lectures. All you use the book for is the tables at the back so it's up to you if you want to buy it. His notes and lectures are enough.
Great Professor. He takes you through the little steps first and builds you up for the harder stuff. We do a ton of in class problems and get no homework therefore it is only to your benefit to show up everyday and on time. I took the summer session so I had test at the end of the week, easy if you reviewed his notes and mastered example problems.
he is really cool and super adorable. Most of the exam questions are from the notes we take in class and from the book so read. he tries to make class fun while staying on topic. it was just exams and lectures, there were about 8 exams.
Dr. Lim was phenomenal!! In one word he was AMAZING!! He would make sure that everyone in the class got the material or else he wouldn't move on to the next chapter. The most CARING Prof. you can ever get at Pierce College. Take STAT with prof. Lim or you're going to regret it.
Dr. Raymond Lim! He will give you enough rope to hang yourself everyday on a loop or pass with flying colors! That's who he is! Gotta love the man! "Applause.... Applause"
Dr. Lim is a total troll, but in the good way. He is fun in class and knows what he is teaching. You have to show up for class, HAVE TO! I would definitely recommend him as he is extremely friendly.
Professor Lim is one of the most caring and charismatic professors I have had. He truly cares about his students and makes the class so easy and flexible for everyone. Seriously, it is such an easy A and you will definitely learn statistics. Take him!
He is an awesome professor, He is very funny, and caring. Would give you extra credit. I would totally recommend him and I will be taking him for Stats 1.
One of the most amazing professors out there. A fair grader who cares about his students and wants everyone to pass. He does lecture a lot but his tests are exactly what you learned in class and whats in the his lectures. But be sure to read the book because there some problems on the exam that were from the book and not really mentioned in lecture
Amazing teacher. Made me enjoy going to class. Learned a lot from him.
Professor Lim was an outstanding teacher. He says the funniest things and he also genuinely cares for us as students. His tests are pretty solid and he lets us use a 6x8 notecard, which is a lifesaver. He makes Psych interesting and he also randomly gives extra credit. Would totally recommend.
Professor Lim is an amazing professor! He is so funny! He gives out extra credit so definitely show up for class! He doesn't leave you homework, it's just the exams you need to pass! He also lets you use note cards for exams! He really cares about his students! You don't use the textbook in class but do need it to study for exams!
Professor Lim is awesome. He cracks jokes and is hilarious. No homework, but provides note cards for his exams. Make sure you don't skip out on class because he does give extra credit on light days that can bump you a letter grade.
When I wanted to take his class I came here and saw the good review of him so I decided to take this course with this proffesor. For first couple weeks over 10 students dropped his class. Yess he's very mean and tough in his own ways. Be ready for the exams. You wont get an A from it. Theres always something that wasnt in his lecture.
Professor lim is a very nice man with the ladies in front low!! Spending one semester seeing this guy talking to this girls and making jokes. Over 18 people failed his class. Im amazed how he gets so many good grades. I got a B in his class but I had 3 A in my other ones. I wont see him anymore. Wish you guys do take him seriously too
Very hard in his tests. If you take his class you need to spend 3 hours studying his course. So many papers and lectures. There are many better proffesors than him. I made a mistake for first time. Having a C in my record and wouldnt recommen him to anyone in pierce college
First time I saw him I thought he's nice but after couple weeks he changed to a completly different person. they tests are so hard and the lectures are easy. you think you will get an A but you wont. And also he's not one time. 15 to 20 min late for breaks and keeps everyone till last min
If you show up to all of his classes, pay attention and study outside class like he tells you to, you will most likely be able to get an A. His tests aren't easy but they are VERY fair. They will seem easy if you do what he tells you to do. Also, he gives out pop quizzes but they weren't part of the final grade. He just wanted to freak us out.
All his notes are online, print them out! In the beginning his test are multiple choice heavy but as the semester progresses the test will be graded on written formula work. He gives you all the formulas on the test. book not needed. pop quizzes are practice, so they aren't counted toward your grade. He is very fair and just pay attention in class.
I took Lim for summer Stats. The class was easy at first and he spent a lot of time going through the material but then he started speeding through very hard material towards the end. He is sarcastic and fun but teaches well. He understands and helps his students. Your entire class grade though (during summer at least) is based off of 5 tests :(
One of the best professors I've had!! I plan on taking another class of his either the fall or the spring not sure yet. He has all his notes posted so you can just print them out and follow along. He makes sure we understand the material but his tests are hard. Make sure you study a lot!! Overall he is amazing and great (:
Math has always been my worst subject, but Professor Lim broke it down in a way that made it clear and actually stuck. His lectures are long but helpful for the exams, as are the pop quizzes he gives which are not part of your grade,theyre just for practice. Attendance is a must as you will easily fall behind.
My class got lucky to have Dr. Lim as its professor because our original professor was unable to teach the semester for personal reasons. From day one Dr. Lim was clear, that we will need to read, he provides all the slides he lectures about in class. He answers all questions and available during office hours, or email.
This guy is a joke of a teacher and he shouldn't be teaching. With that said, his class is really easy if you can sit through all of his boring lectures. All this guy does is read from his slides, he is funny I'll give him that. Also, all of your grade will come from his tests so be prepared! He tests are over his lectures and the BOOK!
Dr. Lim is one of the greatest professor I've ever had. He is willing to put in the effort and work to make sure every student understands this somewhat difficult subject. He always says, "I'm not here for the A students, I'm here for the C and D students who are willing to put in the work to get a better grade." He means it. He's simply amazing.
Professor Lim was one of the coolest professors. He takes the time to explain the material and he will go over until you get it. You used the book for the tables only. I never thought statistics would be this fun and easy. He is very funny and makes the class fun and entertaining. The grading is very straightforward and clear.
He is so funny and wants to make sure that everyone of his students understands the material. His class is more math based so you really need to practice the material to do well on the tests.
Great professor! Dont skip his class, study guide is provided and its exactly the same questions on the exams. Need text book.
If you're taking psych 1 because it's required and not because you're a psych major, Lim's intro class is perfect. He teaches you everything you need to know at a basic level, makes it very clear what you will be tested on, and tests are easy. Lim knows psychology well but doesn't go too into detail for 001, so not recommended for psych majors
Ok so professor Lim is funny and charming and is indeed a good teacher. My issues with him are with his class structure. He only gives grades for tests and organizes them in a way where they're extremely hit or miss. He'll have a couple Q's and make each worth a ridiculous amount of points, so if you miss ONE question you're automatically at a D.
Get ready to read, because he doesn't teach very well. Lim constantly boasts about personal responsibility, yet he can't even show up to class 5 minutes early.
I give him an F as a professor. Very careless and comes to class late.
He teaches as if we all are familiar with this, god forbid its our first statistic class!
Doesn't go over material at all. He uses the answers students got and never actually works out the problem.
This professor acts like a know it all and is very hard to actually learn from. His tests have problems that are neither from his class or from the textbook you have to buy.
Statistics is not an easy subject to learn but Professor Lim makes it pleasantly simple to learn. It is your personal responsibility to review the notes and practice the problems that were done during class, and you'll pass! He will explain further if you do ask him to review material you did not understand. I'd definitely take his class again!
Professor Lim is amazing. Stats is hard but he makes it easy by taking his time to explain the concepts. All of his PowerPoints r online and can print them and bring to class. His tests r all based on the PowerPoint slides that he does during his lecture. If u study the slide u will pass the class.
Very hard class with a very bad teacher. Would not recommend. I failed and went to EVERY class , bought the book, asked questions, took tedious amounts of notes, studies A LOT, went to tutoring, was early every day. I think you have to be a hot girl or bribe him. I tried very hard and it is my 3rd time taking the course. I have 130 iq and failed.
Hes pretty cool lol
He explains everything very clearly. If you don't understand something he will go over it. Stats is complicated but he gives you all the materials you need to pass. Lectures are all online.
He is really funny, which makes the long lectures more bearable to sit through. He grades based off of 6 exams rather than a midterm and a final, which is nice. Didn't really need to use the textbook. All lecture notes are online, and he allowed us to each have a notecard during tests. Also offers some extra credit.
Best professor ever. I would take his class over and over again. amazing!!. take his class you wont regret it!!
I don't care what the other reviews say, this professor here CARES about your success. Yes, there's a lot of tests but they're each only 16% so if you bomb 1, you can still pass with a high grade. He helped me pass the class I've struggled in the most and I couldn't be more thankful. He'll give you all the help you need, just PUT IN THE EFFORT!
A mediocre teacher & yeah he did let the students use a flashcard for every test but the lectures was pointless to go to because all of it is on the PowerPoint slide on canvas & he literally reads off it. Then try to make a story or gets distracted. Also, mostly the "study guide" is not on the test. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!
He is a great professor that uses his best of knowledge to help encourage students to pass. As if proving he is a psychology professor he definitely has his way of getting students to continue studying. Obviously if you are a lazy student that doesn't even attempt to study this class will be hard. Do ur part and this class will be amazing.
Doctor Lim is passionate about his classes, and tries his best to always make sure you understand his material. Show up to class, take notes, and you should be good. His classes are big, but he almost always makes time to speak to you after class or during office hours. His class is as easy as you make it for yourself.
I took him for STAT 001 in the fall and I have to say that he was a very good professor. He likes to crack jokes, and isn't afraid to answer questions thoroughly if need be. The class itself can get pretty boring at times, but that was only because it was lecturing for almost 3 hours (of course there were breaks in between). Tests are fair too.
Professor Lim is really nice. He wants everyone to succeed. You must have to be in the class to understand stuff and will only have to study at least 3 hours a week to get an A in his class. Take him
If you need to pass stats, TAKE HIM! He will break it down to its simplest form. He was recommended to me by my coworker, and I do not regret it. He gives you the formulas on the test, and his lab is extremely easy. If you fail this class, you didnt try. Hilarious and intelligent. Made Stats class enjoyable and a cakewalk. Thank you Lim!
Amazing guy, I have so much respect for this guy, the best professor that Ive had so far! He is a funny and nice and he teaches you the material, I strongly recommend you take him for Psychology 1, you wont regret it! He is very funny btw so preorder to laugh a lot!
He's one of the best professors at pierce. very funny guy and pretty easy A. If you dont want a dull class, take him. totally recommend!!
He's an amazing professor! I recommend him! The class is based on exams and they are very straightforward. He will help you if you are lost! Even online. Watch the videos and if you are still stuck, read the book. There isn't actually any homework, just exams (The final is simple multiple choices and writing). You will pass if you put effort. :)
Professor Lim is absolutely amazing. He's hilarious and makes sure everyone understands the material. I've never met a professor who cared so much for the success of his students. In fact, at times I felt as if he was doing a disservice to the rest of his students by dumbing-down the material, because THAT'S how much he cares for everyone to pass.
If you are not good at math or can not teach yourself, do not take this class. He is as formulaic as his teaching style: comes into class, spouts whatever this subject is about, and then walks out. You ask for help and he doesn't give you an easy to understand answer. It really says something when our average test scores where Cs.
I was very scared to take stats because I am horrible at math, but he made this class very easy to understand. The only assignments are tests. Also, there are some lab assignments to help you understand the formulas, but he does not grade you on them. Very good class and very good professor! Loved it.
I meant to rate him 5/5 for my review: I was very scared to take stats because I am horrible at math, but he made this class very easy to understand. The only assignments are tests. Also, there are some lab assignments to help you understand the formulas, but he does not grade you on them. Very good class and very good professor! Loved it.
Professor Lim is amazing. Take him you wont regret it, I was terrified of Math and especially Stats. He was supportive, replied to emails promptly and would clarify any confusion. You do have to pay attention, as the tests matter-so try your best and if your confused just reach out to him!
Great online professor. Doesnt make the class impossible. You can easily understand the concepts he gives you via his powerpoints and the videos he links you to. I got a C for neglecting this class but its easy to get an A.
This class may be hard but if Professor Lim is one of the most caring and helpful professors I have ever had. Doesn't matter the time of the day, if you need help, he jumps on a call with you. He cares and it shows. He loves his students and wants everyone to succeed. If you are struggling just reach out and he will ALWAYS take the time to respond.
I took this class having not taken math for 3 years. Went into it thinking there would be videos of him lecturing but no. Only khan academy. His tests were very confusing and not clear, he doesnt give clear instructions for you need for your answers. Im a 4.0 student but this class might bring my GPA down.
This professor was recommended to me by my counselor as something like a 'great math teacher that really works with the students and makes passing the class easy'. I am both an honors student and excellent at math, but I did not find my counselor's comments to be true. 4-5 quizzes determine your whole grade, and they are taken from a different text
Take him if you dont know math well! There are no live or recorded lectures but hey you can find anything on YouTube! He provides very specific videos from Chan Academy and even gives extra credit at the end. Great course trust me, I dropped my awful previous stats and in comparison with that one - it was a breath of fresh air. Passed with an A
Great professor and makes it easy to understand the material. There are no zoom lectures so you have to read the book and watch the videos. If there is something you do not understand do not wait until the last minute and set up a call with him. He is great at explaining and responds fast. If you do your work you will get an A.
Trust me I dont rate professors but this professor just made my first year in college so much easier for me so I just had to do this. He provides what to read and his quiz is always straight forward. Take him you definitely pass.
Dr. Lim is hands down the best teacher I have ever had, when I say he's a good, teacher I mean he can really make some of the concepts of statistics really easy. I'll say it like this, I have never gotten a grade higher than a B in any math class and I have never found math as an easy topic but Dr. Lim makes it easy and I ended up with an A.
This was my favorite class and probably easiest A of the semester. Lectures are interesting, free online textbook. Grade is all exam based (6 exams) and he lets you use a huge note card on every test. Everything on the test is in his lecture notes and on top of that he gives you a study guide before hand.
Dr. Lim was an amazing Professor. He really cares about his students and makes sure to be there when you ask him for help. Coming from an Asian student you may think that since he is an Asian professor he would be strict but he isn't he speaks clearly and his tests are straightforward. An amazing teacher would 100% take this class again.
His class is easy as long as you read whats provided as well as whats in the book homework is very helpful I would recommend before taking quizzes and tests.
BEST TEACHER!!!!! IF YOU WANTED TO LEARN STATISTIC AND ALSO YOU WANT TO DIVE DEEPER AND THIS TEACHER IS FOR YOU
The asynchronous course was fairly easy and well-structured. 12 quizzes make up your entire grade so it's an easy workload but one low score makes a huge dent in your grade. If you make the time to go over your quiz with him, he will give you back partial credit and raise your score. Honestly very nice professor, really cares about student success.
One of the best professors! He is caring and makes sure his students understand everything. Friendly and everyone's involved throughout the lecture. You will enjoy the class and learn at the same time.
Definitely recommend taking his online course! You get two assignments and one quiz each week. All the assignments are that you need to watch videos weekly and just write one page video summary about the video. Free online text book as well, you just need to read the assigned chapters in order to pass the quiz. All is super easy to pass!
This is the easiest psychology class! I took him during the winter break, and he just assigns two video summaries per week and a 50-question test as well. The class looks a bit unorganized but you can email and he will answer quickly. I totally recommend him.
Take STAT 1 with Professor LIM. You'll have six quizzes divided into two parts: the first is ten to twelve multiple choice questions that are very easy, and the second is three questions that you will have plenty of time to solve. He assists you with six lab assignments. If you watch the lectures and take the practice quizzes, you'll get an easy A.
After being here for 2 full years, Dr. Lim is officially the best professor on campus. He is the sweetest, funniest man you will ever meet. He WILL NOT move on unless everyone understands the material. You have to participate or you will not pass this class. Text book wasnt used much just used a few pages. BUT TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!
Professor Lim is an amazing professor. His lectures are really informative and helpful. He is a pretty funny guy too and makes class something that you will want to come to. He gives out study guides that are immensely helpful too. In addition to that, he posts all his lecture notes in Canvas and a free textbook as well.
Professor Lim is probably the best teacher I've ever had. I would highly recommend taking him for any class that he offers. He genuinely cares about the success of his students and made a really tough subject into a really easy class. If you show up for class and pay attention, this will be one of the easiest A's you'll ever have.
THE. BEST. PROFFESOR. EVER. He genuinely makes his class interesting, this was one of the only classes I have ever had that made me look forward to going there. Super easy going professor with wonderful lectures that give all the info you need to pass. There is a free textbook and you get a SUPER STRAIGHT FORWARD study guide.
JUST TAKE HIS CLASS!!! Dr. Lim is simply the best professor I had. I thought psychology would be mainly about science but I'm glad Dr. Lim talks more about the thinking and behavioral part of psych. He gives great real-life examples, he's goated!
BEST PROFFE
BEST PROFESSOR ON CAMPUS!! If I could take him for all my classes I would not even hesitate too. Very clear lectures notes and vids that help you understand and get through assignments with ease. The class is separated into 6 parts with each section having one lab, one multiple choice exam and one exam with problems to solve.
BEST PROFESSOR! I took him for Stat101 and Psych 1. He genuinely cares about you and will make sure you leave his class understanding what you learned that day. He's always willing to answer any questions. You have a total of 6 exams to take and they aren't too hard as well as long as you pay attention in class. He's also very funny!
Genuinely cares about his students and is passionate about what he's teaching.
Professor Lim is amazing! His lectures are engaging, and he genuinely cares about student success. The workload is manageable, and Unstuck ai was a lifesaver for test prep. Definitely take this class if you can!
He was the worst prof ever! His slides made no sense, I honestly feel like he put little to no thought into it. He never helps either, I tried contacting him multiple times, and maybe he could help me during "office hours" but he never even answered. He would have meetings were he would try to help everyone at once so it obviously didn't work.
Best professor ever!! He's really nice and his class isn't hard at all. Every lecture is posted online so attendance isn't really necessary(only necessary for tests) but it def helps to attend anyway. Your entire is grade is just based on 6 exams including the final (u get cheat sheets + theyre easy)
Great Professor, If you want a good grade, attend class. Powerpoints are posted online in case a class is missed. Cares for students. Grades are based on exams, and around five exams are given alongside an index card that can be used during tests.
Definitely recommend. Very funny and keeps you engaged. Barely any work outside of class. Just make sure to attend class, as the lectures are powerpoint based. Quizzes are pretty easy and you are allowed to use an index card cheat sheet. Professor Lim is very efficient but will still go out of his way to answer any questions/clear up anything.
Ok, you actually have to study if you are not the best with Stats. But "Asian Dad" gives engaging lessons and you will be laughing most of the class. He's a great teacher, and will help break things down. If you don't understand something, you're welcome to his other classes so you can get more practice. Asian Dad is the best though.
Great prof. Had hand written video summaries every week. 50 question quizzes every 2 weeks. Easy A just do your work and don't miss submitting your vid summaries, it'll drop your grade by a bit.
really engaging professor, made learning really simple. he reads these btw, so hi professor
