Don't take him in the summer. If you're expecting to go in with no intention to do work, expect a C without a doubt. He strictly goes by your 4 cumulative exams-if you get a 65 or lower on the first exam, it will be extremely hard for you to even get an A-. He's extremely helpful though, and he hands out a review sheet that's VERY similar to tests

Professor Park is the best professor on campus. He has a great personality- he is hilarious. Im going to miss him. U can tell that he wants everyone to pass. He gives lots of extra credit so show up to class!!! You can bring your review sheets to the test.

Please don't be rude to him. HE WANTS YOU TO PASS. His tests are SUPER easy AND he gives you a review sheet identical to the exam to study beforehand AND you can bring a cheat sheet for each test. He makes a couple of mistakes here and there but he is so sweet and makes all the math super easy

Professor Park is not very good at remote learning, in terms of working Zoom, but he is open to suggestions and tries his best to make sure you are learning and understand the material. He gives review sheets every chapter and the tests are almost identical to them. As long as you know how to solve those problems, you will be fine on the test.

Hes SO NICE. Its hard to follow him in class but going to him after class, he explains really well, just bring your notes to him. Hell stay with you after class as long as possible. Hes always available for extra help. He gives review sheets that are almost identical to his exams. 3 exams, no hw.

he jokes around a lot, never takes anything he says seriously. he curves to those he likes and those who try. This class was the easiest class I've taken this semester. I only joined when going over the review sheet since they're literally the same as. the exam. just follow what he writes. takes points off if you do work your own way. hilarious

I loved Professor Park. At the beginning of each unit, he'll hand out a review sheet that is basically the format of the test. He'll go over how to solve each question thoroughly (and multiple times if you ask him to show it again). Solve the problems EXACTLY how he wants you to on the test and you'll get a guaranteed 90+. tldr: easy+dont slack A

Park is a good professor. He goes through everything step by step and slowly. Some of his flaws however include: (1) makes multiple mathematical errors, (2) very slow, boring and exhausting, (3) handwriting is non-legible sometimes and randomly throws numbers in/out of problems. His review sheets are identical to exam, just different numbers Easy A

You have to teach yourself everything in this class his lectures are very difficult to follow. However, he gives a review sheet at the beginning of each unit and the review sheet is identical to the exam, just different numbers. He wants you to get a good grade, you just have to have a good connection with the class, he caters very well to us

Professor does not teach well at all, and the environment in the classroom is very ageist and makes the problem even worse for those trying to learn something. Class is very easy. Review sheets are nearly identical with test material.

Professor Park makes the course very manageable. His lectures can be tricky to follow, but the review sheets he provides are basically the exams with different numbers. Solving those review problems is key to doing well. unstuck study was a great supplement for test prep alongside the review sheets.
