No Comments
The best
this professor is the best, i am enjoying. especially when he told us that we can use our own review sheets. he is grate.
Excellent!!!
Spark's a funny guy. Gives you the format of the exam with the questions on it, so there should be no reason why you can't get an A in this class.
this guy is so funny, i like him, take him he's very easy vvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeryyyyyy eaasy u wont be dissapointed . Of course do some work too. He is always welcome to answer all questions.
Excellent!
He is very easy. exams are just like his review. he solves the review in the class, so there is no surprise in the exam. Take him to get an A.
Partial Differential and Fourier Series and Transforms made much easier. Easy A and better understanding of various mathematical methods and applications.
He is the BEST cal teacher you can have, easy A, just study his review sheets. He is funny,clear, and very intelligent. No one can be compared to him.
He is a great professor. I had him for calc in summer 2 and I really enjoyed his class. He is very clear and very helpfull. With a minimum effort you can get a good grade. Ihighly recomend him!
Good sense of humor. Teaches in a very logical manner.
he's really easy and make sure you keep on reviewing your old exams so the final wont be that hard...and plus all his questions follow the same or identical problems from his review so make sure you get that down....good luck i got an A
He's good he knows his stuff, but he jokes around too much which may become very frustrating
Very easy, just study his notes and reviews
Dr Park is the professor who wants all of his students to do very well, and also he's very helpfull
He's not that great he teaches very fast doens't explain any steps and goes strickly by average. So if you get a 79 he won't curve it to a B thats a C+. Don't take him try to get someone better.
He is the easiest Calculus professor in this school. The only thing you need to do is to do his review problems, and you can easily get an A. In addition, his final is optional if you get good grades in the previous tests, so try take this opportunity.
Do not take Dr. Park for Precalculus. He is very hard on the grading of exams. Very strict. Don't take him. I'd rather take Zavitsas for Precalculus.
Dont take this guy he is complete freek! they say he gets test from review but he dont.... 2 tests already and alot stuends failed.... So fast in course OMG dont take him if u plan to get a good grade
he is really easy and very helpful if you pay attntion in his class. he is very funny and nice. i recommend that you take him.
I only recommend him for those who just want an easy A. If you want to REALLY learn precalculus, I recommend you take someone else.
Hi !! papa P... lol u the man. he very helpful and funny. His tests are based on the review. No review , No test.. keep in mind. the class very easy and interesting . he jokes alot , and all u have to so is study a little bit before the exam and u do fine.... He not a hard professor so don't worry. kk
This was a very good professor. You just need to take proper notes in his class is you want to get an A. Very Funny, the class is never boring
He was a great prof.,his teachings are crystal clear. However, he gets mad very easily, i mean wat you expect ,he's a very old man. All you gotta do is practice ,practice and prctice.....DONT BUY THE TEXTBOOK,ITZ USELESS.........
Professor Park is a really nice person, he gives out reviews that are nearly to identical the 1st 3 exams....I would highly reccomend him!
He tries to crack jokes, but most of the time, they are corny. But he does state out problems you need to know very clearly. Make sure to do the homework because it is helpful at the end!
I honestly dont reccomend him at all. He was terrible. End of story. Run, now.
park is a really really good calc prof. i took him for the summer session and thought i was going to do horrible. his tests are pretty fair only if you practice problems. the review sheet should be a must. no need to buy the textbook. he is funny at times...dont get on his bad side though he might just crack jokes on you.......
Hes been teaching calculus in LIU since 1965, yea, 45yrs straight, thats my conclusion.
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
Park is definitely the best professor every... man of few words ... He definitely teaches everything crystal clear. He gives review sheets before the test and usually his review sheet is exactly whats on the tests with numbers changed. Straight foward guy ... this is the first math class that will keep you up without falling asleep.
took him for cal 1. impossible to pass no matter how hard you study. gives review sheets but twist the questions on the final which confuses the hell outta you. if you cant get pass 65 on the first test, it is impossible to pass. no drop grade. a lot of people drop out and fail. uw are given out upon request
This Korean man has been teaching calculus for 45years in LIU. People who are giving rude comments about him are idiots about math, thats why they complain every math teacher in the world. Here's some statistics about his grading, more than half of the class gets As from him, and that's about why his class gets filled up so quickly on the roster.
Nice guy. Easy A. If you want to learn calculus, definitly take him. He saves your time by directly telling you what you have to do to each question in order to the them right.! half of class got A or A-!
PROFESSOR PARK IS THE MAN!
Best math professor i ever had. He is so funny and really know what he teaching. No use to bye the textbook because all you need to do is come to class everyday and copy all the notes cause it will be on the test. A week before the test he give you a review and the test is just the same but different numbers. take him if you hat math
Great proffessor for real!!!! the review is all you need. the only worry is his jokes are corny!!!!!
Prof Park is awesooooome. His tests are straight from his reviews just change the numbers and maybe changes one question to make it trickier. and he will tell u ur overall grade so if u dont wanna take the final u dont have to if ur happy with ur grade. so even if u hate math he will make calc intersting definitely take him and u'll get an easy A-
the best math prof in LIU. Exams are the exacttttt same as review sheet in the exact same order except a number or two are different. defintely take him and no one elsee!!
TOO EASY! I got an A on every test! & A for the course! he gives a review sheet before every test and the test is the same as the review sheet except changed numbers. he also lets you have a "cheat sheet" for every test. it's impossible to fail unless you don't pay attention. TAKE HIM ! HIS CLASS FILLS UP QUICKLY!
Kind of weird at first couldnt really understand him so have to sit in front to actually understand what he is saying. Gives reviews before tests which are similar to actual test but the numbers are changed and lets you bring a paper with formulas and notes!
Just study the review sheet questions AND now how to do the concepts on it.
Contrary to what everyone says, Prof. Park is not an easy professor at all... But yes, he is the best out of all the professors... You have 3-4 exams, and basically screwing up 1 test will screw your entire grade.. You need a 94 for an A... The exams are changed numbers...avoid the green test!! Take either pink or blue and do review sht 15 times.
Easy class. Studying is mandatory. Attendance is an absolute MUST. 4 exams, doesn't drop the lowest grade. Based test off review sheets. Extremely sarcastic, but a good professor. Attendance and homework don't count towards final grade. Final grade is based on 4 exams.
He is okay. He test are kinda hard. But he gives a review sheet before each test. He is unfair when it comes to grading often to harsh.He is very hard to understand. Dosent help in his office hours. Very strict on grading policy dosent care about others futures only cares about his. DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He goes fast. You have to keep u with him or else you're done. He says his first test determines the whole grade, which frustrates you even more. He's nice n tries to crack jokes but if you don't like math then don't take him. You'll be lost!
If you are a pharmacy major DOO NOT TAKE HIM he ruins your GPA. Very hard to understand. Makes a lot of rude remarks. Goes off topic a lot. Office hours are a waste. He dosent even like when kids ask him questions. HE GETS UPSET. DO NOT TAKE HIM PERIOD!!!!!!!!
Ok, Please please believe me when I say this professor is overrated. He is in fact a very hard class to get an A in. He might explain calc the best but he's very hard to ace. If you do bad on 1 exam ur basically screwed... He doesn't curve or anything eighter... TAKE HIM ONLY IF UR UP FOR A GOOD CHALLANGE!!
Gave me a B-.
Highly unreachable for questions, he says if you do bad on the first test its more or less impossible to get an A on the test. No curve, no drop lowest grade. BADDDD PROFF
This proff will act tough in the beginning but he is actually pretty funny. he gives a review sheet and basically what is on that review sheet will be on the test. Just go over the problems like about 3 times and ur good for the exam. he also lets you bring the review on the day off. He rocks!
Wonderful professor. Do not miss any of his test or quizzes because he does not do "make up" exams.
Honestly he is very unreasonable! Please do not take this class it will seriously waste your time, and ruin your GPA. Hard headed professor and clarity level as referring to teaching wise is very poor. You will regret it in all seriousness!
One of the worst professors on campus! Unaccommodating, and you can't even understand what he is saying. Teaching level is very low, and his test grades are HARSH!
If you are willing to work, this class is easy. Only if you don't give up like some.
Prof. Park seems like a tough guy at first, but he is really a sweetheart. He is willing to go over things as many times as necessary if you ask him to, & he takes note of who comes to class & who is paying attention. He gives homework & review sheets for each test. Do the work, it is JUST LIKE the test! Doesn't drop the lowest test score.
Professor Park is one of the best math teachers I've had at LIU, grades are given based on what you get on the exams, he gives a review sheet a week before the exam, does the review sheet in class, and then for the exam's, he changes the numbers slightly. Plus your allowed to bring in a "cheat sheet"! Easy A, if you pay attention!
Prof park is a great professor he is always there for you he will always try to help you the exams are the review sheets just different numbers study the review sheets and do the homework and you will ace the class
Freaking easiest class ever if you fail you're dumb all you have to do is show up copy the problems and do it over and over until you know it. Why? Because he copies the questions and puts them on the tests. You need no text book you don't even need to listen all you need is your eyes a good calculator and common sense
At first I was running a C average but then I realized the trick to getting a good grade in this class was to repeat the problems he did in class over and over again. By doing this I managed to pull an A-!!
An old school professor. Practice his review sheet over and over again, you certainly pass. A brilliant maths professor. Take him you will do well. Note that he is a tough grader and never drop low grade.
Hard headed. Lectures are rushed and all of his tests are cumulative. Would not take again.
He is very tough on grading, he was alright on teaching the material. But, the tests make up your entire grade, he does not drop the lowest. It was very hard to do well on the material, and he advises not to take his final
THIS professor is very mean and heartless. I only recommend taking him if you are a very good math student a student that got 700's in the SAT MATH section they can handle him . he know math and will mess you up . take camilian he the best easy and curves and very sweet .
An extremely easy A. He gives extra credit, easy exams (just like the reviews), and he adds 2 points to your final grade. Only 4 exams, the fourth one usually counts as the final. Pay attention in class and practice the problems he puts on the board and the review prolems and you will probably ace the exams. Takes attendance
Professor Park is the easiest Calculus professor in LIU!! He gives 4 exams & the forth one is the final. He gives review sheets before the exam which are exactly the same as the exams. The quizzes he gives are meant to help you in adding extra points to your grade. He adds 2 points to your final grade. TAKE HIM!! Don't listen to the other comments!
He is not accommodating and very strict. If you miss an exam you will fail the class. Tutoring is pointless because if you do not solve the problems the way he teaches, they are incorrect. I do not recommend taking this class.
For those who are incoming freshman for the spring 2017 semester for MTH 15, you should take him. That is if your looking for an easy class. He lets you use cheat sheets for his tests. I had a total of 4 tests in his class averaging my grade to a 93. Attend and pay attention! Plus he always add 2 points towards your final grade. So i got a 95.
Easiest class ever. Show up copy notes and study review sheet a day before the test A guaranteed
Park is the best math professor in LIU. As long as you pay attention and take good notes you should be fine. For the exams they are similar to the review sheet and he goes over the review sheet. Definitely take him if you want an A.
THIS MAN IS A GOD SEND. best math professor at liu. i went from a D to a B by taking his class, and aim terrible at math. take good notes because he allows cheat sheets on his exams! if you like your average at the end of the course, you don't even have to take the final, also gives extra credit and adds 2 points to your average.
If you care he will care he's sarcastic but he is also clear, there's no tricks. 4 tests and a final each are based off of review sheets and all he does is change the numbers for the actual test. Your allowed a cheat sheet for the test.
Do not take him. Simple.
He's knowledgeable and witty because he's been teaching for so long, but he can also be slow and forgetful due to his age. I had a hard time getting used to his accent and teaching style at first, but his class is really a gift if you put in the time. Show up, copy down everything he writes, and study the review problems religiously!
I love him!!
If you want to learn Calc dont take him lol He isn't clear and has a very annoying method for grading. You HAVE to follow his way or he will mark the the entire question wrong. No partial credit. THATS why i did really bad on the tests. If you forgot to write x the entire question is wrong. IDK how i got a B+ HE REALLY GOT ME TIGHT
Do not take!! Avoid, he has an attitude. He does not drop ANY exams so if you mess up, you will have little to no chance to pass.
He is the best -Teaches the easy ways of solving problems -Openbook test -Answer ? & earn points for next exam -some people dont get his joke but he is humbly funny and just wants you to learn. -You can with any hard class w/ it. Just understand that, just because its open book, you still need to know the material to understand.

Easy A, he tends to joke around in class but he explains each problem in class well. All his exams are open book and he gives you a review sheet on whats going to be on the exam exactly. make sure to take good notes. Overall hes a great professor that helps you
a lot of extra credit, exams are similar to review sheet. easy A
Professor Park is a great guy and wants everyone to do well and pass. You just have to put in the work and show effort. He may not drop an exam, but he gives a lot extra credit. You need to attend class, which hes very big one. He has a good sense of humor and likes to laugh. He might come off strong, but doesnt mean any harm, just passionate.
He's great, he cares about his students. its kind of hard to understand him at first, but you get used to it. HIS TESTS ARE LITERALLY THE REVIEW SHEETS HE HANDS YOU! s
Give lots of quizzes for extra credit! Make sure to do well on his quizzes they will help boost your grade, it will be average into your test average. He's funny and helps his students actually learn.
He gives study guides that you will go over in class and what you go over is what will be on the test. he is an easy A, just pay attention and review for tests.
Professor Park is an amazing professor. He explains hard calc concepts/problems in a very easy way. He is not joking when he says his way is easier and he wants you to use it. So a quick tip, go to class, copy and follow his examples and do the HW he posts and you should be GREAT. Do the review sheets cuz the exams are similar to the review.
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.
You have to do the work to pass obvi. Math is def hard but Park simplifies it. You may not understand what he says much, but he makes the work so easy. Just subsitute the numbers from the problems. Easy A just put in the work! attending lecture is important but EAsy class please take him
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.
We called him papi Samuel. Hes tough but the whole class took advantage of the fact he didnt know anything about technology. His phone number got leaked and it was all over...
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
DO IT.
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
can't teach for nothing
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.
