Dr. Lo knows his material, however, his method of teaching isn't for everyone. He gets upset when you don't ask questions, and at the same time he gets mad when you do. He doesn't teach from the textbook, so there's $200 down the drain. Oh, and keep a calculator... a ti-84 or ti-83, because there are many shortcuts he won't show.

Gives to much homework, 50 questions each. Only lates you take the test once. If you don't turn in the homework by the due date you will get a zero. So do your homework cause you get three tries to fix it. He sometimes gets out of track on what he is teaching.

DO NOT TAKE!! Give a ton of homework, 200 problems a week. Seems like a nice man but once you ask a question in class he is very rude. Granted he is a very smart man, you can tell he knows his material but he is the WORST teacher I have ever had. He throws information at you with little to no explanation. If you struggle in math DO NOT TAKE!!!!

Dr. Lo knows what he is doing and remembers everything 100% with photographic memory, but his teaching is so hard to understand. He never shows shortcuts on how to get the right answer on the calculator or anything. If you are not good at math, DONT TAKE HIM! He gets mad at everyone in class if you dont know what he is talking about

Before I took the class, I went on rate my professors to know what to expect and to be quite honest, I was a bit worried about the class but it turned out to be the opposite. Dr. Lo is a great teacher and although he was a bit tough, he still gave one the opportunity to higher their grade and didn't hesitate to help someone.

If youre not already good at math do not, I repeat do not select him as your professor. He is a very gifted mathematician not so much gifted as a teacher, he gets mad easily, his patience is very limited and he will not slow his teaching methods for anyone. He suggests tutoring however it is not effective and he will only tutor before class.

Homeworks where "optional"but not really, only grades are the tests. My class was overall failing so he offered an abundance of extra credit (which was the homeworks) which is how I passed.

TRASH. Be aware that he is rude and will make you feel little. Take into perspective that 30 people started the course and before the drop date by a week or so, there were only 10 students in the class. This man called me dumb and slower than the rest of the class because I was sitting in the front and asking at least 4 or 5 questions a class.

When lecturing calmly, he is incredibly informative, and I would find myself learning quite a few methods, proofs, and other interesting and helpful things about mathematics. The only issue?

For Calculus III online with Professor Lo, exams were given in a 5 hour time period for you to complete, and they were unproctored. The grades for the course come from a couple of homeworks and 3 exams, and a final.
