Professor Park Lee has her doctorate in mathematics and is only interested in her students' success. She brings a unique, enthusiastic brand of teaching - you will understand the material. She does, however, have very high expectations of the students - attendance, punctuality, manners (which one should have anyway)

Dr. Lee is a very good teacher. She often shows you how to do things in many different ways. She is also very good at relating one subject to another so that you see connections. If you have forgotten a lot of your rudimentary math, she will help you catch up. Very caring and solid teacher.

I completely disagree with the other reviews. Perhaps it's because my experience is in the 1A class, but I found Dr. Lee very clear and insightful. She requires you to think about the subject beyond the textbook and she gives you a deeper understanding by showing you examples that are not standard. I highly recommend her.

This teacher has infinite patience. It was a night class with many students who acted like they didn't want to be there, and she never faltered. She was kind, helpful, and very clear in her teaching methods.

If you try hard and she sees you trying hard you will pass. ALso, your grade on the final is your overall grade in the class

I took Two times Math1B class at foothill with 'WithDraw' and 'F' Grade. I took over mrs.Park's class was so interesting, easyful on the quizs, mid 1, mid 2 and final. LISTEN ME AND BELIEVE ME mrs.PARK class is VERY GOOD!

Easy A. Just do the homework. Quizzes are really easy. Her lectures are great, but i always read over the examples in the book to make sure i undrestand. The book is really good and useful. Take her!

I cant a 4.0 GPA without this instructor! Get an A is the easiest thing when you take this class. Just copy notes, pay attention to lectures, and do well on tests and final, you will get an A!

Dr. Park Lee is a good teacher. She is sometimes difficult to understand but math is its own language anyways. I learned a lot from her and I think the format of her tests are extremely fair. If you're bad at math, it's not really her fault. I really think this teacher is not rated as she should be. She is better than people make her out to be

Professor Park Lee is a brilliant professor. Avoid her classes if you have no real interest in Math, because without at least some enthusiasm for the subject, you will not do well. That being said, her #1 priority is helping her students understand the material. If you don't get it, then that is entirely your fault.

Has great knowledge and really wants student to understand the logic behind it all, but sometimes it can be overwhelming. The pace is fast if math doesn't come easy to you. Her grading on chapter tests is extremely fair. Overall, She is a passionate instructor with a strong personality, but the pace is fast.

She was a great teacher! I struggled in Math 1C and she made things so clear. I had to do the HW and study but real feel I learned a lot. She was very helpful outside of class. I got an A for the class. I am going to be an engineer and she helped me to know this material.

She was a great teacher! I struggled in Math 49 and she made things so clear. I had to do the HW and study but real feel I learned a lot. She was very helpful outside of class. I got an A for the class. I am going to be an engineer and she helped me to know this material.

Sweetest, kindest lady you will EVER meet. She really LOVES her students and wants them to succeed. Unfortunately many are lazy and unwilling to do what they need to do to be successful. You can see that it breaks her heart, but she WILL flunk the students who didn't learn! They have only themselves to blame.

This course is hard, especially over summer. She presented the material very clearly and added theory not just application. I had to work harder in her class than in my prior math classes but also felt she was teaching what I needed when I transfer. This prepared me better for what it is going to be like at Berkeley than many of my other classes.

You might get worried about her accent at first, but you get used to it & you can understand what she is saying. She teaches the material very well. She explains clearly how to approach problems and why you approach them that way. She does a lot more than just following the textbook. Study the problems and you'll succeed! You won't regret it!

I love Professor Lee! She teachers really well and wants us to succeed! She explains everything clearly, but we have to work hard to earn that A...Each problem on her test is worth like 30 points....-_-, even the less complex ones...

She teaches really well and explains everything very clear. Her exams are all typical questions, but you will need to have good understanding to the material to get a good grade. You should pay attention to what she said to get a good grade. Besides, she really care about our learning. I took 3 other math classes with her as well.

She is nice, but as the material gets harder, it becomes more difficult to understand because of her accent and how fast paced she lectures. Make sure you have a strong background in trig and previous math courses because she wants you to utilize all of them on midterms + finals. You can't just memorize the steps.

ok..I don't know why she has such a bad rating. SHE IS ONE MY FAVORITE TEACHERS AT FOOTHILL BECAUSE SHE IS SO CARING. Okay, sure..there are lots of midterms and a final, but the ratings come from those who don't study. Her midterms are completely doable and similar to some of the textbook problems. Just take notes and you'll do fine. sheesh.

Intelligent professor & extremely friendly! But study for her final because if you fail it, then you're pretty much screwed.

She definitely knows the material well. She shows enthusiasm for teaching. Her exams are not easy but doable. They wont include concepts or problems that are not covered in class. Take her if you want to build your math skills.

I'm not good at math, but I thought this professor did an exceptional job at teaching the material! I don't know why people say she doesn't help you because she clearly opens her office for students to come in and ask questions. She even has "online" office hours before exams. You should be able to do her exam if you did her RECOMMENDED problems..

I have to agree that her tests are worth a lot of points, but I think she's a great professor. Do your homework, focus on the concepts, and try many of the problems. During her lectures, she often makes up her own problems as examples. Make sure you take note of those because most of them will appear on her exams (hint*).

Well, I thought she was an excellent professor! The exams were fair (you should do well if you do the homework). She cares for her students and is willing to put in the time and effort to make each student succeed. Follow the examples she gives on the board because she will certainly test you on those. definitely recommend.

She is very calm, sweet, kind and patient. Very clear and organized. It is a very "gentle" math class.

A wonderful, clear, organized and caring teacher.

She is the BEST math teacher I have had at Foothill. This is quite a hard class, but she is very clear about what she wants from everyone. Honestly, you control your grade. If you put in the work, you will get the reward because it is doable. She really wants her students to succeed and it shows in the way she teachers. Take her if you like math!

She is an excellent teacher. She has extended office hours and very helpful. I learned more math in her class than in all 3 of my prior classes. I recommend her if you want to be prepared to transfer.

Best math professor ever! She explains concepts very clearly and well.

Younghee can either be your best friend or your worst enemy. She had quizzes that aren't worth many points. Quizzes help you understand where your weak points are. If you come into office hours, she will make sure you understand. She is incredibly enthusiastic and her class is fun. If you take her, you will learn math. I recommend taking her.

great professor!

Nicest lady ever. Very smart. Wants to help you understand.

Love this woman! she loves math and reallllly cares about her students. she is very funny and has my attention throughout the class period. tests are straight forward, no bull.

She's a great teacher! I had lots of fun in her class

Young Hee is a very caring teacher and she has extended office hours - if you can't make it to her office hours, she will let you make an appointment with her for any other time. Tests are straightforward, though she mostly bases the exams on her lectures. However, sometimes her lectures are a little confusing and may be hard to follow.

Read, Preview, Review. Take that into heart my friends because it's really the recipe to an 'A' in her class. That being said, there's no traps in her exams, if you do the homework, you'll do the exams. Her finals are no different than her exams just kicked up a notch. She's really nice but just really long when replying emails. Read and show up!

Simply the best Math teacher I've ever had. Her first love is Math! She is very caring, and really kind on grading. The "grand finale" is literally your fate since it is 40% of the entire grade, and it can replace the midterms. The exams are all straightforward. Recommended!!

She's very helpful. However her teaching style is mainly auditory. I'm the type of student who likes visuals and audio and this course didn't provide me with enough visuals. At least not for much of the big take-away ideas. Math 1D is hard enough as is. If you're a strictly auditory learner take her, otherwise DON'T

She is great. She is actually teaching. And I learned a lot from her. There are 3 exams besides final. If you did not do well on your exams, she allows you to explain what you learned from the exam, and it earns extra credit. Anyway, she is great. The accent would not bother you at all.

She is the best professor i have taken in two years of math

She is the toughest grader I've ever seen. However, she is quite helpful and kind. Just make sure you prepare well for all the exams.

Took her class for 1a and I had to come back for 1c! She emphasizes concept and is super passionate about what she teaches. Definitely recommend if you're really trying to learn the material. She is sort of a tough grader, but if you fully apply yourself in this class, you won't have any problem passing! PREVIEW, PRACTICE, AND REVIEW! Best method.

She is so passionate about teaching math. I'm not a math person but I find her lecture is easy to follow.

She's clearly very passionate about mathematics and teaching. Her classwork and exams emphasize creativity and problem-solving, which makes the class harder but really ensures that you understand the material. Go with Park Lee if you love math; skip her if you're just shooting for credit.

Nice lady with big expectations towards her students. Don't take her if you are not much into math or have tougher quarter with other important classes.

I am not smart. Math 2A is not easy and I suffer like any other math classes. However, professor Park Lee spent extra time in class to answer my question and clear up my misunderstanding. Her exam is hard but not tricky, just exactly what she already taught. Over all, she is fair; she cares about your success and does her best to help you out. REC

1D is a hard class but she is a good teacher. Midterms and final are not hard if you really pay attention to this class. Most important part is "definition, definition, definition". Make sure you got good grades in 1C and you work hard. being absent will make you fail. if you think it is very hard and can't get it? don't take 1D and go back to 1C.

Best calculus professor. Ever. I took 3 calculus classes with her, and all three classes where a true delight. 1D class improves spatial thinking and math intution, 2A is crucial for any engineering tasks. Grading is flexible and based not on nit-pitcking, but your understanding of the subject; lectures are crystal clear. Highly recommend taking.

I had a great time in Math 2A last quarter with Park Lee. She's always happy when students participate in the lecture. She was very helpful and made some concepts I was struggling with easy to understand during office hours. You must be up to date with the reading if you want to understand the lectures. Her tests were fair and she curves nicely.

This math class is the best math class I have ever taken in my life. Lectures are extremely clear and easy. Although she is a Korean, she speaks English like a native speaker. Super easy final. Final can replace your mid term. Worth up 80%. Final is super easy. No challenging. I got 100% and its an A+. I love math because of park lee. I love you 2

Focus in class and listen to what she says will come out in the exam and you will be fine. She teaches math in a way so that you understand and you don't need to memorize, a problem I think for some people. She is an AWESOME professor... I wouldn't say her tests are easy, but if you UNDERSTAND the material, you will be able to do just fine...

She is different. She expects you to read the textbook before class and review your notes after class. Her lectures are confusing. It can only be understood if you already have a basic/slight understanding of the concepts that she is going through. Her exam questions are meant to test your understanding of the concepts. Practice is necessary.

Passionate professor! She goes through lecture pretty quickly, so it's handy to read a section or two ahead and also helps identify weaker areas to pay attention to during lecture. Very helpful during office hours about specific concepts and is more than willing to clarify.

Professor Park Lee was amazing! She puts her students as her first priority. True--she can be slightly confusing due to her accent, but she is understandable most of the time. If you frequently to go her office hours and do the homework, her midterms won't be hard. Her final is HARD though!!! Be sure to preview before class as well.

The way she teaches is easy to follow and understand. She has good examples for explaining stuff. But make sure to read the textbook yourself when you are falling behind for whatever reasons, because the course moves fast. She gives quizzes in every lecture. Those are easy and just to check if you are following.

Her midterms and final is actually very straight forward. She usually have 1 or 2 tricky questions but other than that everything is very straight forward. I'm very bad at math so i was worried i'd have difficulty in her class because of the negative reviews but it turned out way easier than i thought :) She gives many chance to get good grade!

This is the best math teacher I have had since 8th grade. Word of warning: For every class you miss, you will miss a vital piece of information that will most likely be on the next exam. Her tests are highly conceptual; if you do not understand the material, you will not pass. This is a class for people who want to learn, not just pass and forget.

I struggled a lot with Park Lee's teaching method, which is using power point slides that were jam-packed with information. But, here's the thing: go to her office hours. She's a little scary (at least to me she was) in the classroom, but in her office, she's a whole other person who is supportive, helpful, and understanding. Worth it.

I learnt so much in Park Lee's Math 1D class. Her class can seem difficult because there are fewer chances to earn credit and she can seem tough. But if you are serious about understanding math concepts and being able to use them beyond a final exam you will benefit from Park lee's class. her lectures are super organized and the tests were fair.

Park Lee is an amazing lecturer. She is very passionate about math. Her office hours were super helpful. I resent the comments made about her accent. She speaks clearly and slowly. She writes and projects her writing as she lectures. If a student rates her teaching based on her accent, that says more about the students character than Park Lee's.

I am so grateful that I found Park-Lee. She is the best math teacher I have had (I went to Harker). Her tests are very conceptual, so if you do not understand the material, you will not pass. Her teaching style is hard to get used to at first. She is unconventional. She derives -everything-. Not for people who just want to "use the formula."

Her lectures are very useful. Remember to practice and do the homework problems. Her exams are straightforward and it's all about if you know the problem solving.

She is pretty nice, seriously, if you compare to other professors who also teach higher-level math courses. Linear Algebra is not easy material since it involves lots of concepts, not calculation. I took Calculus 1D with her as well, and she teaches pretty nicely. So I think the reason why you have a bad experience just because of the material.

professor Park Lee is one of the easiest professors among hard Math classes after 1D. Her exam wasn't too hard and even do one group exam out of three. Although many people might complain about her lecture, she is still the best choice if you manage to get an A steadily.

To preface my rating; I first took CALC 1D with Cembellin, and I struggled like a dog in his class and failed, so the next quarter I took Park Lee and got a B+! She is super funny and though I have ADD, she had such great charisma in class that I was always paying attention :) We all love you Park Lee

Professor Park Lee is one fo the best Math teacher I've ever had. She cares about her student and always be super kind. I have no idea why some people said her class is super hard. I think it's either because they're not smart enough for this class or they didn't work hard enough. Don't blame any professor for your own incapability or laziness.

I like Prof. Park Lee's way of conducting her online class during the COVID-19 pandemic. This way has made learning calculus fun and not so stressful during these hard times. Her recorded lectures are in-depth and give us a conceptual understanding of calculus. She does well at preparing us for the weekly take home quizzes (no exams this quarter).

Professor Park Lee is one of the best math professors I have ever had. I just don't understand why there are so many bad reviews about her here. She teaches in a way that you have to preview the materials first before attending the lecture and her lecture further deepens your understanding of a specific topic. Would definitely miss her<3

TBH her lectures aren't so neat, they're all over the place. As if the material isn't already confusing, her lecture notes make it even more daunting. I recommend watching James Hamblin's lectures on YouTube and really understand the topics before the knowledge check. Her teaching style wasn't my fav, but I ended up with an A so I'll give her that.

Read the material before class, participate, review the lecture notes after class. Try to actually learn the concepts (don't just copy the notes). I actually enjoyed lecture, but I can see how some students can be offput by her because she could be intimidating and condescending (but she does this to do reinforce certain behaviors like pre-reading)

10/10 would recommend. Little work to do well on tests. Easy A but I still feel I learned a lot. She is friendly and warm. Tests are based on homework so nothing unexpected. Overall a pleasant experience. Thank you Park Lee!

Park Lee teaches the hardest math courses at Foothill so you're basically walking into a brick wall if you're not prepared. While she is a very tough grader (answers matter less than the actual work), nearly every problem in her homework and final is explained through her lectures. Watch the lectures, understand them, and you'll get an A.

I love her class. All the tests are all based on her own lecture notes( sometimes as easy as changing numbers, other times it would give you a twist in concepts)Definitions Important!!!The textbook problem is there to help you familiarize with problems/concepts. It does help! A UCB friend said her class made life easier in future engineer classes.

If you're confident with your math ability, take her. It's not a breeze but as long as you show up and figure out what specific things she's looking for it's not bad at all. She's picky but she does articulate what she's looking for in class. She can come off as condescending and treat students like children but that's just her teaching style.

Very enjoyable multivariable calculus class. If you read the textbook ahead of time and pay attention to class, it is very possible to do well in this class. Allotted time for tests and finals were very reasonable. Lectures were engaging and I didn't have to review too much for tests.

Park Lee is very lecture heavy and uses five assignments to determine the entire grade. However, her lectures cover all of the material with adequate examples and thought provoking commentary, and the exams include only content covered in lecture, although the concepts may be presented with a twist. Tough A, but doable if you focus and study hard.

Diff Eq is a difficult course. My experience with Dr. Park Lee is that she was a fair grader, but expects a lot from students. I would recommend her for Math majors, but not for other majors trying to get through their math requirements. She emphasizes the importance of logic in defending your answers. Very difficult and very rewarding.

She is beautiful inside out and easy! I passed all precalculus classes with Park Lee with an A+. No challenging! I will for sure take her for Calculus, DE, and LA classes again! She is so attractive while she was lecturing. People who get lower than an A- in her class should consider to change their study method

Don't understand why there are so many negative reviews, some are even lies. Park Lee is the most beautiful person on the inside (and out), all she cares about is your learning. Lee is big on having a deep understanding, (which is a good thing), so correct answers don't mean full points, you need to have the correct approach. Don't be intimidated.

Great professor, if you put in the work and ask for help when you need it, anyone can do well in her class.

Toughest math class Ive ever taken but at the same time I learned much more than any previous class. Dr. Park Lee teaches concepts that are carried out throughout any stem major. Im glad I took her class and although it was hard at times I am forever grateful for the mathematical understanding she provided me.

Teaches concepts clearly. If you want to learn, you will definitely learn a lot. pay attention to lectures, as assessments are lecture-heavy

She is very caring and wants you to succeed. As long as you put some effort in you will be fine. Tests aren't difficult at all.

Prof Park Lee is such a kind hearted soul. She doesn't release keys to practice exams, BUT if you ask her to go over them then she is more than happy to explain every single answer. She is very generous when it comes to your overall grade. If you're worried about grades, just keep at it until the end and she will recognize and award your hard work.

Professor Park was super caring and kind the entire time, even reaching out to ask how I can improve my participation in the class. If you're not willing to put in the effort into the class, don't bother taking it. The material is hard and there's only so much a GOOD professor can do.She would give amazing feedback and try to help you suceed.

You will learn a lot in 2A as the course covers a lot of material. But, getting a good grade is very achievable. There are 4 quizzes including a cumulative final, worth a total of 60%. The other 40% is basically free (like teach a concept). Grades generously-you will get credit if use the correct methods, even if you get the wrong final answer.

Easy A! Choose her with no doubt

Used 8% of my brainpower and still got a A ggez

Not easy content =/= bad prof. Very kind person. Not hard to get a good grade at all, just put a bit of effort in and pay attention during lecture.

You will learn a lot of math in her class. She is super knowledgeable. No HW at all that so that is why she is GOATED and why I got an A. Go to her lectures and put some time outside of class and you will get a good grade. She is also very very helpful in office hours. She is probably the smartest math professor I ever had.

Strong mathematician, okay lecturer. She is very sweet and it's clear that she cares about making math feel fun, she even held a party to celebrate finishing the calc series. However, her lectures are sometimes quite hard to follow. Preview the textbook before class, try to follow her lectures, then review right after class and you will do fine.

Nowhere near as bad as people say. The tests are hard, but they aren't unfair. Her lectures are fast, but it's because she assumes that you have read the sections before class. She answers any questions thoroughly and does take feedback for her lecturing style. Do the optional hw and participate! Somehow, she became my favorite professor at FH.

You MUST do the textbook pre-readings before each class or you will not succeed. She's a very smart person and she really wants everyone to succeed, but don't expect a walk in the park.

Park Lee, one of my favorite professors at Foothill, made Math1D challenging and rewarding. She goes beyond textbook basics, emphasizing understanding with her mantra, "Definition, definition, definition." Her tests push you to think critically and beyond the textbook. Her slides are filled with excellent examples. She's available outside of class.

Young Hee is a great professor. Calc 1D is a difficult class, but she is here to help you through it. The ppl rating before me are the negative extreme of the population. I know many people that got an A w/ Park Lee. She takes time to answer questions carefully during lecture and OH if you ask so take advantage. Y'all got A's on lock don't trip.

The class is very concepts heavy, which means you need to go over the lectures until you get every step, but after you are all set. You have to work for your grade, but she is very supportive, take the class to learn the material, not for the grade.

Professor is passionate about math and truly cares about her students. The final can replace lower exam scores, which is great. Since the course is still ongoing, it's unclear how strictly the final will be graded, but if partial credit is generously given, it would really help, especially for students under pressure or planning to transfer.

Very chill professor, clearly cares about her students and is passionate about math. Homework optional and final replaces previous grades.
