Professor takes her time on explaining material but sometimes goes at a fast paste. Tests and quizzes have 2 parts (manual and tech) The tech section is an open ended question where you have to show full work for full credit. She is very picky about this. The manual part is similar to homework.

Unfortunately, Professor Choi lives up to the poor reviews on this site. I politely emailed her about an unfair grade I received and was shocked at how defensive and sour her response was. My grade was never resolved. She has a habit of adding material to quizzes and exams she has not gone over in class, which I find frustrating. Beware.

The actual material is explained weird and made me look to youtube to be taught. The professor was rude when we emailed about questions and never had compassion towards us. The content is straightforward but she does not teach it that well.

Lots of homework

Quite possibly the worst professor I've ever had at Montclair. The material and concepts were explained very poorly. Because of this, I turned to online tutorials in order to learn the material. Terrible at communication, and extremely rude whenever you did try and reach out to her. Would never wish this class on anyone. Stay away!

Wow. I might just say that this professor, is in fact, the worst professor to ever exist at all Universities across the countries. Applied precalculus was impossible to learn with her as a professor. Very intimidating and if you asked for help, she got mad. I had to switch my major because of this professor. The university needs to review her asap

This was the first class I have had to drop, it was very hard to understand and she went through the material very fast without any recaps. I do not recommend taking her unless you have to, just expect to work hard and teach yourself mostly.

Awful awful awful awful awful. Not just her fault, the entire Math department of Montclair is a horrible joke. Every higher-up who runs this department needs to be fired immediately. These classes are structured terribly and taught by incompetent people. I had to drop this god-forsaken class because of how absurdly ridiculous the teaching was.

Had to withdrawal from this class because it was impossible. She cannot teach for the life of her. Would not wish this class on my worst enemy. I'd rather get hit by a car than ever take her again.

This professor is not the best. She talks very low and never interacts with her students. However, she is very clear when and what we will be quizzed on. She has a clear straight-forward pacing list. If you want to pass her class, you have to sit in the front and have little to no distractions.

She was not supportive or helpful. If you had a question, she wouldn't answer it and would say to ask classmates (but I already had and no one knew what to do). Her grading was all over the place too and very strict. This class was such a mistake to take and I would recommend anyone who consider taking a class with her run the other way.

I took her for AMAT220. She was absolutely awful. She didn't care about how you did I frequently went to her office hours and she was very rude to me. Please avoid taking her and take Calc II instead she was not clear in lectures whatsoever and never explained what you did wrong. She gives you one extra credit opportunity that does help your grade.

I took her for AMAT220. Worst professor I have ever taken. She doesn't care about her student and she was very rude to me when I told her that my grade is unfair. She gives you one extra credit opportunity that barely helps your grade and is the stupidest project ever. AVOID TAKING HER AT ALL COSTS.

Terrible professor. It's impossible to understand what she is saying or understand how she teaches the class. She is not approachable and has a tendency to make mistakes in grading the quizzes and tests. Avoid her at all costs. Worst professor ever.

Im taking Applied Calculus B. I'm ngl, don't take this professor. Cannot teach nor is helpful. Don't know my final grade yet, but I've never struggled with a math class until having this professor and my entire class is failing….That should tell you everything you need to know.

Do yourself a favor and take her if you're taking Applied Calc B. If ykyk. Lots of quizzes but she post what days to come in. If you nearly failed Calc A, taking this class is your reward for passing. May God bless her soul.
