Comment:
This guy seriously doesn't know how to teach. He went over the slides very fast and wrapped up everything so you are so easy to get confused. He will give curve but even with that the average of the class still ended up getting a low C. TRY TO AVOID HIM IF YOU CAN!!!

Comment:
He says everything is "really simple", yet his tests are everything you don't need to know, and most likely won't know. He has big curves, and utilized them for 27 years.. He really doesn't know why students do bad, and continue to do bad. I'm surprised teachers like him are still teaching if students constantly fail his tests. Baffling. DONT TAKE!

Comment:
This guy does not know how to teach. His tests are complete bs and try to trick you more than testing what you need to know. They're way harder than they need to be. He just reads off his slides. Even after 27 years, he still thinks the students need to do better.. wow. Do NOT take his class, the majority is tests and he changes them every year.

Comment:
Very difficult class that requires a heavy curve. The curve is not very clear, it isn't specifically disclosed until the very end. This class is very math/statistics heavy, make sure you have a strong background or you will not do well. He helps by providing PDF's of the textbook. Tests are like class problems with a "twist".

Comment:
His class is extremely boring. He will give a curve but he screws it up with his grading. He randomly gives students 10-14 extra points on exams (whoch are worth 40 points in all) and when called out on it he says there is nothing he can do about that because he cant ask for the exams back. If you ask a question you will get sarcasm in return.

Comment:
This professor was hands down one of the worst professors I have ever had. His teaching methods were awful and extremely hard to follow. He was very fair when it came to exams, but it was hard to learn anything in the class if you did not teach yourself. I would not recommend taking a class from this professor.

THE WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD! If the midterm average is a "D", its time to change your teaching techniques Lee. 60% of the students in the class dropped the course because you have NO clue what your grade is until the end of the course. The material is actually really interesting, but you are better off teaching yourself at home.

The shocking thing is I acutally liked this material. He still uses an overhead projector and his tests usually have a twist to the question that was not in the homework. If you are a math major, you won't have a problem. Get material online from other programs from other schools. Same info but much easier to understand.

Very difficult to understand; classroom attendance was useless, - his lectures made the otherwise easy material more confusing. Nice guy, but very poor teacher. Curve is generous but not sufficient to compensate for poor instruction and availability of help outside the class.

Memorize how he does problems. He tells you exactly what problems will be on the test w/samples. Dont miss class. Once a date is set for exam-HW, that's it. He will cancel the lab session and make himself avail during then. Hard material, but is not impossible.My last semester and they are taking IDS450 out of requirements for the major.UIC Sucks.

The material is easy, but the teacher confuses you so much you are ought to fail it. He makes fun of students, mocks them. You can't talk back because he'll put you on his**** list instantly. Worst teacher I ever had.

Best Professor for IDS450(hahaha...) There's no other professor like Lee, one of his kind, nothing to say but the best. Keep up the good work prof. Some friendly advise:don't miss class at all(even if you need to go to the emergency room), copy everything he writes, and memorize all the ex. he solves in class. That's it, you should b able to pass.

Unfortunately, people who are in the IDS program at UIC have to take the class for the major. He is the only one who teaches this class. He mocks his students and intimidates students during the tests. People are doing bad but he does nothing to change the way he teaches the class.

If you take ids 450, it is likely that you will fail and have to take it again. The only advice I can give you is memorize everything. Don't try to understand the material because it'll only make the memorizing harder
