Comment:

The worst math teacher ever. I had a hard time in that class since he talked throughout the whole 4 hour class. If you were to ask for help, he would solve the problem for you and not with you. I dont recommend this teacher if you have a hard time with math.

Hes a such a good professor, if you pay attention on class (dont expect to be on your phone and get an A or B) and do the homework, you will be fine. You do have to work for your grade, and try to not fall behind.

If you are reading this check it out. Those people who thought he is rude and useless. Bruh, Imma tell you right now he is the best. Of course he expects a lot from you bc he wants you to pass. He cares tbh. I would never regret taking his class again. For some people who kinda not good at math. His class was full of tests. But youll be fine!

Dr. Wan, covers alot in class and the gives you the study but the test is not always the same. If you miss class you will fall behind. He drops the worst test score if you better in the final. If you take him , do not take him in the morning.

If you are reading this, Don't let anyone ruin your decision of taking this class. Professor Wan is very nice, he never put you on the spot. If u needed his help, u can always walk up to him and ask questions. He never embarrassed anyone, all he wanted was us to learn and pass the test. I will definitely take his class again. Thank you Professor!!!

Comment:

Youll definitely regret taking his class. Despite his knowledge, he is in no way a teacher. Every class consists of him going through each book example. If you ask a question, he simply does the whole problem for you. Lecture is incredibly boring and everyone, including himself, looks miserable. If you want to learn, do not take his class.

Comment:

He goes to quick and he doesn't help you himself. He pushes you to just go to tutoring instead of him trying to help out. Class was full in the beginning of the semester and more than half left every week. One small error on tests and he marks you off for the whole thing (no partial points).

Comment:

Very quiet, doesnt seem open to questions during lectures, miss 4 classes and youre dropped from the class, boring, class seems to drag on forever, grading scale is good, if youre good on attendance & understanding of math and hes a last resort class then go for it but if you got options then save him as your last resort (dont take mornings)

Comment:

He expects a lot from you. He'll build you up during lecture and break you down with every passing exam, throwing curveballs by testing your precal skills (especially polynomials/trig) every time. Reviewing it is crucial to get an A, as well as understanding calc concepts. Would not recommend him with weak precal foundation, or else study hard!

WORST PROFESSOR AT LBCC! Would blatantly ignore students who walked up to his desk to ask questions... wouldn't even look at them! The "study guides" weren't even what was on the test. I asked for my grade and he sent me random scores. I like STATS but he made me hate it. I had 4 tutors and no one could help because his tests werent what we learned

A lot of homework. He is nice and understanding but straight forward and expects alot. He teaches at a really fast pace,covers multiple sections in a day but he does it quick and easy,kind of have to learn it on your own if you don't get it. His tests are very hard. ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. if u miss more than 2 Classes he will drop you immediately

the tests are really hard! He chooses the most difficult problems that I don't even recognize it. When he teaches, it's easy but he doesn't put everything we learned on the test! I would study so much and the parts I remembered/understood best wasn't on the tests. Grading is really hard. If you don't pass the tests then you fail & there's around 5

Comment:

BY FAR THE WORSE PROFESSOR LBCC HAS!!! He puts the ebook on the projector and reads the examples then has you do a practice example he does not guide you step by step he just does it and says " Okay this is the way you do it". If you have a difficult time in math do NOT take his class! Lbcc should definitely look into the way he teaches.

Comment:

He is a nice guy but you do easy problems in class and for HW and then get to the test and the questions are way harder than anything you'd done in class. I really felt I wasn't prepared for how hard the questions were. Even if you really understand the concepts, the math on the problems he tests on is so hard, knowing the concept is irrelivant.

He seems quiet sometimes, but he is very caring. The homework is necessary if you want to pass. There are tests at the end of each section. Final is easy. He will answer every math problems before class. He is easy in grading, too.

Comment:

This teacher finds the hardest questions for the quiz/exam. He grades all or nothing, doesn't credit your work even if you get the process right or you're halfway done. He doesn't curve. I got a high B, but could've gotten an A if he did. He should've because his exams are really hard and nobody ever gets a perfect score.

Easy class. All you have to do is show up and do your hw even if you get bad test grades he'll work with you. His accent isn't that bad and he'll even crack a few jokes here and there. I would take him again.

Considering this is my first semester back in school, Mr. Wan is an ok professor. He will try to work with you ONLY if he notices that you are a hard worker. He wants you to pass.
