Comment:

If you are not particularly good at calc she is one of the most frustrating professors to have. She goes way too fast and gets mad at students for not understanding subjects. She also has zero awareness of other classes and responsibilities students have to manage outside of hers. She gives way too much work and I will never take her again.

Comment:

Ms. Lee was a hard grader and kind of rude during class. I took this class my first fall semester and couldn't wait to be done with this class! She was always late and hard to reach outside of class, despite her claims that she is "always awake" because of her insomnia. This class mentally scarred me

Comment:

Ms. Lee is my favorite prof at umich despite being the toughest grader I've had. She comes off as very abrasive and unapproachable, but she is actually really funny and caring. She has tons of interesting stories if you get to know her! The homework is incredibly demanding and sucks at the time, but it prepares you really well for exams.

Denise Lee is a great professor. She'll make you work, and get ready for lots of homework! Don't forget that the quizzes don't really count and the additional homework she hands out can only affect your grade if she decides to drop your grade 1/3rd of a letter grade. If you're willing to put in the work, she's willing to help! Would recommend 10/10

Comment:

Denise Lee is an extremely demanding teacher. You must attend class and do all of the assigned work to do well in her class. She prepares you well for the examinations. Class periods can be stressful because she comes across as degrading to students. She rules her classroom by generating fear. Overall a great teacher but her classes are very hard.

Comment:

Very Unapproachable Inconsiderate to those that do not quickly grasp concepts Gives quizzes over material you haven't gone over then leaves the room for the duration of the quiz Extremely hard to understand and moves at a fast pace If you don't get it she YELLS at the entire class and gives more UNEXPLAINED homework Worst professor I've ever had

Great at helping you outside of class. Gives you her cell and you can call her whenever you want. However, be ready for 2 hours of homework/reading per day. Quizzes come once a week and even though its only 5% of your grade, it counts. She dropped my grade 1/3 of a letter grade becasue of my homework. But she REALLY prepares you for the exams

Ms. Lee is a very passionate teacher who cares about her students. She gives out a TON of work but it pays off in the end. I will take her again for Calculus because she has made me like math :)

I had Ms. Lee for Math 105 and she was an excellent instructor, however for Math 115 she was less helpful for students who were not acing her quizzes and the exams. She seemed much less approachable (she was already difficult to approach).

Comment:

Ms. Lee is an excellent instructor, she's very passionate about math and expects only the best effort from her students. So if you're not willing to do the work, she won't be willing to help. She see's your time here as an investment in yourself and she matches that investment. No slackers in Ms. Lee's class.

Comment:

Probably a good prof for people who know what they are doing. Anyone who is not so good at math and needs extra help, don't bother. She will practically jump down your throat for not knowing how to do stuff. Switched out of her class because I felt I couldn't ask a question without getting chewed out.

Ms. Lee is one of the most outstanding teachers I've ever had. She is EXTREMELY helpful and deserves much more recognition than she receives. There is a lot of work and exams are very difficult, but you'll be happy to have taken class with her. Her homework serves well come exam time.

Comment:

Do not take this class unless you need the extra help. Many people do great in the exams but she lowers your grade if you don't do well on all the homework that she gives you (which is a ton). Take a regular section not CSP if you can.

If you are good at math, you probably won't have a problem. But if you are not, do not take this class with Ms. Lee.

Ms. Lee Truly is a wonderful teacher. Crazy she is. She will put a bundle of work on you, and if she gets mad at you, she will give you extra work. Overall, Ms. Lee is an excellent teacher. One will retain the knowledge that she teaches if one pays attention and asks for help. I had her as my teacher in the Summer Bridge program and she gav

Comment:

He's a really good teacher. She'll make sure that you know the material well and have a good understanding of how to understand the work. The biggest problem is that she will make you write down every single step when you do any sort of work (think 1+1=2), and missing a step results in BIG deductions.
