Comment:

Do not take math3b w Chin if math is not your strongest suit. Although he is caring and considerate towards his students, the class is very rushed and his eyesight problem leaves messy notes sometimes when he writes on the board which is hard to read. You have to put more effort than usual to pass this class. Self-study and preview the lessons.

Comment:

Mr. Chin was the best teacher for math that I ever had. If I had a question he would always answer it. He walked around class asking if anyone needed help showing that he wants to help others. He does give out little quizzes but they're usually based of the lecture and only a question long so very easy. He and his wife are relationship goals.

Comment:

He was an amazing caring teacher, he goes over everything in class and often time the homework was harder the test its self. If you needed help he would come over and personally walk you through everything. The in-class worksheets are important so hold on to them. He does take points off if you don't show up to class.

Comment:

I made my worst mistake by not dropping from this class. I am an A student and math is my favorite subject. I got C in this class for many reasons that have to do with the teacher. Mr. Chin is nice however he is not helpful at all. I went and talked to him many times and got no help from him. He doesn't encourage students who ask questions.

Comment:

Brad, while i'm sure he's doing his best, just doesn't have the eyesight or patience to be a really good teacher. It's often difficult to get his work done, due to bizzare formatting of all of the required documents, and getting help in class is a slow, arduous process involving lots of patience.

Comment:

Mr. Chin is pro-student when it comes to math. It's not an easy class, but Mr. Chin strives to make sure you understand. He allows time for the students to ask questions and to discuss. He doesn't just show you how, he makes you think about how to solve them. If you need this class and are serious about math, take Mr. Chin. USE MATH RESOURCE CENTER

I've token B. Chin for math 106 over the summer. He's really excellent with math. He teaches very well in the class, and he explains everything well. As long as you complete the hw, class work, and prepare for the exams. Then you should be in good shape.

Comment:

He's very caring and tries to know you personally. His quizzes are the easiest compared to the tests. For his tests, DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING. He's a really tough grader on the tests but not the quizzes in my opinion. His teaching style makes you feel like you are being rushed so if you don't like that, take a 2 hour class instead.

Comment:

He is the nicest and most patient teacher i've had. He does have some trouble seeing so will stand close to the board but I didn't find it an issue at all. If you participate in class it will be easier to get the material. He goes over every problem step by step so you can understand it. Great Class!

Mr. Chin is the BEST math teacher I've ever had. He made calculus easy to understand, goes through each new concept step by step and really makes sure you understand WHY and HOW you get there. Gives lots of time to ask questions answers them thoroughly. Makes sure that everyone is clear on the concepts before moving on. Can't recommend him enough!

Comment:

I had Mr. Chin for Math 3A and he was by far the best math teacher I ever had. He's amusing, clearly knows what he's talking about, and handles the class well. The only issue is that he has terrible eyesight and sometimes students will need to correct his placement of papers under the projector. In the end I'd definitely have him again. :)

Brad Chin is hands down the best math teacher I have EVER had. Walks you through problems, leaves time Inbetween practice problems to allow for questions and for "soaking in" the content. Puts real world stuff into the class, and has a great personality. like a typical math class, work at it and put the time in, and you will get a good grade.

Comment:

Mr. Chin is an amazing teacher. He keeps lectures short and sweet, and is constantly asking to see if there is any confusion with the material... he wants his students to be prepared for the exam. He is always available for extra help and clarification. Homework is all online, due to his partial blindness. He is very clear on his math terminology

Overall great teacher that I wish I could take again. Literally just show up, follow the material, do the homework, and try your best on the tests. Don't be afraid to ask questions because he wants all of his students to fully understand the work. He can be pretty funny at times as well which makes the class even better.

Brad Chin is a good math teacher because he knows what he is doing. The only thing that makes it hard to understand is that he uses too many math term and if you are not familiar with them you it will be hard to understand. There are a lot of homework and his test are hard specially the final.

Comment:

I got less than I needed. Chin is a great teacher, but his vision is horrible (and he speaks weirdly), so he can not help much only if you are verbally perfect in math-language. He would love to help but so many students look for him... Really much homework, lecture notes, makes you spend your free time at the Math Center. Sleep with book to pass.

Comment:

Mr. Chin goes out of his way to explain concepts to all kinds of learners. His tests are short and easier than the homework. He grades very easily. All homework is not due until the night before the test which is nice for busy people. I highly recommend Mr. Chin's class to everyone. He is one of the best math teachers I have had in a while.
