Comment:

Not only he does a lot of heavy lectures, he is not very good at it. Honestly i find it a waste of time going to his class when i can learn a lot better on youtube. With Covid, everything is online. But this professor doesn't respond to emails so communicating with him is impossible, which makes it very hard to catch up with my materials.

Comment:

He Assigns so much Homework, Every day one or more assignments, Not very good at explaining he just kind of bulldozes through the information, and you are left to figure it out. Sometimes will assign a long problem and you will only have 5-10 minutes to submit it which is incredibly stressful. Finally, he grades in massive bursts.

Comment:

Homework is good but getting 30 to 40 questions at the end of the class, which is due on the following class day, its way too much, depending on your situation. This is a first professor, who gives lots of homework and the sad part is, he does go through your problem but he has a limit. Understanding is very important.

Comment:

Professor Lap Ly goes really fast. He rarely review curriculum that comes from earlier math classes. For someone like me who skipped a year of math it was really difficult to continue. He often says This is review from Math 100 or You can finish this is 5 seconds which stressed me out and gave me anxiety. Homework is very heavy, due every day.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. Its a nightmare. He grades every homework assignment, hes kinda rude, and class runs over almost every day. Im an average math student, not great, but not horrible, and this guys class has been so frustrating. The only saving grace is that he allows notes on quizzes and tests. But dont let that encourage you to take him.

Comment:

Honestly he really isnt the best teacher. When he is lecturing and we are taking notes he doesnt fully finish the problem, often times leaving the majority of the class with many questions that he wont answer. Finishing the steps of how to do the problem is really essential to learning the material. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROF, PLS DONT

I used to suck at math so much back in highschool, but it everything changed once I took this Professor. He really wants you to pass and gives you a lot of homework because he wants you to be successful. Thanks to him I am done with my mechanical engineering degree. I never knew my full potential until I took Lap Ly. Thank you Professor

I had the pleasure of taking professor Lap Ly in the spring of 2018. It was a hard class as it has been 10 years since I have taken a math class, but he was excellent. He is accessible if you need help. He goes step by step. He remembers your name and although he has an accent that doesn't prevent him from being an outstanding professor.

Comment:

Has a strong accent and can be hard to understand. Gives out too much homework and will grade it very harshly. Will give quizzes at end of class, so if you don't understand the lecture you'll fail the quiz. Everything is from the book and you won't even use the online portion that comes with it. Would not take again or recommend.

basically whatever is written in the textbook. he writes the notes down on the board and goes through them thoroughly. very slow sometimes. his accent is a little difficult to understand but that isnt that much of a problem when he writes out how you actually solve problems. lots of long long homework,can turn in late work by sliding under his door

Comment:

Do not take this guy. The professor is great when he goes over hw problem if you are stuck with it and also he gives out the key to the exams and quizzes after he has graded them. Things that are bad about this professor is he gives out tons of hw. At most 2 chapters a night. Takes me 4-6 hrs to complete. Exams and quizzes are really difficult.

Comment:

His teaching was a little confusing at first but with time I understood better. Does have an accent so that can affect ones understanding. You'll fail class if you don't do work. GO TO CLASS OR HE WILL DROP YOU 100%! Good personality & is willing to help at all time. Give him a chance before you put him aside.

Professor Ly is a great teacher, may give a lot of homework but they really do help. It may seem tough at first but stick through it because you'll really see that he offers you more help than other teachers do, will go over questions you have on homework, doesn't matter what answers you get as long as you got the process down you'll get points.

Pay close attention to lectures and take good notes and youll make your life much easier. Hes precise when it comes to grading and what you go over in class is on the test and quizzes, maybe one question would be a slightly more advanced application. I really enjoyed the class even though my grade wasnt amazing

Comment:

His class is very easy. He goes through lectures really slow so its easy to keep up if you're a slow student but its painfully annoying if you aren't. He allows you to turn in late work to his office. Tests and quizzes are basically the same as homework. He tends to split chapters though which gets slightly irritating. All in all, its an easy A.
