Comment:

Took her calculus 1 class over the summer. Lectures were extremely clear/thorough, & homework load is a little on the heavy side. Really enjoyed her class, you could tell that shes very knowledgeable & passionate about what shes teaching & is also super sweet! Provides really helpful practice tests before exams, and helps when you are confused.

Comment:

Her teaching style is not for everyone, she basically goes through homework examples during her lectures but doesn't clearly teach or explain well. I am not the best at math so it would take me 3+ hours to figure out and do her homework each time, and there is A LOT. Though, if you dedicate time to the work and fail the tests, you'll pass.

Comment:

Super sweet and very informative, but LOADS OF HOMEWORK. You have to weekly participate in the group discussions and weekly homework. On top of that, you will have to do projects and take tests. Prepare to spend time on her class to pass with a decent grade.

Comment:

So kind and sweet! Very approachable. Took her online due to COVID and she made it very accessible. There's A LOT of homework, however with the large amounts of homework grades it's very possible to fail all 3 test and still pass the class. She notices if you're lazy and don't care about your grade. But if she sees you try, she will cater to you!

Comment:

Professor Lum is a good teacher if you are a quick learner and on top of your stuff. She teaches the material and assigns an average amount of homework. She is a decent teacher but, if you struggle in math you may struggle in this class.

Super caring and understanding! Just attend class, pay attention (don't use your phone!!), do the hw, and participate A! Lectures at a nice pace. If you feel lost, she will gladly help u understand. Weekly hw and a group project. There is a lot of group work so make sure you like the people around you. You can do test corrections too.

Comment:

Prof. Lum is a true gem of a teacher. Caring, flexible, and available to students through many office hours. She wants you to pass her class and offers test corrections to bring up your grade. She explains each concept in multiple ways and is improving her class every semester based on student feedback. I wish she taught every math class I need.

Comment:

One of the best professors ever, def 3 standard deviations right of the mean! Stats is an inherently difficult subject, but she teaches the material at a comfortable pace to make sure most things are covered well. Lots of hw & group work, but allows cheat index cards for tests, and grades on a curve. You won't find a better stats teacher at CCSF.

Comment:

If you struggle with math, do not take her class. She would go through the lectures too quickly, and many of us struggling with the subject would ask questions or for help, and she would roll her eyes and get annoyed at us for asking for help. I've never had a professor be so unwilling to help her students succeed in class.

Professor Lum is so caring and thoughtful. She gives a lot of homework before exams but it is for the better and very doable. The group participation is not so bad as everyone else here says. I enjoyed her class and enjoyed her as a professor.

Comment:

Hard class. I feel that as a teacher, if u assign homework & practice tests, the teacher should go over the homework & practice tests & Prof Lum lacks that. She doesn't offer really any extra credit (only 5 points on the final) even though basically all her students greatly need it. I just wish she offered more help to her students and went slower.

Ms. Lum is an amazing teacher, her speed of teaching is slow, slow enough for you to fully understand the whole concept. ask her question if you have any, she's always passionate to answer you and help you. tests and homework are not difficult but many reflection papers to write. take her!

Comment:

She moves a little slow paced, so if you struggle with math/statistics you'll really appreciate her. There is weekly homework, but it's always exactly what we practiced in class, so if you show up and participate everything should come pretty easily. She offers test corrections and other extra credit opportunities. She truly wants you to do well!

Comment:

Statistics, by itself, is the hardly understandable subject but Ms. Lum can make it easy for you if you r willing to learn it. If you even are not good in math, take her class, do yr homework, meet her in her office hours, ask any questions even if you think that this is stupid one. Shes very patient and caring about her students who learn math.

Comment:

Ms. Lum is one of the best teachers I had. She uses her handouts that are straightforward. The OLI questions are tricky. I worked with a tutor in LAC to practice and get them right. The tests are not hard if you go over the handout beforehand. She split the project into 3 phases, so it is easier to finish it.

Comment:

By far the best teachers I've ever had! Caring, passionate, patient, and actually cares about you learning MATH. Ms. Lum is a jewel! Easy, but only if you try. I've never been a math person, but after taking her class, I am confident in math and considering taking the next level, although I have completed my math requirement as a Business major.
