i found this class to be one of my favorite math classes but it is certainly hard and you need to put in the work. i ended up doing well though

Surprised that I ended up with an A in the class because of how much I struggled through it. Going to class is not representative of the content on the exams and honestly just confused me more. Supplement class with Khan academy for sure. Super super nice guy though.

Rim is a nice person and an average lecturer. He answers questions thoroughly but sometimes spends too much time doing so, to the point that he leaves out or glosses over critical concepts which end up appearing on the exams. He altered the homework multiple times because there were mistakes or he had forgotten to cover the material.

I do not understand why Prof Rim has been rated so badly. In my opinion, he is a great professor and it is easy to earn a good score in his class. His notes is clear and he tries his best to help students.

Attend lectures, do the homework and you should do well. Lectures follow the textbook so you can get away with skipping lectures, but I wouldn't recommend it because he talks about homework and we got off track from the syllabus schedule. Don't be too stressed if your grade is lower than expected because he curves tests at the end of the year.

Dr. Rim is great! I went to his office hour a couple of times and he is super helpful. After he knows I never went to his class, he did not blame me or complain about it and suggested I read the textbook.

Beginning of the semester was a little rough, lectures could've maybe been planned/organized better. There wasn't too much feedback on work, grading was a little slow. With that said, Rim does care about his students and wants them to be successful. Overall content wasn't too bad, sometimes tests were tricky but partial credit was provided.

Rim is uniquely humorous and caring. Though he usually teaches graduate students, he did adjust his way of teaching throughout the semester, and inspired students to seek knowledge instead of merely achieving good grades.

Restating what someone else said but lectures were definitely super theoretical and often confusing, and he had the habit of going over a lot of proofy stuff and explaining things in an unnecessarily convoluted way. My advice is to learn primarily from the textbook and go to lecture/OH for to review what you read.

His lectures were not helpful AT ALL. A lot of what he explains is super theoretical and is like you are reading a more confusing version of the textbook.
