Comment:
He has a good knowledge of the course but is hard to understand when talking. I had a hell of a time staying focused in his class cause it passes slowly and he isn't very engaging. He rushes students out of the classroom at the end of class. I found I learned more from just reading the textbook than actually listening to him teach

Comment:
His lectures are useless, you can't understand him that well due to his accent, so you basically have to teach yourself the course. His notes are on a over head and he writes with a marker so you cant even see it clearly, also his exams are difficult. However, on a positive note he will help you out if you ask.

Comment:
He his a qualified economist, just not a qualified teacher. Very hard to understand him with his Chinese accent and constant use of abbreviations, not to mention he speaks very quietly.. (I'm Chinese myself) He doesn't refer to the text book at all so it is confusing to study from the text book. He rushes through his lessons with an hour left.

Comment:
He isn't a great teacher. He is rude and isn't open to help. PS if you're a student registered with disability services, get ready for him to insult you. I've had him twice, he knows his stuff but he honestly has no effective teaching skills.

Mr.Lum is good at teaching Econ. His class notes greatly help us to handle this course. He really wants all of his students to meet the requirements of this course. He is one of the great teachers.

Comment:
He didn't realize we had 2 holidays that occured on days of classes, back to back. So that really ended up screwing us over as we had to cram in an additional 4 chapters in just 2 weeks, note we only had 1 class each week.

Comment:
Smart about economics but needs some training on how to teach it. He is difficult to understand to begin with and when he is lecturing, he often blocks parts of the screen/display so don't sit in the middle. You will do a lot of self-teaching from the textbook.

Comment:
Mr.Lum has a very soft-spoken voice so it would be wise not to sit all the way in the back. His notes are simplified and he genuinely wants his students to do well. You need to study consistently to do well in this course regardless of the teacher.

He knows economics through and through, but this doesn't help me because I can't understand a word he says. It's too bad because he is very nice and wants to help.

He will actually teach you! he is very smart! there is a slight language barrier, but you can get past it! economics is not an easy class and he makes it easy by actually teaching you!! take his class if you dont mind getting past the language barrier

Not sure if it is just him or the course but I found the class to be super easy (I think its him). He gives good notes that are easy to follow, his quiz's are super easy and his midterm was like a quiz but longer. I would recommend attending class as he assigns group work at the end of each class which also helps with understanding of course

Comment:
Such a cute little man! He's got a an asian accent, but if you pay attention, it doesn't interfere with learning. He doesn't take himself seriously, and everyone loves that. He tells great stories to explain theory and makes the class enjoyable for everyone. Just took Microecon with him and making sure to take Macro with him as well.

He makes his class as easy as possible and his tests and quizes are fairly easy if you read the textbook. He tries not to fail his students and wants them to do well.

Such a nice man! Made the course so much easier to understand and enjoyable. Posts his own, easy-to-follow notes online (print them prior to class) that make everything so clear. He always has cute little stories and jokes as well, definitely the best Economics teacher at Cap.

Lum gets a bad rap for his accent, but he sounds hilarious and he knows it too. He knows a lot about the things he teaches and is very accommodating to students.
