Comment:

I took this professor for my last Math requirement. He is undoubtedly the worst professor I have EVER had. He warns you of how difficult he makes the class to pass. If you do not solve it in the way he sees fit, don't even bother, or think of any partial credit. I would not suggest taking this prof if you are not the strongest Math student.

Kent Sun is easily the worst professor I have ever had and it's really not even close. There's no words in the English language vile enough to describe how awful he is. In all seriousness. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TAKE HIM. You're wasting your time and money. Honestly felt like I wasn't supposed to pass the class. A 200 level class...

Possibly the worst professor Ive ever had. He flys through content, grades only about 25% of the homework you turn in and if you get those 25% wrong sorry you fail the entire homework. Exams are always too long and too hard, I remember one exam where there was a class average of 59%. I ended up dropping the class after that. Dont take Dr. Sun.

I still got a good grade in this class, but it was no thanks to Dr. Sun. Basically had to teach the material to myself with the textbook, so it was a good thing I had a really strong background in math prior to this class. Good luck to you if you don't...

Just don't. The first day of class he'll tell you that his passing rate is very low. I thought I would be ok as math is my favorite subject.. but no. You're not learning how to do the actual math here, he gets frustrated easy when there's too many questions because he goes so fast and doesn't make sense. uses a horrible textbook that hardly helps

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Do not take classes with this man. He will threaten your grade and actively try to fail you. He has no concern for how people do in the class. As he stated before last semester 50% of this class failed. He will not help you when you need it, and will belittle you when you ask for it! AVOID THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS!!!!!

Avoid Kent Sun at all costs. He is honestly a terrible teacher. His expectations are impossibly high. I took a very similar class in high school with an awesome teacher and passed with an A. I struggled more than I ever have through Kent Sun's course because of his unrealistic standards for his students.

Worst prof I've ever had. If it's your last semester and you have to take him for a math class, just take an extra semester and avoid him. Contradicts himself, auto-fails students with <60% on homework (hw is worth 6% of the final grade), and writes confusing tests. He's inconsiderate of your other classes, work schedule, and health. Terrible!

Do not take Kent. I knew the test average was going to be low and yet he did nothing about it. Notes? Do not correlate with some homework problems. Tests? Too long to not finish in class. You need to get a 60% or higher on homework in about two months in, unless you need to withdraw from the class, even if you have an A in the class. Take Price.

Best of luck is the best words I have for this class. He intentionally give notes in class that are easy and PURPOSELY gives homework, bookwork and online, that is extremely difficult. Ontop of struggling every night, he grades on accuracy. On top of that, you have to have a 75% half way through the semester on your homework grade and before final.

I do not recommend taking a class with Dr. Sun. More than half of my class withdrew because it was so difficult. I had taken a calculus class before this one and that's the only reason I got a good grade. My test grades plummeted as soon as we got into material I hadn't done before. He's very confusing, even to someone who knew the material before.

Kent has to be one of the worst teachers I've had. Most of the time he has no idea what he is talking about but still holds his students to impossible standards, he marks you down on your homework for not doing things that weren't even in the directions, and treats his students like they are ignorant. I do NOT recommend taking a class with him.

Nothing stressed me out more than taking a class with Sun, I often left lectures feeling very confused. There are also daily quizzes that you only have two minutes to complete. Throughout the semester he also gives 9 exams. On some exams he'll mark you down for mistakes and some he won't. Literally the only reason I passed this class was tutoring.

Dr. Sun has a good sense of humor and tries to keep the class light, and is very easy to get aloud of outside of class. I was sick for a day, so I set up a meeting with him-which he worked around my schedule for-to go over what I missed. You have quizzes just about every day, but they're worth very little points. Overall, a solid teacher. 9/10

He gives you 9 exam throughout the semester. Gives you quizzes everyday. Rushes through lecture due to the fact of having to take the quizzes. Gets side tracked very easily. Doesn't go in depth in his lectures and just has you copy down the notes and expects you to teach yourself.

I highly suggest avoiding this teacher at all costs. You WILL regret taking his class. Terrible at lecturing, makes you feel stupid for asking questions, quiz every single day in class and he only gives you 3-5 minutes to do each quiz, and he can not explain anything to save his life. Also Very judgemental towards his students.
