Dr. Park is wonderful. He will use his prepared notes for teaching and after class he updates them too, so dont worry if you miss some parts in class. If you spend time reviewing all the homework and notes, its easy to get 90+ in his exams because problems are nearly the same. He also considers for partial credits in some exams. TAKE HIS CLASS!

Dr. Park explains the material very thoroughly and does plenty of example problems. If you show up to class and take notes, you shouldn't have a problem passing the class. His quizzes and tests are directly based off of in class example problems and homework. Do the work and show up and you'll get an A.

Park is the worst math teacher I have had a TCU. Made me feel discouraged and was arrogant when asking for help. Also forget about partial credit because you will get none.

Park's tests are mostly from his notes but changes the problems a little. However, he is a INCREDIBLY tough grader. It is ridiculous how harsh he is when giving partial credit. Also his humor gets old quick. Rude in office hours too. AVOID HIM.

Dr. Park is the best professor I have ever had for a class. He is very straight to the point and teaches things in a way that is easy to understand. He does give pop quizzes once a week, so study before each class a bit. But the pop quizzes are helpful because they are exactly like the tests.

I love Efton Park! I took him for Discrete Math I and Graph Theory... Incredibly caring, funny, and smart guy. He's the reason I became a math major, went and got my masters in math, and now a college level instructor. Go to class (pop quizzes), you will learn some math and get a good laugh.

Great professor. Class is mainly him giving examples of problems exactly like test. He gives a lot of pop quizzes so you can't really miss class. His lectures are easy to understand and all homework is online. Tests are only 6-8 problems

Dr. Park is one of the best math professors I have had. His class is challenging but he is very helpful in office hours (holds a lot, too). Lectures are really funny too and you aren't bored in class. Exams are hard so make sure to study a lot for those and beware of random pop quizzes

As long as you take notes and review you'll rock this class. He does give quizzes but there expected, the quizzes are the exact same as the test. Awesome class he's super funny, very clear and overall it was a good class. It does take some work but it's good!

Dr. Park was one of my favorite math teachers. I had to retake this class and did it over the summer. It was really simple as long as you study and do your homework. Expect daily quizzes if not weekly quizzes. But overall a great class.

Dr. Park is my favorite professor I've taken at TCU. His teaching style is very clear, and is always so helpful at his office hours! (Highly recommend going). If you do a lot of practice problems from the homework before the exams, you will do very well. He gives pop quizzes so study every day! (which will help come exam time!) Hilarious, too.

I never thought that the funniest professor I would ever have would be a calculus professor, but Dr. Park proved me wrong. He is an absolute riot. As for the class, do the homework and make sure you do it right, that alone will prepare you for pop quizzes. When studying for exams, go above and beyond lecture notes and homework- exams are hard.

Dr. Park is a great teacher. He explains all new concepts step-by-step. He might jump a few steps once you have moved beyond a basic understanding of the underlying concept he is teaching, but is always willing to explain all the bits and pieces if you ask. And his method is clear and I love his class! Calc 1...

he is so corny! I love this guy. He was such a nice teacher. he bumped my grade up to an A even though i had about an 88 but bc i was in class and did the work he gave me some extra credit for trying. He is really helpful and always tells silly jokes. Hes just weird but in a good way. A is very possible

Super nice guy, but not the easiest class. The tests are disproportionately harder than the homework, which he fails to realize. Hes always willing to help, and has a odd since of humor that will keep the class from every dragging too bad. Not a bad class, just be mindful of the tests.

Nice guy. However, if you take no other warning take this one. When he says that "if you are able to do the homework, you will do fine on the test." -- Just know that is a complete and utter lie. The tests are 50x harder than anything he gives for homework or does in class. If you have not had calc before I would recomend another prof.
