He is very understanding and someone you can talk to. If you pay attention in his class then it is very easy and not challenging at all.

If math is a subject you aren't the strongest in, it's important to really pay attention to every detail whenever you're in his class. He does things in an orderly way. Does notes with you, posts homework, then a test is in the future. As long as you are paying attention and asking questions when you need to, you would do well in his class. Also, if you are ever struggling, paying attention, asking questions, seeking for help, and participating really helps. Math, for me, is a class where all you need to do is pay attention to what is going on and you wouldn't have to worry.

Despite math not being my favorite class and this class being the main one I struggled in, this class in itself was one of the most enjoyable parts. He does this thing every Monday where he does journal check ins. He calls it "Mindful Mondays" and I feel like it's the perfect way to start an upcoming week. I also enjoyed the times where he would tell stories or just talk to us as people and not just as students he's teaching. Mr. Lam is a very chill and funny person and all the funny and enjoyable moments in class will be the moments I will remember from this year.
