MATH108A . Sung B O 5 Months Ago

Clearly does not care about the class, refuses to post anything on canvas, super late on posting practice exams, no communication with TA, and will NEVER respond to your emails. Lectures are pretty much useless, so you're better off reading the textbook. 40% average for the midterm, but curves the class at the end which is his only positive.

MATH8 . Sung B O 5 Months Ago

The teacher taught me nothing. If you want to learn anything, don't take his class. He talked about cardinality of sets and bijections from the natural numbers on day 1 without introducing sets and logic. I feel bad for the math majors who have to use this as a starting point for math. Hard topics compared to content, easy if you already know it.

Just not a good teacher. He barely explains anything during lecture, jumping into advanced concepts out of nowhere while writing from a paper he prepared beforehand, and his homeworks have nothing to do with lecture 90% of the time. You'd be better off skipping lecture and self studying.

i have to say that sung is not a good profession when teaching, but he is not a bad grader. He gives curves to ensure most people gets an A or B+, and almost all of the questions on exams were given in practice exams. If you do all the homework and take the exams seriously, A won't be hard.

Literally just a textbook, honestly got confused by some of his own questions. Tests were fair and were similar to practice exams. Clearly loved doing physics in math.
