MATH6A . Sung B O A Month Ago

This class made no sense. Other than for lectures the professor is completely not accessible. He never responded to any of my emails and his lectures were some of the worst I've ever listened to. However, he allowed us unlimited notes for both exams and the questions were quite literally the same as the practice midterm. It's an easy grade.

Da Goat somehow got 100% on the midterm

the class wasn't even that bad, he was just new. it was a lot of self-studying and finding your own resources, but the math department just sucks imo so nothing new. we were allowed a cheat sheet for the midterm and final, and he curved. the questions on the exams were sometimes similar to practice midterm. generous with points + slightly curved

Probably a good person and excelled at fitness.

Avoid this professor. Lectures are long and boring with no sense of composure, just poorly narrating as he scribbles on the board. I don't think he's even looked at the homework he assigns as half the problems are absurdly hard or completely irrelevant to the lecture. You are going to have to bust your ass watching youtube videos and online notes

Literally reading and re-write his confusing notes onto the board and giving little and confusing intuitives. Giving homework questions unrelated or untaught, literally learnt the course by learning homework questions and watch YouTube. Ridiculous final, questions not covering the course but too hard.

super confusing guidelines, i.e we were allowed a calculator for the midterm but suddenly weren't allowed a calculator for the final. that would be fine if he had emailed about it beforehand but he never said anything about it even during the exam, only saying so in tiny font on the first page of his exam. hws were difficult and lectures didnt help

Personally didn't learn anything at lectures, he just wrote down his kinda confusing notes and narrated what he was writing. He did curve the class a bit, and tests are similar to practice tests. 30% final, 30% midterm, 30% webwork, 10% section attendance. Honestly, just find out the topics he will teach for the week, and watch YouTube videos.

Somehow managed to get an A because of the curve (average is a B+). If your actually want to learn the material, don't take him. I never went to lecture. Practice exams and final were nothing like the real ones. Horrible professor. On the first day of class he said we should just chatgpt the homework and that we don't even need to do to go to class

He wasn't as bad as what other people said about him. He responded to my emails throughout the course and was understanding when I couldn't make the midterm, I did it in office hours instead the following week. Allowed unlimited notes for final and midterm, practice midterm and final were also practically the same for the tests.

Extremely clear lecturer writes nice and large on the board, goes at the right speed, enunciates well. Will actually take time to understand your question before answering it. He could dedicate more time to the class organization, but overall if you're comfortable with reading the book and trying to follow along in lecture, you'll be fine.

The midterm study guide was nothing like the exam. Midterm was super hard and the final was even harder. I took AP Calc AB in high school and still barely got an A only because I managed to do really well on the midterm. Also just skip lectures and self study because you won't learn anything from them.

He makes no sense in lecture, and I have learned nothing from him. The midterm is way harder than study guide. I learn most stuff from the CLAS then the lecture.

He makes no sense in lecture, and I have learned nothing from him. However, the class is curved, so since the average on the midterm was a 54%, getting a B range grade is attainable.

While the lectures had no organization to them, the practice exams were very similar to the real ones. Even though I did not understand half the material, I was still able to get a decent grade.

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.

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.

Honestly just a mean professor, almost like he goes out of his way to do so. Class is fine, not too strenuous but just not a nice guy and it affects the feel of the class.

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.

This professor literally skipped the first chapter and went straight into advanced concepts on the first day. He's completely uninterested in teaching too. Everyone was lost during lectures, and my friends who continued to crash the class learnt everything by self studying and never attended lecture. Just don't take math if Sung is ur only choice.
