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.

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.

don't do it

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.

He just writes and reads through the examples in the textbook during lectures. So it's like leading you to read the textbook during lecture times. The exams are pretty fair. They're similar to the practice ones; everything was covered during the class and homework. You will get an A if you know each question on the practice exam.

Overall a very poor teacher. Clearly not interested in teaching, which is fine but it spilled into him having little effort into his lectures. He very poorly communicated with the TA as well, leading to almost useless sections that added to more confusion on the content in the class. Homework was also incredibly difficult, and diverged from lecture

This guy doesn't know how to teach. Paul's Online Math Note is significantly more helpful and efficient.

i love physics so much after this class (please tell someone that he needs to actually care about the class i think i lost half my lifespan)

There has gotta be some kind of lecture workshop they can put new professors through so this doesn't happen. Class felt incredibly unorganized, even by UCSB standards. Sung seems like a nice guy but your true professor will be named Paul and his lectures are found on Paul's Online Math Notes. Good luck.
