Reviews of professor Hojong Shin

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
READ THE TEXTBOOK. Bad at teaching, but cares about students. If you go to office hours, he sometimes gives you extra credit for asking a good question. Grading system makes it impossible to get an A (If you get 10 questions wrong the entire semester (including midterm & final), you won't get an A). If finance is not your major, find another prof.

2 group projects, not super hard if you choose your team wisely. His lectures are not the best and at the end of the semester I felt like I didnt learn a thing. This is a very important finance class that will build the foundation for other finance classes, so take someone else if you can. GO TO OFFICE HOURS IF YOU NEED HELP! Hes happy to help

I am not a finance major so it may be why I struggled a bit more but he does not teach very well. He already expects you to know way more than I'm sure most students know and teaches the class as if you're a finance major. He explains concepts too fast and expects us to get it very quickly.

Attendance not mandatory, but highly advisable. Nice enough but doesn't explain things well and is tough to understand (heavy accent). One worksheet weekly and the rest of your grade is exams. Study hard and you can get an A, but you have to work for it. Textbook not used in class but definitely helpful for the worksheets.

He's a new teacher so he's kind of just going with the flow and seeing what works. All the midterms are take home so they're easy to get an A if you do the work. What he expects out of projects is unclear but he's an easy grader. Easy to get a good grade but you don't learn much. He assumes you should know everything from fin 300
