Reviews of professor Seunghoon Na

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is literally the worst at teaching! His lesson plans have no flow and you can barely understand what he is saying. He randomly uses Calculus 2 in the course even though its not a pre-req for the class.

Fairly boring class and most of the content he covered in the lecture wasn't similar to the homework or exams. He made attendance mandatory for no reason and wasted 2 hours of my life every week listening to him "teach" when I could've easily taught myself in less than half the time. One nice thing is there was barely any homework.

We didn't learn much of anything about economics in this class. Everything in lecture was completely theoretical, while the tests and quizzes were all quantitative problems that we had never seen before. Once spent an entire class talking about a model only for him to say it doesn't work. Useless class and bad instruction.

I felt like I learned nothing about real-world macro in his class. His teaching was unstructured, and it was hard to grasp why we are learning these concepts. He also spends so much time deriving equations, but then never fully explains what they mean in the end. Just a very frustrating class to be apart of.

Professor Na may be hard to understand initially because of his accent, but he is one of my favorite professors at Purdue. You will get a good grade if you pay attention in the lecture and do the practice problems. He obviously cares about his students and wants everyone to succeed.

Horrible...Regrets not having listened to others' advice not to take his class. Boring class, strong accent, not a lot of real-world experience. Lectures are conceptual while homework and exams are mathematical. The only good thing is that the exam is very similar to homework. But even if I memorized all the homework problems for the exam, only 75%

I took the online format in the Spring 2021 semester and he's basically didn't care about the online students at all, he just posts the recorded lectures from the classroom to BrightSpace leaving homework and grading without any feedback on wrong answers. didn't hear from the professor about this class at all the whole semester. hard to participate

Nope. Doesn't explain concepts, problem sets are toughly graded, 70% of the grade is exam based. Didn't learn anything, time to retake it.
