Reviews of professor Seoyeon Hong

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I am taking Intro to PR/Research with her right now, I honestly wished I had taken a different teacher for this requirement. She gives so much work and expects so much of her students. She gives grades of 1.25 for assignments that take hours. If you can take another professor for research, take them!!!!

She spends the entire class time reading her 50 page powerpoints to you. You will do tons of in-class work that counts for 5 points, and you will likely get a weird grade like 4.6/5. Your grade will end up being the average of a difficult grammar test, a midterm and final. She will not prepare you for the Advanced PR writing you have to take after.

It is a lot of reading long-winded out-dated papers and writing about them most weeks. Of course this means the final is a group paper (and poster) of the same theme. Lectures themselves are both boring and sped through, which makes it hard to takes notes for the open-note tests. All the assignments are a lot of work for little reward.

Dr. Hong is very professional and seemed to want us all to pass with high expectations. There was a lot to study but her slides were very organized and helpful. Easy grader and puts efforts to ensure we understands. She cares about what she teaches and really tries to make lectures exciting and funny. I liked her!

One of the smartest teachers Ive ever met. Plus, she cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. Study the lecture note and powerpoints are always accessible but I did not enjoy reading too much. Final requires lots of participation. Weekly readings are hard to understand but she will help you to the right direction.

Her class is hard. Lots of readings and many quizzes. But if you can focus throughout the semester you will eventually learn something. Final project is a group work which I did not like, but the poster presentarion was a special experience. You can def put it in your resume

I took her class this semester. She is a great person but a tough professor. She knows all his students by first name and provides detailed feedback, which is nice. But the material, quizzes, readings, and lecture itself are not easy by any means. You just need to stay on top of your work and listen in class.

Choose a different professor seriously. She clearly thinks this is the only class students are taking in one semster because the workload is inconsiderate and absurd. Also with the amount of work she gives, you would think that she would give out more points but she doesn't.
