Reviews of professor Seunghoon Na

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Felt like I have cheated my way out of intermediate macroeconomics. Not a great prof, has a hard time distilling concepts. Not a big fan of his teaching. Might retake the course to get a better grasp of intermediate Macroeconomics. I had to read the textbook to connect the topics as they were building up. Please avoid if you wish to learn.

This is the least I've ever understood a class. His lectures are so hard to understand, and irrelevant to the actual concepts- I'd say that only around 15 minutes of every lecture actually teaches you how to complete the problems. He is also not receptive to questions, so there is no actual way to learn in this class outside of teaching yourself.

Do not listen to the other reviews of Dr. Na. Yes, his lectures are abstract, but he is a true macroeconomic expert. His knowledge and passion for the subject matter are obvious, and you should not be afraid of his class. Also, given the opportunity, he is pretty funny. Go to office hours, do the problem sets, and you'll have no trouble.

I really liked his class. Recently taught and the assignments were pretty straightforward if you worked on them and put your invested a good amount of time in them. The best part was the exam had no surprises and most were straight out of the assignments or homework. So if you did the homework seriously you would do well in the course.

Great professor. It might be difficult to understand what he says sometimes. The course was based on quizzes, one midterm and a final. It is a very good idea to attend the lectures to do well on the quizzes and exams. You need to put in the time to understand the material and solve the problem sets to prepare for the quizzes and exams. Great course

For Na, you should definitely go to his lectures and PAY ATTENTION. If you do this - you will not struggle. If you do not, goodluck and pray for the curve. He simplified the lectures a ton since all of the bad ratings so for those going in, you will be fine. He also is really funny.

This is the worst professor I've ever had. Do not take this class if Seunghoon Na is teaching it.

Does a poor job of distilling information and conveying what we are supposed to take away from any given derivation/concept. Few if any examples in notes to help with problem sets/exams. Rarely relates mathematical work/variables to what they represent in the real world. Caring person, but feels like I've been cheated out of really learning macro.

I have nothing against him personally, he knows macro very well and will be somewhat helpful if you attend office hours. However, he is a very poor instructor, takes roll every class like its middle school, veers off topic often, doesn't engage students, and gives few examples in class to prepare students. Don't take pictures of his notes either!
