Reviews of professor Phillip Keejae Hong

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I've never seen a teacher who is happy about a 70% test average. The class is extremely difficult and there was no EC nor curves on exams like previously stated. If this wasn't my last semester I would consider switching majors. Video lectures are meant to teach you (they don't). Also office hours are more him telling you why you don't understand

Keejae is a good guy, decent professor. He is enthusiastic and caring, always asking if everyone follows. He tries to get the best out of students. His hand-writing is super sloppy and makes your life so much harder. He teaches all over the place, bouncing back-and-forth to different topics. Try and get him to follow his guided notes. Good luck

Professor Hong was my first experience with Accounting. He is very easy to get ahold of and probably the fastest ever at grading. The homework is time-consuming but not difficult really, and he grades extremely generously. Overall, great class, great dude.

Dr. Hong was very clear with grading and expectations. Midterm and final exams are both difficult. If you put in the effort, do homework, quizzes, discussion boards and group projects an A is possible.

Dr. Hong is the best professor I have had. 500-level classes aren't easy and you'll need to study a lot, but he puts in a lot of effort to present information in the best way possible. He is more than fair, respectful, and always willing to help. I wish I had taken him for more classes.

Knows accounting very well & is a nice guy. A bit difficult to actually learn in class though. Often asked to answer questions before fully understanding the material. Group quizzes. The exams were all multiple choice, which was nice. I'd recommend getting wileyplus (no book) & using the powerpoints. Have to be able to learn/study well on your own.

He refused to meet outside of class to go over exams, so I could not learn what I did wrong. He constantly read questions and realized they were not correct. He got corrected by students a lot and people never could read his hand writing. Finally all exams had class average of C or lower with one student ruining the curve

Keejae is a nice guy and knows the subject matter really well, however, his class is difficult and a lot of the grading criteria is unclear. Make sure that you make time to study outside of class, or having an "accounting weekend" as he says in class.

Prof Hong is an awesome guy. He really cares about his students & if you're an accounting major he will offer so much help to get you through his class. He doesn't want anyone to fail. I've been to his office multiple times and he's always so helpful. Lectures make sense and he gives out notes that make the material much more clear.
