Reviews of professor Michael Choi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Choi's class was quite literally the worst class I took at UCI. He made us purchase iClicker, only to use it TWICE in the entire quarter. The midterm and final were extremely difficult and complete shocks and had averages of BELOW 55%. TAs tried to help, but it wasn't enough. Avoid this class and this professor for our own sanity.

Professor Choi is easily one of the worst professors in Irvine's Economics department. Just because it's his first time teaching, doesn't give him any excuses. He reads the slides to himself, skips over important information, and gives no preparation for the exams. Going to class and discussion is pointless. Prepare to fail.

I would kiss this man on the mouth, best professor I've ever had.

I believe he does his best to prepare u 4 future chemistry courses. U def need to put in work after each lecture, ensure u understand the material to get an A. Open note quizzes were the best! He is helpful with feedback if u go to off. hours. U can get by w/out readin the text. Understand the material inside and out to get the ex credit exam q's

he does give really good lectures, and they are beneficial, however he isn't engaging. if you're ready to sit in a class and pay attention for all 50 minutes, go ahead, but if you know u need motivation to be engaged in the subject, this class isn't the one for u, and save yourself before you end up like me. he's a very firm grader too

This man is living rent free in my head. I'd give him a raise if I could.

You might read these reviews and think people are exaggerating. We're not, it's his first year teaching here and he's SO terrible at it! His lectures are solely concepts, straight from the book, while his homework is solely calculation based; he NEVER ONCE went over formulas we might need! Practice questions and midterm/final are unrelated. Avoid.

Choi knows chemistry, is patient with students, and quick to give coherent explanations. His lectures are exemplary in his cadence and ability to take the class through complicated equations in chemistry. The course content is difficult, but he gives partial credit to a lot of answers.

LOTS OF HOMEWORK, EXTREMELY TOUGH, AND WILL WRECK YOUR GPA. Choi's lectures don't make sense at all because of his very heavy accent and his tests are insanely difficult. He stammers constantly and doesn't understand the course's concepts. The midterm and final made no correlation to what was taught. If you take this class, be prepared to fail.

I honestly think Choi is fine. Easy A if you have taken AP econ. He is super chill if you talk to him in person. You only need an average of 70% for your midterm and final to get an A in this class due to the curve.
