Reviews of professor Sung Kim

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
RUN AWAY!!!  This class was miserable.  7 quizzes only to determine your grade and he LOVED to make the questions tricky for you to answer.  0 extra credit.

There is an exam every week. The first three exams are not bad. Exam 4 was the most challenging bc there were a lot of formulas to memorize. Ample time is given on all exams.  Just memorize the formulas, watch his videos and take good notes. Do the practice problems until you feel 100% confident. Dr. Sung responds promptly to all questions.

BEST PROF EVER! Really easy lectures and homework. He is available whenever you need help!

There is one homework assignment and one exam every week. Also has 2 final exams. weird. Overall he didn't really teach anything, the class was just simple on its own. I didn't really learn much either but it was easy enough to pass.

I can't understand anything he says because his accent is too heavy, and his material needs to go through Grammarly because it's grammatically incorrect. I couldn't possibly fathom how a doctor does not know how to write with basic grammar.

When asking for help, very inconsiderate and rude. I had an issue with R (the program) providing screenshots and everything and I failed an assignment and he did nothing to help. Exams were a struggle because of wording or the questions.

Practice tests are like the exams. but you'll basically be teaching yourself. Certain exam questions are not explained or taught clearly. I didn't learn anything of real value in this class. I just had to memorize a bunch of formulas to pass tests. If you are a Finance major and you need to LEARN finance. I would not suggest Sung AT ALL.

Unless you have taken an undergrad financial course, expect to learn the material by watching other university lecture videos off Youtube. The lecture videos the professor gives are worthless, it's basically him doing examples of problems. The class is based on 7 tests which resemble the practice tests so if you can do those you'll be fine.

First few weeks were smooth sailing, and the class was rather interesting and enjoyable. Around week 4, everything changed. He started cramming TONS of information and formulas into just one week. Very little practice was explained in the lectures. No crib sheets allowed for the DOZENS of formulas he throws at you. Really awful experience.

The only grades will be 7 exams and honestly if memorization is not your strong suit then maybe this isn't the class or professor for you
