Comment:

Well I almost crapped myself on the first day when I just entered his calculus class and realized good ol' Ki-Bong does not speak any English. I almost dropped his class until someone told me he has one of the highest ratings here so thank god I stayed. Some times his lectures make no sense until you look on youtube. The guy's hilarious and nice.

Comment:

Professor Nam is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. He cares so much about the success of his students. If you attend class, and actually pay attention, you will do well. He is always willing to help. There is homework for every class session, but it really does help you in the long run.

Ki-Bong is a very easy professor. He has a thick accent so he's hard to understand for the first week or so, then it gets better. Teaches directly from the book. You take 2 take home quizzes and 1 take home test. There are 3 quizzes and 2 tests in class. They are all the same thing. Ki-Bong very easy, easiest A in math i've ever had.

Comment:

I'm terrible at math and the main point in this class is to fill out all answers with some work. Do this and you will get an 80% on every quiz/test. Take two quizzes then a test for 3 units. The quizzes are basically the same and also the same thing on the test so very easy. If you get any less than a B- in this class it just shows you don't care.

When you are thinking about dropping the class, DON'T. He will go over practices problems all class, some of which will be just like the quizzes/tests. There are both take home and in class quizzes/tests. Graded on: 3 Exams (2 IC, 1 TH) 200 pt. each , 5 Quizzes (3 TH, 2 IC) 60 pt. each, Homework (100 pt.), Attendance (100 pt.), Final Exam (400 pt.)

Comment:

When you first hear Ki-Bong, you will think you should drop the class an get another professor. DO NOT DO THAT. Although I still can't comprehend EVERYTHING he says, it gets much easier to understand him. All the problems are straight from the textbook, so if you don't understand, it's right there for you to read. Very easy grader, and very caring.

Best math teacher I have ever had. I HIGHLY recommend him. At first you might not be able to understand him but after a few weeks you get used to it and its not a problem. Many people switch out of his class but they are making a mistake. He grades super easy, and the review material is exactly like the assessments getting me a 100% on every test.

He is the best math teacher I have ever taken. It is hard to understand him, but if you listen and look in the book you will do fine. He sends out notes as well. You always take a take home quiz and then a in class quiz. Theres a take home exam as well. Best part about him is he grades easy. Take him do not worry about if you cannot understand him

Ki-Bong Nam is a GREAT professor. At first, you're going to want to switch out of his class, but DON'T. Right away he is hard to understand, but it'll get easier. He is nice, helpful, funny, and SUCH an easy grader. If you get an entire answer wrong, he will take .2 points off. I finished with a solid A. I HIGHLY recommend him as a professor.

Comment:

Ki Bong is an overall great guy and professor. His accent is hard at first, but the 2nd week you will understand him perfectly. He tries very hard to make sure everyone in the room understands what is being taught and does example problems most of the class. Grades tests pretty easily as long as you do the work for the problem. He is also funny

Comment:

Ki-Bong made me not hate math anymore. I struggled with any math class I took in college except Ki-Bongs, he will always make sure you understand the material and does alot of examples in class that are relative to all the exams. If you are not good at math but still put in good effort there isn't another professor I would recommend.

Comment:

I took Ki-Bong Nam for two different classes. It's hard to understand him at times (most of the time). However if you come to class most of the time(even here and there), do the homework(at least the majority), and take the test (which most are take home test anyway minus a few in class but always based off the take home one) its the easiest A!

I have Professor Ki-Bong Nam for Math-143. So far in the semester he has been one of the most kind and caring professors I have ever had. I would recommend him to anyone. He has an accent but he is still easy to understand. He cares about his students and that is clear.

Comment:

Ki-Bong is the man. Straight up. He can't speak a lick of English except for a distinct AHMMMM or AHHHH every now and then. Don't bother trying to understand what he writes on the board either its chicken scratch for days. He recognizes effort and knows deep down that nobody knows what he is talking about anyhow...and that's what's most humorous.

Comment:

This teacher is very funny and kind. His teaching method is going through all of the examples from the book and explaining them on the board. His quizzes and exams all flow from each other and he is a very easy grader! If I had to take this class again id take it with him every time!
