Comment:

Bad bad bad teacher. He doesn't explain material. He has an accent so it's hard to understand him. He basically expects you to know everything. He talks and talks and talks. Never answers a question correctly. Very bad class.

Comment:

MOST TERRIBLE TEACHER AT PIERCE! His lectures do not match his tests given. Does not give any homework. Barely reviews for the final sometimes I think he's just talking to himself when lecturing. You will get confused very easily. Hours and hours of studying much needed.

Comment:

Hard class. Teacher has a very heavy accent so its hard to follow at times. He missed so much class throughout this semester we either didn't have class or we had sub. He wasn't even there for the final. No homework is a plus but your grade is based only on 4 test and the final is double. Don't take this class if your not going to give it your all

Comment:

It's hard to get an A in the class, but if all you want is a B then his class is highly recommended. His lecture is kind of confusing, but you'll get it in the end. Exams are all MC questions, but they're all very tricky. He will help you if you ask him.

Comment:

Don't be deceived. This is not an easy A class. Sure, there's no HW issued throughout the semester, but I really wish there had been. His lectures lack structure, his syllabus is all but helpful, & his explanation of the course material is confusing. Take this class with another professor.

Comment:

Proff Hong is nice but hard to understand. He talks pretty fast and has an accent that can be confusing when the terms being used sound alike. The book is used a lot but he states that what it says is wrong a lot! He does review his quizzes but the're pretty hard plus 50% of your grade is the final while 45% quizzes giving you little oppor. to pass

Comment:

Philosophy 6, Logic in Practice. I learned a lot. Very hard tests though. The teacher tries to explain everything. I give him credit for that. But, the tests are not always reflective to what is done in class. Need more examples. Nice to not have homework, but could have used it. Would have helped me.

He was a funny teacher, he always gave a review before the test and gave the answers after the tests. Used the book A LOT. Not too hard, a little confusing at times, he spoke really fast. Overall, I think he is a good teacher.

WARNING ALL STUDENTS:DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! I am an A student and I am barely squeaking by with a C--going into the final. His final is cumulative, worth 55 percent of your grade, and is new material (no previous quiz questions on final.) Difficult to understand, but if you do the reading before class, you will be WAY better off. NO SLACKING OFF!!!

Comment:

I took his class last winter. He has an accent but you'll get used to it. Very interesting class. You'll never get bored. He's late 5-10 mins most of the time. Reviews/Sample questions before the test. Final is easy. He is a very helpful prof and for me, the nicest teacher I've ever met at Pierce. Take his class and you'll have fun learning Philo.

*****BEWARE***** THIS PROFFESOR WILL DEFINITELY GET YOU LOST, HE HAS A DEEP ACCENT, THE TEST Q'S WILL DEFINITELY THROW YOU OFF SOME OF THE Q'S ARE VERY TRICKY AND WERE NOT DISCUSSED IN THE LECTURES. YOU'LL BE BETTER OFF DOING THE READING THEN LISTENING TO HIS LECTURES. YOU'LL STILL END UP READING IN CLASS ANY WAY. TRUST ME FIND ANOTHER PROFESSOR.

I love when he draws trees and stuff, it's classic! I didn't have the book, I missed a week or class, and I bombed the final. I ended up getting a B, and this was during summer! The final was insane and made no sense lol. Just take good notes and try to understand what he's saying.
