Comment:

Prof. Kang was one of my favorite professors. He explained everything very well, and would go over things you didn't understand. He doesn't go over everything in class, so you do need to read. He had pop quizzes, but you were allowed to work with other people on them. He was funny and overall, a really good professor. I enjoyed his class.

Although I don't remember much from it, I liked this class. Yes, the content is difficult, but he makes sure that you can at least understand it. He gives pop quizzes, but you can review with people around you, and even then, if you don't understand, he'll take time to help you. 20 E.C. points are offered, and the assignments are really easy.

Comment:

He doesn't teach all the things that appear on the test, so make sure you keep up with the readings. He's not a harsh or means professor, and he tries his best to ensure students understand the concepts and get the most out of the class. He does give pop quizzes as the attendance grade, but he hints at when they're coming up and they aren't hard

Took an online class with him, it was just chapter readings/quizzes, and then some proctored tests. No cumulative final. Economics is not super easy, so be prepared to have to think!

Comment:

Go to class, take your quizzes and you probably will be just fine. If you don't have previous econ or finance class buy the text book and read before class. Accent is thick but pay close attention as much as you can, you will need it for exams. Lots of extra credit.

Comment:

He posts online video lectures (which I'm pretty sure he used a potato to record). They are impossible to understand. I understood like every 7th word or so. His thick accent plus the potato quality recordings make the tests really difficult because he tests on things he says rather than the text or power points.

Taken in the Summer and was a very easy class, for an Economics class. He had funny stories to tell and tests related to exactly what was mentioned in class.

Comment:

He is Korean, hard to understand his accent. Not much helpful. Makes it hard for students. But he knows a lot. Hard grader. If you miss anything there is no 2nd chance. Quiz at the end of every class. I do not recommend to a lazy or average student.... good students can take it and will get out with an A if you study

Comment:

Not the easiest of topics but an A is not out of reach. Read the book for online quizzes and be ready to take pop quiz in class on most recent lecture material. If you study from the online quizzes and make sure you understand the graphs and material he goes over in class the 3 tests shouldn't be a problem. Also, he gives some extra cred opportunit

This is the toughest online class I have taken. Weekly quizzes must be completed every Wednesday. The questions are worded in a tricky way and answers are hard to find! There are 3 proctored exams -no cumulative final. Video recording of the chapters are on D2L which is nice. To be successful on exams, read the chapters and study the quiz questions

Listen and participate in an online lecture once a week. He gives easy pop quizzes in the end. Do the online quizzes and participate in voluntary D2l discussion. Also read the book!! Take him there are many extra credit opportunities to raise your grade! If you give zero effort that's when you will fail.

Comment:

I found this course to be challenging, but worth-while. Each week there is two chapters to read through and a quiz. This course does not have a final, but instead has three exams throughout the semester. If you put in the energy to carefully read through the chapters, watch the videos, and communicate with the teacher, it's easy to be successful.

Great and interesting Class. Read textbook before class starts to understand material. Professor explains material so well, and please take notes. Take quizzes on time, review the quizzes and if you have questions, please ask. Understanding of materials and quizzes will help on exams. Don't get lazy with this class. If you work hard, it's easy "A"

Hard Class. Two people in our class got an A. The rest with C's and D's. First C I have ever recived in college. Tests are confusing, so if you take this class study weeks before the exam.

Hard to understand, but very helpful if you need it. Too bad only one person in our class got an A, the majority got D's. I studied at t 12 hours for each exam and still failed.

Kang's class is hard. You WILL have to work hard if you want an A or B. I hate economics but surprisingly got an A, one out of only 4 in the class. Test questions are often the same as quiz questions, but the last test is extremely hard! Make sure to do the extra credit. Easy 20 points.

Attend live online lectures once a week for "pop quiz" (easy attendance pts). Online quiz on each chapter (more easy points). Tests-some questions are straight from the online quizzes, READ THE TEXTBOOK (if you dont, tests will be difficult). Plenty of extra credit opportunities. He has a great sense of humor. Best Econ prof i've had

Great Professor! I took this class as a PSEO student and received an A. I did not take notes, just studied from the book and the online quizzes. One of my favorite classes by far! I did not have any problems understanding him at all. Highly recommended.
