Comment:

This is not an easy class. There is homework due about every 4 days. However, even as a procrastinator, I was able to stay on top of it. His online book is awesome. He has very carefully organized the course to help you actually learn the material and stay on top of the homework. He can be a bit stubborn if you miss a deadline, but he is reasonable

Comment:

My all time favorite professor in the online MBA program. He makes his own videos, own textbook, own animations on youtube for the purpose of instruction. THIS PROFESSOR IS GREAT! No other teacher in the program has put in so much effort for the students. Thank you for all of your instruction.

Designs his class so that the bulk of students will receive a B with some work. A's are almost impossible to get unless you're the**** like myself. Great teacher. Life changing. Will be missed.

His first test and first few quizzes are kind of tough, but they get ridiculously easy mid semester. He's pretty funny and provides a FREE online text book (that he says he spend a quarter million dollars to make). I highly suggest taking this course from him.

He is a great teacher! He makes the class fun and you learn at the same time. The book is free! All of your work is online including tests. I would recommend him to anyone.

Comment:

Total jerk with zero respect for students. Wants everyone to answer his in-class questions but belittles anyone who doesn't answer the exact way he wants and will make you feel like you should be wearing a helmet if you can't answer his "basic easy questions." Tests are hard too, despite being online.

Comment:

dr. fung is great, he is almost a caricature of himself. he jokes all the time and manages to keep the class interesting (mostly). i had him for the intro to microeconomics course and it was good. also, the online textbook he's put together is FREE, which is almost worth taking the course for by itself.

Comment:

Professor Fung's class was very helpful yet somewhat difficult. Its impossible to fail his class because everything is online. Including the final exam.He encourages students to have study partners or groups because they really help!You have to earn your own participation points which is 10% of your grade.Overall his class was very interesting!

Comment:

You must be able to accept criticism/participate in discussion (or be able to learn to do so). Fung offers a free online txtbook, very simply designed, *many* features to help students review and self teach. Must have independent initiative to succeed in this class. Fung is sometimes hard to understand, but overall makes discussion fun/interactive.

He developed a free online text book. You only have to pay for a subscription to wallstreet journal ($20. Tests, quizzes and book are all online. You can miss 3 class. A few tests were take home. The material was difficult, but he accomodates. Don't take this class if you're ditsy.

Comment:

DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS! Worst teacher Ive ever had, over half the people in my class dropped, I should have. His tests are impossible, online textbook that is incomprehensible. Quiz questions are tricky. Participation is required. Trust me, his class was impossible and ruined my GPA. Hard, boring, frustrating, and a lot of work! Class average-C.

Comment:

Uses an online book to teach his class. You teach yourself, as he will not in class. He reviews homework in class and you need to go to every class, since he hands out participaion points. Dropped his class. Good concept, but no one else teaches like he does and is awkward to get use to his style.

Comment:

Learn little about economics. This guy is all about charts and graphs and doesn't teach you ANYTHING. Everything you go over in class will make everything you read in the book not make sense. He's a TERRIBLE teacher. If you dont come to class every session, your grade drops tremendously. Other professors don't recommend him either...

One of history's all time worst teachers. He is under the impression that he is witty and entertaining. He should be shot. Twice.
