Comment:

Professor Hong was an exciting class to take. He gives you information related to your quiz. Hes tough on grading but does his best to help you out. Show up on time, submit the work and you should pass the class. If you love writting this class is for you and if you dont be prepared. He is lenient with certain things depending on the situation.

Comment:

Prof. Hong is the toughest grader I've ever encountered. Although his lectures are informative and at times funny, you definitely have to work hard for a good grade on an essay. You 100% need the textbook or you will not pass, most of his homework, essays, and reading is from the textbook. I wouldn't take him again just because of the grading.

Professor Hong was an amazing teacher! Having him go over your essays in office hours before you turn them in will help a lot. He's very caring if you try in his class, but if you don't, prepare to get "the look".

Overall good teacher. If you have anxiety or are a very shy student, be prepared to get called on. Professor Hong is extremely kind, shows that he cares about his students and loves what he does! Tough grader on essays, but does remind you of his office hours. Make sure to read and understand material for his Quizzes and prepare for the socratic!

Professor Hong is a great teacher. He treats his students as friends and he cares about every one of them. His lectures make boring novels interesting and make complicated things easy to understand. He is a tough grader in regard to essays, but he gives a clear outline on what he wants in them. Overall he was a great teacher.

If you show up to class and have not read the material, you will be totally lost. Overall, an okay professor. Expects us to know the answers to his very vague questions all the time. He likes to talk to us as if we are his friends, which always leads to a fun conversation.

was worried that I would fail the class or he would be a tough professor but in fact that was far from the case. I'm glad I took him for English A. He's super funny and cares about his students. Would definitely recommend

the best teacher i've had at el camino so far. He is a tough grader on essays but he gives great feedback and is very willing to help you succeed and answer any questions. Make sure you read the required texts because he quizzes you on them. Very clear requirements for each essay assignment- he gives a detailed packet for each one with examples.

Honestly, as a student fresh out of high school, I thought college was going to be the scariest experience where teachers were only there just to gain money. BUT,Mr. Hong is exceedingly caring and helpful. For those who have trouble writing or understanding, he's there and wants to truly help when you need him. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND HIM.

if you mess up on a essay that's it you failed he does no extra credit or help you pass the class if you miss points that's it you are done. very vague on assignments but expects very detailed essays and grades hard on them if their not like he wants them. I failed because I didn't properly do citations on my essay considered plagiarism lol.

Comment:

I was an English major before taking his class. 15A definitely only for English majors. Participation is important. Lectures are long and boring. Snooze fest. He is not interested in what you have to say, unless its the same thing as him. Finds a way to mention Pride& Prejudice everyday. I just didn't like him as a person. He is just mean.

Comment:

He often changes his mind about assignments. The final was going to be socratic then he said it's an open book class essay then it was a closed book class essay. He also assigns an enormous amount of points to things that should be about 20-25 points. He says he will send out emails then then doesn't. He keeps saying be more analytic to everyone.

Comment:

Prof Hong is a chill, easy prof. His essays aren't hard but you need to do all the work for it if you want a good grade which means do the rough drafts. There is a bit of reading so I highly recommend that you read what he assigns. He never lets you leave class early so two hours is two hours. Overall, his class isn't hard. Take him for eng 1A.

He's a good teacher. I don't know if he always does this, but when i took his class he'd have a teacher assistant help out. she'd meet with us and would check our essays and give feedback on how to improve your essay before it due. This is very convenient, especially if you're still confused on the essay. Im even planning to take him for English 1A
