Comment:

One of the best professors I've ever had for a math class. Breaks down the complex concepts so it's very understandable. Lectures are funny and easy to follow. Spends lots of time reviewing and his office hours help a lot. He genuinely cares for his students.

I love this professor! His lecture is easy to understand and he is always in a good mood. Also, he drops the lowest scores which help us by the end of the semester and he always invites us to visit him on his office hours. I wish every math professors were like him!!!!

Just take his class. He is one of the best math professors I've taken. He keeps things clear, he gives you multiple ways to solve a problem. He teaches you why and how things are done. You become a mathematician when you take his class. He is an inspiration.

Comment:

Best Mathematics professor I have ever taken. I never worked so hard for a class before, that A was the most satisfying A I have ever gotten. He "gets down" in lecture. When you take him you will know what I mean. You must keep up in class and you must do all the HW. The HW is key to passing the class.

Comment:

Took this course over the winter. The class was overwhelming, however, professor Yun is a great instructor. He knows how to teach, and properly informs the class how to do things correctly. It was lots of homework, but he is very lenient on grading it. Test is easy if you understand class and homework material. Winter was a struggle.

Great teacher. Makes hard topics easy and fun. Tries to help everyone do well. Effort is required and a lot of homework is assigned but this makes tests so much easier.

Comment:

Professor Yuns dedication to his students is second to none. Hes readily accessible outside class for questions, and clearly knows his stuff backwards and forwards. I highly, *highly* recommend attending his office hours and participating in the in-class exercises on the board, as his lectures are very participation-heavy. Overall excellent!

Comment:

His approach to a considerably difficult subject made me confident in my change to a math major. His lectures aren't dull, he makes jokes about "catching" the right integration method a la Pokémon. His tests are similar to lecture; only the numbers change. He gives a lot of homework, but gives full credit more than he should (whew). GoToOfficeHours

Comment:

A lot of work, but assigned hw thoroughly prepares you for his tests. Extremely fair tests. If you do most of the hw, the problems are almost easy. If you don't, the problems are miserable. I have never seen more fairer tests in my college career. Lectures are good. Always attend office hours as he goes over material. Overall great man.

Comment:

If you did well in HS I would choose a harder teacher. He's a good teacher and explains why things work the way they do in math, but near the end of the semester we slowed so much that coming to class felt like a waste of time. He's very enthusiastic and nice, and stays after class to help struggling students. If you need help w/math, he's the best

Best math teacher I ever took. He gave the class two large packets which consisted of everything we needed to learn through out the class season. No textbooks. Show up to class, learn how to solve the problems in class, and homework is easy to do. Maybe a few unusual problems but you'll find help on the internet. Great at explaining how to solve.

Yun is a great professor. Homework and studying is a must. No textbook was required but I wouldve liked if he told us what sections from the textbook he was teaching. He makes the lectures humorous.

Comment:

He knows his stuff and lectures well. The test qs are reasonable, but any mistakes are punished harshly. He doesn't teach from the book and often uses custom names for techniques, so it is hard to find supplemental material. He has daily office hours after class, but he considers it part of his class and may only show some material in office hours.

Prof. Yun is AMAZING! One of, if not ,the greatest math professors here. Yes he will assign a lot of homework but it prepares you perfectly for tests. Definitely have learned a lot of things in this course by him. Very fair, organized, punctual with giving back grades! I don't know of anyone who wouldn't recommend him.
