Comment:

I loved the structure of Chun's Parallel Processing class. The first half of the semester we go over basic parallel processing (also a rehash of CS 147/149). The second half is only student presentations on a plethora of topics. Basically every student can do a presentation on anything related to PP. The final was just writing about 3 presentations

Comment:

Hes very experienced in his subject of computer architecture. The course itself requires lots of reading and Dr Chun tries his best to cover it all in his lectures. His quizzes are not easy. I thought he was very organised with his lecture slides and presentations.

Great Professor! Every lecture was very clear and easily comprehensible. He summarizes his previous lecture before he starts class . The questions in the 2 Assignments for the semester can be answered if we understand his lectures.

TERRIBLE AVOID him by all means. He never answers his email and he is so mean if luckily he answers. His exams is so long and not easy to answer all questions in a limited period of time.Students who can answer have sample exams from before.Even he is not a good grader. I got different score from your classmate from the identical answers!!!!!

Comment:

He is one of the most organized professors on the campus,cristal clear lectures along with easy projects. For midterms and final, make sure you memorize everything from his notes. He has such soothing voice, which will make you go to sleep the first couple of weeks, but you will get used to it.

Comment:

I like him, the first few weeks seemed slow, but as we progressed i started enjoying the material. Professor Chun really knows the material, don't even bother buying the book. The entire class is based on his lecture notes (can't stress enough). Make sure you cover everything from his lecture notes for the midterm. Get a head on the projects.

Chun is THE best professor! His lectures are extra clear. He has this calm zen surrounding him. He always smiles his signature smile. He cares about his students. Show up to class everyday and ask him questions if you're stuck. You'll enjoy his class. This guy knows what he's talking about. His exam is long and challenging.

Excellent professor. His lectures are very clear, and he really cares that students are learning and understand the material. His test are really long, but if you go to class everyday and do the projects you'll be fine.

The best professor in CS department. Go for the FPGA project option (and not paper) and you will never regret it in terms of experience, knowledge and grade!! Have his previous exams if possible. Very nice person!!

Comment:

Pros:He is by far the most organized professor and conducts the class in professional manner.Very patient and helpful.The presentations required by the students help in learning new topics. Cons: The lectures tend to be little bit on the boring side but if we follow the lectures then there won't be any surprises on the midterms or the finals.

Comment:

He only taught for the last few weeks of my class in place of Teoh, but he is good. Chun is an old style teacher, even his handouts look like they've been typed up on a type-writer. He's clear, easy to understand, and easy to learn from. Do the homework, and you should be fine. Lectures are a bit on the boring side, though.

Comment:

Only advise- have his old tests. He follows the patterns.Tests are very long and conceptual, but if u know the patterns from the old tests then only, u can finish it and try some of the new materials. Final was like a book. But chun is a very good teacher. Pay attention to his every word.

Comment:

Professor chun is very clear on his lectures.I love his teaching style, But I have one advise for the students , don't take any make up exam. He will make your life miserable with the make up exam.Do the exam on time.He will give 1 1/2 equal weight of actual exam .

Dr. Chun has very clear notes and detailed explanation about the topics he covers in class. Noone can teach as clear and fun as him in the CS dept. He makes the most difficult subject as easy as possible. When you go to his office hour, he will help you with all his heart.
