Chanwoo is difficult to understand in lecture, uncompassionate, and teaches as if everyone has already taken calculus. It would have been more helpful in his class if he hadn't shown up at all and had just sent the slides over. Warning to not take this course with him...Rate My Professors ↗
Genuinely the worst teacher I have ever had, using the term 'teacher' is even a bold claim. You have to teach yourself every last piece of material; his lectures are an absolute mess, no organization or preparation done whatsoever. Don't bother raising your hand either because he will criticize you for asking questions or second guessing his work.Rate My Professors ↗
Does not teach, hard to understand for someone who has never taken calcRate My Professors ↗
I dropped the class after two lectures. This class was especially hard if you have never taken calc before (Even though it's Calc 1, he teaches as if we already know the material). The way he teaches material is very confusing; he doesn't walk through problems ever; he just talks and clicks through a slideshow.Rate My Professors ↗
poor. Does not care much about students and not engagingRate My Professors ↗
Chanwoo was hard to understand, came late and unprepared to lecture, failed to properly answer questions, and constantly messed up and seemed like he didn't understand the concepts himself. He was a nice guy, just not a very informed professor.Rate My Professors ↗
