Prof. Hong is the best Probability instructor I've ever had. He is perfectly prepared, with handwriting and notes so clear. he expertly deconstructs abstract, complex concepts by starting with digestible ideas and scaling them up. If you have the chance to take his class, do it—his clarity and structured teaching style are unmatched!Rate My Professors ↗
Honestly probably the best math professor I've had here. He is very confident, knowledgeable and clear in his teaching direction. I would've done better in this class If I put the effort in to study. It's honestly depressing they aren't renewing his contract next year I would've loved to take another one of his classes.Rate My Professors ↗
Very awesome math professor. Probably the best math professor I've had at UW Madison. He is a very clear and confident lecturer and honestly I find him to be pretty funny as well. It's honestly depressing he won't be coming back to UW Madison as they didn't renew his contract.Rate My Professors ↗
Best Math professor I've ever had he really cares about math and making sure students understand what is going on. Lectures are articulated really well and are really easy to understand. His answers to questions are always clear and in depth too, probably best math professor here at Madison, it's a shame they didn't renew him.Rate My Professors ↗
The strongest math lecturer ever. He is extremely articulate and organized in his lectures. Although the class was unexpectedly difficult, the grading cutoffs were lowered at the end as to match the previous year's distribution. Note that the first half of the test is made by him and are exactly as the practice but the other half was much harder.Rate My Professors ↗
He is very nice, would take him again for any course!Rate My Professors ↗
