Alright prof. He was difficult to understand at times, and some of his lectures were useless, but his love of physics showed. He definitely cared and was very willing to help. I felt his exams were fair even though the homework was not similar.Rate My Professors ↗
His examples in lecture were fairly useless, assuming they even worked at all, which didn't happen as often as one would hope. There were times when his accent impeded his teaching ability. Lectures were essentially useless; the powerpoints that he read from were available online, and he never really deviated from them. (I attended all lectures).Rate My Professors ↗
He's pretty nice overall. But he has the accent.Rate My Professors ↗
All I can say is that he was better than Onellion. His exams were easy and he actually presented the material the homework and exams covered. Average teacher at best, but he was very nice and approachable.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Han is helpful outside of class and enthusiastic in lecture. He's not very difficult to understand, despite his accent. Overall, the material was still boring, though.Rate My Professors ↗
Hard to understand at times. clearly enjoys the topic....wayy better teacher than Herndon (double taught with him) lecture point less and the final was extremly hard practice tests were 10x easierRate My Professors ↗
