very funny guy great class

This guy knows his stuff, has funny jokes, and his comments relate to the material. Pay close attention and take good notes to get a good grade.

He is a good teacher. his english isnt the best, so that makes it harder to understand. Test questions are hard to comprehend (kinda confusing). Good: he helps you if you need and ask.If you have an A in the class, no final. 5% extra credit. 85%=A,75%=B

I took both these classes short term and in econ1 he was more of a hard ass and econ2 was wayyy more kick back giving out extra credit if you wiped your ass. When he cracks jokes with his accent its funny and his tests are somewhat difficult. Read!!

Chan Rules! Best teacher on SMC campus. Very bright and very funny. Makes you like Econ.

a great teacher to have for economic class. he is the most funny teacher i have ever met in SMC.workload is not heavy at all and he gives reasonably long time to prepare for exams and quiz. don't have to do final if you get A for the exams prior to final.

has a unique sense of humor that often has the class laughing, his tests are straightfoward and come from lectures and the book, overall a very nice person, easy to get an A if you do the work

He is really cool. He knows his stuff and explain well. You can ask questions all the time. The test was not too hard but you got to prepare for the test. He offers extra credit to help students to get better grade. The coolest teacher in SMC. :)

Great professor! I had him for winter session and it was really laid back.. nothing complicated... common sense stuff but it gets boring at times... really nice guy though

The clas is really hard but the professor is very nice, one of the nicest people you ever meet. IT requires a lot of studying but he is very willing to help.

A generous teacher who gives extra credits to help you out, drop lowest test, take home final exam. Textbook may not need for the class.

Very funny teacher. Told a lot of stories about his life as a police man. Taught well, but his tests are awful. Seemed understanding for a short semester.

This guy is one of the best teachers I've had in SMC.He has a mild accent, but it's very easy to understand him,because he can really explain economics.Talks a lot about his life,and is very funny.Just read the chapters and take good notes.Tests not hard.

very nice prof who really seems to care about his students. tests are not that bad. just make sure you take good notes during class.

Prof. Chan is one of the best instructors at SMC. He always wears a smile and genuinely enjoys teaching. Tests are easy and straightforward. I wish he taught more classes at SMC.

Great person, love his jokes and attitudes...omg his jokes are so dumb but funny. class is average, not hard if u study, ppl who complain r the ones who don't study. BTW If ur taking math 52 (applied calc)..DON'T TAKE KAVIANI!!!

I loved this professor. Many attempts at humor but the failed attempts were the best. Go to class ready to take notes and if you do you should have NO problems. Summer session with him is intense but your forced to keep up. Definetly Recommend taking him!!!

Awesome, didn;t even had to go to final still got A. THose who says he is a hard teacher probably don;t study at all. I'm telling u work some what for your grade its a easy class. BTW IF UR TAKING A MATH CLASS DON'T TAKE KAVIANI!!! TRUST ME!!!

The best teacher I've had. Caring(will add u even if full), those who rate him bad are dumb because he lets you drop one quiz and if you have an A no nd to take final like me. Learned so much from him in 8 week course and his quizzes are straight off lectures. He also gives extra credit.

The teacher is great. Fun and helpful. Semi easy grader. Study and you should do fine. Take notes. He lets you drop one quiz. He wants you to get an A so he helps you in any way he can. Extra credit helps. He goes fast but you still learn.

Loved him! What can I say, he was the best teacher for Econ. Clear lectures, lenient grading; don't bother buying a book, I didn't read a page and still got an A. Lectures are vital so don't miss class. I learned a lot, probably the best class I've taken at SMC thus far. He's funny, a must take!

This teacher really knows his stuff. He makes the class fun and goes over all the information. He even goes over the test before you take it. There is a lot of information that he knows how to explain very well and in a very logical way. The 8 week classes are highly recommended.

ak-chan! this is the man to go to for econ. gives clear examples and reviews problems before test. tries to make sure everyone understands, even the stone men! makes class enjoyable with his good sense of humor. sometimes before class, tells stories about his police side-job which is interesting.

cool teacher seems strict likes to make jokes he is a cop final is hard.......pretty cool let u out early

I don't understand why there are so many negative comments. His exams are not that difficult. He drops a quiz grade and he gives extra credit (to everyone - make sure you attend every class so that you don't miss out on the ex. credit assign.) If you pass all of your exams with an A you don't have to take the final.

A rather difficult course; however, he is rather caring for the success of his students. This class is very difficult, but he does his best to make it entertaining. I would recommend him just to make a positive contact with a faculty member who actually cares.

I love this guy. Easy A guaranteed. Don't worry u will get used to his accent.

TESTS ARE EXTREMELY HARD and not relevant to anything he teaches or that it is in the book. This class is only a 3 unit course and I studied for the tests as if it were 5. I am a top student and always have been and found his tests hard. However, he does care very much about the success of his students. If you know econ, then take this class.

His quizes are not easy~ but all MC!!!!! also he gives extra credit~ take him if you have confidence!

If you study the book befor class you will be able to understand his lectures. Really nice funny guy that will try his best to answer your questoins. I had him in an 8 week class and it went by fast and if you study you should do fine. Econ is pretty hard anyway

Chan's a cheery guy. His lectures are clear and comprehensive. If you ever get lost, he's there to help. His grading system is more than reasonable, so this is an easy A, so long as you keep up with the material you're learning. I'd recommend Economics with Chan.

Prof Chan is surely my idol. He's such an experienced teacher. Explanations are shown on board in point-form and there is no way one would not be able to catch up with the pace. Might a little hard without a prior knowledge, but I got an A while thats my first time studying Econ. Final exam waived when you got an A before it. Thanks prof.

I took his 8 week classes during the long semester. Honestly speaking, he wasn't THAT easy. but... he grades really fairly.if there're 20/40 ppl in class who got an A before final exam,he wld give the 20 of us an A in the class w/o having to take final exam.on top of tt,u can still get a chance to get an A if you do well for finals.test in MC!

The best teacher I've ever had.... made me wanna change my major to econ! Friendly, helpful, and extremely inspiring! Love him!

Professor Chan is a very good speaker. He's funny and kind. Thank You for always bringing your positive energy in class.

he is very fun teacher and explains everything very well, def should take his class makes class time fun and is not boring. its a joy to come to his class. test are really easy

Fun to be in class with him. He is nice and entertaining and is a good teacher. I looked foward to class with him. I god a good grade and I think the rest of the class had good grades too. I highly reccomend taking Econ with Prof. Chan.

Cool Prof. he is also a LAPD. An interesting class and you sure can learn a lot of things.....I got an A without taking the final...

He is really a nice nice teacher~!!! Attend the class before quiz to get the answers of the quiz xDDD" you can attend the next class if you miss the previous one, he will count your attendence too!! Tests are easy, sometimes he allows us to bring a formula card~good guy A+++++++++++

Prof Chan is not an easy A. However, an A is nothing impossible.extremely clear in his lectures...tests are multiple choice.Sometimes he gives a few answers. You need to be a serious student.. and you will get an A. If you have an a before the final you dont have to take it.oh and hes so funny! he really got me interested in econ

Professor Chan lectures very well. However, you need to study hard and pay attention during class. If you get 90% before the final, then you don't have to take the final~!!!

Chan teaches comprehensibly with clear lecture notes. If you go every class and study for maybe an hour for his quizzes, then you're good to go. His mini-exams are extremely easy. I skipped class at least 10 times so I had a hard time keeping up with Econ1. But I still have an A. Fair class.

This was not an easy class, but he is a good teacher. He breaks everything down, so if you just study your notes then you should do fine on his exams and quizzes.

Chan is a good prof. you actually learn econ. But sometimes his exams are worded differently, so u realli need to know the material. Read the book and PAY ATTENTION to his lectures.if u understand your notes and study them you'll b fine with the quizzes and exams. He curved the final grade 88% was an A, 78% was a B visit him during office hours too

Chan is a decent teacher. He uses the board a lot and you need to pay attention to his lectures and notes to really do well in his quizzes, which are not too difficult. 80% notes 20% textbook seems to be the accurate mix. He is very smart with his wording in quizzes and often will ask things in different ways. Questions are also sometimes repetitiv

his lectures are clear but he tries to trick you on his exams. i personally dislike teachers who deliberately tries to trick you. not everyone are econ majors. his mini quizes are simple, however. hey, i'm all for challenging exams in advanced courses but this is econ 1. keep it simple and to the point.

Excellent teacher. Has an accent but is very understandable. Teachers material well, easy tests if you attend class and take notes. Lets you skip final exam and last test if you have a high grade. Dont buy the book, you won't need it if you take good notes.

Prof Chan is my favorite SMC teacher. He actually makes Econ fun. The test are hard (the first one is easy but don't let it fool you as they keep getting harder and harder) Go to class every day and take notes. Test are almost totally on notes but read the book to get a different perspective on the info since his tests cover many perspectives.

the best econ teacher at smc, and probably the best professor ive taken with .. im gonna take with him also for econ2. got A, i didnt really study, all the examz and quizzes were based on his notes and lectures.

Prof. Chan is a really good teacher! The tests are a bit tricky due to the wording but as long as you listen to the lectures and study from your notes, you can get an A. Take him!

Oh Prof Chan, how I miss your utterance of the word "parallel". Haha, Chan is a great teacher who might have a little accent, but is totally clear on the material; he knows his stuff very well and is easily accessible during his office hours. Key to getting an A is to visit and go over your past "mini-exams" and "quizes". Teacher deserves and A.

Professor Chan is an awesome professor. His accent wasnt too strong and he gave a lot of insight into the real world. He drops a quiz and a test, making it very easy to get a B, i got an A. Hes also pretty funny and has office hours/

He is very funny and really cares about how you do in the class. The tests are kind of tricky but he drops a test and a quiz.

A very good professor. Read the book & ask questions if you're confused and you'll do fine. I got a C but only because I didn't really read.

Great explanations. I loved the real world examples. Take good notes and it's an easy A. Also go to class because you miss out on a lot if you don't. Only bad part was inconvenient office hours and he wasn't friendly then.

i think hes a helpful funny teacher who tries to teach econ as simple as possible. honestly i think the textbook is not that good but you still need to read and understand it to do good on the tests1. good professor take him..

hes honestly the best professor i've had at smc. hes funny and so easy going. he makes u contemplate switching majors to econ by the end of the semester. lectures are clear and he explains things better than the book.... plus hes got some crazy life stories... afterall he is a cop

Professor Chan is AMAZING! he really cares about his students and make the class experience very fun! He has a one on one relationship with the class and entertains with life stories and jokes. He does all he can to make sure everyone gets the best possible grade. very sweet man. :) I even took him scholars!! i recommend

I am in love with Professor/Officer Chan! He is the sweetest, hottest, funniest man alive! I recommend his class 100% it has only been a few days since i've ended class with him and I miss him like crazy! I cant stop thinking about him! If you want an amazing, warm hearted teacher take him! He is very helpful and he is a good man to the earth!!!

The book he offers is not good. However, the way he teaches is very very well. listens his class, takes notes, Studys the handout and notes. carefully read the textbook(only if he offer you to read). you will get the A and love economics. I got A in his class(both Econ 1&2)

great professor, great man!! not hard if you don't fall behind and pay attention in class

HE IS VERY VERY FUNNY AND NICE BUT THE EXAMS ARE VERY HARD. EVEN IF U STUDY THE NOTES HIS TESTS ARE VERY TRICKY WATCH OUT

Great guy. his classes are not hard, but they are not for the lazy minded. Be ready to study. His lectures are kind of confusing, but his teaching skills are not so bad. He's an extremely nice, and genuine man. Loves his students, and wants to make sure everybody gets the best grade, but after all you do get what you earn.

REALLY REALLY NICE GUY! but the subject is definitely not an easy one! doesn't take attendance, lets you out extremely early, HARD mini exams and exams but sometimes gives easy classwork to make up for it. This is definitely not a class you want to slack off in!

it is not an easy A. Pro.Chan's lecture is pretty clear, but his test is a little bit hard. u should focus on the notes and handouts he provides. i dont like him too much,because he sometimes humiliates Chinese people.

One of the funniest and straight forward professors I have had yet! Don't miss class and be there on time. He is really good at explaining the concept and takes time to answer questions and talk about real life situations.

Quizzes and mini-exams are challenging. Multiple extra credit options. Not an easy A class, but Prof. Chan is a great teacher and very helpful. Textbook is course required, but supplemental only for assignments. Recommended if you are an Econ major. Otherwise take another Prof if you want an easy A.

Great Teacher, easy mini-exams, easy h.w. He always gives free points away. But keep out an eye for his EXAMS.. they are harder than you'd expect. But overall u'll get an A if u try.

Awesome Prof. If you take good notes and pay attention during the lectures, this is an easy A. The book isn't really used, but it can help. He makes Econ fun which is pretty hard to do. Explains concepts very well and takes time to answer questions.

He is a great teacher, he is the best SMC teacher that i have taken. He lectures really well, gives good notes. His tests and mini-exams are not that easy but if you study you can get a good grade. He gives extra credit and tries to help everyone. Take him for econ 1 & 2 if ur really interested in Econ or u are an econ major, you will learn a lot,

Economy 1 Fall '09-Chan is great! He's a good teacher and getting an A is not difficult. Even more, he's got some great stories that don't really get in the way. Only drawback was the lack of maturity in the class. Chan handles it well and if you're a good student, you'll get your A (and maybe learn a little about economics in the process)

great professor! funny class!

great professor! funny class! test is a little bit difficult but still easy for whom study hard! helpful professor

king of economics

He is an excellent Economics teacher, and he makes the class interested and easily makes the class interesting. I would Highly recommend taking him as proff for any class.

LOVE HIM!!!!!HE REALLY ENJOYS TEACHING AND MAKES A DULL MATERIAL LIKE ECONOMICS INTERESTING AND FUN. ATTENDANCE IS NOT MANDATORY, BUT YOU MIGHT LOSE SOME EXTRA POINTS HERE AND THERE. HE'S ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP. IF YOU STUDY, TESTS ARE A BREEZE. IF YOU'RE BRIGHT AND WITTY, TEXTBOOK IS NOT NECESSARY. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. ONE OF THE BEST IN SMC!

One of the best professor in smc! highly recommanded!!!

King of Economics (2), best teacher for econ @ smc, such an interesting class

Very passionate about teaching and educating students in ECON. Make dry materials interesting by explaining how ECON works in the real practical world. Will take him for ECON 1 and highly recommend him for any one, who may not be in buzi/econ/acctg major

He is really a great professor ever in the world. He motivates me to go to His Class. great explanation. Awesome class. Easy one

read! take good notes. the test werent easy for me. i got sick and had to drop less than half way through, but still feel like i learned alot. great guy great techer

I love this Professor. His lectures are really clear, and the test comes mostly from the note. He gives extra credit. Got A in both econ 1 and econ 2.

Both Econ 1 and Econ 2. He gives LOADS of extra credit. Just SHOW UP and read your notes. Friendly, wonderfully dry sense of humor, really cares about the students. The best part is that he uses ecompanion and you can see up to date grades all through the class.I got an A without even trying.The textbooks are loose-leaf style,just make copies.

Really hard to get an A. Many ppl who can get an A because they have ANSWERS..Dont take him! Take GILL instead!!

Took him for both Econ 1 and 2; got A's in both. Attendance is important: he gives pop quizzes, and exams are based purely on his lecture notes. He is very willing to help his students if you seek him out, but don't slack off and expect him to do you any favors. Show up for class and study your notes, and you will get an A. Recommended.

SO CUTE SO FRKN CUTE. Cute little asian man. Totally funny. Hard to understand sometimes. Not hard to get an A but does give pop quizzes. Class can get a wee bit boring esp if you're taking two classes during winter. Funny guy though. I mean, check out that picture! cutest little man ever. I'm in love.

If you have a choice between Chan and another teacher, choose Chan. The class is easy, not boring at all, and has a fun atmosphere. Most of the tests are based on notes, but reading the book really helped me on tests. There's a lot of math in Chan's class, so if you don't like it, don't take him. But other than that, he's great.

kool professor! funny, sometimes arrogant, but funny and EASY :D

If you think Chan's class is hard and confusing, then do yourself a favor and never do anything related to economics. Yes, the tests are a bit difficult, but there's tons of other points as well as plenty of extra credit. He goes a bit fast, but it's still easy to pay attention. Quizzes are straight out of the book, easy. The class is pretty fun.

Professor Chan is the man! His lecturing style is excellent, and he makes class fun. Awesome class and professor.

awesome!

I took this class as scholars. He was difficult but as long as you show up and do the reviews, you should have no problem passing.

Very knowledgeable professor received his phd in econ so he teaches economics at a high level class consists of 3 tests worth 40 points each and 3 mini quizzes which he gives you review sheets for gives a lot of extra credit over the semesters as long as you keep up you can receive an easy a in this course

alright i took this professors because i came to this site and read all his comments and everyone said easy A great teacher, well i'm hear to update u guys that he is not an easy A, however he is a really good professor in teaching. That's all. He's clear, he's smart, and he's fun. BUT NOT EASY A, he grades the hw hard, his tests are fair.

This class is most def not an easy A. Read the book thoroughly. Do the practice exams the book provides. Study the heck out of his notes and study guides. Sit near the front and realllllly pay attention and you'll do well. Getting an A in his class is very realistic, but you have to apply yourself. Take the hw seriously - he grades for accuracy.

Chan is an easy A. You honestly have to be an idiot to receive a B. Just copy whatever he writes on the board and youre golden. I put in MINIMAL effort and ended up with a 102 percent in the class. Chan is a ridiculously nice professor. Lots of easy points available. Oh and if you have an A in the class you dont have to take the final.

He was the most amazing professor ever!!! I took econ like twice before I finally took his class and passed. I really understood the material.

Great teacher. He was not an easy A but definitely anyone who is somewhat smart and hardworking can get an A. You DEFINITELY have to go to class every time because the tests are like 90% based on his lectures and he gives random (but simple) assignments in class. Exams weren't too bad and math was ez 2 me(engineer) He gives some extra credit too.

Not an easy A. If you give decent amount of time for it, you will do fine, quiz is off his in class notes and handout and exam is notes/handout/book, easy math, nice person. Would recommend

3 midterms and 1 final and mini quizzes. if you study what he writes on a board in class + online handouts you will surely get an A. Very helpful, go to his office hours. He gives out extra credits on each midterm. Get grade A before the final so that you don't have to take it. Interesting lecture. He lets people go early lol Highly recommended.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE TEACHER. Now, if you really care to learn the subject, Chan is the man. Great teacher if you sit in the front, and pay attention. If you sit towards the back don't expect to learn much. His notes/hand outs are essentially the tests and if you study them you will be fine. I really recommend him.

Pay attention, take good notes, and go over them then you don't have to worry not having have an A in this class. Tests are straightforward. Lots of extra credits. He needs more time with his students though; the lectures could have been more in-depth. Still, you'll have a general idea about economics.

He's good at what he does, answers any questions you have. Tests may be a little harder than expected, but overall a good professor and also hilarious.

Professor Chan is hands down my favorite teacher at SMC! I had little interest in Economics prior to taking his classes. He has made me love Economics! He is extremely clear and his sense of humor makes the class fly by. Study and you will be fine!

Very easy! Several quizzes and tests and no final if u get 90 before it! Funny class! always end in advance!!!

Chan is an amazing teacher. His econ 1 class ios striaghtforward. Only 3 tests and if you have an A before the final you dont have to take it. Take him!

Professor Chan was AMAZING! I learned so much in his class and I found myself talking about Econ even when I wasn't in class! He was a really great teacher! His tests are pretty difficult but if you study you can easily do it. He is always at his office hours. I hope to get him for my next econ class as well! Got that A and hope to get another one!

He is my first economic teacher. His class is very interesting and relaxing, but in order to get high score in his class, you really need to study the notes and handouts. It is not easy A! He corrects the paper very fast, and he is very helpful to answer any questions, he is a nice and funny guy.

Mr. Chan is a fun teacher, always jokes. I enjoyed he's classes up to the point when we had our tests. You need to study a lot, and the tests are HARD. In one week you will receive 2 tests; total of 70 questions. Read the handouts he provides, and the notes....but don't expect an easy A!

This was my 1st econ class and I was a bit intimidated b the testbook material, but Dr. Chan really made it interesting and motivated me to study. I was getting a B up until the last exam and then pulled up to an A so I didn't have to take the final. Quizzes are harder than exams,if you are getting A after last midterm, you don't have to take final

I am currently taking ECON1, this is my first semester at SMC as well as in LA in general, and I am so glad I have this professor! He knows how to keep student attention, is very kind and helpful, and has made me love economics! I am taking ECON2 as well in this semester so I can compare and can definitely say that Chan is the man! Amazing teacher

Mr. Chan's teaching is really good, but the tests and exams are little difficult.

Never ever expect easy classes in Econ. I took his Econ 1 last winter session. Work hard u have chance to get an A. There is a lot of work. Also, sometimes the tests are confusing. He likes to use some tricky words. Overall, he is a great guy. He makes jokes that make the lecture relaxing. Previously, if u get A before the final, u don't have to take it. But now the policy has changed. And u can prepare an index card and write whatever u want. I got A in this class with lots of efforts.

You can tell he loves to teach and it makes class very exciting to attend. He is a great professor and challenges the students without being too difficult. There are 3 50-point multiple choice tests and 1 final worth 100 points. He re-used some of the questions so go over your tests in his office hours. He's really helpful!

Easy, clear and helpful. He is very nice, he gives extra credit. All you need to do is to attend all classes to take good note. If you understand the material you can get an A. He allows students bring a note card during the test. Very nice professor and willing to help students.

One of the favorite classes i took in smc! Professor Chan is hilarious and easy-going. Test materials are covered in lectures.He offers extra credits which make his class much more easier. Highly recommend to ppl. in business/ econ major,CHAN is the MAN!

For people who are interested in econ or are econ majors he is a easy b or a. Gives you the information to get an a on the test. Only downer is that everything in his class is waited heavily. Covers most topics but I feel that he doesn't cover enough as a university econ class will. Very respectful but sometimes addidtude is fake. Recommend him.

Tests are mainly from his lectures and handouts. Lets you use an index card for tests. 4 tests including the final. Fair amount of in-class assignments so don't miss any days, he gives them out randomly. Gives EC from these in-class assignments, but not to much. This class is the epitome of getting what you put into it. Easy A/B if you don't slack.

Professor Chan is amazing his lectures are clear make sure you study your notes, and his study guides for his exams do that and you'll get a guranteed B.

Very good professor. Clear lectures, have to attend them in order to do well on the tests. Tests are a bit difficult but gives little quizzes that help you out. May be a bit rude but overall very good and interesting teacher.

He is the best economics professor. I took his class before I transferred to USC and all I can say is that this guy teaches a lot better than my professor in USC. He literally said everything you need to know for the exam and wrote them down on the board for you. I can't find a professor clearer than him. DO understand his lecture and handouts.

Clear lectures but exams are difficult and not taught topics are on tests. Very tough tests!

Lectures are clear and concepts make sense when he explains it in class. However, the way he words questions on every Exam can throw you off completely. So it is important to read the textbook and fully understand every detail!

Chan is the man. If you ask for assistance during his office hours, he is extremely helpful and will explain things until you understand them well! Lectures are funny as he incorporates humor. Take his class!! You definitely learn about Economics and can apply it to your personal life. Tests can be tough, but if you study well, you will be fine.

Your grade will reflect what you put into his class. His lectures are extremely clear, and the homework is easy. His tests are based on the lectures and some topics in the book which he won't go ever, but those questions can be answered with logic. If you read ahead, lectures will be easier to understand. Also, study study study!

The class won't be too hard as long as you go to class and take good notes. He gives really good examples and makes the information easy to understand. Don't miss any homework assignments because they're really easy points. Attendance isn't mandatory but you should go if you wanna pass with an A.

When I took this class, I did not know what I would expect. Professor Chan is hilarious and gives a lot of advices regarding the modern world from safety to profit entrepreneurship. I did not do the work at first so I ended up with a B. I suggest you to work from the beginning and you'll pass easily! Would take again! He's amazing!

His class is super easy. He is a really funny guy and tries to give relevant current examples that are super simple to understand. I'm quite bored of the subject material but professor Chan makes it somewhat interesting and bearable. Just pay attention in class and you should get an A easily.

Great choice for Econ. Clear lectures, good at explaining economics. Lectures can be a little boring, but he's a funny guy. Curved the final grade so more students could get A's which was nice.

Have super accurate lecture notes, and learn well. This professor delivers material with remarkable efficiency. Be on time, come to every lecture, work diligently, and it will reflect on your exams, homework, and classwork. Take advantage of office hours. This professor commands respect, and does not mess around.

Honestly, the class was hard because it was test heavy. But make sure you read each question on the test, word for word. The way he phrase things are kinda weird, but if you know the concepts and read properly, then it'll be fine. He'll also give you extra credits on random days but you have to be in class for it!!

At first it was hard coping with his lectures and the exams seemed hard but as soon you understand how to study for the exams, you should be good. Note down his lectures and pay attention. Studies only what he covers and you will be fine.

I took Professor Chan for Econ. 2. First things first, he is a great teacher. He explains concepts clearly, and is easy to understand. However, your grade is very dependent on the tests. When it comes to the tests, read every question carefully! There will be 1-2 problems on each test that were not covered in class. He offers a good amount of ec.

I took Professor Chan for Econ 1 & Econ 2 and he was great. Homework was assigned once in a while and it will come from the textbook. He exams were not that difficult all you need to do is study, since many people take it for IGETC they don't really put the effort into the class. His exams were mostly based on handouts he gave.

Took the 8 week course and it was not that difficult. You just have to be really committed to the class. Every assignment is weighed equally and can affect your grade in the long run. Prof. Chan is a good teacher and is understandable despite what others say. The tests are difficult, but if you study the book and notes you will be fine.

He is a very good teacher. He explains lecture very clearly even Im a international student I can still understand his explanation very well. He always go over the test before he starts the exam which is very helpful for your grade. Besides, he has a grate sense of humor which makes this class very interesting. Take his class! You wont regret it

His lectures are very clear, however his tests make you so confused and is very unclear. However, if you study all your notes and the textbook before tests you should get an A. Saying that, per 70 students there are aproximately 5-9 A's so take that as you will.

professor chan is such a sweet guy. you can tell he's passionate about economics and does his best to help his students understand. easy homework (rarely any), allows a study card on tests, in general an easy a. doesn't say anything about tardies or absences, but he's lecture heavy so try to show up every class.

Very nice and understanding guy. Dont expect an easy A though. I got a C in the class, thinking I would at least get an A or a B.

Professor Chan gives great lectures, he uses examples from his own life experience to help support what he teaches and his lectures are really well organized. Professor Chan makes an effort to get to know his students and is generous with assigning extra credit assignments.

Chan is very clear on instructions, he is a tough grader so be sure to be thorough in all discussion posts, essays, other work etc. He gets absolutely all of his material from the book so make sure you take your time reading it to comprehend.

Chan is good. Take good notes, record his lectures, ask questions, form a study group and see him on his office hours to go over material and upcoming/previous midterms and you should succeed. He's a great lecturer w/ a good sense of humour. Don't underestimate this class just because is 3 units. Gives plenty of extra credit too.

Chan's online class is good but doesn't compare to taking the class on campus. The way he formats it online can be a bit confusing and definitely could use some improvement. You have to have a drive and interest in Econ so I can see how some might feel meh about the class. Heads up, the book for both Econ 1 and 2 are hideous in format. D:

I took Prof Chan for his 6 wk summer term online, he is so professional & incredibly caring about his students' success & understanding & passionate about the subject. His thoroughness on the zoom call (recorded with transcripts) is great with everything you need to know, explained for the tests. He even arranged a guest speaker. Highly recommended

Professor Chan really cares about his students. His lectures are not mandatory and he records and posts them. His lectures are very helpful and informative. There are 1-2 assignments every week and a short exam once a week. His class isn't hard if you watch the lectures and do the work.

If u want an easy A take this class. Graded by quizzes and tests, which would all be easy if you watched his lectures. Replies fast and helps with any problem u have. He also gave extra credits and many tips. Great Professor!!!

As much as I enjoyed his lectures, the wording on the tests was difficult to understand sometimes. Every question has a "none of the above" and/or "all of the above." It doesn't help an overthinker like myself. Nice guy and very funny. I just didn't like the test questions.

Professor Chan was a tough grader with a very tough grading and late work policy. However, he gives great feedback, especially if you email him, and his lectures have everything you need to know.

I took him for econ 1 and 2 and got a B and A. Super friendly guy. There are definitely easier econ professors at SMC but he is not too difficult. Not much homework. Grade is mostly based on quizzes and exams. Watch his lecture videos very closely and take notes on them. Exams are based off the videos. Some typos on exams that are kind of funny.

I had Professor Chan for an 8-week hybrid course in fall 2024. He was a solid and funny teacher and his lectures weren't too hard to follow along. However there was a lot of work. Get ready to read the loose-leaf textbook if you want to succeed on tests. Every week was at least 1 test, very stressful, but then again it was an 8-week course.

This class is easy if you just pay attention. I took an 8 week macroecon course. Every class he would lecture the unit that's on the test, as we would take the test during the last portion of class. You can't make those up so make sure you're in class. Easy homework. He's funny enough to help get through the class. Grades homework off accuracy.

So, Mr. Chan was pretty strict but if you show him that you really care he'll help you out. I got an A even though I had 88% but I really did good on the final. Just learn and learn a lot. I ll take econ 2 with him

Prof Chan, was a really nice and accessible professor, he graded homework assignments super fast, the course it's self if a little confusing, but with extra help from him or a tutor it is manageable.

Is Professor Chan strict? Yes. But is he a funny guy who tries to make the class as enjoyable as possible? Absolutely! If all you want is an easy A with no effort, then Professor Chan's class isn't for you But if you're willing to put in the hard work, his class will actually prepare you for your next Econ classes. He's a great professor to take!
