Best prof. ever! hes brand new but very knows what hes talking about. very easy to app. no homework, fair tests.. hes awesome. highly recomended!!
Awesome teacher!! Knows the material well and strives to make sure his students do too. Tests are very fair and go along with the study guide almost exactly. Be sure to really study for his essay questions though! I would recommend him to anybody looking at taking biol 431.
Great 402 teacher! Like most bio classes you have to study to do well. Dean makes it easier for student to concentrate on which material to study. Do your study guides before you start studying it'll be the key to getting an A in the class. Great teacher. He knows the subj and teaches great.
This is a great teacher. I learned a lot in his class and you will too. He really prepares you for the exam. Take this teacher for bio 431.
Great teacher! If you want to pass, study the class notes and study guide. You don't need to read the book, just listen to the lecture. You have to study though, you have to take time to learn the material and prepare for exams and you'll have an A. He's helpful, answers all questions, very clear.
Very educated man. knows his stuff. The only thing he grades pretty much is the test scores. If you do bad on tests or dont have time to study don't take the class. But if you work hard and study you will get an A or B. Make sure you study for his essay questions.
Dr. Won is an educated and a friendly professor. Willing to answer all questions with best attitude. Ive never seen such teacher so dedicated to his students. This is a hard class but he makes it easier for you to study. Study hard, you will pass his class with a high grade. Highly recommend this professor.
He was very helpful, fair tests, and i recommend him for bio 430 or 431
HE IS VERY APPROACHABLE AND ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP.JUST STICK TO HIS STUDY GUIDE.YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A TEXT.ALL HIS NOTES ARE ON BLACKBOARD. I AM AND WILL BE IN HIS 431 BIO
he is a nice person, but his class gets very overwhelming at times. One chapter is a little easier and the next we have to study all the models and write a three part essay and study for a multiple choice test. Sure he gives you a study guide, but it is very overwhelming!
hard!! gives you a study guide for the test. However, when the test comes around the test question have only 25% of study guide material.
overwhelming indeed. hes a nice teacher, very helpful, but gives lab and mult choice on the same day at times. study the essay questions, but he grades hard so make sure u understand them. tests are somewhat hard, but if u study for them u'll be fine.
Who says his class is hard must be either very lazy or not smart. He tests on only what he went through in class. If you study his lecture notes throughly, study guide, and power point, there is no way you can't get an A. He explains very clearly, he's very helpful, and always answers e-mails, questions. For Lab practical he tells you exactly what
Dean Won is an GREAT teacher. Ignore the bad comments because he is the best!! He is straight f9orward, all you need to do is study the study guide he gives fir each test!! He always gives a review and he is always there when you need him! If you go to class and listen to him when he says..."this is important...it will be on the test".....you
Gives a study guide for each exam and tests from it. Very little homework given and extra credit opportunities at end of semester. Very serious prof at first but warms as semester goes on. Very straight forward and doesn't try to trick you on exams. Very organized power point lectures and waste no time in class.
The last few comments are true It is an easy class but you have to keep up with lectures and his notes. He is definitely straight forward in his grading system. It is how well you do on all exams. good luck and study well!! PS attend Jeff's class he is very helpful and this class helps in your review
I love taking A&P from Dr. Won. He is very straightforward and fair. He lets you know what questions will be essay for the test and there are no surprises at all! If you pay attention and study, you will get an A. He genuinely wants his students to do well. He is very clear on what to study and his tests are fair. I loved taking his class. TAKE HIM
I absolutely loved Dr. Won. He is the best bio teacher at ARC. He doesn't try to trick you and is clear on his tests. Pretty easy final too. Just KNOW the study guides!
Dr. Won is the most helpful I've ever had. If he see your effort, he'll guide, help and prepare you for the exams. He treats student fairly, listen and answer even stupid questions like you're a VIP. He's passionate bout his job, organized and understands that students have life beside school. Extra credit helped me pull an A. Thanks, Dr. Won!
Dr. Won is awesome, he is helpful and clear. He'll give assignments that are helpful in class, and lab. His lab's are helpful and he is always there to help. Easy, at the same time hard and time consuming, but worth trying. A or B for sure is received if tried hard.
Great teacher! Extremely pleased I took his class. He's very straightforward - gives you a detailed study guide before each test. Assignments are few but very meaningful & important. Definitely recommend him!
All I can say is that he is the best science teacher I have ever had in my whole life. He is very helpful && he wants everyone to pass the class. He does not trick you on the tests they are very straight forward from his study guides. Just study those and there is no reason you shouldn't get an A.
BEST PROF. EVER!!! NO ONE CAN DO IT BETTER...GO DEAN!!
Professor Won is the best. He is the best professor i ever had and his class is fun. His class was my best class this semester. He is really nice and very helpful. He gives extra credit.
No easy A or easy Professor in any AP class. Dean is good though. Very helpful very thorough and ALOT of notes. Lecture exams are based off notes. Posts study guides as well as essay topics for each exam and alot of useful material online. Lab practical/lecture exam on the same day be prepared. Few assignments so use your lab time wisely to study
Prof. Won is GREAT! Definitely recommend him! Gives detailed study guides, tells you his essay prompts ahead of time so you can prepare. Very helpful! It's a tough class regardless but he gives you everything you need to succeed. I'm taking him for 431 too.
Prof. Won is extremely helpful and makes sure he knows his students. Very straight up and does not try to trick you on tests. Provides as much material as he can to help you study especially on blackboard. His tests are straight off his notes so attendance is a must. All in all professor Won is a great teacher.
What can I say, Dean is a fantastic professor. He starts off very strict, but loosens up as the semester goes on. This class is by no means easy, nor is he an easy professor. But he is very clear about what he will be testing on. Just be sure to prepare for the essay questions on the first exam! Dean is happy to help students despite his busy life.
Dean is a very grounded guy and a fantastic teacher. He demanded a lot, but in turn I learned a lot! There were many times that I felt like giving up, but Dean kept encouraging me and answered all questions that I had. I highly recommend Dr.Won! Be prepared to dedicate yourself to learning Physiology because he does test your knowledge. GO DEAN!!!
Biol 431 isn't meant to be a walk in the park, but Dr. Won takes the time to explain each subject very well. Most of the the info is off of his powerpoints, so dl them before you come to class. Don't skip any days, study his lectures, take advantage of all the class time he gives you to study for the lab practical and you'll do great =)
Get ready for tons of memorizing!!! This course is not the most exciting, but Dr. Won gives you all the tools you need. He tests from D2L slides and notes he writes on board. Gives study guides prior to tests. Exams are on FULL units! There are only a few labs, so be prepared to sit for 4 hour lectures (bring a pillow for your rear, Ugh).
don't be scared in the beginning - he comes off as mean but warms up a little bit as the semester wears on. Pros: Gives clear, detailed study guides before every test. Know everything on the study guide and show up and you will do well. Cons: extremely boring, long lectures.
Very hard to pass the class.Tests are on full unit. A lot of memorizing.
He makes you want to learn its not an easy subject requires lots of time and dedication.. Worth it in the end ... You go DEAN you are the greatest !!!!
He is HEAVEN sent!! he doesn`t see color just students. He truly wants every student to make it!! He doesn`t TRICK you on exam`s. His lecture and lecture slides is the exam. (take good notes very,very important. he is very approachable too, always willing to HELP. I took this in the Summer and got an A. The Lord answered ME!!
additional marks from 7/29 summer semester 2009. Also if he has you do essay questions, have him look it over for approval that way you get all of your points and notloose points because he does grade hard on those essay`s but he`s still WONDERFUL!!! LOVE YA PRO.WON........ future student`s you made this far you can do it!! don`t ever give up!
Comes off as distant in the beginning but warms up later. Keeps updated on any changes made in class. Material is very straight forward, no tricks. Specific essay questions for written part of exams are selected from study guide, which can be graded before the exam. Material from lecture exam complements material from book and additional notes. =)
WOW! Wonderful teacher! After the experience I had in Bio430 (wont mention teachers name) this guys really DOES want you to get a good grade, doesn't try to trick you, gives you a study guide to prepare for the exam. Willing to postpone the exams a bit if the students feel that they need more time to prepare so they can do better. God bless!
I took Prof Won for Bio 490, Science Study Skills. Was great to work with. Very helpful. Really is interested in having his students be successful. Would definitely take another class from him. If you have a chance to take a class from him, go for it!!! Great guy.
I took prof. Won for bio 430&431 classes...I would recommend him to everyone who actually want to study... not just get a good grade.
Professor Won is GREAT!!!! I took him for Bio 430/431 and learned so much. This is a difficult subject to teach but he makes if fun & interesting. He gives you study guides for each test so if it's not on the study guide you won't be tested on it. I definitely recommend taking his class, you won't regret it!!!
I highly recommend.He is very clear in what you are expected to know.That alone makes this class so much easier.He gives a decent amount of extra credit and its easy to get.Our class average was high. After 430, u know you have to study for this class cuz its a hard subject.He simplifies it with his study guides.They are exactly wats on the test!
won is a great teacher! The subject is not a breeze, but prof. won makes things so much clearer. I am doing great in the class and i say its simply because he is a great teacher and willing to help when you ask. study hard and you will pass this class, right now I have an 86% I hoping for a b+ or A at the end of the semsester. Won you ROCK!!
Dr. Won is great! This class is no joke, but he provides all the knowledge needed and it is up to you to do the work. His study guides for all exams are very helpful.
BEST teacher EVER!! Very understanding to personal situations and will work with you any way possible to achieving your goals! HIGHLY recommend!
HE IS AWESOME!!! I never was confused on anything he taught! He makes sure all his students understand the material before he moves on! I wish i could have taken him again for 431. If you get in his class you are VERY lucky!!! No doubt if you put in the effort you will absolutely pass.
Great professor! Took him for 430 and 431. Take him if you can get into his class!!
BEST A&P PROFESSOR EVER! VERY NICE GUY WHO KNOWS A LOT ABOUT ANATOMY. HE'S ALSO VERY CUTE. IF YOU GET A SPOT IN HIS CLASS CONSIDER IT A MIRACLE AND YOUR LIFE WILL BE TRANSFORMED FROM THAN ON.
What everyone else said about this professor is true. He really is great! I hope he will be teaching for a long time, because profs like him are few and far between. He is clear and gives you all you need to have an A in class, the rest is up to you. Take him if ur lucky! he's highly demanded, his classes fill first.
Great prof-take him if you can! Won enjoys his work & works hard to ensure students understand the material. Exams are straight from the study guide & he offers extra credit. Wish I would have had him for 430.
Best professor to take your biologies with! Offers more extra credit than any other bio teacher out there, in case you need a little extra push.. Also his A is at 88% which is also awesome! I loved him. And got an A :))) Take him if u have the chance.
Bio is a hard class itself, to do well in class you have to study alot, no matter who you are taking it with.Lots of study, study.
Class is very hard, he is using alot the cadaver for the lab even for the exams, so if you canno't stand the cadaver i suggest take someone else. not that easy to get a good grade, lots of study, and lots of quizes. Good luck.
GREAT PROF! GIVES YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!
Best Professor I've ever had!! He explains things very well, his tests are reasonable and he offers extra credit points which is always good. Also gives quizzes that help keep you on track! :) he's awesome!!!
I agree with most of the previous responses and reviews. He really is a very caring and dedicated teacher. I took 430 with another professor who was arrogant and unapproachable so having Professor Won for 431 was truly a blessing. Professor Won is very fair and does give a sufficient amount of extra credit activities to boost your grade.
the subject is hard in general but he made it very easy to undertand ... very approachable too which helps .. study models for lab practicals and notes/study guide for lecture ..
Basically, he is a great professor, clear and intelligent. BUT this class is extremely overwhelming. Lecture exams are hard. This class is strictly business, he advises to not ask questions during his 3 hour lectures. Basically your life is over for the semester you take his class, not kidding, ask any student. Good luck is all I can say.
Don't be fooled by the "easiness" number, he's a very strict and challenging professor. A&P is just a demanding class so even if you get an A you will be very stressed out throughout the semester. Overall I'd recommend him because he's clear and helpful, good luck.
I took classes at city and this was way easier. Or i just like his teaching better. You dont "have" to read the chapters because between his notes & slides its all there but it was super helpful. Do the study guide and WRITE IT OUT. Not just in your head & go over and over and over the slides and notes. If you get a B well we know what that means..
This class with any teacher is hard, but Prof. Won made it possible to pass. He lays out everything clearly and your only job is to study it. He goes way beyond other teachers in preparing study guides and letting you know EXATCLY what to study including lab practicals. He is knowledgable and really cares about his students.
He is an awesome teacher and is very knowledgeable! He is young so he gets it when we have stuff going on. His tests are based on notes and he is very clear. He gives study guides which help tremendously. It's not an easy course you have to put your time into this course. It's up to you whether you get an A or B
I rated Prof. Won easy, but you should know by now that Bio 431 IS HARD! He just makes it easy to understand. Exams based off lectures and study guides. Plenty of bonus points and also gives extra credit. He really helps you get that A, so it's up to you to STUDY and put in the time. By far the BEST prof I've ever taken though! And I've had A LOT!
Pro. Won is a straight BOSS! His explanations of such complex subjects are amazing! All my other bio classes I was just memorizing, now I actually understand (which makes A&P as easy as it gets). you know you should take him, so why are you on RMP? just be hopeful that you have enough units to get in.
Prepares you for success: provides study guides for lec and lab exams,writes out main highlights on board. Copy these and you can then study off these and his PPT slides on D2L. Always willing to help. Easy to understand.
Professor Won is very straight forward. He uses slides to teach his class, he writes notes on the board, and at times uses helpful videos. He is great at explaining the harder subjects.He uses cadavers a lot,but don't be bothered by this. Seeing the real thing is so much better than pictures.Professor Won makes the subject interesting and easy =)
Words cannot explain. Best professor ever!! He gave me hope for the future. I used to hate Bio but he makes it simple, understandable and enjoyable!! You're blessed if you get in his class. It's impossible to get anything lower than an A -just do what is asked. He wants you to succeed!! Amazing guy! Thank you Dr. Won!
Awesome professor! I took him for summer and he was just outstanding. His study guides were very helpful for the test and he was pretty clear in terms of what we needed to know for the exams. Off course be prepared to spend some time studying, its a Bio class after all. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Won for a great summer semester.
Prof. Won is a great A&P instructor. I took his BIO 431 class over the summer and got a grade of "A". His quizes and exams are from his lectures.He is very strict and professional because he wants you to succeed.He'll help you to the best he can. His concern for his students is beyond commendable.Amazing guy!I'm greatful to be in his summer class:)
PROF. WON IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. HIS EXAMS ARE STRAIGHT FROM NOTES AND SLIDES. HE PROVIDES STUDY GUIDE FOR EXAMS AND HE ALSO PROVIDES HELPFUL PICTURES FOR HIS HISTOLOGY QUIZZES.
Won is a great teacher study hard he gives study guides for both lecture and lab which the test is on that and the powerpoint slides
Just got done w/ his summer class. Hands down Prof Won is the best professor ever! He gives out a few extra credit pts. Test q's are straight from the notes and study guides. No trick questions. I didn't even need to open my textbook once for this class. I highly recommend taking him. Prof Won gave me hope in learning A&P.
Class is difficult, there is a lot of information to learn in a little amount of time. Does grade on a curve! Responds to emails fast and is very encouraging. No study guides, lots of notes and self studying(rereading notes, the book & record lectures)! Make this class your priority & you'll get the grade you want! Also do not miss class!
Amazing prof. Study guide for each unit, do it carefully and you wil get 95%+on test, as long as you do it carefuly and honestly. Lab practicals also straight to the point. This prof does not want to trick you or make ur life harder than it is already- wants for everyone to succeed. If you cant get an A in this class in HIS class-ur fault!
The class content is very tough but this Professor makes things so simple for you with clear instructions on what his expectations are for every activity. He gives 7 Lecture exams and 3 labs with study guides for each. Offered an optional finals with a study guide too. Wish had taken him for Bio430 too. Wish had taken Bio430 with him.
Organized and clear. I got an A. Tests are on lecture. Makes practicals easy. 2 online tests open note. In my top 3 favorite professors of all time.
This professor is crazy organized and he emails back really fast too. He simplified the class a lot. You don't need to read the book much. Read it for better understanding and to fill in gaps but it's not absolutely needed. No lab notebook required either! He gives lots of buffer extra credit points too. Highly recommend.
I took Professor Won after failing with another professor, and WOW what a difference. The course material is not hard to learn just requires you put the effort in to really learn it. Won is very helpful, pretty funny and a great professor. He really cares about his students!! But if you don't have early enrollment you won't get him, he's that good!
Took his class for summer school. Best decision ever! The course material is tough but Professor Won makes it easy for students. The different between him and other professors is that he doesn't like to trick his students and his test questions are pretty simple and straight forward from lecturelab. I got over 100% as my final grade. Happyhappy :)
Study guides are for the most part helpful. scantron AND written exams. Lab practicals have a lot but not tricky; need to know pictures AND models. Quizzes at start of each class period on previous day ppt's SUPER IMPORTANT! Some exams1 practical online. Gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit. Amazing teacher. Lucky if you get in!
One of the best prof for bio class, regret taking him for 430. there is no way to not get an A if you put the time and study the material ,,
Won made Bio 430 what it was. Definitely a hard class, but that's expected. He does his best to deliver the information in an organized fashion that's necessary to review on your own. Provides study guides for both lecture & lab exams. Have to be in class to grasp the difficult material. Gives a 7 point quiz before each lecture, so need be on time.
He is one of the best bio teacher! His quizzes and exams are straight forward, nothing tricky. Quizzes are in the beginning of class, don't be late! He is very helpful if you have questions, and provides open lab. Go to open lab for help and you will pass this class! Reading ahead, this way you can ask questions if you don't understand something.
1 Word: AMAZING. I always dread taking science classes but this is hands down, my favorite class and professor EVER. Dr. Won presents the material really well - clear and easy to understand. He's extremely helpful and always goes the extra mile to help you. I always look forward to his class even though it's at 7AM! Take him, you'll love him!!
Dean is Awesome. I never saw myself taking a difficult science class, and here i am passing. He was very clear on the material and always made time if you need more help. He is very passionate and straight forward. Quizzes are done at the beginning of each class on material we learned on the previous class period. Exams are tough. Need the book.
Professor Won is an amazing teacher. He is straight forward with the material you need to know for quizzes, exams and labs. Lots of material so you really cant miss class. If you are unsure about something, he is always willing to briefly go over the topic again or during after class. Quizzes are given everyday. 7 exams/ 3 labs/ 3 histology quizzes
Do not skip class! Morning quizzes usually every lecture day worth 20pts each on previous day lectures. They add up. He drops lowest quiz and lowest lecture exam. Let's you take a final to make up for a bad exam. Use study guides and study as much as possible. Even if you slack a little bit you can get a B. (If you show up) Don't over do it though. Many points available and some extra credits too. Very fair grader!
THE BEST BIO430/431 PROF. DAILY QUIZZES BASED OFF LECTURE NOTES+HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS. GIVES STUDY GUIDE AND IF YOU DO IT AND MEMORIZE IT.. YOU'LL GET AN A ON EXAMS FOR SURE. IF YOU DONT SLACK, EASY A. GIVES SOME EXAMS + QUIZZES ONLINE WHICH IS BEYOND EASY
i live 30 minutes away from ARC but drove just for prof. won. best decision ever. he's the best professor i have ever had and made biology 430/431 crystal clear. just don't slack and review your notes after class every day. got an A+
Don't miss class, study for the quizzes, and finish the study guides and you should be good. He is a really nice guy and I think he understand that we NEED As and grades in a way that you learn what you need to without being tricky or too hard. If you don't get an A with him you should really consider changing your study habits.
Won's class is simple if you put the time in to rewrite & study your notes after the class lecture. He gives quizzes almost every class day. Exams are average in toughness, also CLEAR & not tricky. If there is an essay Q for exam- he tells u what you should study exactly, to do well. GOT AN A IN HIS CLASS. Take him, you won't regret!
Great lectures. Great teacher. Best teacher to learn Anatomy and Physiology.
If you do the assignments and study the lecture notes, you'll do fine. He's very accessible, kind and fair. He's a seasoned, experienced, master teacher and knows the content extremely well. I really enjoyed this class.
Took Dean Won for 430 & then went to take 431 at Sac State (sucked), realize what gem this guy is. In the beginning he comes of as an hard ass only to establish ground rules & weed out the slackers, but after that he is great. He teaches the concept so well, that you get it. Be on time, for quizzes. Exams are multiple choices & some short answers.
Won is an Amazing A&P professor. I have many students in my class that just come to ARC for his class. He is very understanding and is clear on what will be in this exams (7). He does give an optional final, which can help boost your grade. For me, the quizzes are a little tricky, but be sure to study. I took him for 430 and 431. Has Study guides!
I absolutely just love him. Easy class. 13 pt Quiz every class. 7 lecture exams. (which is better because its less material to remember & keeps you busy daily.) 3 lab practicals. (Easy) He POSTS all his lectures on youtube. There's just no way to fail. He's very fair & there's a chance for extra credit in every quiz/lab
Professor Won is outstanding! I've taken another A&P class before and it is nothing like prof Won's class. Prof Won makes it easy to comprehend the material. His lectures aren't heavy on the details. He takes the time to explain and give examples. He has study guides and posts his lectures to YouTube so if you miss something you can always review!
I have always hated Biology in my life. Bio 430 is my 1st class. This dude has made me LOVE Biology very much. So far I understand it very well. He has an amazing passion for the subject. Words are not enough to describe my experience in his 710 AM class! I get up every day and tap dance to class. ARC is blessed to have an amazing teacher like him
First of all, he never replied to any of my emails. Second, his material is all over the place in lecture. Theres no structure, its just sporadic. He thinks were all going to cheat and goes to extremes to make sure we dont like using online proctor sites and wooden blinders during tests.
Very well respected .
Fantastic well respected Prof.
Take him!!! He's the best A&P professor from the whole Los Rios district.
He is too good to be at ARC. He teaches at the quality of a world University and deserves to be a Prof at such an institution. He is awesome period.
One of the best teachers for a bio class! I dont know how I managed to get in since his class always fills up quick. Highly recommend to all! If you work for it you can easy get an easy A but remember you need to dedicate some time for that. One thing I didnt like is his pop quizzes. Just dont fall behind and youll do just fine
hes the best you are very lucky if you get into his class very caring he wants all his students to pass with a high grade. Tests are very straight forward. he dosent give tricky test questions unlike other bio teachers I heard about. For essay questions he lets you know exactly what will be on test. BEST BIO TEACHER EVER
Professor Won is the best! If you don't pass his class with an A, something is wrong with you. He gives his students everything they need to pass such a difficult and demanding course. You just cannot fail this class, he is the best professor I have ever taken in my life and his class was just plain awesome, he will make any student love Bio!
Won is a cool professor, the class is just very PACKED and difficult. He has a sense of humor and makes learning A&P better. Take advantage of optional lab time and dont leave early!! (I know, its tempting)
Heard Biology 431 is even easier in the summer with Prof. Won. Just 8 weeks and his test will easier than regular semester. Some of my friends said that from last summer. Take it in the summer. Good luck
Love his class! Would definitely take him again
Amazing guy and teacher! Class was great too! Thanks Doctor Won
The best anatomy physiology professor!! He really is amazing! Lectures and exams are straight forward, no trick questions. He gives you everything you need to know. Easy A, just study and review his lectures and you will pass.
Fantastic Prof. If you can get in his classes consider yourself blessed. He is the kind of teacher to learn from if you want to understand A&P very well and want to go for the best a Med School. Very well respected at ARC and very professional and caring towards his students. Lines are a mile long to get in his class. There is a reason for that. GL
This guy is something else. BELIEVE ME. I had a few student colleagues come from Fairfield to take his 730 AM class because he is the BEST RESPECTED and CARING. Very hard to get in his class. Gets filled in the first day it opens.
Dean is DEAN ! Awesome !
Dean Won is a great Professor! Every class be prepared for a pop quiz. The quizzes were tricky. The 7 exams are basically from the notes you take. The study guides werent helpful, beings he only uses 10-20% on the exams, if that; so it was like I was over studying. Be prepared to study. This is not a class you can wait until the last minute.
There are 7 lecture exams. Be prepared for unexpected and tricky pop quizzes. The study guides are useless. I dont even know why he gives them to us. It made me feel like I was over studying. Study guides should help students, not confuse them. Theyre a waste of time. You definitely have to work hard in his class. Be prepared for less sleep.
Hes a nice guy, he has straightforward tests, but I dont think I really learned much. His study guide doesnt match the exam, he doesnt relay info in a way that helps you apply it clinically, and overall his lectures were kinda messy and all over the place. I want to learn, not just get an easy A. And its NOT an easy A, youll have to earn it
Prof Won is the best!! He gives study questions, lab exam study guides, and for written portions of exams, he tells you exactly what its gunna be! His lectures are the best and he records them and posts them on youtube. Most professors don't do that. Online homework due before test days. I highly recommend him and I respect him so much!!
Professor Won is a great professor. He will go out of his way to make sure you understand the material, if needing help. He Is very lecture heavy. You need to attend all lectures, as his quizes and exams are pulled straight from his lectures. He doesn't take roll, but it's in your best interest to attend all classes if you want to do well.
Professor Won is everything everyone said he would be. No wonder why it was so hard to get into his class! Anyways, assignments had due dates that were spread out in a 2 week span giving enough time for one to study for quizzes, exams, etc. He's a pretty straight forward teacher, I can't complain at all!
Professor Won was great! He is friendly, helpful, and his lectures are clear. You're allowed to use your notes on quizzes and exams, so you don't have to feel anxious about trying to memorize every detail. He even makes the Final Exam optional if you are happy with your grade at the end of the semester. What an incentive to do well during the term!
I took professor's Won BIOL431 during the summer semester, and even it was a huge amount of information that we have to cover for such a short amount of time, this course was much easier for me than BIOL430 with another professor. Professor Won is great, he has the deepest knowledge of subject, his lectures are so well explained. Exams are openbook
Biology typically is a tough class but professor won makes it as easy as possible. His lectures were all pre-recorded and easy to follow. Mastering AP homework wasn't hard. Lecture exams and lab practicals were all open book however he uses proctorio. Not an Easy A but pretty close.
The very best A/P professor within Los Rios! Took his 430 in Spring and 432 in summer. Learned a ton, made everything straight forward and easy to follow. Open note/book. Uses Proctorio. Summer was intense on time but still managed a fantastic grade. Love Professor Won!! His courses fill up QUICK for a reason!
Professor Won is the greatest professor I've ever seen. His online lectures, notes and lecture slides are very clear and you won't need to have the book. The Mylab home works are a little time consuming but very informative. It is an easy A if you see the lecture and study the notes.
He is absolutely amazing. Lectures are explained so thoroughly, and in depth you will be left with no questions. He is responsive, caring, and overall a great professor. Tests are easy to ace if you watch lecture and take notes. Light homework. Truly great prof. If you are going to be a nurse, be smart and chose him. You will NOT regret it.
Professor Won is an excellent professor. His lectures are long (expect about 3-6 hours a week) and he gives you all his notes for the exam. You can use your notes on the exams.
Dean Won is amazing. Helpful, caring, understanding. Watch lecture, take notes, ask questions, study, you will pass. Truly amazing professor. If you are pre-nursing take this professor he will prepare you for the TEAS very well. Overall loved him, and wish I could take him again. Do you self a favor and enroll in this class.
WOAH! Professor Won is amazing! He is caring and wants you to succeed. He makes sure you know what is expected of you in the beginning of the semester and gives you all the materials that you need. He is very organized. His study guide is very detailed and you will get a good grade if you focus on the study guide. I enjoy taking notes in his class!
Dr. Won is straightforward, dedicated, kind, and as you would expect, extremely knowledgeable. I took this class over the summer; while it is a LOT of necessary info to absorb, the efficient class structure makes it possible to learn everything well. If you put in the work, you'll retain everything you need to know for this class and beyond.
One of the best professors available, he really cares about his students and wants them to pass. He grades fairly quick and lets you know what he expects when giving exams. There are 3 lab practical, and 6-7 lecture exams. Its because he splits up the chapters for it to make sense. I really like how he records the lessons and uploads it on canvas.
If you have the chance to take this prof, then do it. He is a very knowledgeable professor, and makes sure that the material is understandable to his students. It is a lot of information but he breaks the workload into a schedule and as long as you follow that, you will be fine. Also do the study guides!!!! they cover whats going to be on the test
Professor Won is amazing! He's caring, funny, and really nice. The lectures can be a bit heavy, but you can definitely pass the class with his help. He has a great sense of humor that makes the lectures enjoyable. He also strike a good balance between lectures exams and lab practicals, giving you enough time to prepare. I highly recommend him!
He's the nicest BIO prof at ARC. only offers SSC for 10 points EC, which most students couldn't get b/c you can only complete that twice. This just depends, but for my class, we had no quizzes at all. He did do a lot of lab group projects which got a bit annoying at times. cant miss a day b/c he asks lect questions for credit. doesnt curve exams.
This Professor was AMAZING! I took him for 431 after not doing so well in Biol 430 and was very happy with how he taught and my grades! Labs were fun and everything he puts on lectures and study guides is on the Exams!!
Professor Won is the BEST A&P professor at ARC. Long and heavy lectures and you must study as hard as you can. Lecture exams are based on notes and study guides. If you know your notes and study guide you will get an A on the lecture exams.
Professor Won is the BEST A&P professor at ARC. I had him for BIOL 430 and BIOL 431. BIOL 431 is harder than BIOL 430. So, you should work hard and study hard for it. The lectures are heavy and a lot of information to know. Lecture exams are based on notes and study guides.
NO grade bumps and NO test curving. Don't bother asking him for either. Online homework every 2 -3 weeks or so on pearson mylab. Some of his lectures are online. I managed to pass with an A along with taking another science course only because I spent at least 25 hours a week studying. He offers some extra credit with SSC.
Professor Won is engaging and knowledgeable. The lectures are thorough, but with Unstuck ai and the provided study guides, you can ace the exams. Attend class, do the work, and you'll get an A.
I had him for 430/431. Don't enroll for a/p and whine about the difficulty. The only way to fail is to not put effort in. I have tested this theory twice ;). He is the EASIEST a/p prof. if you fail won, change major. Prepare to spend at least 25 hrs a week studying. attendance gives points. easy A if you arent lazy...
This Professor is very caring and understanding. I took him for 430 and 431. I received an A in both classes. Offers many opportunities to increase your grade. You have to put in the work and study but it is well worth it. He is always available to help if you don't understand. Take him if you want to pass with an A.
I am a dsps student with horrible memory and I am so grateful for Professor Won to let us use cards on the exam. He's also incredibly understanding, provide reasonable hw that some is later on the exam, and actually wants us to pass + having us learn! Take this class b4 you miss out. Very popular teacher!! U STILL NEED TO WORK HARD!!! STUDY !!
Explains everything easier and is extremely kind and patient with all of his students. Everybody in the class passed :D I love how once an hour or two in the lecture, he does these quiz recaps which helps us quiz ourselves (it counts as attendance not if correct) and explains them more thoroughly. A genuine, humble professor. HE DESERVES A RAISE!
Tests on pics/questions straight from study guide. Get 3x5 cheat sheet back/front on lecture exams. many extra online lectures. can get 5 points with corrections each exam. 5 lecture exams.4 lab exams. optional cumulative final that can either hurt or help your grade. no reminders on online work. allows a few letters off in spelling.
I felt like there was a lot of information to digest in a short period of time. Professor Won does a great job of making a complex topic easy to understand. His online lectures were recorded during covid and some can be lengthy. He is very down to earth. The assignments are clearly laid out. Exams are open notes. Final is optional.
COMPARED TO OTHER SCIENCE CLASSES THIS WAS SO EASY. Homework takes a few hours since it's just quizzing you on a chapter for a certain amount of time. Easy exams, timed & proctored but notes are allowed. Labs are the online simulations. Professor is really sweet and helps anytime it's needed. No zoom meetings or discussions just hw & exams!!!!
He is so talented, and try to understand everyone. Also he is not tough grader, he is seeing if the class had struggle with their exams and their scores, he provides extra credit points.
I previously reviewed this class for the first part of A&P on May 14th, 2025. Everything I mention there is the same except we had 6 lecture exams and 3 lab exams. Still get a cheat sheet and everything. Im so glad I dropped out of Daniel Slutsky's week one and waited for another semester to get Won. Definitely worth to have him for both classes.
Professor Won is an amazing teacher. His exams and lab practicals are very straight forward. They do cover a lot of material but he provides study guides and allows a notecard for exams. He is a great teacher, very organized, super sweet and understanding. I wish he could teach all of my classes.
Hands down the best professor! His lectures are super clear and easy to follow, and you can rewatch them on Canvas, which really helps. He gives tons of extra credit and even lets you use an index card on exams. The lab exams are simple and straightforward, the study guides help a lot, and reviewing the lecture notes prepares you. Highly recommend!
