He is actually really clear on what he is saying, but some times he said something and then he won't admit it. The course itself is not as bad, just don't take him.
He is the hardest teacher everrrrrrr. Never take this guy. **** he may be a good accountant, but as a teacher, he doesn't know how to teach. Seeing as how this is his first year here. He makes his mts as if everyone has accounting down, but if we did, we wouldn't be taking him in the first place. Long qs u'll never get enough time to finish!!!!
Never take him. He's such a terrible teacher. His useless powerpoint presentation is no use. His midterms are so long and contains things you haven't even learned about. Definitely find a teacher who can actually teach.
Hard teacher. Average mark on midterm 60%. Very ambiguous teaching method. Avoid Avoid Avoid if possible! HW assignment are pointless but he thinks they help...or at least they pass the time in a 3hr class.
I wasn't going to leave any comments, but lokong at what's there I just need to say that he is actually a really nice guy. A bit prideful and that got in the way of his effectiveness. To balance the comments, it was his first semester so some room for error. That being said, it really sucks to be that test case. I'm sure he'll be better next time.
He was pretty proactive at the beginning, finding out how comfortable we were with the subject and checking out our previuos experiance. I think he got just as discouraged as us after the midterm and didn't really step up. Really nice guy, good intentions, but ust not quite able to bring himself to see things from our level or understand our strugg
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF!!!!!!! His first midterm is easy and he acts reasonable untill the second midterm and final where he tests students on not previously reviewed material. I had an tutor and an A average and still did terrible in this class.
No Comments
Easy to understand. Tells the class exactly what is on the exam.
"In hindsight, the exam may have been a bit too long" --> the truth was, the exam was impossible to finish. It was not only long and difficult, he gave us only half the time. He doesn't know what he's talking about. He says exactly what's in the text book. What's the point of paying him to teach when we can just read it ourselves?
Did not speak english. Cannot write at all, but squiggles instead. Avoid him at all costs.
DO-NOT-TAKE-HIS-COURSE. I'm a 4.00 student and trust me this guy CAN NOT teach. i had to learn things myself, hes useless and even said "you have the textbook, there is no excuse for you to not know this material!" he doesnt want to teach at all, horrible in every way, first exam is ok but after the prof review he will NAIL YOUR GPA down, BE WARNED
Horrible teacher. homework doesn't reflect anything he teaches in class and on exams. gets distracted easily and is quite boring. i wouldn't recommend him.
Great teacher, good notes and power point slide posted online after class. Assigned questions that were similar to what he put on the exam. Always willing to talk after class to explain concepts. People who complained about him probably would just prefer a slower paced classroom.
hard class but if u work hard, u'll manage 2 get at least a B-. good prof. always willing to help.
Seems like a nice guy but is not the best teacher. You have to teach yourself how to do everything. He is available outside class to help but expect to learn everything from the textbook. If you are not good at learning on your own..DO NOT take this class
I would suggest that this teacher take a long look at why he became and instructor; because it seems that he is just there for the paycheck and does not care about actually helping students to be successful. Why teach?? It's a loose loose situation for everyone!
Decent teacher. The first half of the class would be a powerpoint that mirrored the textbook. In the second section we would do questions. The second half was very helpful. His tests can throw you off, though, since they aren't always in the same style as the homework and textbook questions, but if you understand the concepts you'll do fine.
DO NOT TAKE THIS GUY!!!, first exam will be easy, after that exams are really hard. Even if you do all the lyryx and homework assignments propa, the question on the midterm will be totally different. Do Not take him, if you do, you will have to take this course again.
What's the point of going to class? Here's his teaching plan: Spend less than half a class rushing through the chapter (not giving anyone time to take notes or absorb anything) then spend 2-3 classes doing problems in groups and NOT explaining how to get the answers. No point of going to class, you're going to learn everything on your own. Useless.
DO NOT take this course with him. The 1st 4 weeks of class had 36 students. 12 were left after the 6th week.
For those who don't do the assigned readings and questions and expect to learn in class, don't bother. You'll likely fail. The assigned readings are what teaches you the concepts. The classes only reinforce what you learned and clear up any problems you had when doing the questions. Read the text and do the work and it's an easy pass.
Unclear on feedback and incredabley high standards. Should be more constructive with critisism avoid signing up with this teacher
Worst. Prof. Ever. Doesn't care about teaching and lectures do not relate to the exams or homework questions. He doesn't really even teach... Waste of time and money. If you care about your gpa, you will avoid him at all costs.
if u dont go to class, u will fail. if u dont to the readings u will fail. and u should do them b4 class as well so u will understand whats going on. must do alot og questions on your own if u wanna do well. hes not as bad a teacher as others say. teaches u everything u need to know.
Take this guy equals TAKING Business COURSES with CHAN CHOON HIAN. Think about this class before taking it, otherwise will be same results as Chan Choon Hian from BUSI Management!!!
Pretty good dude for ACCT 1110, first 2 mid-terms were fair, final was very difficult though. If you do practice questions out of book and pay attention in class you can get a B+ with relative ease, but if you start to slack, catching up is hell.
A tough course, but does not help when the professor is condescending. It seems he has a chip off his shoulder because he would find ways to ridicule his students. Teach and not have us learn the material and do questions in class. Cover the material, and stop compensating whatever it is that he is lacking.
Best Teacher at Kwantlen. People take 2293 which is a compressed course and CGA,CA,CMA course and expect to do nothing and easy exams. If you READ to required reading and do the Questions you can get an A. He is always willing to help and a REALLY NICE guy. If you work hard you will get an A and LEARN, people that don't will blame the teacher.
Course is rushed but that is not due to his teaching, it is an accelerated class. Due to the pace, you need to pre read each chapter prior to coming to class. As long as you pre read and do all the assignments, it is an easy class and he is an interesting and approachable teacher. Get behind and you are screwed.
Excellent professor - explainations are crystal clear and aRE related to real life. Is always available to help and manages class time for questions. Encourages group activities and has an extremely positive attitude! I would recommend this instructor to anyone.
Good teacher for high levels of accounting. Bad for ACCT 1110. Teaches as if you already know what he's talking about. Very difficult. Switched profs right before first mid term and got a 42% from his lectures and a 72% from the new profs. Would not recommend his class.
He is a bad teacher and never teaches abt anything that he puts in exams..I got A- in 1110 and got f in 1210 with him..My suggestion is nvr evr take his class..He teaches as if u knw everything prior.
DO YOUR READINGS BEFORE CLASS!!! He goes through some of the exercises in class and might pick on you to answer it. Work hard in his class.
Based off accounting courses in high school I knew alot of the stuff he taught, resulting in an A in the class for me. However, I don't think he was the best prof as I had to teach myself alot of the new material that I learned. I only liked the fact that his tests are ALL written problems and NO multiple choice or true/false questions.
Course is heavy.He is not helpful at all. He was not clear about expectations from students & assignments. he pointed out mistakes one case study at a time. Working on one case study every week was too much. He is a strict marker & expects a lot from students. If you attend his class, be prepared for self study & double work than other classes.
Great prof, very nice guy. He does except you to read the textbook before classes and moves through the lecture slides very quickly. Does LOTS of problems in class, and is willing to help you outside of class time. Both midterms were easy, however the final was SUPER hard, and it was worth 50%
he is by all means, the worst of the worst of the worst teacher that i have ever met in my entire life. He does not teach, and does care about his students at all. you will regret it for sure if you're taking his class.
He is the worst teacher,never replies you no matter how urgent it is.And never puts any thing in exam which he does in class..Please dont take this guy.He is mean and worst.
Consistently maintains an over confident and righteous attitude. High level of expectations with little to support them. Misguides and openly lies to students, leaving students abundantly confused. Lectures are blurred. Exams are misleading. Needs to improve on student relations and teaching fundamentals. Be prepared for a hurricane of confusion.
I took the accelerated 1 with him in the spring 13 semester. Many ppl don't like his teaching style, but it actually helped me build a solid foundation for the int. acct course. For half of the class, he goes over the problems in the book step by step to let you know exactly what u r doing. The MT questions r similar to ones on wiley and in the bok
Expects a lot from students. Nice guy, he's willing to help during office hours, but the only reason I passed was because I was only taking two other classes. Barely enough time to complete all the questions on exams. Final is worth 50%, is REALLY hard. Brought my grade down significantly.
If students read the textbook and do the exercises, it is very easy to get a high mark. I think most accounting courses are not very interesting except you are going to develop a career in it.
Tough marker!!!
Worst professor I have ever had. I can appreciate a teacher that challenges hisher students to do their best but this Ho openly ridicules his students and as a result intimidates them and ultimately hinders them from asking further questions for clarification. If one can avoid him, be sure to do so. Tough exams +limited time+crappy marking bad.
His tests contains material that was is not taught in lectures, homework, or textbook. First midterm average was 54%, second midterm average was 57%. Would not recommend.
Decent GPA, woked hard, failed his class. WORST PROF EVER.
I felt that ho was no help at all in this class, he is very sarcastic and rude and talks as if you should already know the answers before he teaches the chapter. He marks according to his "moods" and is unfair when marking exams. I would NEVER take this prof ever again as I felt he doesn't help you at all understand the concepts.
I can't believe even after attending class everyday, doing homework everyday, studying so hard for mid terms, still failed it. There was not enough time to do mid terms, average was lower then 50%. Mid terms were so hard, its the Hardest class I ever got, I received a B+ in acct 1110, n F in Acct 1210, unbelievable. Will not take this prof again.
This is my worst class till date, after full attendance, full effort on homework and wiley, got F. I will not take this prof again. Average of class was lower then 50%.His exams are so hard, its more like a self study class, where he expects you to know everything that's in the chapter. I got a B+ in Acct 1110, n F in Acct 1210, unbelievable.
Tests are incredibly hard and all written (no multiple choice). Class was mostly self-study.
For an introductory course the final exam was really tough.
just don't take this class if you expect want a good grade.. even if you are an A student his class will definitely throw that off.. I've never done so bad. SO Stay away from this class!
WILL HELP U ANYTIME NO MATTER WHAT. he makes u work for ur grade. Doesnt give extra assingments to bumb ur mark. If u r struggling go get help and that will improve ur mid term?exam marks. don't blame him for ur own laziness.
Ho Yee is a great prof. He's ready to help you whenever you ask him. I had him for acct 1110, 1210 and entr 3120. It doesn't matter about showing up to class, you should be participating. His marking is tough but it prepares you extremely well for the next classes. The way he teaches is great for students to be motivated and active in class.
Good professor
Unfair marker. Words assignment criteria poorly and does not help when asked to clarify. Does not seem to want students to succeed
I got a F in his class and I thought its my problems, so I take it again in next semester. I got B. Now Im realize its his problems.
Very, very difficult teacher. It is very much a self-study class. He tells you WHAT to do but not HOW to do it- results in very low grades on all tests. No MC on his exams, all written. He is a tough marker. I would not take a class with him again.
Friendly guy and homework is not very difficult. BUT Tests are extremely hard and worded completely different than his examples; not to mention he's a very unfair marker. Strongly recommend anyone who is viewing this and contemplating to take his class - don't. Class avg was under 50% for a reason, don't throw your money away.
Ho Yee Low kinda looks like my grandpa which is disgusting.
Class for Spring 2017 hasn't even started and he already gave me an F. Ho Yee definitely likes to give Low grades.
Ho Yee is a really tough grader, but he's fair. Do your homework assignments and seek help with him during office hours. He's always happy to meet to explain concepts. Can come across as arrogant sometimes, but if you show you put in effort he'll do his best to help you out. DO NOT SKIP CLASS. Put in work! This is university not highschool.
Okay he isnt the worst teacher, everything he taught me, I aced those sections on the tests but at the end of the day, hes very vague and is not thorough in his lectures, for every one thing he teaches, he will leave out 3 other important information so definitely do practice questions and read the textbook.
Ho Yee is an okay professor. Not bad, not great. But, his marking of case studies is ridiculously hard. If you plan on taking this class with Ho Yee, be prepared to work. This class is insanely difficult, and harder than any of the fourth year classes that I've taken. I'd recommend AT LEAST approximately 10 hours per week of studying to pass.
Avoid if you can
Horrible professor. He is the worst prof i have ever met in 4 years. Avoid with all cost
This is the hardest grading prof I have ever had as a 3rd year student at kpu and provides very little to non-existent feedback for the extremely low marks given to students. There are around 10/34 students left in the course because of his poor and inconsistent grading. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
This is the worst professor ever. He told us in the 1st class that what this website (ratemyprofessor) says about him is myth, but it's not. He's really the toughest marker and doesn't make students to understand the chapters. He doesn't help and show any efforts for students to get higher marks. Just don't take classes with him...
He is a really helpful instructor. If you follow his feedback, this class is a GPA BOOSTER. I spent no more than 4 h per week on this class still got a B. The cases were intriguing. Treat each case as if a novel and try to feel the characters. Ask yourself if you are the person what will you do? Then the rest becomes natural.
I am surprised by the easiness of this class or Ho might just do an amazing job at teaching. You don't need to learn anything new, just apply what you have learned. He literally goes over the case in details during class. Final was a walk in the park: didn't even prepare but done in 2h.
This is the hardest grading prof I have ever had as a 3rd year student at kpu and provides very little to non-existent feedback for the extremely low marks given to students. Only 3 students passed his class.
Class averages were surprisingly high for my class with 70% most of the time (final was slightly lower 65%). The only people that failed were those students that stopped coming to class. His lectures were fun. Don't really have to attend classes as long as you know your cases well.
Ho knows what he is doing, just listen to him. Best prof ever. Strongly recommend him for any available classes he teaches.
He was a great professor! Always available to help you inside and outside the class. He explains the problems well. The testes are not difficult if you practice the exercises that he provided in the class and on homework. I really hope to have another class with him (;
After reading all of the reviews given for this professor I was unsure how to feel going into his class. Went in with an open mind and was impressed. Very good professor, has passion for what he teaches, wants you to succeed as a student, but also challenges you, which I thought was great. His lectures are great, and he is very knowledgable.
Avoid him at all costs. So bad.
Worst professor I have ever seen. He does not care at all. Nearly half of the class withdrawal from the course in the middle of the semester. I did this course second time and I thought Professor won't matters but I got even less marks second time. Nearly 5 or 6 students attended his lectures in our class. Avoid him and save money.
awesome professor. Explains topics beautifully and precisely.
More than half the class dropped out. He makes the course super difficult, feedback is extremely vague/non-existent and marking is very tough. The course doesnt really teach you anything but adds so much stress. This was one of the worst classes I've been into in 4 years and the prof makes it harder. A GPA dropping exercise with no learning at all
This professor should reassess his career choice. He clearly has no motivation to teach students or help them succeed. Doesn't stick to his grading criteria or provide useful feedback. Avoid this professor at all costs.
This is the worst professor ever encountered. He is there to test you, not to teach guide and support your learning. Do not take his ENTR 3100. maybe he is good at teaching other courses, but do not take ENTR3100 from him at all costs.
Very disappointed in my experience with Mr Low. Completely absent teacher, barely checks in. For my acct 2293, he has not posted one lecture, rather has used lectures from other professors. I dont even know what his voice sounds like because he never posts or paticipates. He doesnt take 20 minutes to film his own lecture, he posts youtube links
Just remember, you're paying for this. If your learning style is entirely 100% self-directed, then yeah, take this course with Mr. Low. There is little to no information being taught in his class and is mostly online, feedback is not constructive, you'll spend hours working on homework and all for him to be an extremely harsh marker. I would avoid.
Avoid at all costs. Take Brad Anderson instead. He rarely ever gives grades higher than a 60% and average for case studies are always around 40%. You won't have any idea what to do because he doesn't teach you anything and will laugh in your face at any question. He shouldn't be teaching this class, or this class should be changed; Its impossible..
He's super objective! Teach nothing, and gives useless feedbacks. The class average is about 40%. You need to spend lots of time and end up getting nothing. Avoid him if you wanna pass!
Do not take Mr. Low for ENTR 3100!!!!! It is already the hardest course in Business but Mr. Low makes it harder. Very very tough grader and very very picky about the tiniest things like grammar and wordings. Don't take unless you're super good at analytical skills and writing skills.
This professor does not give feed back and should be fired. Asking students to study by themselves while having so much questions wanting to ask the professor. If you want to fail take the professor. He disgraces the name of a teacher.
Very unpleasant learning experience. Does not showcase his lessons, just talks and expects us to be on the same page. Would never want to take his class again. Just no
Don't set high expectations in the beginning, as it makes you frustrated and demotivated as grades are usually lower than 50%. I decided to withdraw but he was the one who ask me to continue and I managed to pass. He is always be there to help you, no matter its a weekend or holiday. Replies to your email in the same day.
worst professor in the world, do not take his class if you want to pass, he is a joke
Here is the thing, ENTR 3100 is the HARDEST course at KPU and has a very low pass rate. It is not impossible but you have to put in the effort. Take no marks for granted that extra 5% for MBTN is a lifesaver or the 10% for assignments. Its all case study use lots of exhibits and he answers questions for people needing help. Do all the work assigned
Avoid!! Take Brad Anderson or Christina instead! This class is already hard as it is and Mr.Low does not make it any easier. He is super picky and our class average was 40% for most of the cases. He barely gives higher than 60%. His expectations are way too high considering the amount of feedback and guidance we get. AVOID
Avoid, avoid and avoid. This professor is awful and he does not help his students. he is filled with an attitude that he knows his stuff but is not willing to or open to student suggestions. I know many A+ students who felt they were failing his course. I think he should change his profession, he is not a good teacher.
Get ready this course is the hardest in the entire business school at KPU. Mr. Low marks quite hard but leaves plenty of room to fix your mistakes. He does not teach the material rather facilitates a great discussion and if you use your classmates findings to benefit your case reports. Do all the homework 15% is valuable
