He takes up the class time by talking about how great he thinks he is. This class is a waste of time. Don't take it!!! Someone should fire this guy!!

do not take him!! he just brags about himself the entire class period, you learn very little about accounting, and everything there is to know about him!

Prof. Kang teaches ACCT 101 as if it was Prof. Kang 101. All he does is talk about himself such as how rich he is, how smart he is, etc. His tests are easy if you study, but be prepared to learn nothing in his lectures.

Worst CLASS in the history of SFSU.This teacher should be fired ASAP.He talks about himself the entire class,makes you feel like you are trapped,goes over class time every single class.You will learn all about this tiger loving,playboy reading,poet,S.korean man,,but nothing about AIS.The dean should try and sit in on one of his classes.

What the others said are completely true!! basically you have to read the book and teach yourself he teaches one problem per chapter and then boost about himself, he is the worst teacher i've even come across how is he still allowed to teach?? PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HIM!! unless you want to teach yourself and not come to class, it is ****..

how this man got 10 year i will never know. he is without a doubt the worst teacher i have ever had. he doesn't teach anything in class except his own life history and then expects you to know all kinds of information on the exams. his grading scale makes no sense, he doesn't "grade you down" he shows you where you need to be "graded up."

This is the worst teacher I have ever had. He is very confusing, and when you finally thing you have something crystal clear, he changes it. Let me put it this way: I have never in my life gotten a grade below a B. After all these, years I barely passed this class. Just choose a different teacher. We have plenty of other great accounting teachers.

He has got to be THE WORST teacher in the university. He spends 75% of the class time talking about himself and how he is so smar. He reads straight from the powerpoint and doesn't fully explain the concepts. Basically just study off the homework and you will pass the class. Getting an A or B will be hard.Don't expect to learn much from this class

STUDYSTUDYSTUDY and you'll be fine..lectures are painful....essays great...tests pretty hard..so know your stuff! You will learn a lot of life lessons from him!!

Yes!stupid teacher!You wouldn't learn anything from his class. He talks about himself a lot from the beginning to the end. and a good grade is not easy to get.just waste time. he is the most boring, stupid teacher i've ever seen.

The worst professor ever! You don't learn**** from this guy, but he loves caliming to be an amazing prof.,talks a lot about S.Korea!Hard grader, uninvolved, stupid, boring, meaningless! I can't believe he is a professor, he's an idiot! You feel stupid even sitting in class listening to his dumb ass

terrible Professor! I cannot remember one class where we learned something important. as others mention he doesn't teach during class, instead he tells what seems like fake stories about his life and tries to tie them into the discussion but it is extremely far stretched. When students ask him to get back on topic he ignores them.

This is for ACCT101. Today he spent 1/2 the class leading a Fitness and Nutrition seminar. Later, during a ppt slide defining technical acct terms, he manages to relate production costs to babies and the diffs btwn German, English, & Russian philosophy. We only have 5 wks to learn ACCT 101. I don't know abt you, but I didnt sign up for TAO 101.

Total narcissist. Terrible communicator. He spends a LOT of time talking about the 3 page research paper he wrote 25 yrs ago and more time describing how to write your 1-page essay. Unfortunately, he continuously contradicts himself and you end up with no idea what and how he wants you to write. He uses class time to grade and brags about it.

Did you see him high stepping in class today? Funniest thing ever. On Monday, watch him, when he's lecturing and totally into his babbling, he'll start high stepping. BTW, for those sitting in front, how can you handle it? The guy comes inches away from your face it seems, when he says "do you see it? you got it?"

"Bear is da slow and steady. Slow and steady is da bear. You must be like da bear. I am da bear. My nickname was bear. (He writes bear on the board.) That is the key. To be da slow and steady. Like da bear. So many beautiful ladies...female scholars. You are all scholars. You must think like da scholar." --- Seriously, he lectures just like this.

Oh boy. Apparently, professor Kang grades based on simplicity more than trying to actually understand what is written. On my paper, he indicates that a citation source is missing when that particular sentence was written in my own words and thinking. I guess if you want 100s on his paper, you really must make an effort to write down to his level.

For those of you who do attend class and frequent this site regularly, I hope you don't mind if I ask you to periodically update what's been going on in class. I'll give you "brownie" points if you do. Today, for once, he was useful. He passed back papers.

This guy is hilarious

You guys are being too hard on him. I learned a lot in this ACCT 101 class. I learned about fat bears, how to be a tiger & I developed a newfound appreciation for my coffee. I also learned how spend 50 minutes solving a simple equation that would otherwise take 50 seconds.

The previous poster is correct. He spent most of the class on a really simple problem. Yet he managed not to explain it to the students who didn't understand it. Instead he explained how smart he was b/c he got it right away. It was a REALLY EASY problem, but it would've taken a minute to explain it to someone who didn't get it. He never did.

I felt so confused today bc all he did was ramble and didnt even explain the problem we did in class. i feel like i leave the class more confused than i walked in. he says math is simple n laughs about it, but yet cant even explain the problem to those of us who didnt understand a word of what he said. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I REALLY HATE THIS TEACHER, HE DOESN'T EXPLAIN THE MATERIALS AT ALL...IT'S A WASTE OF TIME ATTENDING HIS LECTURE, BUT HE GRADES ESSAY EASY, I WONDER IF HE REALLY SPENDS TIME ON READING THOSE ESSAYS..I HOPE THE MIDTERM WON'T BE HARD..HE EVEN ENCOURGE US TO GET COPIES OF QUIZ FROM PREVIOUS STUDENTS, WHAT ABOUT STUDENTS DON'T GET A COPY? THAT'S UNFAIR

Just like other reviewers below, I am in the same summer course as well. It is true, he lecture about his life more than the actual content of the course. I have to question myself, why do I know more about his life than acct 101?!?! I didn't pay my tuition to learn about some guys' life. BTW anyone got his past quizes??

I never go to class bc its pointless. Anyways its not like we do anything important, just learn about his life "Do you see it?" "Do you get it?" lol. does any one have his past tests?

Monday's routine: Enter class. Pick up exam and paper. Leave class.

so many tales to tell, the only thing i learned is how to be a tiger. his lecture was pointless, he drew and wrote whole bunch of stuff in the board, and no one understood anything. Since you are in the near-bankrupt state studying, you dont hv any choice..the only thing you can do is to go to his class and have your mind in elsewhere.

I was the #1 tiger in his evening class this fall. The guy is like Yoda, he talks about smoking a Joint (some shen shen) to relax before the test, says to be a Tiger and some other incomprehensible stuff. I loved every minute of it. Got 100% on 3/4 tests. If you are nervous type or need to be walked through every concept, GTFO. Jay is hardcore!

Terrible teacher, expect to teach yourself if you take him because you won't learn a thing in class. The only point in showing up to class is to sign in but if you don't plan to show up have someone sign in for you, you'll need all the points you can get unless you're a really good self learner.

the worst instructor i have ever seen before. the power point is not helpful at all. the lectures are always off topic. all we learn in the class is about Tiger Woods. there are 4 exams and 1 final. the exams have 4 visions, but all the questions and numbers are different, so u r lucky, u can get easier one. dont waste time and money for it

withdrew from his class. He goes really fast through the chapters and expects you to read on and teach yourself. His tests are always graded differently. inconsistent.

He is absolutely incomprehensible,not due to his accent,but because he goes off on tangents about his life.If you ask a question,don't expect any kind of answer.If you take this class don't mention bowling, Tiger Woods or Billiards) because he will get off topic for (30mins - 1hr).He says the phrase "do you got it?" about 50-100 times per class.

Jai Kang has got to be the worse professor i've ever had the luck to have. I only go to class to sign in most of the time and then leave. The times that i do stay i stay because he is in the middle of telling a pretty interesting story. Get use to his stories. I honestly can say i've learned NOTHING from this man about accounting. I got a B.

I agree with many of the dissatisfied comments about Kang. He is a TERRIBLE teacher. He says "do you see it" so many times it makes you want to scream. He does not care if you "see it" or not, he actually ended a lecture with "or something like that". I would not recommend this teacher to anyone. He should not be allowed to teach.

Horrible teacher, I had to stop going to class because I couldn't handle it anymore. Most students failed every test dnd his lectures made no sense. Don't take this class!

I can't believe this guy is allowed to teach. It's a miserable class to sit through. I only passed because I taught myself what I needed from the book. Do yourself a favor and don't take his class. And he spits so don't sit in the front 4 rows...

I'm sitting in this class now and we've sat here for over an hour with just his life story!!! Not even lecturing!!!!!!!! Where is the dean???

He never teaches in class, just keep talking his own experiences all the time. I totally can't stand him!

Seems like professors at SFSU have a hard time facing the truth. Nearly all of my ratings have been flagged, most likely by the profs themselves. Ill keep it simple this time. Kang is a professor to avoid at all costs. If the university ever cared to reevaluate their professors, please start with Kang.

He spends most of the time talking about useless stories. When he does lectures, there's no way you can understand him. However, you don't need to put much effort into this class and his exam questions are exactly the same as homework questions.

He is without a doubt the worst "professor" I have ever had the misfortune of meeting. I didn't learn a single thing, in fact I felt like he was teaching the wrong methods in class. Who debits a negative number?! Glad that I only had him for the span of five weeks. I will be popping champagne once this misery is over.

Worst professor ever. Period. His notes on the board make no sense and no one has any idea what he is talking about. He goes off on random tangents that have nothing to do with the class. If you get this professor, make your textbook your best friend for the rest of the semester.

Professor Kang is a decent guy, but HORRIBLE teacher. I don't understand how he is still teaching?? Hasn't some higher up faculty member figured out that students go to his class just to sit and listen to his personal past stories/gibberish/nonsense? Board is a mess when he teaches which is rare, doens't answer questions, tests are hard, AVOID!!!!!

I don't know how I feel about Professor Kang. Professor Kang is a nice guy, but his lectures are tedious and mandatory. He would take roll before, and after class, and this was a two hours and 45 minute class (he would go over, and lecture for three hours). His requirements changed, assignments changed, and overall he is just not clear.

I have no idea what i learned in his class! He is a very nice guy but too smart to teach, yeah that's it. So smart his way is just not for the rest of us. AVOID him if you can. I regret having taken him because I had to self teach myself from a useless book!

Do not ever take this class unless there is no more seats in community college

I have never had a teacher this terrible. I am a straight A student, and this class was ridiculous. He takes 2 hours to do a single problem on the board that should only take 20 seconds. I can never understand him. He refuses to use formulas. Tests throw curve balls Choose another teacher, I beg you. This man shouldn't teach! Learned nothing.

Jai Kang is very smart but a terrible teacher. He becomes frustrated when people ask questions and then he doesn't go over there question because he said he already went over that question. His lectures are mostly about his life in Korea or golf. He also won't stop talking about how you should act like a cat and don't act like a dog... so yeah

since day 1 I never understood him but I thought it was because the subject was hard, but than i noticed i still didn't know what was going on in class and i was there every monday for 3 hours just sitting lost. Wants work done his way not like book. talk about himself alot and gets off subject all the time

Worst teacher I've ever had at SFSU. He expects you to stay all three hours of class to talk about the material for maybe 20 minutes & the rest of the time talking about himself. Going to class is mandatory but most just sign the sign in sheet and leave. Very unclear, scattered. He's not helpful & plan to teach this course to yourself.

not a good teacher at all. please do not take his class if there is another option. does not teach and won't attend is office hours even when he has set times to meet up with students. I took him because I had to.

If I was dying and I had one minute left. I would spend it in this class because class feels like an eternity...

stay away of him please, take an other one.

Professor Kang is a rude professor who does not even do the bare minimum of teaching. He goes on millions of tangents, and asking him for help feels like speaking to a wall. Do yourself a favor and avoid this guy.

I was kicked out of class permanently because I had a B after the first exam. It is all good, I got in another section and am very happy in the class. Not allowing me to take his class was the best thing Professor Kang has even done for a student. Don't take this class if you want your schedule to be thrown in the garbage bin for six months.

Not a good professor at all. He will always go off tangent and you won't learn anything in the class.

He's a nice guy but not a great professor. He will spend 95% of the time in class going on tangents out of a 2 hours and 45 minutes class. If you plan to stay, then prepare to self teach the entire semester.

This was one of the worst classes I took, and he would always talk about himself the whole 3 hours. I remember looking up from my phone and seeing everyone on their phones not listening to him. But, as long as you understand the content and his formatting of his tests(do the mock tests) you'll do fine. I honesty ended up with an A bc I self studied

This professor is in another dimension of his own that not even students in this dimension can understand him. He will ramble for 2 hrs 40 mins out of 2 hrs 45 mins about his life and other nonsensical things and only spend at most 5 mins about accounting. So be prepared to self teach and study.

Jai Kang spends almost all of the time in class going on a tangent and barely goes through accounting materials. He can be rude, cryptic, and condescending when you try to approach him. You rather take someone else and don't mention him as your last resort. It's that bad.

Jai Kang is probably the worst professor in SFSU. Kang acts as if he's the smartest person on Earth and everyone around him is stupid. He confusing, disorganized, and rambles about everything besides accounting. But when he teaches, which rarely happens, he over-complicates a 1 minute problem into a 1 to 2 hour problem.

He forgot we had a test one time and we got to take it home. Be prepared to fail if you don't embrace your inner tiger. Nice dude tho he gives hella opportunities to make up for missed assignments.

Worst class I've ever been in, DO NOT enroll in this course. Haven't understood a single one of his lectures, have taught myself everything. Complete waste of time.

worst professor in sfsu

Please do not take this professor unless you don't have any other choice. He didn't give us a single lecture. Instead, he went on solving homework problems. Unfortunately, this approach left many students struggling, as we hadn't been taught the concepts required for those homework problems. If you ask him any question, be ready to get yelled at.

First day of class Mr.Kang just talked about himself and never really teached anything for the first week of classes. Mention he a fantastic tutor/teacher but doesn't really show it. Doesn't explain the homework and you have to do the homework yourself. Do not recommend.

Worst professor for Accounting. If you can avoid his class, avoid his class. If you are doing homework online on the date it is due, and the site goes down, he will NOT extend anything. He does not teach anything. All he does is play solution videos from the site during class time.

Worst professor at SFSU teacher! Do NOT take his class if you have any other options. He teaches nothing but talks about how successful his past experiences were. Whenever you ask questions, he will be acting crazy like yelling at you to check out the syllabus! He always shows a manner toward others as if they owe him something.

Do not take this professor!! He barely teaches anything during class time and instead talks about himself and his time in college. He claims to want to "help" his students, but anytime you ask a question, he yells at you and essentially tells you to figure it out yourself. Save yourself; this class is a headache.

Every bad review you see is true. He will waste class time and yell at people to turn their cameras on. We just sit here here and listen to him rant about nothing related to accounting. Did you know he passed the CPA exam without studying? He told us just about 10 times and it is only the first week of class. AVOID

Professor didn't really teach, all he does is go over some homework. If you ever have any questions regarding the material, he will yell at you and make it seem like it's your fault.

Do not take. He is strict and only lectures about himself. He will show solution videos but never explains anything further. If a different professor is teaching the same course, I would take them instead.
