He's absolutely adorable!!!! And for his first time teaching he's pretty clear on what he's teaching. Some jokes throughout the lecture making it not overly boring. Some people said that he didn't explain things very clearly but so far I understood everything he's taught. Posts slides online as well.
huge legend. would recommend
Very understanding and relatable. Very good at explaining concepts and gives good, thorough examples.
Great prof! He explains concepts really well and provides TONS of examples to ensure you're understanding the concepts. He provides practice midterms 2 weeks before the exam and posts all his slides online immediately. He is also extremely funny and it is obvious he wants his students to do well in his class.
Jeewon is really the best kind of professor you can have in the university. He gives his lectures in a very lively way, and is accessible outside the classes. Absolute great personalities: very relatable to his students and always tries his best to explain hard concepts in the simplest and interesting way.
He is a great professor. He explains everything in details. He also uses some interesting ways to make you awake.
Absolutely adorable prof!!! Very relatable and delivers his lectures in a great way! Very much likely to take his lectures again if possible.
Probably the best math prof to have. Manages to make math fun while explaining concepts very clearly. Just an overall wonderful guy
Hilarious and well-prepared.
Breaks down a math problem from a Korean zombie movie (Kingdom from Netflix). Lots of examples and clear explanation. Easy access through email. Go take him even if you hate math.
This man is a gem. He gives very clear explanations, does lots of examples in class, doesn't give a lot of homework but gives lots of resources to practice, he's hilarious and will host review sessions himself. Take as many of his courses as possible.
The instructor Jeewon Yoo was an amazing experience and made a subject which I felt I was lacking in turn into one I felt I could handle. His enthusiasm and love of math help create an amazing atmosphere even in a large lecture hall. Along with his jokes come a learning atmosphere which was clear and effective.
The best math prof you could have. He gives so many examples to practice and give clear concise notes. He makes the whole class laugh with jokes and demos. He makes math easier and manageable. Definitely worth taking his class.
Take his class!! He lectures are always engaging and and he makes lots of jokes throughout to make things interesting. Jeewon is an absolutely amazing prof, is really approachable and is willing to help students. His midterms were easy and closely followed his practice midterms. Would definitely take any of his courses in the future.
The eminent Jeewon Yoo, I will miss you being my professor. Sincerely, Every student in your Math 101.
JEEWON IS A LEGEND! He is literally FLAWLESS. Gives us great notes, explains it well, crack really good jokes, he even once brought cucumber to class to explain a concept lol. He explains even more in dept if you go to his office hours. Practice MT is similar to the actual one. Last day of class everyone stood up and gave him 20 seconds of applause
jeewon is by far the best prof ive ever had, he cares so much about his students and practically lives in his office. hes always available to help and explains things so well!! his practice midterms are so similar to the real midterms and he provides tons of practice material for the final! if you can take his class DO IT!!! everyone LOVES him!!!
the best prof ever...
Jeewon is by far the best prof i've had at UBCO. He teaches all the concepts so well, the midterms are very fair as he goes over almost the exact questions he will be testing prior to the exam, and he is very helpful in office hours. If you can get in his class, DO IT! You won't regret it, he is amazing.
jeewon cares so much about his students it's insane. on the 2nd day some ppl complained about the speed of the lecture so he switched his lecture style to make sure everyone could keep up. his midterms are basically the same as the problems from the lecture slides. he's so sweet and loves to crack jokes. best uni prof you could ever ask for.
One of the best prof in the university. He made the difficult content now difficult at all. Attending his class and being focus on his lecture, you won't have to put extra effort to study to get a good grade. Definitely would take his class again!
Jeewon is by far one of the best teachers I have had in my entire life of schooling. Not only is he really straight forward and great at his job, he really cares about his students and only hopes for their success. It was truly a pleasure being in his class and his words of encourgement really push you to try your absolute best. Best teacher ever!!
JEEEEWOOOOONNNN is such an amazing prof, he cracks jokes all the time and the E.T limit conditioning is such a great example of limits. Really helps me understand the content and i recommend his class 1000%
Great prof, really funny. Love the class
Jeewon is a beauty and is a great lecturer. He's young and easy to understand. his lecture notes are good and he goes fast but you can follow. There's online assignments due every week so its easier to do it in a group. The tests are fair in respect to the practice midterm and studying those concepts well.
Absolute legend! He literally wants his students to succeed and it is apperant! Once before a midterm, I was super stressed and he took half an hour before the midterm began to sit down with me and help me understand concepts i was having troubles with. Nicest guy in the world and SOO funny!!! Do yourself a favour and take his class!!!!
BEST MATH TEACHER YOU I EVER HAD.
He can sense when the class needs a break and sometimes let us out a few minutes early for a coffee. He is always so kind and gives us updates on how his FIFA games go the first minute of class and everyone laughs so we always start on a positive note.
best prof ever I am in love in many ways. Hero. Leader. Role model. Model.
I was in the alternative lecture class, but occasionally i was able to attend his class when i had a break from lab weeks. This professor i the best teacher i've ever met. Really knows how to build difficult concepts of basic fundamentals. He doesn't skip easy steps which is nice for first years.
Jeewon is the BEST. I switched my original math section just to have him as my prof! He had so many office hours, I always found myself available to attend most of them throughout a week and they were really beneficial! He really wants his students to succeed and is so hilarious and engaging in class. Wish he was my math prof foreverrr :(
Probably the best professor I have ever had, even though I did not actually pass the class, the notes I have will actually allow me to pass the second time. And he is such a funny guy and never wins FIFA, makes class entertaining and cares about his students' success.
HE IS THE BEST! I didn't pass the course because I failed the final exam because thats the rule but he is one of the best Math teacher I ever had. He is full of jokes and the best ones are his updates in FIFA. I'm taking the course again with him. Follow him in youtube as G1 Academy. Jeewon GOAT
I was in an alternative section, but I always attended his open "office hours." I have also attended some of his lectures when I was able, and he definitely makes the class more engaging than other professors. That said, students with no calculus knowledge in the other class would have had it more difficult. Jeewon is a great PROF for first-years!
LEGEND. I failed the course because I failed the exam but that was not because Jeewon didn't teach the content well enough. Now I can use his notes to pass the course this time around. 10/10 recommend.
Jeewon is a great professor. He made the course fun by relating it to topics we cared about. This made the lectures clear and engaging. Lots of examples given in lectures and not much theory. He teaches what you are expected to know and the tests well reflect the in class examples.
He is honestly the best professor I've ever had. So cute, so handsome. He even used E.T. to describe limits! I would definitely take his class again. Thanks to him, I love Math and Kpop now!
real dude
This guy is a real gem. He explains all the topics so easily. Also, always give attention to his "Hot Tip"
Prof. Yoo was the best math teacher I've had. He hand-wrote all of his notes and was very helpful throughout class. Make sure to show up for tutorial as there is a graded quiz each week, but overall he seemed very nice and intelligent. Definitely recommend over Prof. Butz.
Jeewon is a gem! If you can I highly recommend that you take his class. His way of lecturing is easy to understand and he cares about his students' success. He has lots of great jokes and "spicy tips".
I thought his class was easy because I had already taken it in high school, however I felt sorry for those who hadn't taken the class before. Great guy, but I found that only about 50% of his lectures actually helped my understanding. Better choice than Hare from what I've heard.
The best math professor!
This prof made my first year enjoyable. I usually hate math, but Jeewon made me enjoy it. Tests are extremely similar to practice tests so you're not left confused on questions you didn't know. I seriously emphasize this. If you have to take calculus seriously chose him, you will not regret it. However his TA's are no help.
Jeewon is an amazing professor. I cannot explain enough how much he wants all his students to succeed and pass the class. He extended his office hours to four times a week just because students needed that extra help. The material taught was definitely hard to grasp at some points but he always made everything easier to understand. Literally a gem.
Jeewon is the BEST post secondary prof I've had (so far). He is hilarious, adorable, and makes classes interesting. I took calc 1 in high school so it was super easy for me and so I can't speak for others, though he used some memorable methods of learning things! 10/10 I would recommend taking his class!
The best prof that I've had, and the best math teacher that I've ever had (and I've had LOTS of math teachers/tutors because math is my weakest). Extremely passionate about teaching, and puts his students before himself. I am not joking to say that if you take this prof you won't be disappointed. Respected/loved by all, funny, and inspirational.
Jeewon is the best prof I've ever had! A really responsible and caring prof who would reply to emails right away even when the mail was sent at 2am. He gave amazing lectures and explained all the complicated concepts really well! The midterms & finals were pretty similar to the practice tests & lecture examples. For sure will take his class again!
I love this man I actually understand his lectures (and I hate math and failed last sem) and he's so sweet and so funny!!
Offers funny and engaging lectures (with his signature "hot and spicy tips") and is very quick to respond to emails!!
I was hesitant about taking math online cuz of corona but professor yoo is an AMAZING teacher. He sounds very passionate and excited to teach. He also finds a way of keeping students engaged during long lectures (idk how but i look forward to math now). Yoos very clear and even goes through each step with detail to make sure were not confused.
You can tell that he genuinely cares about every student. If all of my profs were as encouraging as him I'd be so confident. He knows what he's talking about, and is amazing at relaying the info in ways everyone can understand. He makes fun analogies for everything, which makes even calculus easy. He should be showing the other profs how to teach!
Awesome teacher, great at explain lectures and gives many examples to help learn the material by far my favourite teacher
Jeewon is one of the most caring and wholesome profs ever! He truly cares about his students and our mental health as well as our success in his course. He loves his job and he loves math. He has funny little comments and gimmicks that help students remember topics. I have struggled with math all my life, but Jeewon made me happy to try hard!
Jeewon is my favourite first year prof. it was a bit easy because ive already taken caclulus but his lessons were super simply but still informative.
Absolute best prof I've ever had. He's super diligent his explanations and in making sure that his students understand the work as he is teaching it. He's super sweet as well. I'd say there's a perfect workload for this class. Enough to make sure you are thoroughly learning and understanding content but still very manageable. :)
I didn't even take Jeewon's class this semester but I came back just to leave a good review from last year. He is BY FAR one of the best teachers I have ever learned math from. Super understanding if you cannot grasp the material, he tries to work WITH you to make sure you understand. A phenomenal educator, if you can take his class do it!!!!
Jeewoon is seriously the best prof I have ever had, no joke! All the reviews are correct he is AMAZING as a teacher and as a person. Very kind, caring, understanding, super funny and, fair marker. The content is clac but thinking that it's going to be bad is incorrect-easily 1 of my favourite classes. I took math 100 and 101 covid summer w/ A, A+
Jeewon is such a gem of a prof!! He is so funny, caring, and understanding. He genuinely wants the best for his class. The lab tests were quite a bit different from learnt material (in my opinion) but the other professor wrote them, just be ware. I would 100% recommend switching into his math class, and he made online learning transition easy!
Probably one of my favourite teachers ever! I suck at calculus but I always looked forward to Jeewon's lectures as he really cares about what he is teaching which is so important in a good professor.
Jeewon is a fantastic prof. He's funny, engaging, and clear. His expectations are high but reasonable. His hot & spicy tips are a highlight of the course, and he has some creative analogies. I would recommend him to anyone, even if you don't like math.
Amazing professor. Cares for his students and loves math. Would recommend his class to anyone.
Jeewon is the best professor I had this semester. He adjusted so well to teaching online, and his lectures always brought a smile to my face. I don't really like math, but I really enjoyed this class. He had so many office hours and was so helpful, even adding an extra office hours in the evenings so everyone could attend. His class was amazing!
amazing
Super caring and nice prof great lectures never got to see his face because of the online lectures.
Honestly best prof in the whole university. His lectures are very clear, uploads notes, is very understanding, and is funny. 200% would take his class again.
Best UBCO professor.
Jeewon was hands down, my best prof this semester. You can definitely tell that he wants you to do well in his class. His tests are fair and if you pay attention in the lectures, you will do well on them. His final was hard but he adjusted it so it ended up being really nice. If you pay attention, you WILL do well in his class.
Words can't explain how much I respect him. He's just so kind and worried about his students. Math has never been my strong point but he made it enjoyable and tried his best to do everything he could for everyone to do well. Everyone already knows he's amazing, if you can get his class PLEASE DO.
Best professor in the world fr. Really really caring person and he really tries to make the course easier for everyone to understand
Jeewon is about the only professor who cared about students stress and cared for us enjoying class instead of just doing assignments and going through the content. Im not a math person, and let me say no one has the ability to make class this engaging. It was a lot of work and the final was HARD, but he was incredibly forgiving about it.
This man broo.. a rare gem. One of the best professors I have ever seen. He is very caring and he explains everything very clearly. He does everything to helps us, students, to succeed in his class. Definitely would recommend to a friend - IMDB 10/10, Rotten Tomatoes 100%
Professor Yoo is one of the most caring and enthusiastic professors I could have ever asked for. He makes each and every lecture fun to attend and made them something I genuinely looked forward to. I cannot recommend him enough.
Jeewon was an amazing prof. His lectures were clear and easy to follow and his explanations are superb. Truly a gem of a teacher. If you took calculus in highschool this course is a breeze.
He is an amazing prof and actually cares about his students. He made me hate math way less because he teaches it so well. I looked forward to his lectures each week, loved his class so much.
He is very good at explaining concepts, and he goes through examples in class that are actually very practical for his exams. He uses funny analogies to make things clear. He is quite helpful if you prepare your question and go to his office hours to get help. He gives hints, which is very nice. Never showed his face in lectures!!!!
tbh i would die for this man. I was really terrible at math in high school, hence why i took math 125, and jeewon fully restored my faith in my math skills. Do the assignments and notes and you'll be totally fine. All I did to study for the midterms and final was redo the assignments (never opened the textbook). 10/10 protect jeewon at all costs.
The best professor I've had so far. If you took calculus in high school this course won't be too difficult anyway, but Prof. Jeewon made it amazing. He's extremely caring and constantly checks to make sure you understand the material. He has a great teaching style where he uses things like hot tips to help you remember. Take his class!!!
Do yourself a favour and take math with Jeewon. Truly one of the best.
best prof i have had! 100% recommend jeewon
I'm not typically a huge calc fan, but Jeewon was so delightful that Math 100 was my favourite class. Absolutely hilarious, explained things very well, set clear work expectations, and deliberately built his lectures and practice problems around the class' needs. Plus, he always posted all the material right on time. Would HIGHLY recommend.
He was a great prof! His pre-recorded lectures were clear and concise with a lot of examples too, making it easy to follow along. The final was a little tough but not too bad.
Best prof I have ever had. very organized teaches everything clearly and answers all question. made me like math way more than i expected. Dr. yoo, you are the best ever!
Legend
He puts a lot of effort into his lectures and shows the base theory and how to apply your knowledge. Just amazing lectures and fun to learn. I would donate a kidney to this man.
Excellent Prof. He's hard working and it really shows that he cares about his students. Has an easy to follow teaching style, very responsive to student questions, and he presents material so that it's easy to uptake for beginners to complex subjects. 10/10
Professor Jeewon has easily been one of my favorite prof's this semester, he has office hours every week where he reviews the previous week which was very helpful. He also gave very fair exams with really good practice exams. Would recommend him to every student.
I've had him for a second time now, he is the best prof you can ask for. He clearly explains everything, anything he does is accessible anytime anywhere, the exams are very fair (if you do the practice exam you will for sure pass). He is a great example for a top-notch professor.
Jeewon is supportive and he's always eager to help. The problem is that he's making this subject seem hard when in reality, it isn't. I've consulted other resources and they explain the reasoning behind what we're learning, and don't just force-feed the theorems into our mouths without giving sufficient real-world examples.
Most helpful and motivated prof ever ��
Jeewon made great lecture videos to watch on our own time. He explains concepts very clearly and does his best to foster a fun learning experience. For Friday review sessions, he would go over how to solve all kinds of problems. He's also happy to help over email and during office hours. He really wants his students to succeed.
THE best math prof I've ever had. Consider yourself blessed if you're getting to learn from him!!!
Truly the greatest mathematics prof to exist.
The top review said I would donate a kidney to this man. I thought they were exaggerating, but clearly they were not- I too would donate a kidney. He is an absolutely amazing professor who makes the concepts so easy and simple that even the most math-phobic student would understand. Do the assignments and homework regularly and you'll be fine.
I loved him, he is the best
Best prof ever : His teaching style is amazing. Has comments on in his class and will make sure every single student understands a concept before moving on. Mwah. 10/10 so nice
Best teacher ever, had to take math 125 for some reason, pre calc, did all this in High school. However, the way he teaches makes everything so much easier. I actually understood unit circle a-lot better because of him. Teaching style is perfect he cares ab out his students 10/10 would rate wish he could be my math teacher for the rest of my years.
Amazing professor, hosted great office hours and really rewards students who reach out for help.
