I absolutely love the way he teaches. He is an interesting person. Kind of clumsy, but that's what keeps his class entertaining. He lets me eat muffins in class. He makes math a little bit more interesting. I sometimes get entertained learning about math in this class.

A clumsy, but good teacher who knows his stuff. He can keep his student entertained and attentive, although his teaching style is not that great you can still learn a lot from what he teaches. the homework and quizzes that he assign are strangely very difficult compare to his lecture, but besides that he was an awesome teacher

Great at explaining and uses funny examples. Homework is layed out in an organized schedule. Tests were not too bad quizzes very easy! Great math teacher!

I really enjoyed his class. He is a very good teacher and he tries really hard to help as much as he can. He let me reschedule an exam which was very helpful. He sends out a lot of emails and uses the student portal a lot. I would definitely take another class he teaches!

This is not an easy A. You have to work hard and not miss any days in order to make it through. Mr. Kwon was always helpful and willing to help you understand. His tests were ok. You had to study the practice sheets closely.

Very hard working teacher who cares about teaching well. A great choice

Clear directions. Helpful. Tests are hard but that's to be expected from a course such as this. Tries very hard to ensure that everyone understands the materials. I'd definitely recommend him or take another course with him.

This class is really well laid out and organized all the homework is laid out at the beginning of the semester and John is super funny! I loved this class and would recommend it to anyone. There are four tests and quizzes every week that are really helpful. He is clear what is going to be on the tests and very helpful.

Kwon is overall a good teacher. He is 100% consistent and prepared for everything! Tests (2part: no calculatorcalculator) can be unpredictable and on the difficult side... His class isn't exactly easy, but it's doable. Lectures aren't super interesting, but it is a math lecture. Don't miss too many classes. He will prepare you well so take him!

I took this class twice and it wasn't because he was a bad teacher. Unfortunately, I ended up missing class therefor lead to my horrible grade. The second time I took this class I ended with a B. Shows you that Mr. Kwon's teaching methods and lectures are not boring nor useless. If you pay attention and study, you'll pass this class.

He gives homework every week. there's four exams and a quiz here and there. he's funny and is pretty good at explaining things. I Would Recommend Him.

Excellent teacher, well prepared, very clear in explaining and will not give homework on assignment not covered in class. As long as you show up, take notes, study and do all homework you be just fine! He is responsive to emails, funny man, and takes his teaching and concerns for your success very serious.

his enthusiasm for math is wonderful!!! very clear lectures- uses different color pens (which is oh so helpful) and very well organized. He has good pacing and expects a lot from the students but is very helpful and wants everyone to succeed. Homework amount is fair, grading is fair, and tests are challenging but not vindictive.

Professor Kwon was a great educational resource for me. My Math was rusty from being out of school for years. He assigns regular homework and checksreturns it quickly, so you know exactly what you need to work on. His lectures are quite clear and he really breaks down the subject matter. The guy knows his math and he passes his knowledge on well.

I had a really good time this semester in Mr. Kwon's class and I would definitely take him again (I probably will end up taking him again). Mr. Kwon was offputting at first because of his seriousness, but he is extremely passionate about the material and it shows. Ask him questions, he will answer. Office, email, it's all there for you.

I had John Kwon for Math 1C and 2 and I thought he was a great teacher. He really enjoys and understands math and he tries to get his students to feel the same way. His tests aren't terribly hard and are similar to the homework, so if you do the homework you'll do fine.

Had him for the second half of my summer class. Really funny, very clear. Will explain things multiple times in different ways to make sure everyone understands. Does not allow use of calculator on all parts of his exams which means you need to really know the material. Would take another class with him.

Jon was a cute lil guy. Usually had a little joke in his math lectures. He lectures the whole class and if you ask questions he will explain it. Very clear on what he wants and most of the stuff he lectures is on the test or on in class assignments. Responds to emails quick. He takes roll the first couple of weeks then forgets by the end.

Really nice and friendly teacher!

Actually the best math teacher I have ever had. I took this class during the summer. Math 151 combines most of 150A and 150B and in this summer term we not only doubled up but we did it in only eight weeks. I am not a strong math student but Professor Kwon got through to me. He is absolutely hilarious (in a dry dead-pan sort of way.

I took John's math 151 over the summer. John was an awesome instructor. If you participate in class, do your homework and give it 100% you will be successful in his class. There was a lot of homework, but it was as summer course so that is to be expected. John really wants his students to be successful. I HIGHLY recommend taking his class!

Awesome instructor I highly recommend taking his courses!! I too him over summer with reluctance because it was going to be such a fast paced class, but he made it possible. He really knows what he is doing and he grades fair. Take him if you have the chance. I think his rating review should be closer to 5.

Best math teacher I have ever had. If you want to learn math take this guy. If you want an old school professor who is picky for all the wrong BS reasons take Martin. Martin gets all the ratings but it's just because he's easy. Kwon is hands down a better educator and the most conscientious and fair professor I have ever met.

John is an intense teacher to take, even in a full length semester. He doesn't really elaborate well when asked to clarify. If you are good at math, he's an amazing instructor. He's extremely clear on what he expects of you. Doesn't take late homework, has 4 exams, a few in class assignments and quizzes. Advance notice (1 week) for quizzes/exams.

John Kwon is a good teacher, he knows the material and explains it clearly. He is also very enthusiastic and energetic while teaching, and most of the time he is pretty funny.

Super awesome teacher. Quizzes and In Class Assignments are easy. Would recommend studying for Exams. Easy class and really good at explaining the problems. Would recommend him for math.

I took Kwon two semesters in a row and he is my favorite math teacher I've had. I've always thought I wasn't good at math but received A's in both of his classes, and actually felt like I understood the material. He tells you exactly what you need to do to succeed so just pay attention and you'll pass!!

He is an amazing teacher! He makes sure that you understand the material and even makes time for some jokes. He gives daily reviews at the beginning of class(really easy) and his exams are based on what you learned so don't worry too much. I would recommend him 110% he is great!

Great professor

Very good teacher! He uses his lecture time very well. He is super organized and precise. He cares about his students, but at the same time understands it is your grade and if you do not want to learn, that's your own choice. I would take him for every math class. His sense of humor is funny in an awkward way! Great guy!!

3rd time taking a class by John, he's great. Tells you exactly what you need to do in order to do well, and doesn't waste time. My only issue was the JC suggested he increase the difficulty to prep students for higher classes (no notecards). I took trig for trade school tho, so all the extra difficulty "gave me" was a strong aversion to trig.

Jon is very organized and straight forward with what will be graded, how many points it will be, and by what criteria. His lectures are very structured and he will expect you to know concepts from earlier classes. this is the closest to a "just apply yourself" class Ive every had.

Professor is really organized, respectful and has solid knowledge of class material. His lectures, homework, and quizes are all consistent with material on tests. His grading is as directed on syllabus so don't expect any make up assignments or him to listen to excuses. So, if you're looking for a knowledgeable and organized instructor, get him.

John Kwon is single-handedly the best math teacher I have had. I have always been someone who has struggled with math, and he is the most direct and clear teacher I have had. He is clear and concise about grading, has great lecture notes, and gives weekly homework that is not too much but is a good amount. I would highly recommend him for all.

He is the best and really funny. Homework is due every Monday but gives you a lot of time to do it. I had a four day a week class and it was good. He helps you if needed and grades easy. Overall he is the best math teacher.

John is clear in his lectures, but this is still it difficult class. He puts notes online which helps. If you really struggle with math, I would recommend looking for a different teacher. Kind and funny guy though.

I hadn't taken a math class in two years, and it's an Easy A! He gives you 4 exams and then a final, practice problems for extra credit before hand, and you take some in class quizzes with your friends. Very Note heavy and friendly, posts all notes online so easy to access if you're absent. Is very funny and caring, gave out chocolate for the final

Should have a higher rating. Extremely organized and clear notes/lectures though the two semesters Ive taken him make him by far a better choice than others. Allows 1 side of index card for 3 exams. 1 side of page for final. Pleasant, humorous, and focused. Very fair and makes appropriate adjustments to timelines, etc. for student benefit. My fav!

John truly deserves a higher rating! I'm so bad at math that it's sad. John makes learning the material super easy. He makes his lectures accessible online which helps a lot when studying for exams, as well as his study guides. He wants you to pass and makes that clear; very helpful, very sweet man. Shoutout to Kwon for caring about his students!!

Grade is based on weekly homework (2-3 Hours), weekly Quizz/In class Group Work, 3 exams, and the final. No surprises on the tests as he does examples of everything in his lectures. Lectures may be somewhat boring, but if you pay attention, actually do the homework (not copy off Slader) there's no reason not to get the grade you deserve.

The class I was in met from Mon-Thu so HW was only due on Mondays 4 Exams along with extra credit 4 quizzes NOT a tough grader In one case most of the class failed an exam so he created a re-do exam assignment where you take the exam home, fix some problem and turn it in to get a better grade Great lectures I never looked at the book, only for HW

Lectures may be long and classes may be fast paced, but if you can keep up with the homework and notes, you'll find that the tests are a breeze. What I like the most about this instructor is that he is clear about what he expects unlike other professors that surprise you on exams and other assessments. Would take for any high level math class.

Fast, informative lectures. Never have to read out of book, always willing to answer questions during class/office hour/email. Posts notes on Canvas so not the end of the world if you miss class. Very organized and clear, prepares well for tests. If you pay attention, do the work, and study you'll get an A

I have taken Prof. Kwon before and it was exactly as I had expected. He clearly goes through the material and tries to make sure everyone is sure of what is expected of them and what is due when. Post pandemic he did YouTube lectures and posted his lecture notes online for us to access.

Had him for 1C as well and I have to say that he really cares about his students. The tests are fair in person but online, they were really hard (thankfully, he curved). Lectures in person were amazing but online they were a drag. But, he is a good teacher and wants you to succeed. Def. one of my favorite math professors at the JC!

I had him online during Covid 19 and honestly I had an amazing experience. He is very meticulous and thorough in his lectures so if you are bad at calc don't worry. He will explain everything. Also, since his class was in video format, you can just use the 2x speed setting to speed up any slow bits in the lectures. Tests are fair.

A great professor that really cares about his students, heavy on the homework and weekly problem sets but I just view it as good practice. Has adapted very well to the new COVID-era of strictly online learning. Nothing on the exams that he hasn't covered prior in class, and the weekly problem sets the final problem can be difficult but grades fair.

Math has always felt like memorizing and using a bunch of formulas that some smart people made, but Pf Kwon explains the concepts so that you can actually understand how people came up with the formulas and it just seems intuitive. That made it way easier for me to remember them & even if I forgot a formula I could recreate it b/c I understood it

Really enjoyed this class. The lectures are thorough and explain the material well. I would highly recommend this teacher.

Professor Kwon is an awesome guy. He is super passionate about math and has high energy during his lectures. He gives "In-Class Assignments" which were essentially quizzes that you work on with the entire class. His tests are tough, but I think he prepares you sufficiently for them.

Professor Kwon is a pretty cool dude, and you can tell he is very passionate about math. The class itself was pretty easy in my opinion. There can be quite a bit of hw at times, but the assignments do a great job at preparing you for tests/quizzes. As long as you take decent notes and stay on top of the hw, Kwon seems like an easy A.

John Kwon is one of the best at SRJC and truly cares about his students and is always accessible during office hours. He however expects his student to put in effort into his classes and his weekly problem sets while challenging aren't graded harshly. His class built the foundation for me to succeed in future math classes.

He gives super good lectures and often provides proofs which is very nice. Clear grading and tests.

Honestly, he made calculus easier to understand. Yes, he gives lots of homework, but it helped me practice and understand the material. I took him during the summer which made things more fast paced, but it was more than worth it. He also does give extra credit opportunities throughout the class. I recommend taking him!

Like any math class there's going to be lots of homework, but his explanations for the subjects he's teaching is amazing! He has a very passionate but also awkward personality and his jokes always make the class better. Just make sure to keep on top of your homework, quizzes and studying for exams and you'll do fine!!

THE GOAT. He's super funny. (often unintentionally) He's super smart, and he's constantly self-deprecating. He made me fall back in love with math. Go in there with a tenacity to learn and you'll do just fine. My one gripe is his grading is not automated so you have to calculate it by hand, which is fairly straightforward, but still a pain,

Really good experience with Kwon's precalculus class! Now keep in mind that any math class is going to have lots of homework to do but he was able to keep everything really well organized and always reminded you when homework was due. He has a very nice way of taking notes and if you put in the work and pat attention in class you'll be good!

I had Kwon for MATH 27 and MATH 5. He is the best SRJC mathematics professor. Kwon's lectures are straightforward and cover a lot of material. You can clearly see that he is passionate about math which is one thing I loved about his classes. His tests are very fair and he cares about his student's success. Take him if you can!!

Kwon's tests were hard, but there was ample opportunity to gain points in homework and extra credit assignments. Kwon provided good lectures and was helpful outside of class.

I think Kwon is a great guy, very funny, and I enjoyed working with him. However, tests were very hard, even if you are well-prepared. Lectures are very fast, but he posts all of his notes and they are great, so I would recommend not taking your own notes. If you need a lot of extra help understanding material, I would take a different prof.

Amazing class.I heard all sorts of stories about this class, especially difficult exams. Well that's just not true, he makes it very clear what is to be on them and he does not try to trick you. He is especially caring and professional in his teaching, he wants you to succeed and will help you every step of the way. One of the best professors here.

John is a great professor; he genuinely cares for his students' success in his class. He offers many opportunities for extra credit and making up homework. Tests are challenging but not impossible if you know the material. One con about John is that he doesn't use the grade feature on Canvas, so you can't see your current grade.

Professor Kwon's class is challenging, but engaging if you put in the work. The lectures can be fast-paced, but he provides good explanations. Using Unstuck ai and the textbook are key to success.

He's not a bad professor but more just old school. Everything is written on paper including hw, but if anything it helps you learn. He also does offer extra credit throughout the semester. As long as you stay on top of ur work you will be able to pass. He's strict, but supportive if you meet him halfway.

math27 with kwon was a blast. For me I was worn out much of the semester due to personal reasons and so 3pm 3 hour math class was often my bane. Still, precalculus algebra and trigonometry lectures truly inspired me to learn math. Kwon teaches a fun class and I often found myself laughing at his dry comic style.

John is an amazing professor that truly cares about the material and making sure his students understand it. He does assign quite a bit of homework, however for math courses at this level, it is required to ensure proper understanding of the material. His tests can be relatively difficult, however there are never any surprises on it.

Took prof Kwon for stats. His lectures were straightforward, he was accessible during office hours and was helpful when I had questions. The homework assignments online and the take home assignments really helped prepare for his tests. Make sure you allow yourself time to study to do well on this class! If you do so, you'll be just fine.

Best math professor I've had, but by far the most difficult. All class content is paper-based, no Canvas. Lectures are rigorous and clear with few mistakes. However, homework is heavy and tests are very hard. If you are a math major, I recommend Kwon, as he will give you a solid foundation. But if your semester is crammed, take someone else.
