He's cool. Very funny. Interesting stories.
Very interesting and informative. Thoroughly enjoyed the class- eye opening.
Awesome teacher!! I never dreaded going to his class. Very easy to understand and as long as you go to class you'll be fine on his tests.
Choi is the greatest teacher ever! Having him for this class made it a lot better and much more interesting that it ever would be in normal circumstances. Very helpful for life, no matter what you want to talk about.
One of the most awesome teachers on earth! A genius and very clear. Helpful at all times. This was one of the most eye opening classes I've ever taken. I highly recommend this class. Changes the way one looks at the world.
Great teacher. He really cares about students and enjoys teaching. Discusses interesting topics and offers different viewpoints on subjects. He is extremly helpful and is willing to do anything to help students out.
Awsome professor, great guy, makes class interesting! Take him for anything available to you; great discussions! Go Dodgers
Illest teacher ever! Incredibly intelligent, despite calling a lot of minor details "those thingies". Knows a lot of sociology with an emphasis in critical theorists. Gives the simplest, most thought provoking, assignments ever! All work is acceptable as long as it answers his questions in whatever creative, non-conventional way thought of.
Great teacher. Interesting lectures that make the class go by fast, good readings. Willing to help and makes the class interesting.
Best teacher I have ever had at SDSU. Makes you want to learn, gets you passionate, and keeps your interest the whole class. He is so smart, understanding, allows you to be creative, different style of teaching, no tests! Take one of his classes, you won't regret it!!
Best teacher you will ever take, is very smart and teaches to your level, very helpful, allows you to be creative, readings are very thought provoking, changes the way you will think forever.
Best Best Best yet at SDSU, he will awaken the most amazing ideas and theories in your brain and make you feel the ultimate empowerment within! He should be a required professor at SDSU for every student to experience-Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy
BEST TEACHER @ STATE BY FAR. DR. CHOI IS BRILLIANT! I'VE NEVER MET A PROFESSOR SO SMART! HE HAS OPENED UP MY MIND TO SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS! HE HAS SO MUCH ENERGY TOO!!!! YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS CLASS...IT'S SO INTERESTING! HE ONLY HAS MIDTERM/FINAL AND TELLS YOU WHAT'S GOING TO BE ON BOTH! DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE HIM! HE'S THE BEST!!!
So funny and passionate. He might be alittle intimidating and unorganized to some in the beginning, but don't worry, he is a great teacher. Wacky and fun lectures. Very understanding and open-minded...helps prepare for exams and if you don't do as well as you'd hoped, you can always talk to him. TAKE HIM.
AMAZING TEACHER! if you have an opportunity to take choi do it! he has amazing discussions about important issues and lets everyone participate. he is so incredibly intelligent and opens your mind to so many things. you will want to go to class. it is interesting and is based on 2tests which are short essay questions. class was enjoyable and easy
Excellent teacher. Very interesting and very passionate. Makes class fun!! Test and reading not too bad and is very easy to understand material. Highly recommend. Took him my last year and I regret not being able to take other classes. You will enjoy and do well in his class
He is the best teacher i have had so far! great guy and the class is never boring! there is barely any outside work we need to do and our grade is based on 2 tests but he is an easy and fair grader . good class i would definately recomment him!
Really awesome, I've never had such an enthusiastic teacher that actually made me want to learn like this guy. Take any of his classes!
The best professor @ SDSU, by a wide margin. Ask anyone who has taken him; he is clear, funny,and interesting. Class flows incredibly and time just flies bye. Believe me this may be a once in a lifetime experience.
Socialist? No one told me he was a pinko commi!!! Just kidding Dr. Che. His courses will add value to your college degree.
This man may be the greatest professor of all time. I actually think that he may be the smartest man on the earth, but he would argue that "smart" is relative and not reality. I loved the class because I learned and had a chance to express my thoughts and feelings. Greatest college experience of my life.
irreverent, pragmatic, empowering, compassionate, sharp man that helps you to put a big world into perspective, I learned alot, read all the material, and worked hard
he is outstanding. everything we talked about was like a revelation, haha. he really opens your eyes to the atrocities of our world and the consequences of the decisions made by the people at the 'top'. scary stuff but important to be aware of. oh yeah and he's just plain awesome to listen to (his rants are hilarious)
Best teacher at state. he is very enthusiastic, keeps course content and class discussions interesting, a real eye-opening course, he tells great stories. if you get the chance to take one of his classes you will not regret it. attendance not mandatory but you will want to go to class. I wish all my other teachers taught like him.
Choi is one of the best teachers @ at state. He's very enthusiastic about teaching, and opens your eyes up to some corrupt stuff going down in the government & society. He tends yo yell a lot and go into verbal tirades, but i thought they were hilarious and also educational. No Seriously!! Not a lot of homework, and his test's are relatively easy.
Professor Choi (Pronounced Cheh) loves teaching. However, he gives the majority of his office hours to his grad students who are working on thesis', which sucked for me because i was lost in theory...other than that, easy A if you read and understand the "2 Question" midterm and exam ;) Thanks Choi!
Amazing professor. He was very inspirational. I felt as though I actually learned more in this class in one semester than I have the past three years at San Diego State. Definitely take this professor!!
This is the only teacher at SDSU that understands the world.
Great teacher!!! Great class!! But this class isn't for anyone who is just looking for an easy A and laid back class. He makes you work for your grade, but in the end you come out with so much more than a letter.
OMG! Professor Choi is the BEST!! He really changed the way I view the world. I feel like he turned me into a better person and a more critical thinker. Not a lot of work because he really wants you to learn!! We only had a midterm and a final. I love him so much I'm taking Soc352 with him this summer!!
Professor Choi was one of the few inspiring professors out there. He actually wants to teach. I wouldn't call him easy, he expects you to use your brain. But it's not hard either. There is two test. 3 novels you'll need to read and random selection from a text book to read.
Awesome Prof!!! Enjoyed his class a lot. Really makes you think about everything, even yourself! Three midterms all essay and short answer, but with this guy, you're bound to pass. He's the best at SDSU.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME PROFESSOR!! He makes Sociology fun and interesting. Best professor at SDSU. Did not give homework just reading assignments. Only had 3 exams with 3 essays each& he always gave us the essay questions. Breakout section is a big part of your grade, so get along with your TA. Other than that totally I recommend this class! :)
OUTSTANDING! One of the best prof. at State. HE was clear, consice,funny,and smart. Highly recommended! Three exmas, all essays and short answers. Don't worry though cuz this guy makes it super easy, he tells you what you expect on the exam. He doesnt grade the exams though so get along with your TA.
SUCH A GOOD TEACHER!!! He is funny and keeps your attention the whole time. He is teaching common sense stuff but makes in interesting. TAKE THIS CLASS FOR AN EASY A!!!
AMAZING professor!!! He really makes you realize so many things! His lectures truly moved me! He is also very funny. The 50 mins. of class went by so quick because everything he says is so so interesting! I truly recommend him. Don't just take him for an easy A but for what he will enlighten you with. It's so much! Professor Choi is the BEST!
Awesome professor! He's so funny and makes the class very interesting. Everything he says is enlightening because it makes you think about what exactly is going on with our society. His examples help you understand better the material. I totally recommend this class! Its worth it!
SOC 101. Inspiring, fun & intelligent! I had to wake up @ 5am to go to his class, and they were fun and totally woke me up!! FUNNY GUY! you NEED to pay attention b/c he tells u the midterm(s) and final Q's! A GREAT CLASS! got an A pretty easily :)
AMAZZING TEACHER!! love him so much, Very intelligent man, I would just take the class to hear his insights on the world
Awesome professor! So funny and interesting.
Everyone should listen to his lectures. This guy knows what he's talking about and has the ability to inspire EVERY SINGLE LECTURE. I felt good after going to class. Its a pretty easy course, extremely interesting and there's little reading. Sadly, I missed several lectures and got a B in the class, but it really got me thinking.
Very funny, very inspiring man. Has you learn and realize things you would never see on your own. Take his class, pay attention, and you're life will seriously be changed.
This class changed my life. Funny and really smart professor, he says "no really" a lot but hes pretty chill.
AWESOME CLASS VERY COOL NICE PROFESSOR... HE TRIES HIS BEST TO INTERACT WITH ALL 500 STUDENTS. I WOULD TELL YOU TO TAKE SOC 101 WITH THIS PROFESSOR
THE BEST PROFESSOR YOU WILL EVERY HAVE. He's extremely positive, chill, relaxed and funny. You will want to come to class every day because he's inspiring and hilarious. One of SDSU's best. Only read 4 chapters out of the whole book, 1 long & 2 short essays from lecture for exams. Just go to class & listen, the answers will just come out naturally.
Such a good professor! Makes you want to come to class! An easy class that won't take up any of your free time. As long as you pay some attention in lecture, you will get a good grade!
Dr. Choi is super entertaining. Its like a 500 student class thats a talk show. Its impossible to not pay attention in his class because hes so freaking entertaining. I opened the book a couple times and got an A. The tests are all based on what he talked about in the lectures. I strongly recommend taking this professor. Best class ever!
Best Professor Ever! Funny, smart,nice and pretty liberal. You do have to go to class to do well but he makes class so entertaining its worth it. The book is pretty helpful and the material is easy to follow and understand. Take this class!!! It will change your life and make you excited to learn!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. I don't usually do ratings on here unless I feel like the teacher was absolutely horrible or just plain awesome. Choi is just plain awesome! Life changing experience. Took his class over the summer and made it to almost every class! You must pay attention, take good notes, and read the book. Trust me, TAKE HIM!!!
This teacher is one of my favorite teachers at state! He not only is an easy teacher and clear when teaching the material, but he is inspiring and makes us want to change the world. There are around 3 tests and they are are written, but he tells you the questions ahead of time. It is an easy A. He wants his students to succeed. LOVE HIM!
Well I really liked this class :) Also the small lecture :) In my opinion both professor and TA were helpful :) Thanks Dr. Choi and Chris Vito :]
Guaranteed one of the best professors at State teaching one of the best classes at State. I attended every class because he was so damn captivating, hilarious, and passionate about his subject. He makes you want to change the world. The information taught can be absorbed without almost any effort. I recommend.
Choi is amazing, by far my favorite teacher at State. Take this class! I left every lecture and section wanting to make a difference in our world. He is hilarious and really cares about his students, even in a 500 person lecture. There isn't too much reading and tests are simple,just go to the reviews. Attendance isn't necessary, but is helpful!
Really good teacher, he understands that we dont really need to learn that much about a class that is a GE... He really wants everyone to do good and even gave us huge hints for the midterm and people acutally had the audacity to cheat wtf and he lectured us the next time we had class on how disappointed he was. easy class take it!!
i wanted to go to class, & always payed attention to him. funny and knows a lot about sociology, eye opening. take him!
Choi will change your life! while attendance isn't mandatory he makes you want to go. the homework is hardly ever and its fun to do. when he tells you not to worry at all about your grade listen cause he means it, its an easy eye opening class that i 100% reccomend
Super easy class and actually kind of interesting when I thought I had no interest at all. He's really energetic so even if your bored it's still fun to go. Highly recommended!
My favorite class at SDSU! His lectures are very interesting and i never knew Sociology could be fun. A midterm, final, and breakout session make up your grade. Very easy A if you go to lecture, which is something you wont want to miss anyway :) Would definitely recommend!
I love this class! He is the greatest professor and very interesting. I would recommend this class to everyone!! Make sure to follow along and keep track of the discussion and you will get an A.
I loved this class, it was literally the reason why I woke up in the morning! Choi is an amazing professor, who does nothing less than inspire you every class, as well as get a few laughs. I didn't open my book and just took notes in class, and I got 100% on my midterm and expect a high grade on my final. If you can get him, TAKE HIM!
Highly recommend this professor, looked forward to every lecture. Never worried about exams because he explained the material in great depth.
Choi (Pronounced Che)was an amazing professor, and his choice of small lecture TA's was awesome. He is SO intelligent and VERY interested in the subject matter. Accessability was also great. He is inspirational, hard-working, and made you laugh every lecture. A 9:00 class is difficult to wake up for, but Choi made it easier. PLEASE choose him!!!
take him! class is easy and only 50 minutes. hes very very interesting and super funny!
Dr. Choi was an awesome professor for SOC101! I can't believe he won't be teaching it next sem. :( And I had the best TA ever Ms. Jessica White. :) I just hope I have more awesome teachers at State like Dr. Choi and Ms. White because they weren't like others where they make you memorize soo much! It's stuff you know in the world already and even though they want you to know vocab, how certain things link, and people in history, they simplify perfectly so you have a grasp on the information. :)
Great professor! Very interesting class, you will almost never be bored! He's also very funny, but honest/realistic at the same time! Easy A if you just read the 2 books, very easy readings & attend discussion.
Great class!! highly recommend it. Choi is hysterical and keeps you entertained and engaged attendance is not mandatory but i feel that a lot of students went just because the class is entertaining
You have to take GEs so you might as well take good ones. Earily one of the most enthusiastic professors at SDSU. He tries hard to incorporate other people in the lecture and the TA's are wonderful. I had Stephanie Laufenberg as my TA. She did a wonderful job.
Dr Choi is hilarious! The whole class is just a lecture on examples, ideas, and history of sociology. Totally interesting and I definately recommend taking this class! Only a midterm and final. Go to small section!
Dr Choi is by far the best prof at SDSU! He is passionate and hilarious. His lectures are more like comedy shows you take notes at. His class really makes you think and opens your eyes to the realities of our society. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
This class is super awesome and totally worth it during summer session. We had two assignments and you can make them up so it's not that hard. I did two poetry pieces and got a excellent grade. HIGHLY SUGGEST TAKING THIS CLASS!
One of the best and most inspirational teachers I've had in my college career. He yells a lot, but in a good way...except for when he spits. If you are a SOC major, definitely take him. If not, then definitely take him. All you have to do is listen with an open mind.
The EPITOME of a TRUE educator. Complaints, if any, are made on the contents of the course NOT the instructor.
He was one of the best teachers at sdsu ! he is very funny and helpful. everything he went over in lecture was what was one the exams.
Take his class if you want to learn and get entertainment.
He gets really passionate during the lectures that are twice a week but the breakout sections that were with smaller groups and the T.A's really helped. He can rub you the wrong way because he has really strong opinions and everyone else is wrong.
Amazing. Just take him. You won't regret it.
TAKE THIS CLASS! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! You learn so much and its such an easy class to get an "A" in!! One of the best professors on campus!!
MY Favorite Professor AT SDSU! HE IS PASSIONATE AND THE CLASS IS AMAZING! TAKE THE CLASS!
Great teacher, and I loved the class. Pay attention to his examples and you can totally ace the class. Also, depending on who your small section teacher is will determine how easy the class will be for you. However, the class itself is PRETTY easy. Read the Blackboard documents + go to class and pay attention = A
AMAZING TEACHER ! must take this class although it is a easy a if you attend all lectures really you leave that so enlightened and learn so much from him . he really keeps you entertained and teaches you a lot about the world around you . Highly recommended
Easiest class ever! I really don't think we learned all that much though, lectures were more like Choi preaching at us about his socialist(ish) views. I got really tired of hearing so much about the occupy movement. But I guess I can't complain... we all got A's for basically just doing nothing, and just writing what our TA's wanted on the exams.
Love love love love love him. Cannot express this enough. He is amazing. Lectures are mandatory because the midterm and final questions come directly from them. But don't worry, he makes the lectures interesting and hilarious. If you get Shey as the TA, this will probably be the best and easiest class at State.
Great professor. He repeats himself a lot but it reinforces the main concepts. Tests are easy. Easy A class.
A MUST take class! Really interesting and he is very passionate for what he does. Will definitely enjoy it and learn a lot :)
My favorite class, he is so inspirational and passionate about what he's teaching
You must take SOC 101 with him! It wasn't just a class and a grade; it was a life-changing experience. Every lecture, I was touched emotionally by the issues discussed. He is passionate about his work, and he cares about getting to know his students. Although attendance is not mandatory, I strongly recommend going every day.
Incredible class and TAs. Very passionate, inspiring and even life changing. His lectures are great, he's funny and makes everything interesting and relative. The small sections were fun and incredible as well (I had Alexa Megna, she was AWESOME). I highly recommend this class!
Choi is a boss and his class was really interesting and hands down my favorite class. I enjoyed his lectures and it was basically an easy A. The man knows how to teach. Also my TA was Tim Bolin and he was really chill
super easy, he gives you the answers to the midterm during review..he sometimes is hard to understand but the TA reiews indepth..hard to fail its super easy
Choi is the BEST! Only class I've ever taken where 90% of students actually attend lecture and LIKED it. He is super passionate, his lectures are always interesting & you will always come out of there w/ new knowledge or a way of thinking. TA's are awesome. They prepare you well for midterm and final (both done w/ blue books). Easy A. Recommend!
Dr. Choi is the funniest and most enthusiastic professor I have had here at State! His class is super easy and it is very interesting. If you want to take a course that counts for GE credit, is super easy, fun, AND life changing, then I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Choi's class. There is one midterm and a final (both bluebooks). Take this class. :)
Choi is very passionate about what he teaches. He is a captivating and hilarious lecturer. Attendance isn't mandatory to learn, although he goes over everything on the tests. Grading is done by the GTA's and is really simple. Just 2 tests, a couple open ended projects and that's it. Even he says it is hard not to do well in his class.
Choi is awesome! He's very passionate so it keeps the class super interesting. Go to lecture and pay attention and you'll get an A for sure. Most interesting class i've taken at State so far.
Very passionate about his subject. He really stresses to make you understand that society isn't as black and white as everyone makes it out to be. Very easy professor and very approachable. Learned lot because of him.
Easy class if you want an A just listen to his lecture. He is hillarious, smart, and really gets you to think about real life. This class challenges the social norm so take it if you want to sit through an extremely entertaining class. Don't need textbook.
AMAZING professor! Please take this class, attend all lectures, and listen up. He's extremely passionate about what he does and he opened my mind a lot through the topics he discussed. I actually looked forward to the lectures, which made my semester so much more enjoyable. Take notes, pay attention, and you'll definitely get an A.
Extremely easy A, just go to lectures and small sections will help review. Literally got a 100 on my final. Lectures are interesting and fun to go to, he is amazingly passionate about this class. Loved it.
AMAZING CLASS! Take this class, you will not regret it. He is the reason why I decided to change my major to Social work.
This teacher is so passionate about sociology. The class I took was a m/w/f and I went to the m/w sessions probably 50% of the time and ended up with an A. The Friday sessions were the ones I always went to because the class of 500 got broken into a lot of smaller 20 student sessions. He is so nice and funny.. TAKE HIS CLASS!
THE BEST! Take HIM!
this guy is amazing. one of the best teachers at state. changed my perspective on things and almost makes me wanna change my major. LOVE HIM. everyone needs to take this class and get educated!!!! best class ever
Choi's lectures seriously made my week. He's very interested in what he talks about and engages the class well. Very funny. Class is easy if you do your readings, which aren't that bad. Your grade is 70% midterm/final and 30% breakout session so make sure to go to your class. I think EVERYONE should take this course before graduating.
Of course everyone loves to rate Choi lol. Professor Choi is one of the most passionate profs I've ever met & the fact that he commutes from LA for class makes him that much more awesome in my book. His lectures are comprehensive and humorous, yep! And his exams are easy. Good for an easy A & a perspective change!
VERYPASSIONATE. VERY FUNNY. The best professor EVER! Very intersting class. You WILL not regret taking it.plus it is an easy A :)
choi is such an inspiring professor. he changed my perspective in many different ways. plus, it's an easy A. my ta was stacey, she is super cool! choi inspired me to write a poem, this is one of my verses "Society has become a place of inequality, Your importance in life seems to be the income of your family." TAKE HIM! (:
Dr. Choi is the man. He is extremely passionate, very understanding, always approachable and the most entertaining professor you will ever have hands down. Choi is the best professor at San Diego State without a doubt.
Professor Choi was hands down one of my favorite teachers this semester. He really opened my eyes to see things from a completely different perspective. Definitely worth taking! He is AMAZING! Also, my TA Ly was great and made sure that we knew what we were talking about.
AWESOME TEACHER!!!!! MAKES SOC SO FUN AND INTERESTING!!! HE'S ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I EVER HAD!!!! HE'S SO PASSIONATE AND CREATES A FAMILY LIKE ATMOSPHERE!!! I RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYONE! TAKE HIS CLASS!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT ONE BIT!!
He is hilarious. Likes to yell so much that the mic breaks... headache sometimes. I didnt really like the subject, i got really pissed off a lot. But Choi definitely made it fun.
HE IS AMAZING! Definitely the best teacher I've had at State. He is so passionate and makes the class so interesting. He's really funny and the class isn't hard at all. I'd recommend him to anyone! TAKE THIS CLASS!
Awesome teacher! He's super passionate about the subject and is incredibly funny. I always looked forward to his lectures. The midterm and final is really easy too. Just do the readings and you'll ace the class! Take the class, it's super interesting and you'll learn a lot!
Didn't read the book, got an A no problem. Make sure you go to most of the lectures and write down what is on the board because that is what you'll be tested on. Super easy class, highly recommended.
Professor Choi is by far one of my favorite teachers at SDSU! He is extremely passionate about the subject and makes lectures interesting. There's a midterm and a final that are written but they are super easy. Do the readings! It's easy to get an A in his class.
Choi is incredibly passionate about what he lectures on, thus being pretty engaging. I would HIGHLY recommend this class; it will make you so enraged yet so inspired all at once. Attendance isn't technically mandatory, but you need to attend most lectures to do well on tests. I never used the book and still got an A in the class. Just take it.
Choi is the best teacher I've ever had! You should attend lectures to get good grades on the midterm and final, but they are really interesting. Go in with an open mind. He has an extreme view, but he has some really good points. He and the TAs are all extremely nice! Take this class!
Best class I ever took at SDSU. Large lecture so going to his class isn't mandatory but his lectures were so interesting. Had to minor in soc because of this guy. great teacher.
Quite possibly the easiest class I've taken at state so far. Choi was awesome, engaging, funny, and knows his stuff. I read maybe three pages of the book and ended up with an A. Just go to class and it's pretty much impossible not to pass.
Best professor I've had at sdsu. Highly recommend for an easy and interesting GE
Best class I've taken so far. He's a great professor and he'll change the way you see our society.
Professor Choi is truly passionate on what he teaches, overall a great professor. It is too bad he said he won't be teaching Soc 101 no more, but who knows, he will probably end up teaching it again one day.
Best professor at SDSU. Everyone needs to take this class with Professor Choi. He is so passionate about sociology and commutes from LA every day. He is hysterical and makes class so fun and entertaining! The only class I actually looked forwarded to and did not want to miss!
Barely attended class just went to small section. Midterm and Final were very easy as long as you go over the material he asks you to read and go to small section.
I loved having Dr. Choi. I added a sociology minor when I first saw him present when I was a freshman and I'm so glad. This class makes you think and is extremely interesting. I definitely recommend this class and professor.
One of the best professors on campus! Really entertaining & engaging class. Highly recommend taking this class. Took him in the summer. 2 exams determine your grade. Just go listen to lectures & read the light reading he gives you. Absolutely loved the class!
Best professor I have ever had. Everybody should take this class, it changed the way I view the world and gave me strength to fight against injustices. He is very funny, nice and passionate about what teaches. The class is not hard, its easy to pay attention because he is very entertaining.
amazing professor & his lectures really get your attention! write whatever is written on the board & he tends to repeat stuff in his lecture so make sure you right it down. his midterm & final are essay handwritten questions in a bluebook, go to small section!
WOW. Best professor I have ever had. So inspiring. He can change your life. Take him.
You can tell he really is passionate about Sociology and wants his students to be thinking about the issues of today. Seems to be a nice dude, I just didn't agree with everything he said. There are two tests, both are essays. I did surprisingly really well in the class. Just take really good notes. There's not much reading involved, which I liked.
Class was called social contemporary problems. He taught us socialism and how capitalism is the root of all of our problems. He is very passionate about persuading his students.
BEST Professor at SDSU great teaching style extremely clear & organized. He gets right to the point & does it in such way that info sticks in your head. I wish there were many more Professors like him. Forgot to mentioned his is Super Funny. I learned so much & also had so much fun..I strongly recommend taking his class. You will enjoy it.. ;)
I took Dr. Choi because he was so highly recommended but i ended up not really enjoying the class. He showed up late often and seemed unprepared and disorganized and just sorta rambled the whole class period. Readings weren't particularly interesting either. 2 tests, both essay format, and a 7-15 page essay due on the day of the final.
How can you not love Professor Choi! He is hands down the most enthusiastic and passionate sociology professor at SDSU! He really does care about how well his students do and cares a lot about what he teaches! Two written exams which you will do well on if you go to class! Don't leave SDSU without taking at least one of his classes!!
Dr. Choi was the most influential and inspiring professor I've ever had. Please take this class, it'll change your worldview entirely. The classes are always very captivating, and you can learn more in a single class than in whole other courses. This is what education is supposed to be -waking up people's minds, and learning useful things.
Dr. Choi Is the best teacher I ever had in my life. I feel like I owe him my life he really changed my life. After taking his class I started reading so much more, and I really like for the first time I am free from the mental prison I was living in. He taught me Tu eres me otro yo!!!!! If we all think like this the world will be a better place.
He is the best sociology professor. He makes sure you understand the material and makes it as interesting as possible!!... he doesn't make you buy any books. Midterm and final are essays. Pay attention in class do the reading and you will be all set to go. Must take him you won't regret it!.
The most amazing teacher I've ever had in my entire life. Not exaggerating. He will change the way you think about EVERYTHING. Passionate, funny as hell, and helpful. I loved having discussions in class. He's not afraid to get off topic. I'm taking summer session just to get in one of his classes again. You do have to do the reading though!
Possibly the best professor at SDSU! Professor Choi is incredibly inspiring, knowledgeable and passionate. I took him for 101 loved his class so much I declared a Soc minor and took him for 403. Classes are NOT difficult and are incredibly interesting and inspiring! I truly wish his classes were mandatory for all students. A wonderful experience!
He is by far the best professor I have ever had! He is passionate and highly intelligent. He cares about his students. I think everyone should have the opportunity to take his class!
By far the worst professor I've ever had. He doesn't actually contribute to the class. He rants about our poor education system and capitalism. I am amazed at the number of students that actually believe what he is saying. cannot wait to get out of this class. If you consider yourself a capitalist or know simple economics, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.
Prof Choi was great! His lectures were empowering and interesting, however if you are the type of person that is used to lectures on a powerpoint, this is not the class for you. His lectures are based off a topic and he just talks about, so attendance is mandatory if u want 2 pass exam! WARNING, don't get TA Lisa Riccardi here pop quizzes are hard!
Dr. Choi is one of my favorite professors at SDSU. I've become more of a critical thinker now. You can tell how much he cares about his students and society in general. He didn't require anyone to purchase textbooks for the class, he provided the readings for free. Class was very interesting, fun, exciting, and hilarious!
Best professor I've ever had. Really cares about the students and the education we receive. His lectures are really interesting and he puts a lot of passion into them. The class really isn't that difficult and it's all about the big concepts, not memorizing a bunch of little facts. DEFINITELY TAKE HIM!
Choi is hilarious and is incredibly passionate about what he teaches. The class is super easy and most of the time, lectures are really interesting. He tends to focus a lot on certain topics and goes off on rants but I would definitely recommend him if you're looking for a fun and easy GE class
cool dude but hard
This professor was by far the best professor I have EVER had at SDSU. He is intelligent, dedicated, and overall AMAZING. If you ever have the chance to take his class do it! There is no way you will regret it! His class is not difficult just show up and listen! If you pay attention the class is easy but most of all fun and inspirational. No book.
By far the best professor I have ever had in all of my years in school. What sets him apart from other professors is that he actually cares for his students. He doesn't care about tests, grades, or anything. Choi will change your perspective on the society and to start taking action in this country. Take this class, highly recommended!
Professor Choi was by far the best professor I have had here at SDSU. He is so passionate and really cares about the students. He keeps the lectures interesting and makes its humorous as well. He really goes over the subject matter well and it helps to have breakout sections to clarify some points you don't understand. Highly recommend.
Jung freaking Choi. The most passionate and intelligent professor at SDSU. Knows his stuff. Take this class, it will change your life and outlook on society. They all grade super easy because grades in their eyes are stupid, it's about education, not faking it until you make it.
I attended one of his lectures on a whim. Best decision I ever made and I immediately crashed the class. He is one of those profs that maintained 95% attendance every lecture and it was all because he kept us inspired and willing to learn. I learned so much this semester and he inevitably changed my life.
Professor Choi hands down is the best at teaching. He does not only teach but he inspires his students, he cares for there education! Lectures are amazing and tests are written, so chances that you'll fail is a minimum.
He is hands down one of the best professors that i have ever taken at state. . I am so happy i took his class. He is so passionate about his students and education. His lectures are interesting but theyre a little hard to pin down sometimes because he rambles. But overall the class was easy. More concept based. Take him for Soc 101. You wont regret
Choi is honestly one of the best professors I've had so far. He's hilarious, and passionate about teaching. I actually would look forward to his lectures. I strongly recommend taking him for SOC 101.
Choi is the best. Amazing lectures! I learned so much from him; things that are important to our day to day basis. Such a great teacher, no homework, just reading, 4 quizzes, 2 midterms and then a final. Be aware that there isn't much in the grade book, so do well on quizzes/midterms and you should pass! Lectures not mandatory, but so worth it!!!
Great class, interesting lectures
The only tests are the mid-term and the final. Homework really depends on your breakout TA. There is weekly reading from the textbook. The class is extremely interesting and really makes you question everything.
Choi's lectures are very interesting and something I looked forward to 2 times a week. The small section quizzes were usually based on his lectures as well as the readings so you should really pay attention. His energy and passion made it very inspirational and relevant to every day life. I would definitely recommend this class for SOC101
Choi is one of the funniest, most real professors I have ever had. He will have you crying from laughter in every lecture. He only has a midterm and final which are both very easy if you come to class and pay attention. He teaches you want he believes and is very open for debate during class if you disagree. Great professor, highly suggest.
Incredible lectures that really got me thinking. He has an awesome sense of humor and you won't be bored. Taking his class will be worth your while. Highly recommend.
Very opinionated. If you don't like what he has to say he doesn't really care. The breakout sessions are alright. Midterm and tests are a lot of your grade.
This class was great and Choi was probably my favorite professor that I have taken. He is there to help you. But be ware that your grade is solely based on your TA. If you have a tough TA like I did you are screwed. I had to work my ass off to get a C+ and keep in mind I went to a prestigious school in San Francisco and never got a C in my life.
I went to every single class and just couldn't absorb the information. His lectures are all over the place and it's hard to take notes. I really enjoyed his enthusiasm, but the tests were mostly based off the reading and were very specific. Class was based on 2 exams and a paper.
Attending his class is basically listening to him preach about life. Not a normal lecture with a powerpoint etc. He does not follow the textbook clearly. Tough because there is barely ANYTHING in the grade book (midterm, final exam, some small lecture stuff), so one mistake screws your grade. This class was tougher than i expected it to be.
This class was challenging, but I actually learned a lot about society. His lectures are very eye-opening and keep you engaged in what you're learning. Go to class and do the readings. The tests will be hard if you don't read. An amazing class overall.
Definitely recommend going to class, although it is not mandatory. There's a midterm and a final, and the rest of your grade depends on the breakout section. The tests can be difficult and asks a lot of questions according to the lecture. You need to work for the A.
.He's very vague about everything and all over the place with his lectures. This class definitely throws you off from what you're used to. Go to lecture and pay attention! There's a lot of questions on the tests about his lectures. Read the assigned readings too. Not the "easy A" class I was looking for but a little effort can definitely get you it
Choi is so funny and a great professor. He has really interesting lectures. I genuinely enjoyed attending his class. It isn't really mandatory to go to class but it is good to go to catch some stuff that might be on the midterm and final. Do some of the readings too because that stuff definitely ends up on the midterm and final too.
I actually took Prof. Choi(he's my most favorite prof.) in 2015. His lectures are awesome so you will not get bored, I would look forward in going to his class. His class give importance of using creativity that's why there's the media analysis. So take it, I wish I could take Soc. again .
Choi was an awesome lecturer, I always made sure to go to class because he actually made the learning fun and relatable to our own lives! His tests also weren't extremely hard and he really just wants everyone in his class to pass.
Easy class, the tests are worded in simple language. Go to class, even if it's not mandatory he talks a lot about the important stuff. He is funny so it's fun to go to anyways. The discussion section is also really easy.
Dr. Choi is a great professor. This class is awesome for the behavioral science GE credit. You don't really have to go to the large lectures to pass, but listening to Jung is worth it. Very easy class. It is heavily based on liberal views, but the logic is solid. Great class!
Choi is very passionate and funny. He makes each lecture something you genuinely want to attend because of his eye opening information and fun stories.
Class is overall very simple. Only homework in the class is reading, hi is a very funny and caring teacher and tries not to make the lectures boring, usually very entertaining, highly recommend this class.
Hands down my favorite professor at state. I'm so happy that I took his class during my first semester in college because it became that class that I knew I was going to enjoy no matter what. His lectures are so refreshing and inspiring and FUNNY OMG. He's the best. Such an inspiring human being honestly you'll love this class and this professor!
I wish every professor was like Choi. He takes education to a new level. Homework are just readings and as long as you go to class and pay attention you'll do fine on the tests. He doesn't take attendance but his lectures are amazing trust me you'll want to go to every one of them. Inspirational passionate funny and super smart.
Dr. Choi is amazing. The class is easy. Make sure you attend lecture because some of the test questions come specifically from lecture rather than the textbook. Make sure you read. It's very simple. Class is divided into a midterm, a final, and an activity class with some small (easy) papers.
Dr. Choi is the most passionate and inspirational teacher that I have had in my entire life. His class was amazing and he really changed my perspective of society. I only got graded on 2 tests and 1 assignment for the class, which were all easy. If you take this class you will not regret it. He taught lessons that I'll carry with me for forever.
If you're taking SOC 101, you HAVE to take it with Choi. His class made me glad I chose Sociology as my major. He changes the way you look at society and you'll really regret it if you don't take his class. Also, if you can, choose Lococo for your small section; 2 quizzes & 1 extra credit. She also gives study guides & thoroughly reviews in class.
Amazing teacher, you won't regret taking him!
Choi is awesome. Attendance at lectures is not mandatory. He doesn't use any powerpoints and I took no notes in his class and passed with an A. There is a midterm and a final which mostly make up your grade. For small section I would recommend Funches, she pretty much gives you the midterm and final questions and answers before the test.
I enjoyed going to his lectures bc he was really funny! Makes you look at our society in a different & interesting perspective. He knows what he's talking about and you needed to attend the lectures to get an A on both exams. Small lectures were POINTLESS.
Choi's lectures were very unorganized. Attendance is not mandatory. I would skip several classes in a row and still not miss anything important in his lectures (he usually just rants about random things that loosely tie into what were learning). However he did include in tests some very specific statements he would say in lecture or in readings.
Life changing Professor!!
Choi's lectures were so engaging and definitely made me think differently about society! His class was pretty easy for the most part. One midterm and one final. I barely read from the textbook b/c material is straight forward. Attendance is not mandatory but I enjoyed going to every class. He's awesome and funny, you won't regret it!!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! I looked forward to going to his class. I think everyone should take SOC101 with prof. Choi. Even though his lectures aren't really organized, he knows what he is talking about and makes you think. There are 2 books that you need, especially for the exams, and another, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, which you can find online.
Professor Choi is amazing!She's very organized and fast grader
You can show up to about 50% of the class, do none of the reading, and still do well. His lectures were somewhat unorganized because he went on rants a a lot, but he still managed to go over all of the material. I would get annoyed in his class because he talked about personal views a lot, but overall it was a very easy class.
Dr. Choi will change your life. If you are not a sociology major, you will probably switch over. He is an EXTRAORDINARY teacher, very inspiring. You will never forget his class. He's humble and truly truly cares about learning and engaging his students in meaningful talks and lectures. He doesn't make students feel like they are below him.
TAKE CHOI!! it will change your life i promise. He's super funny and very passionate. You will learn a lot in this class. You only have a midterm and then another test at the end (second test isn't cumulative). Just show up to class because his lectures are important. Make sure you do the readings too because some test questions come from there.
Chio is absolutely hilarious. His lectures are kind of pointless, I feel that he just rants about a lot of things but questions about them did show up on the tests. Attendance is not mandatory but I didn't mind going. He's very nice and an easy A.
Choi is probably the best professor for this class; he's very enthusiastic and his lectures are always interesting. He doesn't use powerpoints so lectures are a little unstructured, but take notes. Tests ask questions about the textbooks, so make sure you do the reading. Overall an easy A if you attend class, take decent notes, and study for tests.
Choi was an amazing Sociology teacher. He made every class a treat by joking around and being hilarious. He used real life examples constantly throughout every class which made it so easy to understand and retain the information.
Prof Choi is a very inspirational prof and cares about his students greatly. He forces you to look at society in diff perspectives and really forces one to open their mind. Choi is hilarious and somehow manages to make a large lecture feel small. 11/10 recommend
Dr. Choi is hands down the best prof at state. Everyone should take his Soc-101 class, regardless of major. He really knows what he is talking about and to lectures are interesting. There's a midterm, a final, & a small section where attendance counts. The textbook readings are not long, and if you go to lecture you could get away without doing it.
Dr. Choi aims to awaken his students. He discusses our current society and the issues occurring. I loved going to his class, and he incorporates a good sense of humor while staying on topic. It not only was academically beneficial to take this class, but it also helped me improve as a person. There isn't any homework. He just wants to enlighten.
Prof. Choi is amazing. His lectures kept everyone engaged and interested. He presented sociology in the most interesting way and I would 10/10 recommend him to anyone wanting to take SOC.
If you do the readings you will pass but if you show up and engage in big and small lecture he will give you an A. He doesnt care if you memorize certain things so much as you get the overall concept and passes that on to his TAs. His lectures are amazing and he is so funny it was the first class Ive ever taken that I looked forward to. 10/10
I really like his lectures. I learned a lot about society and also was able to reflect on my own viewpoints. He is passionate about what he talks about. The only downside about him is the few grade points you get even with the small section. So do well on the tests and don't even take it lightly if you suck at taking educated guesses.
one of the most amazing and inspirational class I've ever taken. choi is so passionate and makes everything applicable to your place in society.
THE BEST PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD. he is so Cary and passionate, his class changed my life, it almost convinced me to change my major to sociology. Hes truly an inspiring professor. Lecture is so captivating im engaged 100% of the time. And small lecture is just as fun. This class made me want to learn and enjoy doing it.
Sociology with Prof Choi was really the only class I could skip this semester, but I wouldn't want to because his lectures were just that amazing! Attendance is not mandatory, and depending on who your small section TA is, there really isn't any homework. The tests are straightforward and I got by without doing any reading, if you can, take him!
seriously the best professor i have ever had. makes you want to make a change in the world. very mind opening.
This professor completely opened my mind to an entirely new world of thinking. I've never in my life seen a professor this passionate about what he was teaching. My entire worldview is changed, I would listen to this man talk about anything. Easy homework, just show up and listen.
Why is it that the working class (the ones who work the most) have the less money? Professor Choi clearly chose the right career. He loves teaching and wants to inspired new generations to make the world a better place. Never bored in lecture. Makes you want to do good. Work were just few simple essays and tests are not too hard.
Choi is an AMAZING guy and professor. Large lecture attendance is not mandatory but he makes in interesting so you want to go. Small section attendance is mandatory and the class work varies by TA. Choi's midterms are not easy but I recommend doing the readings in all 3 textbooks and paying attention in his lectures and you'll be fine.
The passion that he has for this course is beyond amazing. I genuinely looked forward to lectures & was inspired and moved by what he would say during lectures. The course really opened up my eyes to a lot of different things & I doubt I wouldve gotten the same experience with any other professor. definitely take Soc 101 with Choi!
Sociology 101 with Choi was honestly so entertaining, inspirational and interesting. Dr. Choi genuinely cares about his students and the content he is teaching. Majority of the grade is based on your performance on the Midterm and Final, but if you show up to lectures, pay attention and read the assigned readings, you'll do fine.
amazing professor! Attendance isn't mandatory nor is it taken during the large lectures, but you will need the notes in order to pass the class (whether or not you go). The small section is worth 30% of your grade and my TA (Paul) went over the readings during that time so if you don't read the book, at least go to the small section once a week.
Inspirational lectures, really make you think. The class is reading-heavy, so read. The class is made up of a small section, midterm, and final, so stay on top. Other than that, you'll WANT to go to class
Very inspirational and amazing person. Inspired me to switch majors into sociology. I looked forward to attending his lectures everyday. If you are passionate about social change, he's the man for you.
Prof. Choi is probably the BEST teacher I've ever had so far! His lectures are so amazing that he makes you rethink about everything you've known and believed in your whole life! Attendance is unnecessary but you would NOT want to miss his lectures; he is HILARIOUS and educates us with humor so it's not boring. What an outstanding human being !
Class lectures aren't mandatory but they are very interesting and fun. Class material was somewhat common sense but do read in order to learn formal terms and specifics. Homework was easy and exams are also easy if you keep up with the readings and class notes.
He really opens your mind and makes sociology relevant to our lives. He is really passionate about what he talks about and really urges you to make a change in the world. At the end of the day, you'll learn something very interesting. No matter the grade you get, he wants everyone of you to succeed. You should pass though, if you attend lecture.
Inspirational and engaging teacher! His lectures are eye-opening and interesting. Only negative is he SPOILED End Game in front of the ENTIRE lecture.
Pretty easy class. A couple textbooks necessary and other readings provided on blackboard with small breakout sections for discussion. Very inspirational and SUPER funny guy. Willing to engage in discussion with students who challenge him. This class made me want to change the world. Seriously, take this class.
Choi somehow makes large lectures educational and personable. Attendance is not taken but a lot of what he goes over is on the tests. Your workload experience is heavily dependent on your TA. I had Kim Gan and she wasn't great but we only had a short paper each week on the readings. I loved Choi's lectures and would highly recommend his class
One of the best lecturers I've had. Very funny and makes it a point to get to know people who participate. Break out class is easy and helpful. Topics easy to understand and connected well with his anecdotes. Choi is one of the best profs on campus.
great
He doesn't have powerpoints in blackboard or in lecture so you'll have to take good notes. Theres a seperate class time which will be with a TA, depending who you get you'll have different things assigned. I did not really like this course, it was difficult. Two exams only plus whatever the TA assigns. Don't take if you're lookin for an easy A.
Attendance isn't actually mandatory, but don't miss this class!! you will be bummed at the end of the semester if you do, because you genuinely learn so much, and Choi is suchhhh a great lecturer. Pretty easy A depending on who your small section is. Final and Mid-term are relatively easy, and the textbook is a waste of money, I didn't open it once
Amazing professor. Lectures are fun and you learn a lot. Just take good notes and try to understand it. Go to the sections and do the assignments and you should do good!
Inspirational lectures. So far, the best professor.
Honestly, this man is by far the best professor in SDSU. If you have to take SOC 101 PLEASE choose Choi. He is very engaging and inspirational from the very beginning. His exams are EASY and you barely have any homework. He also says to buy a textbook but I never read any of it and still got a high B in the class.
I would definitely take Choi again if given the opportunity. He is an amazing lecturer and easy to understand. He is very passionate about what he lectures about. His test are easy to understand if you attend lecture and your break out session. He is ABSOLUTELY amazing and if you're taking Soc definitely take it with him.
Choi is amazing!! He is so passionate about sociology, and really cares about teaching his students. He is so engaging, interesting, and hilarious. This class has the potential to change your outlook on life and society. A great class and a great professor! Easy exams and projects too.
EVERYONE should take this class, it is very eye-opening and he is the best person to teach it. Very impactful but he does it in a way that makes it funny and interesting instead of making you hate the society we live in. easy A. Best Prof EVER!! super animated and energetic guy
BEST SOC TEACHER!! SO CARING AND FUNNY. He is so passionate about what he wants his students to learn and he genuinely wants all his students to pass.
Choi is amazing! Loved his class and lectures! He explains things really well and cares about his students.
I love professor choi so much. Even though the class was online this semester ive learned so much from attending his lectures via zoom. Hes so passionate about this subject and really opens your mind and makes you want to learn more. I havent missed a single lecture of his because hes that interesting.
The class itself is very easy. You are required to get a textbook but I only used it probably once. Choi is very passionate and loves what he is teaching which makes the class a lot better! Sometimes I feel like he is all over the place because of this though. The lectures are not recorded so you have to show up and pay attention.
Dr. Choi is such an inspiring professor. He really pushes you to think about things outside your comfort zone, and completely changed the way I look at our society. He truly believes in all of his students, and it's clear in the way he talks to us and in his lectures. No tolerance for rude, disrespectful students. Such a great class!
Choi is an amazing prof and person altogether. Attendance is not mandatory, but is very important to attend all lectures to get an A for the Zooms are not recorded and there's a lot of info discussed. TAKE SOC 101!!! Best class ever.
Choi was one of my best professors so far. He is very engaged with the topic & makes you enjoy being in his class. The TAs are also great people that are there to make sure you understood everything. Make sure to go to class & take notes because he gives a lot of info for tests. I would really recommend this class !
One the classes I actually enjoyed attending. He doesn't care about grading your knowledge in this class and everyone will get an A. What he cares about is that you go out into society and you make a difference in the world! He is very passionate and will make you want to attend and pay attention in this class ! Best teacher I had so far.
By far one of the most inspirational people I have had the pleasure to meet. Dr. Choi really wants what is best for all people and he loves his students to death. You would be lucky to take him. So wise and such a profound lecturer, you will leave his class better than you entered it. I would take the class again in a heartbeat.
An absolutely awesome professor! He cares so much for his students and ensures that we're not just in his class to learn but to make a difference in the world. He'd go the extra mile for his students. He's very inspirational, you'll be hooked onto every word! I honestly don't even mind that we go overtime in class, I truly enjoyed having him!
I loved Dr. Choi!!! Easy A if you understand the general ideas and concepts covered in class. No specific info on tests. Very inspirational, really made you think about the way society works. Little hw (part of his beliefs about how the education system should change). Absolutely loved him, highly recommend!!!
Choi is great!! Very engaging lectures, funny guy, and an easy A! Just make sure you attend your small section for clarification, and assignments. All assignments are easy and so are the tests! Definitely recommend taking any of his classes!
Love this guy! He's so passionate and enthusiastic in his lectures. He gives off great energy and clearly loves his job. Not much homework in the class so most of your grade revolves around tests.
Dr. Choi really changed the way I see our education. The lectures contain a lot so it is important to listen and most importantly, to critically think about the issues. Be sure to attend the small lectures because it really helps to understand certain topics you may be confused, The TA's will help you. The Newman book is not THAT necessary tbh.
Best teacher I've had yet. If you're trying to decide which teacher to take Sociology 100 from, you won't regret choosing Choi. There's very little work, and the classes are interesting.
my favorite professor at sdsu so far, is the reason i became a sociology minor. So passionate about the subject and his students. The class material is very engaging and relevant to present times and open to all perspectives and viewpoints. I would highly suggest his class and work load is very light.
Literally wish I could retake his class. Choi is amazing, his course really makes you think about the world, as it should. Take notes in class and you'll be able to answer all midterm and final questions.
Love Choi! He makes the class and subject so enjoyable. Very passionate and fun professor
This professor picked my major for me. Not literally but he might as well have because he was so passionate that it made me want to fight to be a sociology major and do something with it
I love this professor so much! I actually wanted to go to this class, his lectures are so inspirational. He was able to clearly articulate the learning material and added his own style to it. Very passionate. TAs are pretty much in charge of the grades so the amount of work depends on who your TA is.
Dr. Choi is such a passionate professor and his lectures are easy to follow along. There are only a few assignments included in the gradebook plus two main exams, but as long as you attend each lecture and take notes, the tests shouldn't be a problem.
Dr. Choi is such a cool guy! His lectures had everyone laughing & his team of TA's were incredible too. Everyone in his circle are awesome & caring people that love to talk about our society & how to fix it. Class is very easy & there is no reason anyone should get lower than an A in his class. Listen to what he has to say closely & you'll do fine!
wow, this professor is by far the best one I had. His lectures are never ever boring and always kept you intrigued. He cares about his students and considers them family. This class is an easy A and very interesting.
Professor Choi is by far the most hopeful, passionate, and caring professor I have had at SDSU. He is not over the top with his opinions, yet you can tell he LOVES teaching. It is something you don't come across very much anymore. He is worth it. Take him if you have the opportunity. You won't regret it!
love him, never boring
great professor that truly cares about his students and their well-being!
Choi is a great professor and he really cares about sociology. the class is easy and the breakouts are chill and attendance not required. i forgot about the class for a couple weeks and i was literally fine and missed nothing.
Dr. Choi made my freshman year. His lectures are fun and engaging. He's extremely passionate about everything he teaches, and even in a 400 person lecture, makes sure you feel important and cared for. I would highly recommend trying to take his lectures to anyone.
Dr. Choi is an amazing professor and was truly my favorite professor this semester. A great lecturer, and not too many assignments throughout the year.
Hands down best teacher Ive ever had.He challeges your views of the world in such a respectful manner. Whenever I coulnt go to his class I would be sad bc I would always look forward to his lecture.Opened my eyes about the systems. Honestly grading is not hard at all.Very easy attend lectures bc sometimes there questions from them. Test are online.
if you need to take sociology or just want to take a fun class this is the class to take. choi is so funny and is such an amazing professor. no homework other than the occasional short paper that is easily graded and the final. he obviously cares so much about everyone and is so passionate about sociology. highly recommend.
If you have the opportunity to take Choi's class, take it! He is very inspirational and is very passionate about what he teaches. Best teacher I have had so far here with nothing but good things to say.
Absolutely incredible. He is passionate about what he teaches and is very knowledgeable. Interacts with students (sit in the front rows if you dare!) a lot, makes lectures engaging. How much work you will do for this class will depend greatly on what TA you get, but all of them are great and hard-working. Definitely recommend taking it!!
ABSOLUTELY INSANE!! There will not be a more memorable professor than him. He is SO passionate about his teachings. He begins the lecture looking nice and sleek, but by the end he is sweating. If that doesn't convince you to take a class with him idk what will. So much I wanna say about him but not enough time. TAKE HIS CLASSES
Dr. Choi is a very inspirational person and has such great energy during every lecture. He loves his students and always makes his students feel welcomed. Easy class and great TA's.
Professor Choi comes to every class energized and knowledgable of the topic. The workload is light and exams are based on information discussed in lectures and assigned reading.
Dr. Choi was AMAZING! I could feel unmotivated before class and always came out excited about learning. He's so passionate and fun to watch, and the course is intriguing and relevant.
Dr.Choi was an amazing professor. He has a funny sense of humor and jokes in every lecture. He opened my mind and prospective about to a lot. The class grade was determined by the reflections that are done in the small sections and the tests(3). Sadly this was his last year teaching but I am very glad that I took his class. Thank you Dr.Choi !
Dr. Choi is AMAZING. Super interesting lectures and isn't just reading off slides. All questions on tests are specifically related to his lectures so if you want the information then go to class. Overall amazing lectures and interesting content.
Great lectures and not heavy on homework! Amazing professor.
Amazing professor. His lectures are so engaging and inspirational. Really shows how passionate he is about sociology and his work. Definitely recommend.
Professor Choi is such a sweet teacher. I took him Fall 2023 for Soc 401. Although he literally puts nothing in the gradebook, its super easy to get a good grade as long as you show up. He is so sweet and cares alot about his students.
The best of the best
Professor Choi is a phenomenal lecturer - his passion is contagious and the course content is fascinating. The workload is manageable, and I found unstuckstudy AI super helpful for study prep alongside the textbook.
He was the only professor that memorized all his students names and truly showed that he cared about each individual student.
Professor Choi is super inspirational and an amazing lecturer. He's very passionate and uses lots of analogies and metaphors to simplify complex ideas. I took his online summer class and had very few readings per week and one or two weekly lectures which were always very interesting. The grade is based solely on two exams but very manageable.
I really love this class. The lecture is really easy to understand, with the head TA writing notes as Professor Choi lectures. No assignments, but there is a discussion class. Just attend and you'll get full points.
He is actually so good, all of his lectures are so interesting and you will learn so much from him and not be bored. He is very inspirational and makes an effort to care about everyone in the class even when it is a class of like 400 people, he asks names and makes an effort to know you. SO GOOD best professor I have had !
A lot of his class seems like he is encouraging socialism/communism. But I think that he is a very caring and nice professor. just wished he had left spaces for critical thinking.
I have nothing bad to say about this professor at all, he's super entertaining and makes lectures super engaging and fun at the same time. His sociology 101 is simple and straight forward, and an easy A if you just show up and listen.
So passionate about what he teaches, never met a teacher this excited and motivated to teach in my entire life!
Dr. Choi is one of the most passionate professors I've ever had. He makes class worth looking for as his lectures are so interesting. There's a bit of reading in the class but TAs are so underrated and nice they will help you to understand what's going on.
My actual GOAT. He somehow remembered everyone's name in a 500-student lecture, and cares about every one of them. VERY passionate about what he does, and it shows. His lectures were entertaining, albeit a little loud. Do the readings; they do actually matter for tests. He very quickly became my favorite class. TAKE HIM!!
Professor Choi was absolutely amazing. He actually cares about what he's teaching and for driving 3 hours to and from LA to teach just shows his dedication considering he's basically never canceled a lecture. The mid term and final questions are pretty straight forward but just make sure you know definitions and characteristics and do the readings.
Professor Choi is probably one of the best professors I have had. He makes lecture super engaging and fun because of how passionate he is. Attendance isn't mandatory for large lecture but is for the discussion classes. This class is pretty easy if you just pay attention and the tests are a little heavier but are easy. TA's are pretty chill too.
Dr. Choi is an AMAZING professor. I truly have never seen someone who is so passionate about ensuring his students learn and retain the concepts he teaches. He always had positive energy and made every class feel engaging and meaningful. His dedication to ensuring we truly understood the material went far beyond what most professors do.
he is so funny and it is so clear that he cares about his students. the class is pretty easy but does teach you a lot. your grade is based off a midterm, a final, and small section attendance. tests are very easy if you just listen and take notes. large lecture attendance isn't enforced but why would u want to miss it. it's hilarious
Professor. Choi brought so much value to my education. The readings were sometimes long, but he explains all of them in large lecture. This was an awesome (and easy) class that actually made me excited to learn. There's 2 exams, both worth 35 points but the content is easy to learn as it's more about concepts/principles than specifics. 10/10 class.
