He will teach you but you must listen and you will learn something if you follow my advice. 1) You must read the chapter BEFORE coming in to class so you can follow the lecture. 2) You must do the assigned connect HW online AND written hw for participation pts 3) He tells you all you need to know to study for his exams. 4)DO NOT FALL BEHIND!

Taking Professor Chung's ACC 649 is the best way to prepare for your graduation research project. His exams are fair(FIB-direct quotes from text, short essays on research method) and the article readings are very interesting/helpful. He also teaches hands on tools that can be used throughout your other management or accounting courses and career.

This was not an easy class, only because you literally teach yourself, after realizing that you do not understand what he says and teaches. His tests are easy if you read the textbook (not skim) and do the connect problems. He documents participation by signing his name on a grid. If you get 25 signatures, you get the full participation points!

Professor Chung is a very responsible professors in Pace University. Without him, I won't have any idea of accounting research.

He assigns a lot of work, but if you can keep up with it the exams will be easy. I recommend him for students who are willing to put in work and learn accounting the right way.

If you're planning on taking the CPA at the end of your college life. I recommend taking his course because he will help his students build a foundation that will help you pass the CPA and your career moving forward. Don't recommend if you're taking him just for the credit. Ideally, you want him for 203,301 and 302. His 301 and 302 are connected.

He is tough and can be a bit anal about how he wants things. However, its all incremental and accumulated learning. If you just keep on the same pace/ just be on top of your work, you will probably be fine. And the professor is a really nice human being and if you talk to him after class and so on he is most certainly not what others say he is....
