This guy is the best professor. Gives you alot and expects alot of you. He will push you which may be painful but if you work with him he will do everything in his power to help you succeed. Recommend him to anyone.

This class revolves around case study method. Professor encourages students to think critically and SPEAK OUT in class - good skills to hone prior to graduation ... as one is not graded on his/her multiple-choice test-taking skills in the real world.

The class revolves around the discussion ALL THE TIME. I understand that the prof. is trying to help us refine our discussion skills but I wish I could learn more from the professor's knowledge and experiences, not only from your classmates.

Mark definitely wants a class that participates in discussion. A lot of reading articles & case studies. No book (very nice) He loves when you debate & challenge others.

Really fun professor on the Global Program trip. Really knows all the great places to visit, and free time to go visit the area. But whatever happens DO NOT MISS the LECTURES & CLASSES, b/c he will not hesitate to NOT PASS you if you miss out on class. But really fun professor who is serious during classtime, but really fun during freetime.

Best professor I've ever had! Challenges the students to take the next step in learning! Full of life and very dynamic - class can be tough but in the end you learn about more than IS. TAKE HIM!

Mark is a one of the best professors I have ever had. Many students felt his expectations were unclear and that he was a difficult grader, but they weren't listening. If you want to learn to think "out of the box" definitely take Mark Chun!

Here's the truth: Mark Chun is a really nice person. You will learn a lot in this class. You will do well if you keep up with the reading. The class by nature is boring, but he makes it fun most of the time. You will get out early a lot, you will eat a lot, you will laugh a lot and you will feel rewarded when it is over.

He should really learn to teach students better as he is feels like "he knows" your weaknesses and will jump on you in class. Very confrontational style.

Chun is AWESOME. I think if you don't get his sense of humor, that's when you have a problem. He's extremely energetic, makes it interesting, and really, REALLY cares about the students and the school. How many other PU profs can you say that about? Participate, have fun with it, and you'll be fine.

Great professor. I wasn't a big fan of his class because of all the participation that is required. Stick with his class and you will learn a lot.

Chun is a tough grader, he pushes you every class, and he makes you work. That being said, he's a good teacher, makes you learn a lot, and he honestly listens to what you have to say. Take this guy! I think the "favorites" comments are correct but those are the ones who always contributed a lot to the discussion and Chun knows that.

Truly disappointing. He lectures about how wonderful and ethical he is, but it is clear he can't walk the walk. His grading is subjective and unless you're a favorite he doesn't bother with you.

Chun is good at getting you to study & learn how information is used in a managerial role, If you think this is an IT class then prepare to fail, it's an MBA class with managerial lessons. This class is designed to teach you how to think about managing processes. Complaining students are the ones who will forever be low rank and file.

This class stressed me out, but in a good way - Chun forces you to think outside the box and be engaged throughout the learning process. He's an energetic, engaging, and compassionate professor. His class is not just a class, it's a true experience. Challenge yourself, take this class and you will learn a lot. One of the best profs I've had.

Discard all rumors you may have heard from other students about Chun. Instead of sucking it up and truly immersing themselves in the class and possibly learn a thing or two, they whine and whine, ultimately getting nowhere in the class & life in general. Chun's class was definitely a challenge, but it is well worth it IF you put in the effort!

Basically you'll review articles on strategic IT mgt/concepts. Most will not benefit unless they are senior execs or consultants. Expectations are unclear and Chun talks a lot about how great his class is. Daily routine:review articles and comment. Comment quantity more import than quality: read the assignments and speak up and you'll be fine.

All you people who hate on Dr. Chun are just pissed b/c you weren't smart enough to get an A. He was one of the BEST professors I've had at Pepperdine and I hope he stays. We need more profs like him to keep this program challenging. I wish this was a weed-out class so all the losers that don't belong in MBA school would leave. I had no interes

Prof Chun is a very energetic and full of knowledge about the subject of IS and beyond. Anybody with harsh critizism, not sure where they are coming from. Obviously you can't please everyone. He is a great teacher with sound ethics and cares for his students success. It is a great experience, make not mistake about it.

Chun's expectations should be mirrored by all Profs at Pepperdine. All the useless students that fall asleep in class, update Facebook on their computers for 4 hours and do not contribute to the team work would get weeded out. Hands down, the most engaged Prof at Pepperdine.

Chun makes you think and holds you accountable for your analysis. Some of the criticisms on this site stems from people wanting this to be an IT class. It's not. The point is not to tell you what technologies to use because tech changes exponentially. The point is to teach you a way of thinking about technology. Great class. Awesome prof.

I thought he was really good! I really don't see where the negative comments came from- probably some students that were mad they didn't earn A's. Chun has a fun, engaging teaching style and he gave me a lot of great ideas! My advice- read ALL the articles he assigns. They're really good. Youre only cheating yourself by not reading them.

He encourages students to talk and exchange info. As long as you're not too sensitive and your goal is learning and not get a handout, he'll be great. He is an absolutely wonderful and caring person. He'll not give you a handout just because you've a good excuse.

The best prof I've had at Pepperdine. He relates real-world applictions into the coursework. There is a lot of reading- be prepared for class. As long as you do the reading and come prepared- you will be fine.

Chun is amazing! He honestly cares about his students succeeding. His class is not easy by any means. You have to show up with all the readings completed, and there are a lot. Be read to work hard, but he is a great professor and I would highly recommend him!

PROFESSOR CHUN IS THE MOST AWESOME PROFESSOR AT PEPPERDINE. He truly cares abou his students and he really went out of his way to help me. I learned a lot in his class and the mindset he teaches is very relevant in my industry. The negative comments are from students who obviously did not read his articles and thus, earned a low grade on the final.

The class difficulty is what's expected at the graduate level. This is a graduate level course and should be challenging to keep up the standard at Pepperdine University. He's a fair teacher. The biggest tip for his exams are read the questions and answer. Remember quality, not quantity. This is an IT related course and thus logic goes a long way.

Great Professor! Learned a ton in this class.

I'm not sure why Dr. Chun has so many negative reviews. I was scared to take him after reading his reviews, but I'm so glad that I did! I learned so much in his class and have immediately implemented and utilized the concepts that I learned in his class in my work life. His assignments are fair and clear. He is engaging and fun! Take his class!

Dr. Chun is a standout professor. Still, some of my classmates,whined about him. They need thicker skin. He's fair. Yet, some whimper because they find it challenging to adapt or are too lazy to do the assignmets correctly. I, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed his class and found it incredibly engaging.

Out of all my years of higher education, Mark is the best professor I've ever had. He's incredibly smart, easy to understand, and inclusive. He creates an environment where everyone feels comfortable contributing, encourages critical thinking, and is always approachable. Great material, good class. 10/10 rating would take again if I could.

Was hesitant to take the course based on reviews. Who ever wrote poor reviews is clearly biased or has personal vendetta against the professor. The class was in fact fantastic, great learning material, and very engaging. Not much of a time requirement involved. Material and assignments were clear, non-subjective, and fun! Extra credit ops too.

I don't do ratings but I could not pass on this professor, he is caring and consistent. always communicates with students to make sure we are up to date or if we need help. lectures are super fun and students are always free to discuss their opinion freely. I would for sure take this professor again.

Dr Chun is a great professor that always make sure you learn something from his class, there are readings and group projects but even those assignments are fun, readings are very relatable to our day to day life or even aware us for what is to come for future. if you love to learn something that will for sure use in future or current job take him.

love his class and lectures, he also provides everything you need to read.

His articles are good and interesting class is very chill, you can't use your phone or computer to pay attention to him attendance is mandatory and if you want to pass be ready to share your opinion and participate

This has been one of my favorite, most intriguing, and applicable courses in my entire college education. Dr. Chun prepares great topics to get the class engaged and really wants the class to succeed and get involved in class discussions. While at times he challenges his students, I think everyone would benefit from taking any of his classes.

Great professor, if everyone reads the assigned readings and is ready to participate as my class did the class goes very smoothly. Mark gives great feedback to points brought up in class and makes you think. Very caring and a super nice guy. My favorite professor in my college/grad career.

Mark is an outstanding professor who makes complex computer information concepts clear and accessible, even for students with little prior knowledge. He effectively connects lessons to real-world applications, fostering a deep understanding. His engaging teaching style encourages active participation and learning. - EMBA

Dr. Chun is an amazing individual and human being. One of my favorite teachers ever. He can be tough but he is fair and he makes class fun
