She doesn't post anything online so attending lectures is a must, also recommend writing EVERYTHING down. Sometimes she doesn't understand students' questions, even when they're really clear.

Honestly a very caring prof. She goes too fast in her notes and its sometimes hard to understand the calculus because you are too busy trying to catch up with her notes rather than understand them.

For some topics, she moves very fast and it may be difficult to catch up. However, when it comes to more difficult and abstract concepts, she slows down.

Dr. Jung's accent is abysmal. She really cares about you and your mark, but it's just so difficult to listen to her try and explain anything. She doesn't use D2L, so you have to heavily rely on the textbook or actually come to class and try to understand. I'd take her class again if her accent gets better, but it won't.

Her accent is thick and she has no clue what she is doing. So many times she would make a mistake and not realize and wonder why she isnt getting the right answer and wont listen to the students. I remember having to argue with her what even and odd functions were which was insane. Go to any other prof from the start cuz shes always behind

She is really nice in my opinion and cares about her students. The problem is she unfortunately cant teach that well. During lectures she would make mistakes and sometimes would confuse us. Her accent is bearable and is not that bad. Her exams also were decent esp the final. If you practice the exams she does in class, than you'll be fine.

She's adorable and funny and loves math. Unfortunately her love for math is so intense that she gets sidetracked very often and solves a million examples without fully explaining. She also does a lot of proving. Taking her class is an experience that I recommend only once. Her jokes are so funny and she's always laughing at nothing. Loves talking

Nara is a sweet, caring and adorable little lady. The problem isn't even her accent. There's a bit of a language barrier so she isn't able to explain things well, which can make things confusing and hard. Her notes are also unorganized making it hard to follow. If you don't have a problem understanding her, then you probably won't have any issues.

She's not a bad person and can be helpful if you ask her questions after lectures. However, she gets confused while teaching, goes on tangents, overcomplicates simple things and barely touches on difficult things. Attendance of the class dropped once students realized it more beneficial to teach themselves.

She is a caring person and I believe she genuinely wants students to succeed. However, she has a very thick accent and is not good at explaining things (most likely due to the language barrier). If you have her, it would be best to switch to a different prof

Professor is very kind and caring, but her strong accent makes lectures hard to follow. She often makes mistakes during teaching, which can be confusing. Midterm was simple, based on labs/textbook. Final was harder, based on lectures/labs, but a curve was given. Recommend using textbook/YouTube to or switching profs if struggling.

She's a really sweet lady but her lectures are completely disorganized. It is hard to understand her, not because of her accent, but because she starts in the middle of a concept and gives no context to what she's doing. She is all over the place and tends to ramble for long periods about unrelated things then rush the lesson.

Sweet and caring old lady, but terrible as a lecturer. Attendance dropped by half after the first 2 weeks, her accent is hard to understand which is not her fault by any means, it just makes a complex course like Calc 1 hard to learn. Her notes are confusing and messy, they are not in slides, she writes them on a blank page with no organization.

She's rly not that bad I swear. Just try to do the homework and u will be fine. Accent is pretty standard ppl are exaggerating. She uploads all her notes so u don't have to go to the lectures. Also never in my life has a math teacher ever used slides to teach maybe I'm just used to it but her notes were fine they covered the general concepts.

She writes lecture notes during class and post them at the end of the week. I would say if you didn't do well in high school math, she is not the professor for you. She has a heavy accent, so I can be difficult to understand her at time. I can tell she knows what she is doing, but the problem is she doesn't know how to explain well.

Dr. Nara Jung is unable to simplify concepts that are simple let alone complex. She is sweet but spends time on material that may not even be on test. “It's easy” she says while doing any problem that students can't understand. I recommend bringing headphones and watching organic chem tutor math in her class.

Might as well not have a prof if you get her. Find another prof if you can! You can't understand her, she mainly rambles and laughs half the class, and writes incoherent notes all lecture. If you get her simply find another prof and go to them instead. I taught myself the whole course. The exam was very unfair too. Read the notes of other profs.
