His tests are reasonable, however, the subject of calculus is what's challenging. If you've never taken calc, you better "be on your toes" if you want to suceed in his class. We started off with 40+ students, and ended up with about half at the end. You can't slack. I earned an A, but it wasn't easy. Overall Yun's an excellent professor.

Professor Yun comes off as a very nice, dedicated professor. At first he goes an understandable pace, allowing one to learn the material well. After the first exam he speeds things up. Never uses a textbook, but instead gives his own handouts of problems. He does one or two of them and continues. In 1 class he does 5 chapters, so many get lost.

Take him only if you are free and careful person. You cannot survive in his class with heavy load. Many hw and self study. Careless mistakes cost 1-2.5pt each, but 30-40 is full. 2 careless mistakes can destroy your grade entirely.

If you did well in HS I would choose a harder teacher. He's a good teacher and explains why things work the way they do in math, but near the end of the semester we slowed so much that coming to class felt like a waste of time. He's very enthusiastic and nice, and stays after class to help struggling students. If you need help w/math, he's the best
