Very intelligent, progressive and learned man. Basically reads the book to you, but if you show up you'll learn twice the material than if you just read the text. He is easily approachable and eager to help students understand course material, offering his office hours to speak one-on-one with students.

Very interesting class! Be prepared to read a lot, but you are given enough time to complete the readings. The class is very student-friendly, in that you may work at your own pace. Attendence is not mandatory which is nice if you understand the material. Han is easy going and easy to work with. Highly recommended

Mr.Han is a great teacher. He speaks very well and will help you anytime you have any questions. When he taught philosophy he explained the subject very well with contemporary examples. This man knows exactly what hes talking about and tries his best to keep you engaged. If I could I would definitely take another class with him again.

Only 3 tests and one paper = the whole grade. Our first exam was two months into the course. Hard to take notes on lectures. Was always late, every time.

The material for this class is extremely complex and very hard to understand because it is straight from the philosopher. Peter is pretty lenient with grading as long as you truly demonstrate you are trying. Discussion posts due weekly as well as a reflection on two readings OR a case study reflection. Also there are two tests which are essays.

I took his mythology class. This was the first time he taught it. Majority of the course was people giving presentations with a reading based quiz every three classes (HARD). At the end we watched a cool tv series. Class drags a little. He's nice but acts more like another student than a teacher. Grade based off 100pts which makes the class harder.

Professor Han knows a lot, and wants to share all of his knowledge. The readings are pretty difficult and the next class you have a 3 point quiz on the reading you had for homework. It's only after the quiz where he then explains the reading so if you didn't understand the reading before he explains it, you probably won't get the full 3 points.

As this has been my first year at ECC, I have only had a few professors but professor Han was by far the best. His class was never boring and actually made you think. I do not read in my free time, but the books he used (instead of a textbook) were interesting and got me to enjoy reading the material. I can not say enough about prof. Han!

Very great professor, gives you great and detailed feedback on your reflections. You have to stay on top of things in order to understand his lectures, and will let/try to let everyone participate in each one. He respects everyone's opinions and let's everyone express them.

Dr Han is one of the best professors at Elgin Community College. I took his Intro to Philosophy course and it was by far my favorite class that semester. The topics and and readings are super interesting and really make you think. 10/10 would take again. Yes this class is writing heavy but if you put in the work, it should not be a problem.

I've had Dr Han for two different courses and they were both a great time. His grading system is nice because you can pick/choose which assignments to do in order to accumulate the points for your desired grade, I find his method less stressful and encourages students to be responsible. Overall a fair and reasonable guy. Interesting topics as well.

Professor Han was awesome. His philosophy course is awesome, his reflection assignments actually allow you the chance to creatively elaborate and use your own mind. He doesn't demand certain criteria in your writing which allows for open reflection. You are expected to read the books but luckily they're really interesting ones.

Prof Han is a great pleasure. Han is quite heavy on participation, but if you know your material and study what is given each week, it is an easy class to get an A in. It is a point-based class, so you can do as much or as little work as you can until you get the grade that you want. Quizzes and tests are easy if you participate and complete work.

Took as summer course. Rent/buy textbook for cheap(only pages 20-60 some are used), but they are absolutely necessary. Very lecture heavy, he cold calls a lot too and often times the answer he desires is not clear or difficult to specify; you have to find the middle ground between too broad and not broad enough. Very funny. Topics can be heavy.
