Makes class interesting but he has a deep accent. So, it's hard to understand what he says. My fondest memory was when we had to bring a dish from our country to class for Thanksgiving day.
This class is easy to get a good grade if you do your work and be on time to his class. He always smiles. He is a very friendly supportive, and encouraged students to do better.His has a very deep accent but extremely modest(humble).Overall,good teacher.
he is a very good teacher, he is very down to earth and very informative. if you pay attention to what he says you will get an A. i enjoyed his class and hope you do too.
good professor makes class fun
Energetic, enthusiastic and excellent professor. He is so good you can care less about his thick accent. A+ professor !!
Excellent! Heavy accent, but if you pay attention you will understand what he sais. Very funny, interesting, and humble. Test are multiple choice baised mostly on notes but defenitions must be found in book. Try to read the chapters covered in class and you will pass.
I found the course material very interesting. He’s funny and humble. Really wants his students to do well. Tests are pretty easy, multiple choice, most questions are from internet or notes. If you pay attention in class and take good notes you’ll get an A. He does have an accent, but if you pay attention youll understand. Over all great prof! A
Like everyone else said he is a wonderful guy. Extremely generous with his time and cares much for his students. You cannot go wrong with this professor.
Love, love, love him...I took him 2xs for sss and cul. anthropology. He is great, very caring and respectful. He doesnt give much work at all.
love him - he is very funny and tries to make students care about society's issues; gives plenty of relevant examples.
I took him for 3 semesters, great prof. makes class interesting, very good with grading, study a little you will do fine. Most of his exams are from the internet, and the book.
Seo is a very wonderful teacher. He genuinely cares for his students. He is also very clear about his expectations and aims to ensure that all students meet them.
Prof. Seo is great! He is very helpul and really cares about making you understand and enjoy Cultural Anthropology. If you need any assistance, he is very generous with his time and knowledge. It was a pleasure having him as a professor. I learned so much and recommend him highly.
He is passionate about anthropology and what he teaches. Overall a very nice man and an interesting class. It is difficult to understand him at first but it gets better as the class progresses.
GREAT PROFESSOR!!!!!!!Lets the students watch a movie almost every class( of course , movie related to clas topic), Makes the class so interesting!!!!!!!!!!
GREAT PROFESSOR. NO REASON WHY ANYONE SHOULD FAIL. HE LET YOU RETAKE EXAMS AND DO EXTRA CREDIT. SO I RECOMMEND TO TAKE THIS CLASS.
ONE OF THE BEST
There is nothing negative to say about this professor. He is the sweetest professor I have ever encountered. He will take time out to help you and he truly cares about his students.
He is a very nice guy but that accent is the pits. Being nice wont get me a good grade but comprehension will and thats what this class was missing. His accent was so thick it was like ease-dropping on a foriegn language. I went home with a headache after each class. But the class is pretty easy so if your up for it- enjoy. Look out for the BONOBOS
Prosessor seo is awesome. All you really have to do is read the chapters, memorize the text (Along with the answer) online and write clip note for every film. He is patient and caring
The best prof ever :):):) recommended for anthropolgy
Professor Seo is a great Professor. He is really cares about his students. I highly recommend you taking his class. His accent is a little difficult at first but, you get used to it.
Wonderful humanitarian. Sweet person. Takes a few lectures to get accustomed to his accent but that is ok. He gives ample opportunity to earn a decent grade. Very dedicated to social science. Read a bit, take an active interest, participate/do some notes: you'll be ok. Fabulous professor!!!
He is wonderful! His passion for the subject makes it interesting. He teaches by relating stories on the subject so you can help remember it. A mix of lectures and film. A lot of room for extra credit and very clear on what will be on the test. His accent is fine. A very sweet man. I voted him hot because hes adorable.
ow please he doesn't read the notes from films.he just cares how much u wrote.if its 3 pages he give you max points 30.u can write about shoping and u still get max.i didn t learn anything from him even though i got an A.
Mr. Seo is a great professor. He's really clear on what would be on the test and the class is composed of film notes and lectures. He gives alot of extra credit to help you get an A in his class. He has an accent but as the class progresses you will understand him better. Great professor and a real asset to LaGuardia!
PROF SEO is the best! Hes so understanding and a easy grader. he keeps the class fun but attendance is very important. As long as you do all the work and review all the notes then you'll do fine. He's so sweet and nice.
He's one of the best professor I've ever have. He has the ability to turn a boring course into an interesting course. I really enjoyed his way of teaching, it's hard for someone to fall asleep at his class. He is very energetic & full of passion. I've learned alot. Even though he has an accent but he makes everything so easy to understand.
Great Professor with lots of energy. You will enjoy watching various documentaries and write about them. There were only three multiple choice exams, and the prof. gives you the answers ahead of time in the online book companion site. Gives extra credit assignments to improve your grades. Very easy class, and I received an "A".
wonderful prof full of energy and a wealth of information. The videos were great and his passion for all he taught was inspiring. Once you get passed the heavy accent there is no need to get anything less than an A in this class!* Don't buy the book we never used it all exams were from class notes and the website companion of the book.
Wonderful professor. Very easy, nice and understanding. It takes a bit to get used to his accent but once you're over it the class is not bad. Would definitely take him again.
best prof ever full of enrgy and informatiomn..the besttttttttttt
great professor!!!!! super easy examn, very funny, you really learned something in his class
Cool dude, but preaches too much, has a funny accent which was frequently tuned out, participates in student note-taking abuse, requiring the students to write every sentence until they get carpal tunnel. Can be a tad over-emotional, confusing, kind. Grades with point system which every teacher should use. Gives many chances to ensure an A grade.++
He is great, easy class, 3 exams no quiz 1 paper 2 pages. Take him if you can find a seat in his class, you won`t regret it.
hes awesome! i learned in his class, and he gives you points! instead of doing it just 86 76 blah, points! hes funny and he dose have a bad accent, but you get use to it!
HE IS THE BEST. VERY KIND AND HELPFUL
Great professor, really intelligent, and completely adorable. You'll watch amazing documentaries and learn a lot from his lectures. He's also really cool and open-minded and expects you to basically take notes throughout the course, study, and do all of your assignments.
He is an AWESOME professor, he will give you chances to make up his work and he really shows that he cares for his student. Yes he has a heavy accent but you can live with that :) Very fun professor to have and I personally RECOMMEND you to have him. You wont regret it I promise you that. A+++
i don't want to say more. just take him and enjor his class
Nice Professor...you'll get to watch movies and exciting stories....amazing guy and he is very funny...funniest professor i ever had in LagCc...
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANYONE!!!
SSA101 Cultural anthropology... Absolutely AMAZING professor. He is definitely the FUNNIEST professor you will ever have. Very down to earth guy, understanding, and VERY fun person. If you want an A, no need to listen to his lectures. Just study the textbook, study online companion site and take notes and you will get A.
He is an extremely easy professor, the tests are based on his notes and your grades will be based on notes you take from educational anthropology videos as well. My only complaint was his heavy accent!
Really easy professor. He doesn't like people who are late but other than that he's really easy going. His tests are straight from his notes. Also during the movies I think he grades the movie notes on quantity not quality. Basically give yourself carpal tunnel. I would never even watch the movie, just take as many notes as possible. Easy A!!!!
Amazing professor! Managed to keep sociology class entertaining all semester. Very fair grader. Also has fun projects. Just show up and copy all the notes. Never gave us hw, test were very fair. Despite his accent he is hilarious. After a week you won't even notice the accent. Get him if you can!
Highly recommended. God bless this professor, he is a real motivator. He cares very much about his students. Yes, he does have a heavy accent but because of his brilliance you will get use to it.
simply a great professor :) extremely helpful :)
I absolutely loved coming to his class. Such a wonderful, sweet, passionate, and funny professor. He does have a strong accent but you get used to it overtime. I would take him again if I could! Excellent professor! The very best! I highly recommend him!
This guy is too sweet and humble. He is great. When I firs saw him I was like WTH? but later on my first impression changed. He does have an accent but you will get use to it and its not THAT horrible. You will learn a lot and will watch some nice videos. He is great, got an A and did everything in the class. One of the best at LGG!
He is a great professor. I took his Summer Session and this was my first time in a class in over 9 years. I'm glad it was with him. He does have an accent but he cares about his students. Respect him, don't talk/interrupt him when he is in the middle of a lecture. Take lots of film notes and you will do well. I will take his SSA 101 next term.
This professor is one of the best professors at LaGCC. He is clear with what he needs. He has an accent but you will get used to in the second week. Video notes; take as much notes as possible. Don't seat there are watch the video. Take Notes! There will be extra credits, so no worries. I am an Asian, Central Asia is Asia
best prof. ever! really easy to get an A in his class. exams are based on his lectures- but he does do a review and tells u exactly whats on it. you watch a film every class and takes notes on it-easy way of raising ur grade! he does have a accent,but you get used to it. Really nice and caring guy! worth taking this class!
he is really the best professor. i like him for his good manner and accent. film work is very important to get extra credit. his project work is also very easy and helpful for gathering much more about the course. his class is full fun and enjoyment. i will take his class again. yes!! you also can take his class.
He's the easiest professor at LaGuardia Community College. Attendance and punctuality will bring your grades up by 2grade levels. Exams based on his notes. Paper was easy too. Easy grader. Easy A
Very good professor, his classes are interesting, and you will learn some things and get the grade you wanted.
Horrible. Doesn't allow student feedback in class. no engagement.
He was animated, comedic when he sensed his lectures were long, and very passionate about anthropology. I haven't had the luck of sitting in many classes where the professor was actively enjoying teaching, and it was a refreshing change.
This professor is very sweet, funny, and educated. His accent is so heavy that it's hard to understand, but he makes jokes about his accent all the time. He knows it's there. Be patient. I messed up by missing quite a few classes and falling way behind. I failed the midterm and didn't do so hot on the final. He's a fair grader, I guess.
Professor Seo is AWESOME. He has a really heavy accent, but once you listen in you will understand what he is saying. He actually is a really funny man and will have you laughing most classes. He is so passionate about anthropology and is very enthusiastic. A lot of ways on the syllabus to get an A. I highly recommend him! A lot of extra credit too
He is a great professor. Very clear on grading criteria. Get ready to write. Taking good notes is important. He is very willing to help but students need to show effort. Lateness and unexcused absences will affect you. It's an easy A if you just do your work. Films are short and interesting. Only 2 exams. Enjoyed the semester and got an A.
Talks a lot, but not a lot of class discussion done, prepare to write A LOT. Film reviews easy. Test if you study are easy. Has an accent but easy to understand. Has great humor. Do work and warm easy A.
This professor was the inspiration for me to study Anthropology in my B.A. degree. I am still thinking about a Master's in this field because of him. He inspired me with his enthusiasm, humor and mastery of the subject. I also appreciated his efforts to organize a multi-cultural food fest at the end of the semester. Take his class!
Has a strong accent but he's a great professor. Participate and study hard for the exams. Great class.
If you want to get an easy A, go for it! He will give practice questions for all three quizs and 99 % of questions on quiz are from there! Even though it is an easy class, he will make sure that you do all work, so make sure that you take notes during films that he shows and do all assighments !
off the bat he lets you know he has an accent, he relies heavily on notes & you taking them. which is fine IMO. bring your ipad or take pictures! You will watch a short films weekly and take notes. He gives a grade bonus if you have perfect attendance. only neg. is his study guides were too much and confusing at times. take good notes!!
Easy grader! Just take some good notes during the films that he shows to the class once a week, study the prep. quizzes and you'll get an A. He likes you to show up and he really wants everyone to do great in his class. Yep, he's got an accent but once you get used to it you'll want to hear more and more Lol. Take his class, you won't regret it!
GREAT professor. I recommend you take. Lectures are fun and interesting. Movie every week. 3 exams(60%). 1 paper(20%). Weekly movie summary(20%). Exam questions come from the practice questions he gives so study those. Perfect attendance gets a grade bump.
this class was so much fun-- we watched a lot of films and i learned a lot about sociology. he has a heavy accent but after a lecture or two you get used to it. he's really funny and really sweet. i would love to take another class with him!
This guy is AMAZING. His accent is heavy but you can understand him for the most part. He gives great notes in class and you can tell he loves anthropology. He's energetic and keeps the subject interesting. I would LOVE to take him again. LOVED HIS CLASS.
tough
He is nice. you have to show up all class as he will give you his summarized notes about the class that have to learn. have to spend time to study and then just take a test.
One of my best favourite professor, if u work hard he will give you A definitely and he has no hw just 3 exam which comes from review. Such great professor.
Very easy class. Divides class into lectures and films. No homework except 2 responses to films. Attendance mandatory bc you will be graded on your film notes. Tells you exactly what will be on the midterm and final with review questions. Study his notes, memorize and you will get an A
TAKE THIS CLASS!! If you don't, you will regret it. He requires to do a paper but you have so many topics to choose from so there is no reason why you would have a problem. His exams are super easy; READ the notes from class!
Professor Seo is a very good professor. He does have an accent that could be hard to understand at first but he tries his best to be clear. Just give him a chance. His material is not difficult. He gives a very detailed review sheet of exams weeks before so just study that and you will FOR SURE get an A. I recommend this professor.
I love Professor Seo 'cause he makes me happy. He is really caring every students and all the tests are not difficult. He posts online-review two weeks before the exam. If you just study on review sheet, you will absolutely do well on the exam and get A. Also, You have to do one project paper among many topics. Highly recommend.
He is the best!!!!
Best Best
He will give you 150 REVIEW qsn for mid term and 150 REVIEW qsn for the final. Jst study 150+150300 review qsn for the whole semester and you will get 100% score. Midterm and final consists of 50 multiple choice qsn, which is copy and paste from the review. You don't need to even open the text book. Remember don't be late and try to avoid absence.
You can tell this professor loves what he teaches. He understands majority of students have work and will give extra credit work to get a higher grade in class. I would love to take this professor again. It is the only class I actually learned and had fun at.
Hi is nice, too nice! A lot of extra credits! Make sure you don't miss the classes and if you don't pass this class you shouldn't be passing any other class because this is very easy!
This Professor is the best.. Test are mad easy study a day before and got 500/500. he's funny and nice. I love his accent. Fun class lots of activity. TAKE HIM GUYS EASY GRADING DO YOUR WORK GET AND A BABE !!!!
This guy is amazing!! Its obvious that he loves what he does. Exams are easy, not much too read and there are a lot of opportunities for extra credit. He is hilarious!Study and youll pass. Will def take him again.
Great professor, has an accent but you will get used to it quickly. Gives opportunity for extra credit. Very clear grading criteria and will post grades in a reasonable amount of time. Work is not stressful but you will need to put in some work but a pretty good professor overall.
I don't usually rate professors, but this is an exemption. He is a very well respected professor. He makes you understand while adding humor. He gives small papers to write, but fairly easy. Just attend class, and do your work!
Awful!
it is impossible for someone to fail this class. as long as you do the extra credit, show up and study the exams material he gives, you'll get an A. very nice teacher
Pretty easy A, just study!
Dr. Seo is a great professor. He's very kind and generous in addition to good teaching. His class is absolutely doable A for everyone. How he gets bad reviews is beyond me. He's one of the top professors I ever had. Definitely worth taking.
This was hands down one of my favorite professors! His assignments are truly inspirational and makes you step out of your comfort zone. I highly recommend taking his class. His exams are easy to pass as long as you pay attention and study.
Thanks professor, it was very educative class I ever had taken! Miss you a lot. I would say, he is the best professors at LAGcc !!!
This is an easy class but you learn next to nothing as he gives you the whole test and his class is just a bunch of slides. He does not care about his students and the work is trivial, show up to class and you pass is really all it is. You either have to be extremely lazy or not show up to fail, he doesn't care about how well you do in the class.
You get to learn a lot about US History . It was fun taking his class . Just follow his instruction .
It is my second time to take his class and I like his clear instructions for the students to get an A. The interesting topics are from the textbook but the textbook is not a must because there are review questions before the exams. There are video notes for extra credit every class. He has an accent but overall he is a wonderful teacher.
Amazing professor! If you want a professor who cares, this is your guy! He makes every class so fun and every lecture is incredibly engaging. The guy has more personality in his little finger than anyone else I know. By far one of the best classes I have ever taken!
An easy A. Gives us the study guide and all the questions in exams are from that guide. Gives so many fun extra credits. Has accent but that's never been a problem to me or my friends. His lectures are fun. Makes a lot of funny faces and sounds. Never a boring class.
Good professor but if you are taking SSN 187 with him, make sure u DONT take it in the short session. It is hectic and he will give a lot of work. If it's a twelve week session i'm sure the work load would be much lighter and easier on you.
Professor Seo is a great professor. You just have to study the review questions and you will be fine.
STUDY GUIDES!! The study guides is all you really need for the exam TRUST ME. He is funny and a very easy going.
Amazing professor. I didn't even know what Sociology was before I took this class and Prof. Seo blew my mind. Inspirational in every way. Just show up, listen to him speak, study the material and you will get an A. Inspired me in many ways. Truly, a gem of a professor.
Prof. Seo's lectures are more of a listen and take notes rather than a participation matters lecture. He always provides a review sheet before each exam and if you take the time to study the review sheet then you are sure to do good on the exam! He also provides a lot of extra credit so take it if you need it! Overall his class was very enjoyable
Hes laughing and smiling every time you see him, always giving off positive energy. You watch a video every class & take notes of it, study the PowerPoint slides, memorize the test questions and youll pass. WARNING: If youre pro-life on abortion like I am, u might have a tough time during a few topics. Otherwise, great class & great professor!
He's a very good professor, he knows his subject and really wants all of his students to learn. Don't ask questions that you already know the answer to, because he will get annoyed and at one point I got annoyed because people are very irresponsible. Just look at your syllabus and do the work and you will pass with an A.
Very bad professor, many homework.
a lots of homework, exam only 30 mins for midterm and final, be ready and study well
easy class, don't learn anything
Vey rude and disrespectful when it comes to mental illness. He will not repeat himself even if you have a question. And any questions you have he will answer in a bad mood. Exams are difficult and expect to study hard. An exam can be as short as 30 minutes for 60 questions.
Whoa, Im shocked by some of my classmates that gave Prof. Young-min a bad review. He's a great professor who gives you endless opportunities to do or re-do your assignments. It may seem a bit overwhelming at first but he allows you to go back to review class content. But, he absolute hates dumb questions or having to repeat himself so pay attention
Disrespectful, gets irritated when a student ask a certain question, 3-7 Hws each week, movies 1-3 hr long, 30 mins 50 questions, call his students special prior to the exams & you wont learn nothing as he just shows short videos, movies & he gives you the answer to the exams.
Professors grading is a bit weird. He says you get extra credit, but you don't get full credit if you don't do the extra credit. So what's the point of calling it extra credit if you have to do it anyways? Overall, his class is easy. He makes you watch youtube videos.
The professor made us do in class work which was good . All we had to focus on was the exams which is something you can't get away with . His accent is a little to understand so he goes slowly this way you can understand him. Im so happy that i picked as my professor. 100 percent take this class again.
He's very nice and always be here to help student. I got A in his class. you must pay attention in classes to do the homework.
You basically do the homework in class, and the assignments are so simple- though he actually is pretty strict with the responses, he expects some thoughtfulness. But otherwise he's really empathetic of the students and with the little time you spend with him wants to respect you, make you laugh, and make sure you're okay as a student.
If you do the work you will be fine. Also he let it slide when I had E coli and couldn't come to school(yes I had a doctor's note, he was less annoying about it than most professors here though.) so extra points for that. 5/5, cool guy.
Great professor, I learned a lot from his class. Do the work and you'll be fine, he even lets you do them in class which is really convenient. Also a really funny guy and makes the class enjoyable.
All work is done in class unless you're not really a fast writer but then it can be done for homework. Long lectures but not as bad just could've been broken down. He gives reviews a week before exams and the material covers them. Even some extra credit I got over 100 in his class. Definitely take him!
He cares abt the people. He talks A LOT but overall great. He gives us plenty of time to finish everything in class, and deadlines are days away. He genuinely cares abt what he teaches. He's super sweet and understanding. He was a little hard to understand sometimes with his accent but nothing crazy.
Easy prof and an easy A class. I would recommend him to anyone. Explains very clearly what he wants you to do in terms of assignments, doesn't give homework, and he is very understanding. He wants everyone to get an A in his class. Once you complete all of the in class work you will pass. There are 3 quizzes and a final in total, very easy.
This professor is adorable! His enthusiasm for sociology is simply contagious. Very clear grading criteria, was understanding and caring for his students and taking his class made me consider pursuing sociology as a minor or double major. Every professor should take notes from him, honestly the sweetest person. Am very grateful for taking his class
I'm suprised at the bad ratings I see for Prof. Seo. His class is fun, he engages with students and throughout the semester, not once did I see him getting angry. The class is easy as well as the work. The only bad trait I would say he has is not replying to emails on time. He takes a while to reply to student's emails but he replies.
Always HAPPY! Hilarious and generous professor. He is so sweet and caring too; very supportive and curious to know if you are feeling okay, he wants you to be happy. The class was fun to learn in, and easy to pass. There are three quizzes and finals (which are the three quizzes combined). He gives answers for quizzes, but still, you learn a lot.
Great professor
Very passionate and caring professor. Definitely recommend you take his class! Lots of extra credit avaliable througout the semestr. Assingments are very straight forward and subjectively easy.
He is the worst professor I have seen in my entire life. The way he speaks is totally funny. Very rude and dominating attitude to students. I asked some questions in the class he could not answer it and from that moment he tried his best to make me fail and finally with the help of chairman of his dept I could get rid of him. Good Luck with him :)
If you're thinking about taking Urban Sociology with harder classes I'd recommend it. Simple grader & if you do well enough you may not have to take the final. Also cares about his students and is very interactive with his learning. Quizzes and tests are also very straight forward
He is one of the most caring, genuine, and cheerful professor I've met. It is clear he cares about every student and loves teaching. His lectures are insightful and his assignments are not difficult at all.
Engaging prof who makes the class enjoyable. Assignments are straightforward, and there's lots of extra credit. unstuck AI was a big help for exam prep alongside the free textbook.
He is a great professor.Just do your class work and I gurantee you will like this course
i loved his teaching he was the most fun and caring professor I WOULD ONLY SAY IT'S A VERY INTENSIVE WRITING CLASS mostly of all it's very fun and has positive vibes
Absolutely love this guy. Gave extra credit opportunities almost every month, I even attended a Korean festival for extra cred. Writing intensive class BUT he has a format already written, you just have to follow along and rewrite in your own words. & Best part of this class was the trips! Highly HIGHLY recommend him. He cares about his students
he was awesome, very humorus, very happy, you could tell anthro really is his passion, knows a lot, i wish him well
Great introduction to college expectations; forgiving/polite (surprising for a late-night class). Very passionate about anthropology and also eccentric. You know the dates for exams and quizzes from day one. He has a very thick accent, but it doesn't interfere with lectures.
