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.

Skip class? You won't pass.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
