Very nice Prof.ECON1115 2019-02-21 19:11:07 +0000 UTC
Worst teacher ever. Wish you guys good luck if you are taking this monsters course.ECON000 2018-10-29 11:58:02 +0000 UTC
Not a very good professor. Teaches the whole class from his unorganized slides. Glazes over a lot of things and just moves too quickly. I think he forgets that he's teaching a principal course. Even by attending all of the lectures, I didn't feel prepared for the exam, simply because he didn't tell us what to expect, nor did he offer review time.MACRO 2013-04-25 10:59:55 +0000 UTC
just avoid, there are much better professors on the subject..AVOID LEE !ECON 2013-04-18 12:35:38 +0000 UTC
I did not learn one thing from his lectures, it was horrible. They would bore me to sleep even after I took a 5-hour energy before class. I ended up reading the entire textbook cover to cover, the week before the final and he still was harsh and gave me a C+ for a 79.95. I highly recommend you avoid him.ECON1201 2012-08-15 09:54:55 +0000 UTC
Speechless... Just avoid Mr. Lee!ECON1116 2012-05-05 03:44:20 +0000 UTC
Good professor, knows his stuff. Harsh grader, but if you attend and email him frequently then you will get a good grade. Exam one was very easy, but the final was a little harder. A lot of class work which counts for a lot of your grade. Be sure to attend every friday especially on long weekends- thats when he quizzes you. All nighter = win!ECON1111 2012-04-27 15:37:46 +0000 UTC
Had him for macro economics. You literally cant understand him, he doesnt use the book, he just read slides,he speeds through material, the tests are extremely hard you have no idea what they will be on. I cant recommend this guy at all. screwed my GPA! couldnt get an A if my life depended on itECON1222 2012-12-04 16:37:45 +0000 UTC
Horrible professor, If this is your first time ever taking economics I do not recommend this professor. I did not understand a word he said and he just reads slides every class. He has no idea how to communicate what he actually wants you to know for an exam, unless you know what you're doing I highly do NOT recommend this professor.ECON1115 2013-03-12 09:28:52 +0000 UTC
this class was extremely boring and dull. prof lee is a nice guy but his lectures are all power points that do not properly teach the students the material.ECON1116 2012-04-23 10:31:50 +0000 UTC
He knows his materials, but he just can't explain it clearly to his students. Much harder than other profs in principle courses. The worst thing is he is not a fair grader. He gave students from his own country a lot of bonus points.ECON1115 2012-11-18 16:10:01 +0000 UTC
Avoid this teacher for sure. Lectures are just boring ppt presentations that repeat what's in the textbook. Though you can usually figure out what he's saying, he speaks with an accent. Worst of all, you won't be sure what's going to be tested. If you take and stay his class, you are putting your GPA at high risk.ECON1116 2011-11-16 17:25:03 +0000 UTC
