The class is difficult because it is graded on 4-6 pop reading quizzes throughout the semester, and 2 tests, one covering the first half of the course, the other the second. He offers great feedback, and if he sees a lot of people did poorly on a quiz, he offers extra reading quizzes. He wants you to succeed, so all you need to do is put in effort.PHIL1130 2026-04-16 18:03:49 +0000 UTC
Professor Jung Lee is honestly the best professor I've ever had. There's one paper, two presentations, and two exams. He's a very fair grader and gives insanely detailed feedback. Attendance isn't mandatory, but he doesn't upload anything on Canvas, so I'd recommend attending class as the exams are based heavily on his lectures.PHIL1290 2025-04-24 22:13:39 +0000 UTC
JL is one of the BEST profs here at NEU, I earnestly wish I could have him for all classes. He's pretty reserved outside of lectures, but don't let that discourage you - HES SO HELPFUL. And smart. His lectures are so entertaining and often get the whole class laughing, and I love his sophisticated vocabulary. JL would make a great English prof :)PHIL2395 2024-04-18 22:17:01 +0000 UTC
He is honestly my favourite professor at Northeastern. You have to work hard, but he grades fairly. Thought provoking lectures that are engaging, if you read the articles and books it will be even more interesting!PHIL2100 2018-01-27 15:55:14 +0000 UTC
Jung Lee is a wonderful enigma. A deeply humble professor. He pours his heart into these topics and his students. His teaching style lecture heavy, which works well for me. I've learned more from Jung Lee than any other professor. His personality is part of his charm. Take Ethics: East & West if you can. It's a fantastic survey course.RELS2100 2017-12-22 16:36:40 +0000 UTC
Great class, interesting content and uses the lecture time effectively. However, it does not feel like a philosophy class, the tests are just testing your memory and basically does not require much thought. That's the only thing i regret about it, otherwise he's great.RELS1290 2016-04-01 11:59:47 +0000 UTC
Professor Lee is super knowledgeable and makes the topics very clear. He adds tons of videos and in class activities to make the subject more fun. I did not expect to enjoy his class, but it is my favorite this semester! The tests are tough, but the class is definitely worth it.HONR1200 2015-03-21 14:19:29 +0000 UTC
Best class I've taken at Northeastern! Awesome field trips and fun classroom experience. I did ok on the tests. Would definitely take another class.RELS2395 2013-12-24 17:03:53 +0000 UTC
He's super intelligent. His class is always interesting because he has a great sense of humor. You do need to attend class and the exams are to be taken seriously; not an easy A. Most of what will be on the exam you will have learned in class but not everything so doing the reading is necessary. I recommend taking a class of his 100%!RELS1110 2013-02-22 18:27:14 +0000 UTC
Jung Lee is the man. He literally is the best human being at Northeastern University. No one has anything on him. He is God.RELS1100 2011-11-09 23:23:40 +0000 UTC
Got all A's in my engineering classes and somehow managed a C+ in this Philosophy class. He does not post the notes so if you missed note in class you're out of luck. Also his exams are very very specific, they cover exact examples not the overall meaning or theory.RELS1134 2011-01-13 22:18:46 +0000 UTC
He's very knowledgeable about the material, but a 100 minute class was a lot to go through at once. Shows lots of awesome videos and tries to connect with the students. However, he's kinda awkward, which is hilarious.HONR2200 2010-04-15 18:40:04 +0000 UTC
The class was interesting, but the professor also made it way more attractive as a business student who just wanted the free credit. I honestly would take it again and love the way he broke up the material and class time. The assignments as all manageable and engaging, it's not just reading to read, I would say.PHIL1130 2025-12-15 04:13:36 +0000 UTC
He's a very good professor who is quite knowledgeable and clearly enjoys the subject. Your grade is only made up of a few assignments: one paper, two essays, and two presentations. It is a lecture-based class, so participation isn't really necessary. The slides aren't posted on Canvas, but he does give really good, helpful, and thoughtful feedback.PHIL1290 2025-04-23 00:26:12 +0000 UTC
He keeps his lectures very interesting and fun. He likes to get students involved. Missing one class can be huge if something specific ends up on the tests. But if you dont miss class and study well the tests are not too difficult.RELS1290 2011-07-28 17:28:03 +0000 UTC
