Comment:

This class is curved for a reason. Some of the material being learned comes easier than others. If you have trouble with online courses I would not test my hand with this one. Tests ?'s come from a bank some of which some of is not mentioned in the lecture. Sometimes you'll get luckier with easier ?'s with little math other times not so much.

A student success center worker told me Fin 323 is a high failure rate class. After that information I reassessed taking the class online. I read reviews and I picked Professor Yung, best decision ever! He is fair, knowledgeable, explains in great detail. You will put in effort to pass the class. I am not the best at math and I got a C+.

This course is tough but if you come to class and do practice questions then you'll do fine. I suggest drawing out formulas on paper until its muscle memory, that way you wont miss any numbers or forget how to compute. 3 exams, DO GOOD ON THEM. Final exam is easier. The key to this class is PRACTICE QUESTIONS. Practice this stuff.

Not an easy class but if you study and can remember the formulas/ examples its not too bad. 4 quizzes that are 5 questions each, online and open notes but its timed. Theirs 3 tests that are closed book and have been 8 questions so missing a few can really hurt you (they each are worth 12 % of your grade). The finals worth 33 percent of the class

Professor Yung is pretty decent. He does a good job of explaining the material and working it out for the class to understand. He has an accent, but he's easy to understand. Be sure to do the homework problems, and be sure to print out the note outline so you can write the same notes he writes in class. Study the outlines and you'll be fine.

I took this class online and it was the most difficult class I have taken yet. Thankfully he heavily curves your final grade. I spent hours and hours studying for the tests but failed every single one of them, yet my final grade was a C+. He is very good at telling you he curves and what your curved grade is throughout the semester.

I have no problems with his accent. Materials are fairly difficult and a lot so he needs to go fast. He'll help you with HWs if class has extra time. But you don't need to read the book if you pay attention in his class and take good notes. Do HWs and review notes before quizzes then you'll be fine. Tests are similar to quizzes.

It's been a while since I took this class, but Dr. Yung is still one of my favorite professors. He works through a lot of examples in class and fills in the guided notes with you. His tests are challenging and not multiple choice (if you had him for FIN 323).I didn't find the HW to be helpful, but it's a grade boost regardless as long as you do it.

This class was really straight forward. He explains concepts and theories, and then he applies his lessons in practice problems. He answers questions and has very reasonable expectations. Don't miss class, do the homework, and use his note outlines in class.

Didn't know what was going on in this class. But if you go to class, take good notes, and study, you should do fine. He fills in the notes during lecture, so missing class should never be an option.

I enjoyed his class. The material isn't really that difficult. This teacher does have a Chinese accent, but I had no problems understanding his lectures at all. I will definitely select him again if he teaches another class I need.

Most people in the class didn't study or try very hard, so it was hard for them. But it is very possible to do well in Professor Yung's class. Explains stuff well. His English is not bad at all; it's pretty good compared to many other non-native English profs. You need to study to do well on the tests. I recommend. Very nice person.

moves too quickly through material. does not explain how to derive the correct formula. hw is not covered in class. tests and quizzes are multiple choice. not helpful if you get stuck. quizzes are take home, but are soo challenging. not recommended if this is your 1st fin class. only take his class if no one else is available. wish i had dropped.

I don't see why Mr. Yung has a bad rating, he is a great teacher. He wants you to try and ask question in class and gives you homework questions from each chapter so you understand the material and they're not due til the end of the semester and MC test. Loved his class, he is a great teacher, people who give this guy a bad rating just dont try.

I was suprised to see these ratings. He is not difficult at all. He doesn't make you memorize the 30 formulas, (1st test) unlike the other teachers. You will have to open up the textbook, but his tests are a lot easier than the book questions. His quizzes are take home. Don't plan on getting out of class early but I'd take his class again.

He stands over the projector and talks to the projector more than anything else. The tests are tough. He spent a lot of time going over stuff that was easy and basic.
