Comment:
I had Prof. Kwon for two semesters now and I'm just going to say that it wasn't the best because I couldn't retain any information because he would just lecture. He gives assignments every week and the lecture homework are unnecessary because there's always tons and tons of multiple choice questions. Be prepared to study and review the topics again

Kwon is a overall good professor, he is very smart and knows his stuff ! attendance is taken every class. Tests are HEAVY!!! short answers are impossible you really need to know your stuff. about 6 exams I would say, no extra credit.. around 5-6 labs due very Friday and they are 4-13 pages long.

Comment:
Professor Kwon isn't the worst professor. I also took him for microbio. Gives a decent amount of HW due every fridays and never extends deadlines on assignments. He give multiple choice questions as well as short answers. MCQ aren't as bad but short answers questions are a bit tough. He has an accent so it might be hard to understand sometimes.

He's a very easy going professor. It is a bit hard to understand him because he does have an accent but his exams are based on the slides he goes over. The assignments he assigns are what is exactly on the exam but he won't tell you which questions are going to be on there. He's an easy A if you do the assignments and memorize them.

Took him in the past and his tests were alright, however, in this past COVID situation we were switched online and he made the class 80 times harder then it needed to be. He was not understanding of anyones situation and test questions were not based off his slide. You had to be a pre-med student even understand his questions. AVOID IF CAN!

He's hard to understand for some people, but he is an easy A. He gives you the questions for the test as assignments, but will not tell you which one he is going to use, and is same with the lab exams. If you don't want to spend too much time on a bio class, but need it as an requirement, just take him and memorize all the answers from assignments.

HEAVY ACCENT. His lectures are completely incomprehensible for the most part however he emails the powerpoint he uses in class and emails all the multiple choice questions that are on the tests. As long as you just show up to the lecture and study everything he emails you, you should be able to do well.

He was a good teacher but you really have to work for your grades. On an average week I would be studying for bio like 2 hours a night. He gave review sheets and take home assignments but it was often a lot to memorize for one test. I would recommend taking him although keep in mind that you really have to work in this class to do well.

BEST PROFESSOR ever! He has such an adorable personality and he cares about his students and wants everyone to get an A. He gives long review sheets for his exams, but they make up for the little hw that we get. If you want an easy 100, just study the review sheet! Sit in front of the room if you can't understand his accent bc he rlly tries hisbest

Dong Kwon cares about his students. He is an easy A if you study all the review materials which can be a lot. His lectures and lab can be boring but he is a caring professor who would go out of his way to help you.

Took him for BIO4, he gives plenty of review materials but it's a lot to memorize but helpful and is willing to help you if you ask. One BIG thing is that he has a thick accent and is very hard to understand so beware of it.

I had Professor Kwon for BIO 3 in my first semester at LIU. Overall, I enjoyed his class very much. He truly cares about his students, and he will go out of his way for you if you put in the work as well. The workload is not too bad at all, but be ready to work and study when it comes time. He tells you exactly what to study for all of the exams!

The only good thing about this professor is the multiple choice review questions, you literally memorize the answers and you're fine with that, but the review for the short answers are just way too much, his teaching skills are horrible all he does is read off of slides, I personally don't recommend him. Avoid if you can.

He really knows his stuff but it might be a bit hard to understand him. Just ask him questions and he'll try to explain better. He's such a cute old man. His tests are taken straight from the homeworks he gives and the lab reports you have to do during lab. Memorize them and you'll be fine. He emails his lecture notes so you'll always have them

Really sweet man, always willing to help. He sends lectures via email so we can review before exams. Also gives review sheets that have 3x more questions than the actual test. Be sure to study because your grade relies on these exams!

He is a very nice and respectful man. Lecturers are a little boring but he gives you reviews before every test. MEMORIZE THE REVIEW SHEETS! He gives a lot of questions on the review and hand picks the test questions from there. Midterm, final and 2 quizzes for lecture. And 3 lab quizzes. The tests are what make up your grade so be sure to study
