Comment:
This is an extremely hard class, especially for an intro class. The class was 100% online and the exams are so hard and specific. You have to basically memorize word by word because the questions are so specific. The only benefit is that the exams are curveddidn't really help though.

the most difficult online class ever. for an "intro" class, the exams are too detailed, and ONLY gives 25 mins for 30 questions. this is unfair b/c this is a required class and hes the only teacher.

Comment:
this online course totally ruins your grade! it also decreased my interest in TIM. even if you spend time writing your notes word for word, it's impossible to always and consistently score a decent grade. his exams are too detailed and this class is definitely not an intro class. doesn't test you on gen. info., but rather detailed data.

Comment:
taking TIM 101 online is a totally disaster, totalyl ruins your GPA. his exams are so detailed, even writing notes word for word based on the textbook won't help you get an A in his class. I dropped from a B+ to a C- because on ONE exam. DO NOT TAKE HIM AS YOUR PROF. it is impossible to get a decent grade! sign up at your own risk

I took the online class. Everything is on laulima and all deadlines are set already. I guess if i were more motiviated and didn't procrastinate and guess all the quiz I probably wouldve got a better grade.

Prof. Choy was a great teacher! I don't know why people are hating on him so much but I enjoyed going to class and lectures were interesting. If you're in the TIM school, this stuff is useful information, if not, it's your fault for choosing this class. Easily aced the exams because his powerpoints are available online and provided great notes.

STAY AWAY!!!! I got stuck with choy because incoming students get to pick classes last. Its no surprise that choy was the last professor available. EVERYONE knows he sucks as a teacher. The guy just doesn't care. His class could be cool but he made going to class a waste of time. Pick ANYONE else.

Comment:
By far the worst professor i have had at UHM, Unfortunately I've had to take 2 classes with him. neither of those classes did he impress me or any of my peers. If youre in college to learn i recommended staying far away from prof Cum (inside joke). He himself is a waste of time, his office hours are pointless b/c he rushes you out w/out help.

He creates clear powerpoints that related directly to the materials covered in the text. Exams are MC and aceable if you study the powerpoints and keep up with the reading. He knows a lot about Hawaii's travel industry and is willing to share his knowledge. Legit professor.

Comment:
Boring lectures bc he wastes time talking about unneccessary things. If you read the txtbook and powerpoint (he posts online) then you should get at least a C on the exam. He also curves the exams by taking the highest score and making that the total points. So it's not too bad. Just read and study and attendance is mandatory (sign in sheet).

Comment:
He got more easy with the grading from what I hear. Exams are difficult but the textbooks and powerpoints cover everything. Powerpoints are online which makes things very easy! I've been getting in the 70s for my exams and I study only the night before, and I'm getting an A! As long as you put some effort into it you'll be fine.

You'll learn a lot. But sitting in his class sucks! He talks to his students like they never left the island. Always wants to brag about where he has been and what he is doing. His tests are hard in TIM 325.

He is always willing to help, You have to go to class and read the book. His lectures are hardly from the book, but thats what he tests on.
