Selected Student Reviews:
- "She actively asked for feedback from students and then applied it. For example, we asked for her to post completed lab demos before class, rather than waiting until after class, so that we could follow along with them and use them if we were confused. She was open to this feedback and started doing it, greatly helping us follow along in class."
- "Doing an exit ticket and then reviewing concepts that weren't completely clear from the previous lecture at the beginning of the next lecture has been super helpful. I also think prof. Yoon's pace has been perfect throughout the entirety of the class."
- "Sojung always reviewed information of previous lecture before we learned new material which was super helpful. She also answered my questions really well in office hours. She helped me most with my learning by providing accommodations when necessary and always treated me with respect."
