Seokwoo Lee BMGT340F Expecting a B Anonymous 11/20/2024	While Professor Lee is probably one of the most intelligent people I've ever met, he is a horrible lecturer. He often confuses himself during class, leaving the whole class stumped as well. The class average for the midterm was 52%, brought up by the one student who scored in the 90s. The practice midterm and answer keys for quizzes continue to have incorrect answers, leaving students stuck wondering what to do. While the class is supposed to be filled with the brightest finance majors prepping them for a career on Wall Street, I feel that it hurts more than it helps. Even though there is a pretty large curve (supposedly), it is very difficult to actually grasp the topics taught in class. You have to teach yourself almost everything.
Seokwoo Lee BMGT340F Anonymous 10/23/2024	Worst professor I have ever had. Lectures are horrible. He uses someone else's slides and spends all class writing example problems on the board. He then does the problems wrong and says he's bad at math (as a finance professor). His practice midterm had a bunch of wrong answers making it really hard to study properly for the exam. This is supposed to be an accelerated program but is genuinely a horrible experience so far.

Seokwoo Lee BMGT440 Expecting a B Anonymous 04/22/2024	Lectures did not prepare me for assignments in the class which I found to be tremendously more difficult than the content reviewed in class. He used a method of picking groups to participate which resulted in the same 3 groups being forced to carry the class and did not make accommodations when the class brought this to his attention.
Seokwoo Lee BMGT340F Anonymous 11/06/2023	A very nice teacher but failed to teach the class well. There was little to no structure in his lectures. They consisted of him just writing examples on a whiteboard, often which had intricate mistakes. There was no textbook to reference from, and his slides on ELMS were not helpful. His deep analysis of the mathematics behind each example further confused the students. The class mean on the midterm was a 63.7%, which he claimed "he aimed for". The BMGT340F section is strictly for Sophomore Finance Fellows. It is supposed to be an accelerated course, but honestly just made me want to switch majors. Overall, I do not recommend this professor. He seems brilliant but is clearly inexperienced in teaching an undergraduate class.
Seokwoo Lee BMGT440 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 06/03/2023	This was his first time teaching 440, and I think he did alright. The grading consists of four group homework assignments, leading a class discussion about a Harvard case with your group, periodic pop quizzes graded on participation, the midterm, and the final. His slideshows aren't conducive to learning in my opinion, as they are packed with long sentences. However, they are a good resource for homework and review. The midterm was a mix of qualitative and quantitative questions. Most of the class performed poorly on that, so he made the final (non-cumulative) mostly qualitative questions. Overall, he's a good professor that clearly cares about student learning. That said, you will have to put in some effort to perform well in this class.
Seokwoo Lee BUFN660 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/03/2023	The professor is friendly, always willing to re-explain himself, and answer questions over and over again. However, despite his hardest efforts, he does not explain very well. This is due, in part, to the inherent nature of the course which is complicated and difficult. However, he tends to overcomplicate it by delving too deep into the mathematical underlying logic of the concepts. He also struggles to explain himself. His assignments/exam were difficult, and not very flexible with grading. However, he does curve up for the final letter grade.
Seokwoo Lee BMGT347F Expecting an A zachwolf1 05/24/2022	It was a rough start to the semester as he was not given proper expectations for us. A lot of ppl dropped in the first few days as it took him some time to adjust to us. Once he did though, the coursework was still very challenging. He still worked with us and always made himself available for his students, which we all really appreciated. Almost everyone who made it through the first couple of weeks even signed up to take another semester of his course. His commitment to working with his students is unmatched. The coursework still is hard.
Seokwoo Lee BMGT347F Expecting a W Anonymous 01/24/2022	Proceed with caution! I took this thinking I wouldn't need a lot of background knowledge and It quickly became a very time intensive class. He expected a level of understanding of R to complete the assignments and was very hard to understand with a mask on. At the beginning of the class, there were 45 students, and by the end, there were only 18 left. Many of the students chose not to continue in the Quantitative Finance Fellows as he would teach the second course in the program. Unless you have a background with programming languages or an interest in quantitative trading, I would recommend not to take this class with this professor.
