“Students in Professor Hong Lee’s course appreciated the well-organized structure, accessibility, and enthusiasm he brought to teaching. The case studies were a highlight, described as interesting and insightful. Professor Lee’;s open and encouraging approach resonated positively with many students, contributing to a favorable learning environment. However, some challenges were noted, including issues with group dynamics in virtual breakout rooms and a desire for increased interaction. Additionally, a few students found the compressed schedule of seven case discussions in four weeks demanding. While the majority commended Professor Lee’s teaching, some suggested more homework assignments for enhanced learning. Overall, the course received positive feedback, with potential improvements suggested for virtual engagement and workload distribution.”
