  • Selected Comments:
  • "One of my favorite professors I have had! Was very engaging and up to date on real-world knowledge that I can apply outside of the classroom. Was very accommodating and can really tell he has a passion for what he is teaching. I enjoyed going to class and participating, and feel I will use this knowledge beyond this course."
  • "I really learned a lot in this course overall! I think Professor Kang did a great job teaching the class for the first time, and I liked how interactive this class was. This was the first business class I have ever taken, and I felt like it was very informative and applicable. Professor Kang clearly has a very strong background in business, and it showed through his teaching."
  • "Thank you, Professor Kang. Your networks and advice is truly valuable and taking this entry tmp class with you was such a great way to start the program. Your encouragement, hard work, and effort doesn't go unnoticed. Ending this quarter and having our last lecture with you felt bittersweet, thank you for pushing me to do better through the case studies and projects! Feeling inspired after taking your course. Id 100% recomment my friends interested in business to take this class, especially if youre the one teaching it."
  • "Super passionate guy. Participation matters a lot to him but it's really not too challenging. Easy weekly quizzes and a big group project due at the end. Really well-structured as a intro to business class, trust me take this course with Sukhun. if you show up and pay attention in class I promise you'll do well."
  • "My king. His class has been my favorite at UCSB thus far. He is very supportive and inspirational. It is definitely a tough course and there is no easy A, especially when it comes to participation and speaking up in class, but Professor Kang was amazing."
  • "I learned more in this course about businesses and the way the succeed than in my entire life."
