Tung is very knowledgeable about physics. You can tell that he is very fascinated on the subject and he does his best to demonstrate how cool physics is by using a lot of demonstrations in class. The problem with using a lot of demonstrations is that he just taught a lot of concepts and then wasted 10 minutes at the end of class to do those demonstrations. This means that he never did any practice problems during class. Also the Mastering Physics wasn't mandatory, but the practice problems still wasn't similar to what was on the exams, so it did not help much.
During the first midterm, almost no one did well because we only knew how to answer the conceptual questions. During the second midterm, he did a better job of showing us what will be on the exam, but you would only be able to truly know how to do those problems if you went to the REVIEW SESSION. or else everyone would've definitely failed. same thing goes for the final exam.
Still easier than Bondarenko to be honest. Tung's lectures were really interesting and charismatic, and his demos were pretty fun. He always kind of ignored my questions though when I raised my hand even though he spent half the lectures answering other people. Didn't really get what the deal with that was. I'd say find someone easier if you can but Tung's not a bad choice if you do all the homework and study, etc.
