Student Reports
How hard is the A?
A is doable but not automatic
The signal here is more do-the-work-and-you-should-be-fine than easy-A chatter. Students do not describe the A as automatic, but the evidence also does not paint grading as punishing.
Homework Load
Moderate homework load
Homework load looks moderate. The recurring signal is steady weekly work, but not a course that turns every assignment into a grind.
Lecture Load
Lighter lecture burden
Student comments describe this as more discussion-, seminar-, or workshop-driven than lecture-dependent. The lecture burden itself does not sound like the main source of friction.
Strengths
Students repeatedly say the course teaches something concrete, whether that is content mastery, research skill, or a strong foundation.
Discussion is a clear strength; students repeatedly describe the class conversation as engaging and useful.
Tradeoffs
Difficulty runs high even when comments do not settle on one dominant complaint.
Best fit for
Best for students who want substance, not a disposable elective.

Spring 2024 · Kim, Hae-Young
I developed translation skills, presentation skills, and knowledge about the overall Korean society that I hadn't known before.
Spring 2024 · Kim, Hae-Young
I learned about various social issues in South Korea which aren’t obvious to international audiences. I learned how to approach these issues with an outside perspective informed by South Korean society. I also learned how to write analytical items in Korean in a more effective way.
