The class is really fun if you are interested in learning Korean. The way she teach or the TAs is very helpful and understanding, you just have to put some effort for the quizzes which is based on the vocabulary you take during lecture. Overall, the class worth it. I would definitely take another class with Professor Ahn !","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2608279","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":1.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:35:02.485978+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM2MTI0MzU4","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2608279","instructor_name":"Jaerin Ahn","course_label":"ASIALANG105","course_id":"ASIALANG 105","course_uid":"course_cb9203a007fdb582b7630896","review_date":"2022-04-21 20:05:53 +0000 UTC","comment":"An amazing Korean professor.

She breaks down difficult grammer/vocab in interesting and easily digestable ways. Both TAs are very kind and helpful as well. Attendance is mandatory, but they're very understanding if something comes up. Don't take advantage of this though, as lectures are fast-paced and it's easy to get behind.

Grading is based upon several different factors, so if you have one rough test or quiz, it's pretty easy to make up for it and still get a good grade.

She's sweet, straight forward, and gives that gentle nudge rather than a slap on the wrist when you make a mistake. Class work is simple, not much is expected in ASIALANG 105, in comparison to JP or FR. She gives lecture notes +++, speaks slowly + or - depending on what you want in a language class.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2608279","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:04:38.556872+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQzMDA4NjM0","source_instructor_id":"rmp:3157231","instructor_name":"Steve Gagnon","course_label":"ASIALANG105","course_id":"ASIALANG 105","course_uid":"course_cb9203a007fdb582b7630896","review_date":"2026-05-03 06:39:38 +0000 UTC","comment":"Literally amazing professor for both 105 and 106. Very clear guidelines for the class. I am very impressed how much content we actually got through despite him making it very manageable. Never too much homework, never too hard tests, great study guides. The group project was graded individually, avoided all the bad things about a group project.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/3157231","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":1.0}]
