He tries to make connections to Korean media he thinks we'd be interested in and he gives us a lot of autonomy when it comes to pair work and projects. He grades very leniently as well.",

He does call on people a lot, but he won't call on you if you ask him not to. There are a lot of small homeworks, but they are very easy. He can be a little scary, but he's really nice :)",

Very friendly to talk to, and his concern and care regarding students is easy to see. Would definitely recommend him to anyone debating taking Korean at UW-Madison.",

There's homework assigned after each class, but if you keep up with the material, it doesn't take long at all.",

He tries to include TV, music, movies, and culture into the lectures so it's not just straight grammar and reading. There is a lot of repetition, but that's necessary for language learning. He's always super helpful and will answer any questions.",
