Assigns 3 big readings and hours-long videos then have to write a report disguised as \"discussion\" Never had a class this annoying. I'm petty because he thinks this is the only class we take",

Prof doesn't grade anything,hope you get a non-power-hungry grader. 3-4 hrs of reading/class, 500 words min. per reading.Peer review weekly.Classmates shouldn't have much of an impact on my grade. Wanted to learn about Korea before signing up but if you have other classes, takes up too much time and energy",

He sets out the plans for the class or homework and then keeps changing his mind. Say something and stick with it plz most infuriating thing Ive ever dealt with. I never know what were doing in class.",

Class is really discussion based and readings are interesting and analysis based. He's super willing to offer you help on your papers. He's a really chill guy",
