Professor Ahn was great. She answered questions very clearly and had interesting, understandable lectures. While there's a lot of homework, none of it was busy work and all of it further built on what we learned in class. I'm so excited to have her again next semester!

Professor Ahn was so much fun. She is clearly very knowledgeable and makes her lecture easy to follow. She uses Korean and English in her lectures so it is always easy to understand what is going on. She is also very easy to contact outside of class and was very understanding of me. I will be taking more classes with her for sure!

She is the best! 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 !

I love Professor Ahn! She's super caring, makes lectures interesting and engaging, and really listens to feedback. Korean can be pretty difficult, but Professor Ahn made it fun and easy to understand. I hope I can take another course with her again soon!

Professor Ahn is incredible! I enjoyed her lectures and she's always so kind and understanding! TAs were also awesome! Definitely should attend lectures as the notes are pretty important but as long as you attend lectures, discussions, do the homework assigned, and review your notes, you should be fine! Would take a course with her again!

An amazing Korean professor. Notes are well organized, and quizzes and tests aren't too difficult. Just put in some work to learn and you're set.
