Spring 2018 - I adore this class because it was so unique in the sense that I learned something new every lecture that occurred on Tuesday's and Thursday's. I was in the body and performance global studies section for this course, and I'm glad I took it not knowing what to expect. There were a lot of surprises in this class, so it kept me on my toes. I learned a lot about performance art and how much it means to society. I learned about how bodies interact over time with other bodies including death, gender, limits, habits, and other random but useful information. This class is a writing class so there are two essays to complete throughout the quarter. One of them is a performance analysis and the other is a film analysis, so be sure to do those as well as you can because they do count for most of your grade. The rest of your grade comes from attendance, 5 pop quizzes on some of the readings given every class, participation and a group project that occurs at the end of the quarter. The professor really cares about improvement and thoroughly wants you to do well. She knows what she's talking about, so listen. There is an extra credit opportunity to watch her give a K-POP lecture in Royce Hall, so do that because it was 2% of the final grade. Overall, I really enjoyed this class and appreciated that it was in a small group setting.

Summer 2023 - I absolutely loved this class. As a fan of K-pop it was refreshing to be able to take a deep dive into the history of K-pop and how it evolved into the social icon it is. Prof. Kim was extremely engaging and made the lectures interesting, while also going into depth on the trends that built each generation of K-pop (up to gen 4).
