Spring 2022 - Professor Park is not at all a great professor, and I would not recommend taking her. She obviously is well-educated within her area of expertise, but that does not translate to how she teaches. Her lectures are incredibly confusing and do not follow a set theme, she does not listen well to student feedback (although she claims that she does), and she kept changing course requirements well into the quarter. She somehow made an interesting topic like Constructing Race incredibly grueling.
