Spring 2024 - Just like other Korean courses, this course is only for those who are interested in Korean history. Because it is an upper-division course, the interest has to be more genuine as the course has more depth and technical aspects. Even though I have studied Korean history from elementary school in Korea all the way to UCLA, the materials were new and technical. That said, if some effort is put in, it is very doable to get an A. Grade breakdown: - Attendance 19% - Class presentation (group presentation) 10% - Reaction Papers (3 papers, 1500+ words) 30% - Midterm Exam (in-class, 2 questions) 20% - Final Exam (take-home, 3 questions) 21%
