Winter 2022 - I don’t recommend this class. Grade consists of 3 essays, a rough draft, and a final. The rubrics were extremely unclear and grades were very strict. The rough draft was graded not for completion, but with the same rubric as the final. I worked extremely hard to improve each essay yet I got the same grades all quarter.

I thought this class would be hard because of the all the readings, required partcipation in terms to contributing to the web site, taking roll, and talking in class, and because of the pop quizzes. But Jennifer tells us the important things, or the key terms to focus on, and drops so many hints about the pop quizzes such it's pretty easy to know when they are. She gave a take-home midterm which I thought wasn't too bad, and she seems to grade pretty leniently. She occasionally breaks the lecturing of the course by showing us pictures and videos. I haven't gone to any of her office hours, but she responds to email fairly quickly. Contributing in class isn't very hard to do, just asking for clarfication for things during class counts, I think, and you just rant about whatever on the dicussion board, Overall, a friendly professor who make its clear what we need to know, and a lenient grader. If you follow everything she tells to you to do, it shouldn't be hard to get an A in the class. She's also the only professor that I know who has asked the students to post their review of her on this website. I thought that was pretty cool, since most of other professors really don't care. Recommended this class if you have any interest at all about Korea.

Fall 2022 - This class is the worst class I have taken at UCLA. Professor gave grades based on three major essays, but there were no clear instructions about what she expected to see in the essays. She has no information on the syllabus about what you need to include in your essay to get a good grade and doesn't provide any useful feedback for improvement. Her lecture is boring, but luckily you don't need to do any reading for this class. Don't take this class if you want to get an A.
