Shin is a great professor. He doesn't waste your time -- he just gives you all the information in lecture in a clear, precise, and organized format. He is also a really nice guy and totally willing to talk outside of class. The reading was kind of dense and some of it was necessary for the exams which wasn't that pleasant. Nevertheless, the class is totally reasonable with a scant two exams. He also gives you a study guide for each and the guide is really helpful. If you go to lecture and get the main points from the reading, you sure to learn a lot and get an A. The material is definitely helpful and has helped me with my other classes. I definitely recommend this class!

Prof Shin is always around in his office. Talk to him if you have any problems with your reading/notes. He doesn't tell you all the answers but he is willing to spend time to guide you to the right direction. His reading is really thin compared to other classes but make sure you know everything because his exams can be difficult in a sense that he's looking for specific details. Try to give examples to any points you make in the exams. I agree to the previous posting that you need to do alot of work, but it's manageable and fun!
