Spring 2024 - Just like other Korean classes, if you are not interested in Korean literature and movies, this class can be painful. However, if interest, this class will be very enjoyable. The professor goes over multiple literature and movies that have common themes or contrasting themes. She specifically picks literary works and movies closely related to significant historical events in Korea, making these more engaging and fun. This class does have quite a lot of readings, but it is very manageable if you are on top of work. There is no exam, and the grade is heavily based on weakly reflection postings on readings and movies, which are 300 and 200 words each. There is no midterm, and the final is a 7-page essay, which is not so hard to get good marks on. That said, if you are thinking of taking this course just for GE req, it may be a great idea to look for other courses.
