This was genuinely of the best courses I have ever taken. The content was so engaging, the ordering of it was was perfectly crafted to introduce us to ideas, expand on them over the course of the class, and then reference them later on as points of discussion/analysis; the growth and timeline of the course content was masterfully designed. This is all a result of the instructor, Hyeonjin, who was also one of the best instructors I have ever had the pleasure of having. They genuinely cared about their students' success and well-being, and they were extremely engaging as both a lecturer and a discussion leader. They made class enjoyable every time, and I always looked forward to going every week - maybe it was because I liked playing video games in class lol. Aside from the gaming in the middle of class, I thoroughly enjoyed the formula of having the students lead the presentation and the discussion at the beginning of class, lecturing briefly on the content assigned for the following week, and then learning by reading outside of class. It forced me to engage in the very interesting content in a different way than simply being spoken at, and I appreciated and enjoyed how Hyeonjin trusted us as students and gave us independence in absorbing the material, enough to have a thoughtful discussion the week after. Not many instructors do that, let alone professors, and it made me want to put in the effort to succeed and be prepared so our class discussions went well. For being one of the first times this class was offered, it was masterfully crafted by Hyeonjin, and a fantastic and extremely fun course to take. Thank you Hyeonjin! You are truly the best!
