One of the best classes I've taken so far during my time at UCLA. The class was fun and engaging and the atmosphere in the class was relaxing and great too. The professor was kind and offered great and helpful advice during office hours and in class. There were also group conversations for 15 minutes and I had a nice time talking with the other students. This class did not have midterms or final exams and the class was once a week. The grading varies but 15% is based on attendance, 5% on participation in class, and everyone has to take part in one group presentation which would be also 5% of your total grades. There is also weekly discussion based on the readings for that week but they are reasonable as the professors give students a full week to prepare and it is also 35% of the total grades. The professor also requires us to watch 5 movies and write a discussion as well and 15% of our grade. For the finals, it will be based on a final paper between 8 to 10 pages and will be 30% of your total grades. The class reading was engaging and fun and students will also be able to learn a lot about classical Korean Literature for those that are interested in this class. While it is up to everyone's personal choice whether to decide to take this class or not I would recommend it as I had one of the best experiences in this class and would take another class with this professor again if given the opportunity.
