Winter 2024 - Professor Jung-Kim is really nice and helpful. She allows a 24-hr extension for essays as long as you ask for it - no questions asked. However, the two essays worth 70% of our grades which makes it quite difficult for people to bounce back if they messed up their first essay (I’m sure you can tho). No, we weren’t pitted against each other (for the previous reviewer) - she just grades pretty harsh. I’m one of the Chinese-speaking students in this class and let me tell you - many of my ESL peers write AMAZINGLY despite their accent when they speak English. So come down to Earth and get rid of your native speaker savior mindset…:/

Fall 2022 - The other review sounds more so that the student is upset over her grade and trying to find any sort of justification. So many students in that class were transfers, or people of color, me included. She was always inclusive and analyzed history from different perspectives. I will say, your grade is based on 3 essays and a project. I did not do the best on them, but I did not put a lot of effort. She definitely grades based on how much effort you put into the class, participation, and asking questions. She moved her office to accommodate & still taught through the TA strike, making it comfortable for us to not feel pressured to walk through the picket lines. She outlined events that we can go to learn more about topics & always asked for input. She excused absences as long as you tell her ahead of time, I went back home to help out my sister-in-law who was a new mother and she was so supportive, hence why I definitely don’t think she discriminated against the single mother. She also provided longer extensions than I asked as long as you give her an early notice (and not last minute). She is a harsh grader, but she is open to explaining grades and what not. The material was nice to learn and I plan to take another class of hers. I definitely think the creative project is what brought my grade up to an A-.

Spring 2017 - I felt like I didn't learn anything from this class, and She insulted me for my faith. I am Christian, and I was truly offended multiple times throughout the quarter. I do not respect her, and basically if you are Buddhist you will enjoy her class. I am a feminist and I enjoyed the feministic aspect of the class. Be ready to write a lot and know that there is a bias in her grading. Tip for people taking her: Pro-feminist Pro-Buddhist papers will get As.
