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…:/

I loved this class, had my essay topic researched and half written, and was excited to learn about women in Asia, but I ended up dropping it because of one big reason. Professor Jung-Kim grades “best of class” meaning that she pits peers against peers to compete for the highest grade. Not only do I heavily disagree with this grading method, but essays consist of 70% of our grade. Unfortunately, these class consists mostly of international students, study abroad students, and immigrants whose first language is not English. As a native speaker, I do not feel comfortable being pit against them in essay writing as this is extremely unfair to them. Thus, I decided to remove myself from the course. I am also a big believer that anyone who deserves an A should get an A, and should not be graded in relation to their classmates. A peer-research institution such as UCLA should not be fostering competitive thinking of this sort.
