Cho is an awesome person and really cares about his students. The small class size meant that students often had the space and time to discuss and debate. The assignments consist of weekly discussion board posts and readings, as well as two essays and participation. The workload and assignments were very easy and the class was a breath of fresh air

Very nice and understanding. I would recommend him, his lectures are intriguing and the way he structures class makes it so your grade isn't depended on one of two things. I've taken two of his classes, definitely have to read, but cna get away with skimming. It all comes down to a group project, weekly quizzes and a final paper.

This is Cho's first year teaching at UCSB and he's pretty great! Class was super interesting and great discussions in lecture. Readings can be long sometimes, but they're not horrible and aren't hard. Responds to emails fast. 40% participation (attendance and discussion boards), 20% quizzes based on lectures/readings, 15% midterm and 25% final.

The best professor I've ever had. The course material was really interesting and inspirational. The grading policy is also very good. Want to take this course again.

Slides are not posted anywhere so you have to attend lectures.

AsAm8 with Professor Cho was my favorite class I've taken yet. Definitley attend lecture because the slides aren't posted online but lecture is never boring. Quizzes are easy as long as you do the readings. Study guides are given for midterm and final but study beyond that as well. Would def take the class again!
