The two midterms + final are all in-person timed writes (two timed essays for the final), so beware. I definitely struggled because timed writes aren't my strong suit, but he is truly a nice guy who knows his material in and out. Heavy on reading, which you actually have to do because he expects you to reference them in your essays.

Professor Parks class was definitely difficult. Your grade is dependent on 3 essays which you need to read in order to get a good grade. Writing notes for lectures is smart but not necessarily mandatory to succeed. As long as you include the notes and readings in your essays he is a fair grader. But, you cant bs because he wrote the book.

Professor Park was a great professor! He is very passionate about his class and gives honest feedback about your essays to help you do better. There are A LOT of readings each week and reading them is essential (my downfall) if you want to write a great essay. Overall, great class, not an easy GE so don't take it unless willing to put in the work.

prof park is amazing!! his lectures are so informational and go so well with his book/readings he posts! im in his honors section and he is so great, hell even review your essay before you submit it. he is super flexible and accommodating! i highly recommend prof park!!

Took ASAM2 during summer and Prof Park is one of the most enthusiastic professors I've ever met. He REALLY cares about his students and tries his best to accommodate to every student's needs. BUT, there are TONS of readings that you MUST do every week in order to at least receive a C in the course. 4 weekly quizzes & 2 essays! Challenging but fun!

Took this course in Fall 2020. Prof. Park makes u buy his book. Surprised by how this class isnt a writing course. 3 essays in total, each 5-7 pages. There were also weekly quizzes. Prof. spoke too much during lectures and went off-topic. Instructions and rubrics are not clear. TAs are trained to be tough graders. Not a smart choice to fulfill GE.
