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.

Graded by 4 response papers, 1 midterm paper, and 1 final paper. Had short weekly in-class writings that were credit/no credit, and you could skip 3 out of 10. Attendance not mandatory, but he doesn't post lecture slides. Material was easy to understand and it is clear Cho is passionate about the material. Highly recommend- not a difficult class!

The class was actually really interesting and helped me learn a lot! While lectures weren't mandatory I highly suggest going to them since they helped me prep really well for the midterm and final. He began posting the slides online too. Graded on final + midterm + weekly quizzes + four mini reflection papers.

Professor Cho always made lecture engaging and it was a GE that felt very applicable to lots of modern day challenges and issues. Probably one of my favorite courses I've taken at this school. I learned things I didn't know I would and came away with a much deeper understanding of the subject. He also treats his students with respect and is FUNNY!
