I love Wona sunsangnim. She truly cares about helping her students learn and organizes many in-class activities to do so. Be ready to have homework every night, but her grading criteria is very clear and she is very accessible by email. You also don't need to go to office hours to ask questions because she often fosters kittens and you can say hi.

The class moves really fast, however, it is easy to pass as long as you show up and do your homework. She makes it so that your grade is not overly weighted on tests but rather on participation and homework. Do not take the summer session if you have no prior knowledge of Korean or at least be willing to put in effort at the beginning to catch up.

i took the full two year Korean series with her and it was such a great experience, if you can take this class i highly highly recommend!! second year is more work and it moves quickly, so don't underestimate the effort it will take to get a higher grade, but its 100% worth it. she sometimes brings her adorable foster kittens to office hours

She is genuinely such a kind professor, she understands and cares about your situation. The environment she fosters is just unlike any other and really motivates you to learn while interacting with your peers.

She is a really cool teacher and likes to make jokes and or talk about her foster kittens. There are a few out-of-class projects but they don't take long and you have to purchase a textbook/workbook. With that, her classes aren't boring and she likes when you interact with your fellow peers.

Wona is a great language lecturer. Language class in a three-week session is at a crazily fast pace, but Wona really knows how to make the class creative, engaging and enjoyable. All grading except for tests and exams are based on completion, so it is an easy A!
