CollegeThe class is an easy pass as long as you attend and do the required assignments. 원아 선상님 also tries her best to give you opportunities to receive extra credit, and she's also really accessible so try going to her office hours.
Amazing professor. The only way you don't get an A in this class is if you intentionally skip class. Even then, she offers extra credit that can boost your grade up to 5%. 원아 선생님 was extremely kind and accessible throughout the entire course. Go to her 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!
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.
