Mr. Park's lectures are always fascinating, even when he goes on tangents about his own experiences or about fun facts. Assigns a lot of reading, so beware. Exams are blue book essays which are graded tough, but fairly. Overall I would recommend Mr. Park's classes for the lecture content. Also, he is very accessible outside of class, appreciated!

Professor Park is the best professor I've ever had! He cares so much about his students, is extremely understanding and adaptable, and asks thoughtful, honest questions. He grades really fairly and lectures in a way that really tells a story. I took this class to fulfill a Global Studies requirement and was shocked by how much I loved it.

hard,hard,hard...lecture were useless, 4 books you need to read. Exam based on the material from the books not his lecture.not willing to answer your questions just asked you to read books...

Interesting class, pretty enthusiastic professor. He gave us study guides for each test, but he might not for future classes (he says we depend too much on them). Really helpful in office hours, so if you take him, go at least once to his office to see what he wants from you in the exams.

He's a really nice guy, and pretty approachable. The lecture is rather easy to follow, but be careful on the tests- he grades according to what other students say, so how you do depends on how well everyone else does. Otherwise, pretty decent class, real nice guy.

Professor Park was one of the best professors I've came in contact with at UCSB. The class consisted of three online essays. He was so passionate about the coursework and overall wanted students to be engaged and do well in the class. I would definitely take his class again
