100DD . Park J S W 3 Years Ago

Professor Park is an exceedingly empathetic, kind, knowledgable, and caring human being. He explains things wonderfully and is always open to comments/questions. As long as you attend class and listen to his lectures you will be fine. I highly recommend him for any student at UCSB.

100DD . Park J S W 20 Years Ago

I also enjoyed his class, he uses powerpoint lectures and expects you to do the reading. He is VERY accomodating, just talk to him, encourages students to use office hours, esp to talk about paper, even provides books to use if you're stuck.

Professor Park is very a knowledgeable and inspiring lecturer, and the content of this class is fascinating. However, this class has a huge amount of dense reading (up to ~120 pages/week). Your grade will mainly be based on three essays on select readings, and grading heavily varies by TA, so a C paper to one TA may be an A paper to another.

ASAM154 . Park J S W 10 Months Ago

I swear, it feels like he's doing everything in his power to make you drop his class. He's passionate, but it's overshadowed by his dedication to intimidating students. John acts like his lessons are tougher than rocket science. Instead of motivating students to learn, he seems to do the opposite, creating a discouraging environment for students.

Park is extremely passionate and does so much to make sure his students are supported, including tons of office hours (online and in-person) and a field trip for honors students. This class is TOUGH though: too much weekly reading and exams are graded harshly. Would not recommend as an easy GE, but I learned a lot from him and his class.

Professor Park was one of the best professors that I have encountered. He is such an inspirational immigration scholar who gives "dad advice." The class is reading-heavy (and frankly, I have thought about dropping this class), but I could not be more grateful for taking this class in my first year of college. I will surely take his class again.
