CollegeProfessor 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
loved my classes with him. very intelligent and office hours really help to drive at what is important in class. great professor! DO the readings!
He has a JD, try to keep up with his summarious lectures by doing all required readings.
Professor Park is very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject. He assigns a lot of readings which can be difficult to understand and complete. 2 midterms and 1 final which are all in person written essay exams. Pretty difficult class but worthwhile subject
The two midterms + final are all in-person timed writes (two timed essays for the final), so beware. I definitely struggled because timed writes aren't my strong suit, but he is truly a nice guy who knows his material in and out. Heavy on reading, which you actually have to do because he expects you to reference them in your essays.
I started off poorly in Professor Park's class because I didn't cite readings. While I felt discouraged at first, I enjoyed his lectures and found the subject engaging. Once I went to his office hours I saw how easy it was to succeed if you do the readings for understanding. I ended up going from a B- to an A in the class.
