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

Professor Park is so passionate and knowledgeable about this class, which really helped me absorb the information. Attendance is not mandatory; he records lectures and posts slides. His office hours are also extremely helpful! The section is also optional, but you have to notify him of your opt-out if you choose that route.

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.
