KOR113 . Hwang S 11 Months Ago

I took Asia 132 (didn't have this class as an option on RMP) with professor Hwang, and I HIGHLY recommend taking any class with her. The lectures are engaging and she makes it an active class. she's humorous, attentive and overall a great teacher.

KOR113 . Hwang S 1 Year, 16 Days Ago

I really enjoyed this class! The lectures and readings are interesting and insightful. She is really understanding and helpful. I definitely recommend this class. The course was made up of weekly readings, weekly short reading quizzes, a multiple choice midterm, and a paper final.

KOR113 . Hwang S 1 Year, 5 Months Ago

I loved this class so much! really unique opportunity to learn more about Korean literature/history, and Professor Hwang is a fantastic lecturer. about 60 pages of reading per week, reading quizzes and one page write-ups, in class midterm, and a final paper. i really enjoyed the material and looked forward to going to class each week!
