Easily the best professor ever!! She is awesome because you actually learn and gain real insights. Please bring back the kpop classes. I miss it so much :(

Neurohumanism was an overall amazing class. The content itself was intriguing and professor Park is an incredible lecturer. The grade comes from attendance, midterm, and an essay. The material is quite dense, but the grading curve is *very* generous so there is room for error on the midterm and essay though neither are too hard if you study well

European Modernism. Lengthy, deep lectures once a week. Grades on midterm debate and final paper were hidden to students. Textbooks included a handful of short, inexpensive paperback poem books. Class inspired me to read and write more.

Literature and the Human Mind. So worth taking. Grade determined by 3 grades (attendance, midterm, final paper). The grading scale is quite generous, but the subject matter is difficult. Favorite professor at UCSB thus far.

DONT TAKE THIS CLASS! idk why this class is categorized as an English class considering it was heavily science-based. the midterm wasn’t an essay; it was a written exam on the anatomy system;which there was hardly any guidance on how to study for it. It’s an interesting subject but poorly led. I would have hated it more if not for my TA.

This was such an interesting class and subject matter. Sowon is a very skilled lecturer and has a soothing voice that is easy to listen to. She's also very smart and insightful, I'd highly recommend paying attention to her lectures. Also very understanding and lenient towards students and extremely friendly.

This class was crazy unorganized and prof park seemed completely oblivious when students said that they thought so. The class basically required regurgitation of 15 short readings, two novels, and a bunch of miscellaneous quotes that she decided to put on the slides. Allowed no room for actual engagement with the material.

She is, without a doubt, the best professor I have ever had. What she will do is make you a better reader and a better writer. Definitely go to her office hours! She is so wise and very earnest in her method. Just an overall classy character.

Life-changing if you listen to what she says. As much a literature class as a set of lessons about what it is to be human.

Really amazing professor! she knows what she is talking about and isn't afraid to make you work to understand the material. To be honest, I would say this is one of the most difficult classes I have ever taken, but you get something out of every class you attend if you put the effort in. She really just wants to help students achieve their best.

I learnt so much from her class! Despite the group discussions in our seminar, I still left each session with many notes of explanations given by her. She is a very eloquent speaker and presents points and theories in an intelligent, but easy to understand manner, with examples which students can relate to.

Have no idea what the person below is talking about. Professor Park is one of the best teachers I have ever had, giving considered and enlightening lectures in a caring and deeply insightful manner. Very challenging but also one of the most rewarding things I've done. Thank you professor Park!

Worst professor ever. She's super mean and does not know how to help her students. She does not know how to teach and looks at your face with a blank look when you ask her a question. She makes you feel like you are dumb. Worst class ever. Would never take any class with her again.
