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

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.

I really liked this class. I took ASAM130 and it was very reading heavy (like a book every two weeks), but his lectures were interesting and he posted all the lecture audio and slide so you could miss class. I was expecting him to be a harsher grader but he was more generous. Very interesting and knowledgable professor as well.

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.

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.

Professor Park is passionate about the topic but the readings are extremely lengthy for a lower division course, averaging around 150 pages a week. Your grade is made up of 3 essays and you have to be an excellent writer because he is a tough grader. He says he is going to fail 15% of the class so be weary of that. Finally, ask for help.

This professor is decent; he is nice and knowledgeable about the subject, but the class itself was frankly not that interesting. He didn't bring new things to the table that often. Additionally, its insane how much reading is in this class; around like 150 pages a week. Often times, the reading would be repetitive and without much substance.

Professor Park is very passionate about his lectures and keeps class entertaining and makes you want to come to lecture. Grade is made up of 3 essay exams, they are easy, just make sure to do your readings or go to office hours. He really cares for his students, take this class!

Professor Park is definitely passionate about the subject but unless you are really interested in the topic, I would not recommend it. It is a challenging class for a first year so be weary of that, but if you put in the work and go to office hours, you can definitely succeed. There are a lot of readings, and I mean a lot, so keep that in mind.

Prof Park was an amazing lecturer and kept students interested as he discussed complex topic of immigration. Essays were pretty straightforward but definitely require a good amount of effort to get A's. Sections were ok, not very notable. Definitely recommend this class, especially to freshman!
