The class was actually really interesting and helped me learn a lot! While lectures weren't mandatory I highly suggest going to them since they helped me prep really well for the midterm and final. He began posting the slides online too. Graded on final + midterm + weekly quizzes + four mini reflection papers.
Professor Cho always made lecture engaging and it was a GE that felt very applicable to lots of modern day challenges and issues. Probably one of my favorite courses I've taken at this school. I learned things I didn't know I would and came away with a much deeper understanding of the subject. He also treats his students with respect and is FUNNY!
Prof Cho is very intelligent and being in his presence made me feel inspired to be smarter. He really values his students opinions, time, and hard work. The class itself is not very hard: 4 weekly assignments and you can to pick what weeks to do them, drops your two lowest quizzes, get cheat sheets for midterm/final
The best professor I've ever had. The course material was really interesting and inspirational. The grading policy is also very good. Want to take this course again.
Slides are not posted anywhere so you have to attend lectures.
AsAm8 with Professor Cho was my favorite class I've taken yet. Definitley attend lecture because the slides aren't posted online but lecture is never boring. Quizzes are easy as long as you do the readings. Study guides are given for midterm and final but study beyond that as well. Would def take the class again!
Professor Cho is a really good lecturer! The readings are usually short and if you just skim them you'll know enough to write the discussion posts. If you want to do good on the weekly quizzes definitely go to lecture. The content is also interesting and he tries his best to make it relevant to students.
Cho is an awesome person and really cares about his students. The small class size meant that students often had the space and time to discuss and debate. The assignments consist of weekly discussion board posts and readings, as well as two essays and participation. The workload and assignments were very easy and the class was a breath of fresh air
This class was really fun, informative, and easy. Section is mandatory but participation isn't. There is 1 midterm and a final that were multiple choice and short answers. Very doable if you go to class and skim the readings.
Cho's lectures were amazing! Slides super informative and he always gave examples via videos and photos. Goes into depth on concepts and weekly quizzes are easy as long as you took notes during lecture and skimmed the readings. The end of the class was moved online, but he made lecture recordings and any media shown very accessible.
Prof Cho is a good GE professorlectures could get a bit boring (even as a social science person) and you can tell he gets grumpy with the class sometimes, but altogether the course is fair, interesting, and worth taking if intersectional issues are your thing.
Professor Cho is a wonderful person and teacher. He makes the course very interesting and with very minimal work. There are no papers, and the midterm and final are both online and open note. It is so far so easy and enjoyable. Take it for your ethnicity requirement.
