Reviews of professor I Jonathan Kief

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took him as a first year seminar on Korean history and culture. The class is very reading heavy but they were all very enjoyable stories and, occasionally, a Korean drama or movie. There were 2 essays in the class and the criteria was difficult to understand at first but he really caters to the students' needs and even offers to proofread.

Kief's class has lots of readings, and the class is mainly focused on those. The 2 essays are tedious, but he gives feedback. Class is interesting if you enjoy the topic - otherwise, there are other seminars. He's passionate about what he talks about and I recommend him if you're into the humanities/history. Go to him with any questions you have!

Professor Kief is awesome!! He really cares about his students; he knew all of our names in about 1-2 weeks. The first time I went to his office hours, he provided very helpful feedback, and then I went another time. His lectures are very engaging, and he makes you feel like you know about Korea even if you have never taken a Korean course before.

Professor Keef is nice but a bit awkward, and largely spends class at the board. Would have been nice to have more interaction in a small class size, but nonetheless it wasnt super demanding and he was lenient and available.

Extremely boring lecturer, I dont think even he enjoys the material he teaches. This dude is a talking textbook.
