Reviews of professor Jihyun Park

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Park is great and really easy to understand. All you have to do is follow the directions and turn in work on time. She gives a lot of feedback if asked. 
Note: Participation matters and there are video assignments where you have to film yourself.

Great professor! Very understanding when asking for help. Korean textbook is required for class and hw. Speaking Korean is required during lectures. A midterm and final video project. The class is a bit fast-paced for people who are not familiar with the language. Learn Hangeul ahead of time. Exams are easy if you study the material.

Professor Park is incredibly kind and a wonderful teacher. I was very intimidated to take Korean 001, but she made it feel like learning a new language was absolutely possible. She always has a smile on her face and is so caring with her students. She always responded/answered questions very quickly. Probably the best teacher I've ever had!

This teacher is nice but I currently take her class once a week and it's so rushed. She also has no office hours, especially since its online. She also barely grades my assignments and once I told her why I couldn't go to her class because Canvas wasn't working she never fixed my attendance. Overall I wouldn't take this class again!!

Very easy class, especially if you like to learn Korean. Quizzes and tests are straight from the book with some modifications so you can say it in multiple ways. The good thing about this class is she encourages you to use PIP learning to memorize, speak, and pronunciate Korean words and sentences. Gives you lots of resources outside class.

She's the most caring prof I've ever met & I already graduated from UCI. I wish I had a professor who is as concerned abt student learning when I were an undergrad. The materials are top notch, too, a lot of PPT's for lecture, self-study. There's nothing like this at 4 yr university bc you are expected to study and learn on your own.

A great professor to have if you are beginning your journey to learning Korean. She explains things in a clear and concise way and is happy to explain South Korean culture and quirks to any student that asks. Participation is quite important to this class as there's no way to get better at speaking a language if you don't practice so be prepared!

I would definity take her class again. She is a very caring and understanding professor. She made the class fun and interesting. I took the class in the summer. I knew nothing about the language, so the 8-week class was very rushed! I should have taken the course in a regular semester, when more time is spent on each chapter. But do take her class!
