Reviews of professor Catherine Ryu

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This professor expects you to put much more work into her class than she does herself. What she wants is never clearly defined and she never grades anything so you have no idea if you are doing well in the class. She is so awful she made me consider dropping my Japanese major with only one class to go since she will be the professor.

I've taken multiple classes with Prof. Ryu. I love her as a person. She's absolutely fantastic... but some people just aren't meant to be teachers. She's great at giving feedback, but I find she does not accept student concern and difficulty, though she will listen to it all day long and make you feel like you're being heard.

I was able to pass the class but at the expense of dealing with this now retired professor's bad behavior. Do not take any classes taught under her, she is pretty dishonest, extremely slow at grading, told me to drop out because of my work-school balance, told me to do a 3.11 Triple Disaster presentation but she never let me do it.

Nothing this professor wants out of the students makes any sense. Demands are extremely unclear, nothing ever gets graded so you have no clue where you're standing, and feedback is never given until you've finished and turned everything in. Easily the worst professor I've ever had. Do not take unless absolutely necessary.
