Reviews of professor Jung Kwak

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr Kwak was one of my favorite professors I have ever taken at UT. She is super positive, caring, and her fashion is flawless. She encourages in class participation for the readings she assigns and I enjoyed the discussions. That being said, the readings and papers can be time consuming so try not to procrastinate!

This class overall was not very difficult, but the beginning of the class there was weekly quizzes and readings. Pick your topic for the semester long paper carefully because you have to write like 4 drafts on it. The final group project was very interesting, but you are assigned partners and if you have a bad group it makes it kinda difficult.

Class was somewhat boring and it was very difficult for me to pay attention each lecture. Dr. Kwak makes you write a paper on the same topic five times which gets really tedious, especially since they nitpick for grammar and exactly correct citations. You also don't get to pick your sources so be sure to read them all before picking a side!

The class itself isn't horrible, but significantly harder than other professors and you really have to work for an A. If you schedule an appointment with her, there's no guarantee that she won't make you wait, or even show up. Then, she makes many assumptions and anything but helpful when reviewing your essays

Lots of reading every week but you need to read in order to do well on the tests. It's a very engaging and discussion like lecture. Dr. Kwak is very nice, personable, and funny. Papers do take some work but are definitely doable. Just don't let yourself fall behind on the tests. Would definitely recommend this professor for this course.
