She is really tough, and condescending at times. Class is mandatory and can only be excused with an official doctors notes. Homework is graded harshly and she takes off points for any mistakes. There is weekly vocabulary quizzes which I think is the easiest to get points towards your grade as along as you study. The chapter exams are a lot harder.

Professor Pak was incredible. Korean 2 was my first class with her and I really enjoyed it. She managed to make the class entertaining and interesting despite being completely online. Was extremely willing to work with and meet with me when I was struggling with the content. Extremely kind and truly cares about her students.

It is hard to take a language class online, and it is NOT flexible considering the pandemic situation. It's hard to keep up with everything, but she is a caring teacher and the grading is not hard. Just relatively more work than other classes.

Pak was the best teacher ever! Her class has a very fun and relaxed environment even though she definitely is serious about the assignments and the work. She could be a bit intense; however, she still was incredibly sweet and made you feel capable. The class itself was very fun and entertaining, too. One of the best professors at USC! Take Korean!

She may seem tough, but she just wants you to really get to know the language. If you put some effort in, and show that you care, you will get an A. She really cares about her students and constantly gives out candy and food. During the week before finals, she handed out care packages of coffee and candy. She's one of the sweetest teachers at USC.

She is the kindest, most caring professor ever! It was unfortunate that my classes with her this year were both online, but I'm sure her in-person lectures are even better! She is so nice!!

She is my favorite prof I have ever had at USC. She is so, so nice and she wants you to learn Korean! She always gives great feedback and creates an environment where you are not scared to mess up. She gave me so much confidence to speak the language. I wish I could take her class forever. Please, please take her class. She is the nicest human ever

Professor Pak is so fun, and she makes sure that you know the material so that you don't fail. Advanced Korean 1 was about getting grammar correct and knowing when to use informal language. She is attendance heavy so make sure you always try to show up. She also is textbook heavy, but just review it before your test/quiz because it's not too hard

Pak Sooran is the sweetest, she is a great teacher and cares about everyone in the class. She is a very easy grader and tries to understand what you meant, not always what you said. She is the best take her class
