Reviews of professor Hwaji Shin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
One of the best professors I have taken at USF. She does some off very intimidating at first but is super funny and nice! There is a lot of reading, and this course is only based off a few things, midterm, final, participation, discussion, and is based off off point system. She is honestly great! you have to make the effort and communicate with her

Intro to Sociology is a class I would suggest anyone take even if they aren't a Sociology major. This class positively changed the way I see the world and I am more than grateful to have had Hwaji Shin as my professor, that woman is amazing. Also, the lectures were definitely top tier just be prepared to take some good notes.

Prof Shin was chill. She really cares about her students and what she is teaching. She def comes off as strict but it is because she wants all of us to succeed. She's always there to help and always makes her lectures very entertaining. Participation and attendance do matter, plus the main assignments are a discussion, final paper, and an exam.

I LOVE Professor Shin. Her lectures are absolutely wonderful and you can clearly see she is passionate about what she is teaching. She is so intelligent and you can learn so much from her. Just show up to class, stay up to date on readings/films, and participate in the discussion! Would 100% suggest taking her course!!!

Love of my life. Shin will teach you more than you can imagine. She will scare you in the beginning or the whole time but she will also make you laugh and cry. She loves you even if she pretends she doesn't! take her even if you're scared!

I loved professor Shin. She lays out her rules for the class on day one and supplies the student with everything they need. She has the best lectures and cares a lot for her students. Be prepared to read the texts she assigns, they are very important and insightful. Dont be too worried about the class, youll be fine as long as you pay attention.

Professor Shin is my favorite professor this semester. Funny, passionate about sociology, and genuinely wants her students to succeed. Very reading heavy, and doing readings before lectures is key to success. Only has one multiple-choice exam, one group discussion, and one final paper. Take this for social science + to learn about inequality in US.
