Reviews of professor Hwaji Shin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Shin is my favorite professor I've had so far. Don't get me wrong, I was a little intimidated at the beginning of the school year but I stuck with it and I've done just fine! Majority of classes are lectures but she is very entertaining and it's interesting material! Do your readings, participate, and you'll be great!

One of the best professors I've ever had. Lectures majority of days, but 95% of the time you will be totally indulged in what she speaks about. It's a very modern class, discussing topics about society from past sociologists and making connections with today's world. Participation is a good chunk of your grade. Tons of reading but just work hard.

Professor Shin is intimidating, but that is only because she has so much of my respect. Great lectures. Good course. AMAZING human being. I loved this class and the topics being discussed are super important. This class is an eye opener. I highly suggest taking this course. There's lots of readings etc, but the value of what you learn is high.

She reassured me that soc is the major for me. She may come off as scary, intimidating and the most difficult. She proves to be just that, but in the best possible way. Her class lectures are very interesting and inspirational. Make sure to do the reading (theyre interesting) they will help you with the one essay you have and the test.

Professor Shin's passion about her subject as well as her genuine care for her students makes her one of the best teachers I've had at USF. Lots of readings assigned for homework but as long as you take notes and class and do the readings you'll be fine.

Professor Shin is amazing! She seems intimidating at first, but stick with it because she is so funny, caring, and inspirational. Make sure you come to every class, take good notes on all the lectures, and do all the readings. She's very clear with her grading, so you know exactly what grade you're getting and why.

She tries really hard to seem intimidating. The first two weeks she tries to convince the class to drop it because she "fails people all the time". Its all a front, the class is kind of a joke. As long as you show up and occasionally participate you'll pass, I didn't do a single reading and got an A. Her lectures can be funny but are not insightful

Shin is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She will try to scare you and she is intimidating. But she is genuine and will teach you more than any other prof at this school. She is so funny and cares about you even if she won't admit it. She will destroy how you view the world but in the best way. Don't be scared. Try your best and soak it up
