Reviews of professor Bora Park

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Do NOT take this class unless you have absolutely nothing else to do with your time. The amount of things being graded is INSANE: mandatory attendance with iClicker polls, recitation and Perusall (60+ pages/w.), policy memos *and* exam papers. This class alone is easily a full time commitment and I've given up on getting even a half-decent grade...

Lectures were 5-10 minutes long but with lots of pages to read each day very tough grader with average final grade being a 65%.

She was a great professor. Although she always had Iclicker they helped when it came to writing the midterm and final. Overall, she as the best prof for poli sci that I have had so far.

Super monotone while giving the lectures, reading basically off the book. Made it super boring and it's a difficult course if you don't read the book.

She's really enthusiastic and cares a lot about the course material. However, the class is graded by a few assignments and if you get a bad grade on them, you can anticipate a bad overall grade. Her TA also graded really harshly for no reason. You don't have to go to lectures to get a good grade but the class was not super interesting overall.

Dr. Park's lectures are basically her reading from her powerpoint, and she goes too fast for anyone to take notes anyways. She didn't give us a rubric for a big paper until after we turned it in, and the class is graded off of like 5 grades total, so if you mess up once you're done. Dr. Park was my only option, but I wouldn't choose her if I could.

Most classes are her just reading her long lecture slides which review the information from the assigned reading. If you do the reading then you're set. You only get graded on a few things and they're all essays, so it's hard to do well but most grading is done by recitation TA's and she was understanding with covid.

She was very considerate especially during a pandemic was very understanding and provided students with weekly outlines to review if they got behind in the class
