Student Reports
How hard is the A?
A is doable but not automatic
The signal here is more do-the-work-and-you-should-be-fine than easy-A chatter. Students do not describe the A as automatic, but the evidence also does not paint grading as punishing.
Homework Load
Moderate homework load
Homework load looks moderate. The recurring signal is steady weekly work, but not a course that turns every assignment into a grind.
Lecture Load
Lighter lecture burden
Student comments describe this as more discussion-, seminar-, or workshop-driven than lecture-dependent. The lecture burden itself does not sound like the main source of friction.
Strengths
• Students repeatedly say the course teaches something concrete, whether that is content mastery, research skill, or a strong foundation.
• Discussion is a clear strength; students repeatedly describe the class conversation as engaging and useful.
Tradeoffs
• There is no single dominant complaint theme, but the feedback is not uniformly glowing either.
Best fit for
Best for students who want substance, not a disposable elective.
Watch out for
• A large share of the evidence comes from one instructor's version of the course, so this may not generalize cleanly.
Student Responses
1. Discussion/communication skills 2. Engagement with class and professor 3. How to participate freely in a college class (especially being a freshman)
Spring 2024 · Kim, Eunyoung
We honed our skills in written Korean as well as practiced our ability to read Korean in order to improve our comprehension understanding of the language. We also engaged in discourse and analyzed a lot of the social and political issues present in South Korea, past and present.
Spring 2024 · Kim, Eunyoung
I learned grammar, Korean culture, and how to write better as this was the bilingual class.
Spring 2024 · Kim, Eunyoung
I learned a lot about Korean culture and the ways culture impacts language and vice versa. From Korean media to historical Korean folklore, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of my culture and a greater appreciation of my background.
Spring 2024 · Kim, Eunyoung
I had only been using casual words to speak with my parents, so I had never had to write formal papers and learn the differences in conjugations/endings for different situations. We also learn so much world news related things about Korean, such as the economic state etc. that are actually applicable to life.
