Jennifer Cho AAST498G Expecting an A Anonymous 05/23/2024	Dr. Cho is an amazing professor that you can really connect with. She truly cares for her students and loves teaching this course. The course itself is structured more like a seminar/ discussion type class. I got to learn so much about my classmates and the histoy/ topics related to Asian American Women and Gender. I can tell how passionate she is about Asian American Studies and I definitely recommend her! Although her assigned readings are hard (and I had no prior knowledge/ experience with many of the topics we studied), I was still about to get bits and pieces from the texts and formulate my own thoughts and ideas. Overall, this class was an asset to my learning, and I loved it!
Jennifer Cho AAST498G Expecting an A Anonymous 10/10/2023	Reviewing Dr. Cho before Spring schedules get picked to convince people to take her! She's an great professor as she cares a lot about her students and doesn't expect too much out of us when reading difficult texts. The class format includes Perusall readings (1-2 readings, three comments per reading) every Tuesday and Thursday, one group project on a class-related topic (seems easily doable but I haven't done mine yet), a reflection paper (for credit grade), a critical response paper, and a contribution to a class zine (honestly looks really fun). Our class time consists of small group discussions and just class discussions about the readings. Our assignments are paced well throughout the course and I don't feel overwhelmed with the readings. However, please only take this class if you're willing to talk in class. People barely talk in our class and in a group of 20 students, it gets awkward and just becomes a waste of our time. Dr. Cho definitely encourages any conversation. The only complaints about Dr. Cho's teaching I have is that sometimes I feel like her questions about the reading are harder to answer/don't really lead to a discussion. I also have a harder time understanding the readings sometimes so with more sophisticated questions, it's harder to feel confident in an answer. I also wish we covered more current events? I understand this class has to include theory and history, but I really enjoyed our recent readings on MRAsians. Overall, I am happy taking this class!
