Younghi Ramsey KORA311 Expecting a B psong 12/10/2015	If you sign up for KORA311 and you've only taken the pre-requisite UMD Korean classes, be very careful. Before entering this course, you are expected to know a LOT of vocabulary words that were not taught in previous courses, yet are not listed in the assigned textbooks. The in-class readings took a huge amount of time because 교수님 had to stop and ask if there were words we didn't know. In addition, these words will often be used on quizzes and tests. I'm not saying this course is impossible, but it will require more memorization than you would expect. You will also have to memorize certain poems for the tests (ask your TA about these). Surprisingly though, we didn't learn that much grammar.

Younghi Ramsey KORA311 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/18/2010	She was such a good teacher in terms of teaching and preparing material for every class. However, her exams were impossible. Make sure you have a nice TA, otherwise, you will definitely end up with a C or a B. I barely got an A and I went to Korean School at my church for a while. Her exams consist of memorizing poems. It's very ridiculous. I advise you to not take this class if you are not minoring in Korean. It's not worth the effort. There is a quiz ever week too.
