Julie Park SOCY410 Anonymous 11/07/2024	Let me start by saying that Dr. Park has been nice and I never got any rude or unprofessional vibes from her. However, her class is not structured well. There is a required textbook that she bases most of her lectures off of. However, she goes through lecture slides fast, and she often skips slides. This would not have been a problem, but she literally refuses to post lecture slides. She thinks that if she posts lecture slides then students will stop coming. I have had several classes where lecture slides were consistently posted online and the class had a good attendance rate. And then on top of not posting lecture slides, she doesn't want to make study guides for midterms. So now you're consistently going to class but you have missing chunks in your notes because she skips slides and won't post them. And let's be real no one is fully reading the textbook. The mid-term exams also have these very specific questions and even if you answer the question correctly, she'll take a point off because you missed some random very specific detail. Overall, I don't think anyone is doing poorly in the class but some adjustments need to be made. Posting lecture slides and study guides does not mean that students are gonna stop coming. Posting them means that you care about your students and you want them to do well and have solid material to study for exams.
Julie Park SOCY410 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/05/2024	Dr. Park is a super kind professor. Lectures are super interesting. Two midterms worth a total of 35% of your grade and a final project. Lots of very small and easy take-home assignments or in-class participation. Goes really quickly through the slides. Often shows videos during class.
Julie Park SOCY410 Expecting an A- Scholarly 12/19/2012	I can't believe Dr. Park only has 2 stars. Workload: -Readings -Min. 5 Page Paper -2 Small assignments that supplement the project -Project poster board and presentation -Midterm -Final Her syllabus was very clear in what she expected of her students. On the 2nd day of class she presented us with the requirements of the project and paper, which weren't due until near the end of the semester. She was very well prepared and always professional. Her power points are great, but she doesn't share them. She wants you to show up to class!!! GO TO CLASS!!! She isn't a boring professor. The concepts are a little tough, but she explains and relates them in a manner that makes sense and questions you to think. Like any SOCY class, discussion is always demanded. I LOVED how Dr. Park split us into small groups to come up with our collective ideas and then brought us all back together to go through everything as a class. She then took our group notes and made copies so that everyone could have an identical set. Her tests are all short answer (2-6 sentences). She always has an excellent review to prepare those that have been paying attention and taking notes. She is VERY friendly, nice, and has a sense of humor...unless you're constantly hounding her. She does her best to make sure her students succeed and grasp the ideas, and does it in a great way. She is very good about replying to emails. ** RECOMMENDED PROFESSOR**
