KORA101 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/14/2025 |
100% recommend taking KORA101 and KORA102 with professor kwak! It's little fast paced so I would recommend spending time on duolingo to familiarize yourself with the korean alphabet - it will help a lot during the beginning. She does keep attendance, but it doesn't actually affect your grade - as long as you show up most of the time (even if it is late) she'll still make you present. Every Monday you take a practice vocab quiz, and then every friday you take a graded review quiz. The quizzes are pretty simple - just study vocab and grammar a little bit throughout the week and you should be fine - there were so many times were I arrived late bc i overslept and still got an A on quizzes. Midterm is on paper but the final was online (and in my experience the midterm was harder than the final). You also have to do a presentation on korean culture - in KORA101 it's in english and then for KORA102 it's in korean. I missed my original presentation time but she still let me make it up at the end of class so she's extremely forgiving about things like this! My only complaint would be that she doesn't give out a good study guide to prep for your midterm or final - you kinda have to find a way to prepare for potential questions on your own. |
