I Loved Professor Im (Mitsunaga)
Her lectures were very clear and straightforward. She makes her class feel welcomed and is very personable.

This class is super easy and the teacher is super nice and helpful. If you are doing badly in the class, she will offer extra credit to raise your grade. Everything is very straightforward and to the point. Also, the teacher is just really nice and understanding. She will help you if you need it.

I'm taking Korean 2 right now which is a bit harder, but Korean 1 is very easy and fun!

I took two years of Korean with her (save for one quarter when she went on maternity leave). She is literally the nicest person, but so intimidating haha I can't even explain why.

The class gets hard around Korean 3 because there are so many new grammar patterns, but it's no fault of the professors, I just didn't study very well.

If you start doing bad on your tests (like I started getting C's) and go to her office hours she'll offer you little bits of extra credit, but even if you aren't doing bad she'll help you. She makes class easy and fun and she really was the greatest professor.

I've taken Korean 1 and 2 with her, and because of her,I decided to take Korean 3 next quarter. She is super nice and tries to make every course stressfree. It seems that she is the kind of person who never gets angry. She explains grammar and vocabularies very well, and her exams are pretty easy. If you come to every class, and listen to instructions, you will definately get an A or A+.

I highly recommend professor Im (AKA Mitsunaga.) Class is stress free and way easy, yet I still feel like I've learned a lot. She's super chill and plays Kpop before every lecture. She speaks without an accent in English, yet her Korean pronunciation sounds spot on, too.

She takes role and attendance is part of your grade. Same goes for discussions... in fact, you learn just as much in your sections, almost like a second lecture. Expect a vocabulary quiz every lecture starting week 2 or so, but don't worry because they are really easy and always have extra credit problems. Her tests are very straightforward and she pretty much tells you exactly what's going to be on there. Also, expect group/video projects.
