I love prof kun. She is really an amazing and caring professor. She is approachable and really cares about the students and clearly wants them to do well. I love her down to earth attitude- she is so smart and yet takes the time to not make anyone feel silly even if they ask silly questions in class. She is a really sweet lady and great professor.

Im loving this class. This is my fave course and she is my fave prof so far. Great prof and sweet lady whos inspirational and knows her stuff. The course is not super easy tho. U gotta have a scholarly/not theological approach so its new to me, but she explains it well and teaches with passion. U gotta do the readings and come prepared to class.

Id take her class again in a heartbeat. Smart, interesting, caring and loves to teach. Fluent in English with a European accent. Not thick unless youre a different race and or only speak English and live under a rock with no multicultural experience. Class is on par with similar huma ones re required readings and difficulty. Not a bird course.

Depends on your TA. She does get off track and give trivial examples but its not annoying. A lot of long readings though. Have to be good at analyzing literature to be able to get a good mark

She's pretty nice. The formats of the tests changed this year, so they're all short answers. For the test you HAVE to mention and focus on the Themes and what not, otherwise you wont do as good. Read sparksnotes along with the books, so you get a full understanding. If you have her for tutorials, try to participate more and she'll favour you.

A lot of reading to do, as well as 2 essays, 2 tests and a final. Participation in tutorials counts. She has a thick accent with slightly boring 2 hour lectures.

I was personally not interested in huma classes, but after being in Prof Kun's class, it really sparked my interest and intellectual curiosity. She is a wonderful prof and human being. She is knowledgeable and can really teach. She also cares about the well-being of her students. I highly recommend her and this class. I learned a lot.

By far the best professor at York. She makes the material understandable and crystal clear. She is genuinely one of the nicest professors at York. Would definitely take another course with her. I love Prof. Kun!

Best huma course and best prof to take a huma with at York. Huma courses are reading heavy and hard with mean boring profs. But dr Kun makes the lectures and materials engaging and interesting. You need to attend lectures and tutorials. Pay attention and you'll do well! She gives a lot of tips and is a fair marker and helpful. I love her!

I'm taking Huma 1105 with prof Kun over the summer. I was dreading taking a summer course but I love this prof and the course. You learn a lot. There are a lot of readings but prof Kun knows her stuff and explains the material well. She teaches with a passion and is an amazing prof. She's also a fair grader and gives a lot of solid tips and advice

One of the best amazing profs at York hands down. Knowledgeable, engaging and passionate. Surprised (and not) at the ignorant remarks re accent given TO diversity. Fluent English with euro accent. Loved her and the course. Most others felt the same. Highly recommend! Only haters gonna hate- lazy entitled fools. Ur not in high school...

Dr. Kun is honestly the sweetest lady! She does have a thick accent, but you won't even register it after a few lectures. You don't need to go to the lectures to pass, but you NEED to read the material. Her tests aren't terribly hard, but if you study you will do well. She told me that the only way to fail her course is to never show up! Love her!

Comment:

Professor Loredana is such a sweetheart. Please ignore the last 3 ratings. Her accent is thick but after a few encounters with her, you hardly notice it. You WILL pass the class only if you do the readings, which are straightforward. The only way of failing this class is not attending tutorials and not doing the readings.

DO NOT GO TO HER CLASS She made an interesting subject boring, and her accent was sometimes too thick to understand. I will never choose this class again.

She teaches with a thick accent. It is really difficult to understand her at times which makes this course difficult. Course grading is based on 4 tests/ assignments.

There are A LOT of books to read for this course. You need to read up to like 7 full novels. The entire set of books cost around $300. Novels are like 300 pages each. So in total, you have to read 2100 pages for this course. 3 tests in this course which are HARD if you do NOT keep up with reading... She teaches with a HEAVY accent and is NOT clear

Dr. Loredana Kun is such a sweetheart and truly cares about her students. Although she may seem intimidating to some, she truly means to help her students achieve the grades they deserve. There is a lot of reading, but her tests and essays are graded quite fairly. I strongly recommend joining and participating in her class(es).

Comment:

Very passionate but not the strongest lecturer. Can go off topic A LOT. Easy for a 9 credit course. Two hour tutorials were torture! Did not try to engage discussion. The lectures were not helpful, just recapped the readings. Just gives same format for all essays and midterms, feels like not a lot of effort is given to the students.
