Comment:

Dr. Cho is absolutely fantastic. Her methodology may seem off but youll realize at the end of the semester you learned so much. There are 4 books and theyre cheap. There are book quizzes on BB, theres two exams (one she made take home,) 2 presentations, and an 8 page paper. Extra credit like CRAZY!

Comment:

Prof Cho answers emails back pretty quickly and you can always give her a call during office hours. Her syllabus is very organized with two discussions and a very short quiz a week but grades best 4 out of 5 for example. Theres more assignments but overall a good class. If your into the subject and don't mind the workload you'll like this class.

Comment:

I was excited to take this course but she took it so far and beyond what it needed to be. Spent all this money on 4 books and we could not even use them to site a 8-10 page paper. I understand a lot of work but this was just way too much for a 3week course. This was easy for her because she teaches it every semester, copy and paste was all she did.

Comment:

I was really excited to take this class. I am very interested in the subject matter. If I could change one thing i wouldn't take it in the winter and definitely not online. Gives a research paper and tons of assignments which in my opinion were too much for such a short amount of time. I worked really hard and found myself spending a lot of time.

I really loved her class. She can sometimes be difficult to understand, but her enthusiasm about her subject is contagious. She is always happy to repeat herself or help you understand anything you missed - and she's a very fair grader.

Comment:

The most annoying professor I have ever had. You can't understand her, she explains nothing, tells you nothing, and does not help you at all. She will drag out conversation to reach the very last minute of class. She assigned a paper every class (no other seminar classes had to write more than 1 paper) But I went to her class 5 times and got a B

I took her class online. There is a lot of work for a gen ed class but it is worth it. I learned a lot. She is very clear in what she wants and answers emails quickly. Not an easy a but still a great class.

Comment:

Professor Cho utilizes many types of teaching materials - books, movies, news footage, etc which brings this era of history to life. Her knowledge of Hitler is excellent. She is tough but you will learn everything you ever wanted to know about the history of the Nazis and the persecution of millions of people.

Comment:

Possibly the worst class ever - about such an interesting subject. Thought I would learn a lot, but didn't. Quizzes were misleading, but when questioned, she did give points back. how many times did I get 1 wrong & not question though? HARD,HARD,HARD. Self guided tour through 8 textbooks, no e-mail response when asked ?'s. Hitler took over my life.

Comment:

Dr. Cho is a great professor. Her assignments are challenging yet very interesting at the same time. She limits the readings to exactly what you need, although you may want to keep on reading. There is a research paper, but it can be on almost any related topic. You will have to work hard for your grade but you will learn a lot.

Comment:

Definitely NOT the type of class I was expecting and hoping for. She is impossible to follow, the textbooks are ridiculous, and I didn't learn a thing. It's unfortunate, too, because I am very interested in the subject.

Took her class online, was a bit worried about the amount of work expected, however, it was easy. Quiz each day based on readings and movies. If you keep up, you will do fine. I got an "A".

Comment:

She's a good professor, although you have to get used to understanding her and if you have a rowdy class, she has trouble keeping control of the room. My experience with her was so good regardless that I took a second class with her online. She's a generous grader and is very clear about her expectations. I would take her again gladly.

Comment:

I took her online class for a 3 week course. After reviewing the 4 pages syllabus i tried to drop the class but would have lost 50% of my tuition. My advice is to read the syllabus twice at first appearance it's not as bad as it looks. Overall not a bad class but you have to do the reading and stay focus.

she offers extra credit and her notes are weird and she is unorganized but she is very nice and okay you can understand her but she does have an accent. she is there to help though if you need it. class itself was boring but she isnt bad or very hard.

Comment:

It is a little hard to understand her because of her accent but other than that no one should have any complaints. She is extremely knowledgeable and can hold a class' attention. As long as you pay attention the little work she gives you should be pretty easy.

Comment:

Very interested in her own subject, but impossible to understand. At times it actually seems like she lapses from english to chinese during a lecture. The notes she gives are random and unintelligible, following no path through history, but relating random crap together. Overall, bad.

Comment:

I took her online class. Let me just say your time is dedicated to tht class if you want to pass. But if you dont understand something she has no problem explaining whats going on. I didnt get my A but i passed with a B. I never met her but she seems really cool and knows her stuff. Only take the online class if your on top of your school work
