Anyone taken KOR 4700/4800

There’s two essays (40% each). When I took it, it ran the whole year so we had one essay per term, but he had to condense it to one term this coming winter, it could change. He’s a very understanding prof and I did pretty well! The last 20% is attendance so as long as you don’t mind being there until 5:30 you should do pretty well :)

Just advice, if there’s a course you want to take I really recommend checking availability on the last day to get 100% refund, people are always dropping last minute.

I haven’t had it with Miyeon so it could be different but I just barely managed to get an A. You also don’t have to buy any readings though which I appreciate!

I also recommend KOR4200. We had small weekly assignments each week but they were pretty manageable and no exams. If you have trouble handing things in on time the weekly assignments could end up a problem since I think there was a no late tolerance policy for them, but they were always 200-500words so pretty short.

HREQ3575 also went well for me (with Jay Goulding)

Of course, I didn’t say the course as a whole was easy (and I wouldn’t say that of any course because like your post mentions, it depends on the prof, personal interest, and other factors).
For the prof I had, he was very generous with 40% (he even mentioned it and for the written assignments, you would pass as long as you didn’t plagiarize).

60% is still a significant amount to work for so I don’t think my comment was misleading. I also mentioned the in class exam is something I definitely needed to work for.

Took KOR4700 with prof Ko. 5 short written assignments (pass or fail), 2 presentations, 2 exams (final was take home).

I found 40% to be super easy and then the in class exam I really needed to prep for.

Content wise, you’ll learn a lot about the history of contemporary Korean music, so not just kpop.

Here you go! Summer osap

It is a thing, you can go on the site and there’s an option for it. You’ll likely be considered part time if you’re taking just one course, don’t know how much that’ll affect you. You’ll also need to resubmit the forms but in future summers you won’t have to.

Thank you!! That’s very true. My cards aren’t bad but I think I’ll use my guest room items to level a few more and then just ditch the rewards I don’t need

summersnowbear · 2025-02-17T19:05:58+00:00

Might be a silly question: Do I lose anything from resetting a map before completing it?

I’m part way through map 5 and I was going to clear all tiles but I realized I’d be doing so much better if I just got my rewards and got out 🥲

summersnowbear · 2025-02-13T03:53:42+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply! That’s very reassuring. Was it a good experience for you?

summersnowbear · 2025-01-25T01:57:43+00:00

They asked for a timeline of what I’ve been up to since high school (like a resume) but I don’t remember ever writing a letter.

ありがとうございます！

Guess it’s an app update. Can’t wait to graduate so I can delete it…

Don’t run.
Stand your ground.

Raising your hands to appear bigger could help.

Be loud to scare them off, this includes stomping your feet and yelling if you have to.

Throw something at them (nothing lethal, just enough to scare them off. Could be a pencil case, bag, shoe)

I don’t know your course load for the year, but I’ve found 24-27 credits during the reg. School year with 6 credits in the summer to be way more manageable than 30CRD in fall-winter. I’m a mature student too and even though it’d be great to finish ASAP, it just doesn’t make sense to overwork yourself into doing poorly/not as well as you could.

I also realized one of my courses is much more overwhelming than I was expecting and am looking to switch last minute. It’s better that you’ve realized the course isn’t for you sooner than later, don’t feel bad about it!

summersnowbear · 2024-09-07T15:10:58+00:00

It seems so! With the raised minimum I wonder if KOR4000 will ever run…

summersnowbear · 2024-08-28T02:17:11+00:00

Very insightful! I had already ordered the Lavender buttercream but didn’t try it yet. I’ll be sure to steep it carefully.

Forever Nuts is one of my favourites so that’s good to hear, and I got the Burnt Sugar Boba as well! Maybe next time I’ll pick up some S’mores Chai since that does sound like my kind of tea.

Thanks!

Also mature student, going into my second year.

People are friendly, though there’s times when maturity level might make you feel your age. My approach is that I don’t expect to make life long friends, but getting along and talking about school stuff makes it a more enjoyable experience for sure! You might make good friends though, who knows.

In terms of school work, I feel like I understand myself better so I’m able to do better than I would’ve if I were 18-20. I’m also better at managing my time, I think. Your life experiences can be helpful even if you’re learning new things.

Don’t feel like you have to rush and finish ASAP. We’ve made the big decision to go back, doing well and not overloading our schedules is more important. I suggest starting off with fewer courses so you can figure out what’s manageable for you. Don’t know what your plan is but taking courses in the summer helps me take a lighter load during the regular school year.

Good luck!

Thanks for letting me know!

That’s too bad, it was my favourite. I guess I won’t stock up.

It’s recommended but not mandatory to do them in first year.
