The best aspects of this class were the open discussions, the six-party talk simulation, and the engaging and enlightening instructor. Many students thought the amount of reading required was quite large and rated that the worst aspect of the course. Lowering the amount of reading for each class was the most common suggestion for improvement. Prospective students should know that while the workload can be high, the course is a great addition to the East Asian studies and is recommended.
