He was pretty easy, had some interesting topics but had a boring teaching style. He just puts notes on the overhead every day. He allows annoying students to talk about irrelevant stuff that no one else cares to hear.

Good class if you want to focus all your attention on the topic of "RACE". Being White, i felt that this class was mainly focusing on how the minorities in this country have such difficult lives and the white population today should feel bad. I also felt he was very unprofessional. You may call "hip".. but he is tryin to act like a homie in tacoma.

This was a good class, Dr. Cho teaches very well. However I felt the main focus of this class was on racial inequality, most assignments had to do with Asian-American or African-American inequalities in the U.S. Also, Dr. Cho is a young teacher and you can see that in the way he dresses, it is never professional it's always laid back.

Make sure to check canvas at least every other day to see if a new assignment has been posted because sometimes new ones pop up with a short window of 2 to 3 days to finish. There is a lot of reading assignments for this class and be sure to complete all of them. Don't skip class because he will discuss most of what will show up on the tests.
