Taken for Intro to History. Don't wait 2 get out early here. Readings can be long but he grades pretty easy on responses. He challenges you to do your best on papers and seems to really care if you do well in class. He taught the subject well, and was well organized without excess homework. I will never forget what a historian does after this class

he is nice but does not explain well what he wants on papers. boring est class ever.

Prety easy Prof. He learn every ones name in the class and will drill people for answers. Not a hard grader just do the work and he will give u the grade. He is a new teacher so this style is a littl dry but i think in a few years he will be very good. During the begining of the class he used some interesting way to get the point acrossed after dry

The class is easy. He has an outline for the class and gives you all the essays and terms that will be on the test. There is one paper. I would recommend taking this class. He goes kinda fast during lecture so i recommend printing off the lecture notes before hand.

Born in Korea, Grad school in UCLA, research in China. This young dude is a sage in the making. English isn't perfect, but personality is friendly and accommodating, often funny and always trustworthy/credible. Yet his lectures are pretty standard, formal and lame. Don't expect wild tangents or memorable class discussion.

This class did not have many assignments, but the largest part of the grade was the research paper. If you go to the writing center and are good at research papers in general you will do well. Exams are very easy. The questions are the questions on his powerpoints, so you just have to make sure you know the answers to those.

Come on guys, Ahn is a cake walk. Easiest prof I've ever had a SVSU. The reviews are bad on here because he teaches a lot of freshman courses and they don't like his accent, which isn't even that bad. He lets you redo papers, gives you the quiz questions! He's so easy. If you don't get an A you're just an idiot.

ONE assignment for the whole semester, a paper. other than this just show up, and take notes.

I don't know what all of these negative comments are because Ahn is fine. Yes, you do have to study to do well in the class. He was helpful and really nice when you talk to him. Apparently I have done the impossible, because I did get an A as my final grade. I would take him again!

Great teacher, with high expectations! This class will go well just as long as you read, study, and do as he asks! If there is ever a dull moment, he does not mind helping you!

Dr. Ahn is awesome! He knows a lot about China, he has interesting stories to tell, he provides interesting material, he's funny. I have nothing bad to say about him. I would take any class taught by him. Just make sure you PRINT THE NOTES and fill in extra information he mentions. Act like a college student and you will succeed.

Yes, Ahn uses an 100 point system but as long as you study and attend class, you shouldn't have any major problems. Everything he says in his lecture is on the test.

I thought overall the class was easy, the map quizzes are most difficult b/c its on you o find them but he will help if you're unsure. As long as you study the notes and do the paper you should leave with a good grade. some find it hard to understand his accent but I had no issues.

Pretty easy course. Did not enjoy it at all, but there wasn't anything too difficult about it. Definitely attend class though!

Ahn does have an accent but it is not that bad! I only had trouble understanding a few things he said throughout the entire semester. His tests are not meant to trick you. Everything on the tests should be in your notes if you follow along during class. He is a nice guy with a lot of knowledge. I would take him again.

He wasn't all that bad if you pay attention and record the answers for the test on the study guide he gives you. His accent took a little getting used to "Facts" was pronounced "Faxes" but if you go see him about the answers and make sure your right you will do fine.

He has a heavy accent, but honestly it isn't that bad. He is understandable. He hands out a map quiz, then we have weekly readings, and three exams and a final presentation and paper. IT is a really easy class for communication intensive. Also, you gotta show up to class. He lets you miss one and a half class sessions or you fail.

Like everybody else said, hard at first to understand but you get used to it. No textbooks are needed, but there is online reading that is mandatory every week. He keeps his lectures interesting and makes known what you need to know for the exam. This is my second time taking him and I would take again if needed.

Dr. Ahn is definitely passionate about history, and it shows in his lectures. Many people have complained about his accent, but it's really not that bad at all. He is probably the best lecturer I've had so far - he keeps class interesting. Lots of easy discussion board assignments, but otherwise not much reading. I definitely recommend him!

Ahn Is a good teacher. if you like teachers that are less hands on and more lecture then this is the perfect teacher. Or if youre like me you will be bored out of your mind because all he does is talk the whole class. Not a hard teacher at all but he is pretty boring if you are more hands on. However because he is easy Im taking him again

Dr. Ahn is very passionate about history and this really comes through in his lectures. I thought he made his exams very easy to study forhe gives you all the questions. Though he suggests buying the textbook, I found I didnt need it. The one paper was pretty easy as he went through an entire lecture on how to do it. Overall, great professor.

Dr. Ahn is a good teacher. He is very engaging and most of his presentations are interesting. He sometimes randomly starts screaming though, so be careful for those who are easily startled.

Dr. Ahn was a great professor, with funny, and engaging lectures. He really does care about his students and will not take away points for being absent but will check in with you to see how you're doing outside of school. Great professor, only a paper, 4 map quizzes, and a few exams.

Goes over material in-depth and if you have any questions he is willing to answer them. Be prepared to read and write a discussion every time you have class, but otherwise not hard and extremely friendly.

I loved these lectures, it was like being read a story! SO interesting!! I did not like the number of projects we did, we had like 3 quizzes, a paper, and exams and he says he's an easy grader, but I studied quite hard and only got 83%. He didn't give us a map for the map quiz, and told us to look it up on Google. Google was wrong, so I was wrong.

I really enjoy Dr. Ahn's lectures. He is very good at painting history in a way to try to get students to understand WHY they are learning the things they are. The biggest problem is the way the class was structured. The entire class is only out of 100 points, and he is a very tough grader. I still recommend the course, just be well-studied.

Professor Ahn is the best instructor I have ever had in any educational setting. The lectures he gave were genuinely inspiring and memorable. I found myself discussing the course content and my experience in class with friends and family.

Dr. Ahn was amazing! He truly cares about his students! There are a few map quizzes and written exams, then a paper on "Things Fall Apart". He uses the decimal grading system and always explains his grading. He's passionate about the course material and about teaching. I actually looked forward to going to his class!

Dr. Ahn is an entertaining lecturer and makes history easy for those who don't necessarily like history. There wasn't a lot of reading to do outside of class and only one major paper. His accent is easy to understand and get used to.

His lectures are entertaining, and his knowledge is unmatched. He is from South Korea, so a class about East Asian history and philosophy is his expertise. He also has very interesting stories about his own family's traditions and his travels throughout Asia.

I took him for history 215 which was East Asian History and loved his class. His lectures are so full of life and you can see how passionate he is about teaching. I learn so much from his lectures and he makes lectures enjoyable. He has discussions, a paper, and some exams but nothing too hard. I recommend him for any Asian history class!

The professor is very passionate about teaching, make sure to attend class and you will be fine.

Whole class is just lectures. If you attend, it should be easy to understand. Lectures are interesting. Exams are all written, no multiple choice, which makes the class more challenging. The class is made up of 100 points, so there are not a lot of grades.

Very interesting class, as he is Korean himself. Lectures are insightful and make you think about how you should learn more about other cultures before passing judgment. Nice guy, too.

Overall, Professor Ahn is an amazing professor. My only complaint is that there are barely any grades, mostly the exams and map quizzes, so it is important that you do well on them, as they can heavily impact your grade. He loves to crack jokes and make his students laugh and feel comfortable. He does lecture for the whole class period as well

Dr. Ahn's lecture style is very animated, so lectures are much more interesting. He also puts the terms that you will be tested on at the beginning of the powerpoint, so you dont have to take a lot of notes. Exams are done in a short response/long response format. He has high standards for exams but if you follow his expectations, you will do fine.

Dr. Ahn is a great professor, tho goes off on useless tangents during lecture. He gives you every question that will be on the exams to study from. If you are able to pay attention during the long painstaking lecture and you put in the effort to study, you will do fine in this class.

I am not a fan because I don't really like history and had to take this for my gen eds. Overall, class was not too terrible, but he skips through lecture slides very fast and it is hard to keep up, all of the tests are short answer as well. He also seems to enjoy what he teaches, which is nice.

Dr. Ahn is very passionate about what he teaches. His accent is very easy to listen to and if you have trouble his slides have more than enough to cover what he is saying. He grades quite tough for such a low level class and there is very few points available. The class is very easy to pass, but difficult to get an A.

Show up, take notes / study the given lecture outlines, don't miss / put off a lot of minor assignments (every point matters) and you'll do fine. Sometimes the assignment instructions / guidelines can be unclear, but all you have to do is ask and he is happy to help. Very in-depth look at the topics covered and interesting lectures.

Funny, animated, and will go to great lengths to help you if you ask or approach him during office hours. He cares. As for grading he is tough but fair. Read what he assigns and show up to class and you'll pass easy.

Lectures are interesting and attendance is required. Take notes on the powerpoint slides in class and study those and you will be fine.

The professor has a clear, lecture-based teaching style and explains material effectively. He adds useful detail beyond the slides, and exams reflect what is covered in lecture. The pace can feel fast due to the depth of material.
