Had to be the easiest teacher I've had at Macomb. He lost my test 2 times, so he gave me a 100 % on both tests. He likes to talk alot and be kinda funny. But, he understands there is more to life than just school.

I only say the class is easy because of Mr. Park's talent for making the sometimes morbid subject of psychology not only endurable, but fascinating. In today's society, if a teacher tries to contact a student, especially a belly-shirted mtv female one, he is labeled creepy. Nuts to that. He's legit.

Tests are pretty easy. Don't really need the book, just study your notes. He gave us a couple take-home exams, too. Long, but not hard. He's sexy too, somehow!!!!!!!
