DO NOT TAKE ART WITH HER! She's very unfair in her grading. Any papers are graded like you're in an english class and most papers and art works need to be resubmitted (so there's really no point in trying hard 'cause you'll have to redo it anyway). If at all possible take art with someone else.

Eun Hwang is a good art teacher. I have taken two classes with her and have learned a great deal from her. The only difficulty for me, in her classes, were my drawing. I love cartoons and it showed in my drawings. She encourages her students to draw more realistic drawings. :P She allows redo's and is very clear in detail and explanation.

Prof. Hwang is a wonderful teacher and is passionate. Those who do not like her are usually the people who got on her bad side, and they probably gave her a reason. She's tough but if you really want an A you can get it. Attend class, participate, take notes, study and you'll do great. Her accent is strong but she repeats if you ask, w/o offense.

I absolutely LOVE Professor Hwang. I took nine classes from her and walked away from each one with so much more knowledge. She's tough and she expects a lot, but she will give you the tools to succeed if you spend some time during her office hour. If you're looking for an easy class to had on to a semester, this is probably not it.
