Professor Kim

I am so very happy to have information on North Korea! Although the Koreas tend to get the short end of the stick North Korea really gets short changed…there just isn’t enough material regarding North Korea, so I enjoyed the portion of Professor Kim’s presentation that covered this.

Having the opportunity to discuss the readings was insightful…especially with the ability to ask questions about this less known region of the world. I was truly surprised to hear that North Koreans can travel outside the region and tourists are allowed to enter North Korea.

I may have said this before, but I really did learn something about my own students with this series of lecture on the Korea’s…I once had a student come into my class in tears, I inquired what was wrong and he told me he received a B+ on a Math Analysis test, I said, that’s great what 's wrong with that? He said, Ms H you don’t understand my father is going to kill me… This young man was truly devastated by his grade…I knew it was a cultural thing but I did not get it till now! Education is not just valued , it is extremely important to the Korean family!
