Seminar on Korean studies

This class is conducted through group work. Students divide into groups, select an element of Korean culture that they want to know more about, investigate it, and give a presentation. After learning about Korean culture, students discuss it to gain a general overview of South Korea. The class also provides students with the opportunity to think about the Japanese culture that they may have taken for granted.
