week 9 optional: Try this course!

  I have a few optional courses in this semester. One of them is called ‘The understanding of the play and the movie’, though I’m not sure if it’s correctly translated. When I plan my schedule, I chose it because merely I heard that there is no mid-term exam. Another reason was that I like to watch movies.

   Instead of the mid-term, however, there was a report assignment about the play. I had to go to Daehak-ro(대학로) to watch a play. It was quite bothering because there was so far from both the Chongshin University and my place. I also had to arrange time for it among the mid-term period. Moreover, I expected the lecture to be about the movie so that I don’t have to study for it, but it was almost about the play.

   Despite all of these, I am very satisfied by the class. The play was an attractive genre than my thought, and understanding the play was such an instructive thing. In the most valuable works, I could learn what life is like and how to live as a human. It was interesting that the writers had nothing to do with Christianity but the themes were very close to what we are supposed to concern about. Furthermore, I could thoroughly consider about the biblical view of the culture and the human. The most fascinating part, however, was the professor. I felt like I was watching an entertaining show every class. Literally, his motion, gesture, face and words were like comedian. It was very amusing. In addition, the lectures were not really difficult to understand.

   The class is both on Mondays and Tuesdays, and in each class there are about 8-90 students. Now I know why. It’s totally worth taking it. If you didn’t pass the course, I strongly recommend you to try. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed as long as you have the least interest and passion.
