Professor Interview: David

1. Please introduce yourself.
- My name is David. I'm 31 years old and married and I'm a GEO teacher.

2. Why did you come to CUK?
- Because other universities don't want me (Ha Ha^^) I think the tasks in CUK are very challenging because the programs like GEO is relatively new compared to others.

3. Are you enjoying GEO?
- YES!!! Absolutely, YES!!

4. What is your ideal student?
- My ideal student is one who doesn't worry about their mistakes and, of course, I like a hardworking student.

5. What is your favorite food?
- gop-chang(곱창) and chicken

6. What are the differences between Korean students and American students?
- Korean students are pressured to learn foreign languages and they respect the teachers; but it makes problems because students are afraid to talk and express their opinions. However, in America, of course they respect their teachers but not like Koreans. I think that's why American students are good at expressing their opinions.

7. Do you have any difficulties because of Cultural differences?
- Not really. I have lived in New York and there are many foreign people who live there and they have these kinds of problems. So that's why I don't have any hardship living in Korea.
