Most students, who were present at the lesson, make the shared comment that Oriental medicine contains practical, efficient and easy-to-apply knowledge.
``Before taking the class, I simply imagined that Oriental medicine was difficult to learn because most publications in the field were written in Chinese and the discipline is usually beyond the interest of lay people especially in their 20s,'' said Park Myung-a, a senior majoring in English interpretation at Kyung Hee University in Seoul.
``But I have learned that medical science is no longer a subject only for medical and Chinese savvy students. It is because the professor prepares such intriguing programs as psychological and self-evaluation tests based on Sasang typology for every single lesson to stir students' interests.''
Many students said the lesson has helped them understand themselves as well as people around them in more detail by observing people's physical features that indirectly present their characteristics, temper and even concealed personality.
``I have trained myself to distinguish at a glance what kind of characteristic each individual has,'' said Seo Kang-suk, a freshman majoring in international trade at the university. ``Surprisingly, I could find myself reading other's personality, temper and even concealed aspect. And it also helps me understand myself and my colleagues.''
Students said the current curriculum is a little bit superficial, asking the professor to deliver more in-depth knowledge of Oriental medicine.
