Hello Mason,

First of all, thank you so much for offering this wonderful course!
I had few opportunities to do some translation and interpretation work (unpaid/ volunteering) while I was in Canada (Ontario) and here in Korea. This year, I finally decided to take an official test/ get an official certificate in translation & interpretation and your lectures are great help for a beginner in this field, like myself :) I also subscribed to your Youtube channel!

Long story short, I have a concern regarding your comment on my very first homework assignment. You mentioned that it is obvious when a student copies someone else's work (plagiarism), and since I am fully aware of the consequence of the misconduct I would like to tell you that I did the assignment myself. Prior to this class, the office/ 빨간깻잎 told me that I could start studying and do some of my homework assignments through the 예습센터 (I have a quite busy work schedule during the week, and this was a great option for me), so I did the assignment and fixed some awkward Korean/English expressions as I listened to your lectures there (예습센터).
Personally, I am a bit of perfectionist as well, so I wanted to submit the work that is as "error-free" as possible by editing my own work.

However, if you still consider this (doing my homework & edit it after watching your lecture) as a misconduct, I will just submit my first draft.


Thank you again for your consideration.


Sincerely,



SUNGEUN JO

p.s. It would be helpful for me to know if you grade the homework assignments based on "completion" or "Accuracy"
