Reviews of professor Minsun Kim

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The course is straight forward. A 5 minute audio chapter overview is provided each week. She gives the specific pages of the chapter so you don't waste your time reading what is not needed. 1-2 written assignments each week plus a test each week. Some questions are worded poorly or intentionally tricky. Overall, a reasonable amount of work.

4 exams, 3 current events, 2 case studies, and a 2 part company analysis. With all the reading and assignments, this course was perfect for busy students or working professionals. Dr. Kim's grading criteria is very clear so check the rubric to ensure you are meeting all requirements.

Very basic class.  Two case studies, three current event papers, all of which are very reasonable in length with a clear rubric.   Company Analysis that is 4,100 words that is broken up over two weeks, but seemed easily graded.  Weekly tests straight from Powerpoint lectures, never read the book once.  Strong accent but she gives a script. Easy A.

I took this class because Kim was rated pretty well. The level of work was about the usual demand of other classes, writing assignment every week, sometimes 2 ( had to choose ur own topic), and weekly quizzes. What made me withdraw from the class was the TA that graded my assignments was ridiculously difficult. Which forced me to withdraw or fail.

You will find this class particularly easy if you're a good writer. There are a couple of writing assignments and a 2 week long paper. If you follow the rubric, you will get 100s. I did find her exams to be somewhat difficult. There are 4 exams for a total 360/1000. The course layout is also very nicely organized. She also offers 2 extra credits.

There are 4 exams, 3 current events, 2 case analyses, and 1 4,100-word term paper split over 2 weeks.  There are also 2 chances for extra credit.  Overall, not a terrible class, but would not recommend doubling up with another class, as it does not promote a good work/life balance.  Would take again, but only as a single class.
