Reviews of professor Kyung-Ah Kim

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Really accessible outside of class via kakaotalk or office hours for extra help. This course is definitely not easy if youre new to the language, but prof Kim is super nice and tries her best to make class relatable/engaging (usually by using kpop and kdramas). Several extra credit opportunities inside and outside of class.

Professor Kim is so understanding, warm and easy to talk to. I thoroughly enjoyed taking my korean classes (101 and 102) with her. Although there is alot of work and vocab (normal for a language class), as long as you go to class & pay attention & keep up with the hw, you will do just fine.

She is very helpful. There are a lot of assignments, but she (+TAs) leave a lot of helpful comments that would prepare you for the exam and also for your personal growth in Korean. You have to memorize the correct answers from your assignments for the exam. So a lot of memorization, but thats the same for all language classes

Great teacher but the course can seem fast paced for some, especially if youre not familiar with learning a language. She is really kind and funny and really cares for her students
