Reviews of professor Hwaheun Kim

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor was nice but had a horrible grading system. Assignments were worth .5 points, 1 point, or 2 points so your grade can go down two letter grades easily. Very unorganized and didn't grade things until the date it was due, you won't know your grade until grades are due a week after the semester is over. To top it off she was a harsh grader!

Kim is not forgiving when it comes to grading. Her grading scale is a point-based scale which isn't bad at all, but she grades on fractions of points so it tanks your grade if you miss even 1 question on a quiz. Lots of quizzes that are only posted for 1-2 days at a time which were easy to miss. She very much overexplains the slides of her lectures

She is easy, however it is hard to keep my focus on her because she spends too long on one slide. Very repetitive. Tests are easy, gives study guides. But I do find myself dozing off during class. Not engaging enough.

Not a hard class, she obviously knows what she is talking about and encourages questions. Lots of quizzes. The worst about her is she over explains topics, but its not too bad. Recorded lectures. Does not offer a lot of time for assignments or time at the end of class to complete them though. Overall not bad.

I was in her class for Fall 2020; the class was interesting. I learned a lot. Her lectures are hugely off the book; so you need the book haha. If you miss a lecture, you can rewatch her recorded lectures (this is during COVID times tho). If you have her in-person, well then just pay attention to lectures so you dont have to read much. :

She puts all quizzes and assignments as 1-2 points each, no matter how much longer or more difficult it is. Making it very easy to drop grade if you don't get full credit. She uploads modules very late in the week so you only have 2-3 days to finish 3 modules. Never responds to emails, so you won't be able to tell her mistakes she made. No EC.

Very hard to follow, lectures were not helpful. Had to teach myself from the book and also gave out homework and quizzes during finals week. Grading system is awful.
