Reviews of professor Juman Kim

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Class was pretty boring, yes. But his tests were easy and there are many opportunities to receive extra points from attendance, quizzes online, and extra credit assignments. Other than that, the class is two papers, a midterm, and a final. Not a hard class at all, I just wish the lecture was more exciting.

He talks and talks and talks. Has a tendency to let student discussion control the class to the point where you can't get through the content. The midterm was pretty easy, but the essay question was completely incoherent. Essays have unclear grading criteria, but not graded harshly. Overall an easy class if you're willing to sit through it.

Jeez... leaves you with unclear instructions for papers and exams. Today he got through 4 slides- gets too carried away with his own rambling and pretty much operates the class off of discussion and what students have to say. No one knows what's going to be on the midterm. He's probably the most disorganized professor I've had.

I wish I could give him a higher rating because he seems like a great guy but the set up of his class was not great whatsoever. For a 200 lvl class there was an overwhelming amount of reading & grades were based off of a midterm, one paper, and the final. Study guides were completely unhelpful as were instructions for the final essay. DO NOT TAKE!

Ridiculously unstructured and unhinged class. Can't believe I'm paying to hear students shout over each other. Take any other professor for the theory course.

He would show up 15 minutes late every class because it was "really far." After the first few weeks he "lost" the slides for the class and winged it every day. Left for two weeks w/o explanation. Work itself was very minimal and required little effort. He's also a very easy grader and gives extra credit if you speak up. Easy, but a waste of money.

Lectures not succint with reading material and does not flow well. Kim is generally not clear with instructions and assignments are pretty open-ended. I wouldnt recommend if you actually want to learn.

This is the second class I have taken with Professor Kim. He is so nice and understanding. He knows what he is teaching and will answer any questions. He is very funny and makes the class very interesting. I am not sure what the bad reviews are, probably people who didn't ever read the textbook. Reading is crucial for this class.

We were supposed to get our final paper prompts last Wednesday. It is now nearly Saturday morning and we still have not received anything. Boring, dry, and pointless class.
