Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is a good professor and really patient. Although it may be a little bit hard to connect him by email, but overall he is an excellent professor. Slides and grading scheme is clear, and is really patient.

One of the best profs Ive taken. Really brings out the beauty in the algorithm of the models. Articulates all the ideas so clearly. On top of that, is super understanding!

Having Lim's ECO364 is by far my worst experience. He failed to design the course properly and sacrificed my grade: although the exams and homework are extremely hard, he made them all take-home, causing an average of A+ (you guys know why). Then he curved down the whole class and my grade falls from A+ to B. I earned that mark, this is so UNFAIR!

If you think this is a bird course, think again (at least it was until fall 2019). Kevin decided to boost up his difficulty apparently and the class average for the midterm was 51%. I'm pretty scared about the final now, and plus he refused to curve the midterm, said "if the overall is not a B- I'll consider curving". Lectures are great thou.

Professor Lim is always very patient when answering students' questions. His lectures are really detailed and clear. The problem sets are really helpful for preparing exams. The course content is not very difficult, but you need to be extremely familiar with all the calculation steps in each model to get a high grade. Once again, he is soooo nice!

he talks too fast and read slides, 60% of class is empty with many students leaving not even halfway through class, hard midterm, the female students are rude and unresponsive to other students, clearly many students are rude to everyone... dont ever take the course with him, wait for a different prof, worst experience

Prof Lim explains well in lectures and in great detail. However, his problem sets and exams were really long and SUPER difficult. The slides can only help you so much. If you do not understand the material super well, you will get stuck on the questions. His midterm and final were the hardest and longest exams Ive ever taken (even when its online)

Not going to lie, lectures can get dry, but the prof is super accessible outside of class and the material itself is pretty clear cut.

This is the hardest course I have taken in University thus far. I failed the midterm, while the average was a 50. Kevin is actually a decent professor but the course material is just too damn hard. Everything was counterintuitive to me, and I had to end up memorizing a lot in hopes of getting a decent grade. That didn't happen.
