Reviews of professor Richie Kim

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's a really nice guy and takes into account how hard online learning is. There are two exams, one quiz, and a final paper. If you do badly on the exams, it will be hard to recover. The only homework are short philosophical readings due before class. He goes over them so it's not too hard. He picks interesting material and is really dedicated!

Professor Richie really teaches us how to think and encourages us to be original and argue with him if needed. Lectures are SUPER interesting, remember to take notes. Reading can be confusing but he goes over it in class. He is an amazing professor, thank you for a great semester!!

I took this class to fulfill the breadth and Richie is amazing!! He remembers everyone's name and his class is super interesting. The class is pretty hard and the concepts are hard to get; sometimes I misunderstood the whole class. The discussion online is fine, extra credits are pretty easy to get, but the tests and paper are extremely hard

Prof Richie is incredibly passionate and insightful! I'd sign up for any class he teaches. He works very hard to make the material engaging and accessible and is always excited to hear from you.

Does not give clear grades and complained about his class writing bad papers, but offered no constructive criticism or ways to improve. Was inaccessible for help on improvement outside of class.

Richie was a great professor, I would say though that the material is quite dense and you do have to pay attention in lecture to really understand the material. The midterm tests are basically the topics that he says in class that are going to be covered. He is quite the character and you will grow to love him. PARTICIPATE IN CLASS!!!
