Reviews of professor Yena Kim

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
had her when she was new and just started teaching at HPU. didnt have quizzes and offered corrections on exams (might change for future classes) you learn by practicing math problems and by looking at examples. I suggest using Mathway for online HW to help and review sessions in class and review practice problems before exams were very helpful.

Her notes are from the textbook then she explains what she writes down. A tip is to take picture of her notes, and just listen to what she is saying. She will explain the concepts really well if you have a question just ask! She gives the minimum amount of hw to cover each topic. Know your algebra, no Calculator, quizzes are easy.

If you do not have prior knowledge (from high school,etc), this class may be difficult for you. However, professor Kim does try her hardest to explain the content. There are weekly deadlines for the homework. Professor Kim is sweet and understanding. I enjoyed her class.

Everything that she teaches is based off of the textbook, but I strongly recommend attending class because as long as you know what she taught you then you are fine. Study practice exams that she post because thats basically how the mid-terms look like. The recitation was off the topic since she did not have a good communication with TA

This class is verbatim the Textbook. She writes down everything straight from it. Midterms are exactly like previous ones so study those and there's a common final. She gives you opportunity to be successful but you gotta work for it. Recitation is complete waste of time and only hurts your grade because it's completely off topic or not completable

The way she teaches the problem is fine, but once she gives out worksheet. It is the hardest worksheet and is even harder with the problems she taught.

DO NOT TAKE YENA KIM FOR MATH 1130. Our current class average is 57% and Kim refuses to allow retakes/curves/extra assignments. I went to speak to her about our grades and she said "study harder". I spoke to an advisor who straight up said to me "I've been trying to get her fired for years. She designs the class to make students fail." Take Gefroh
