Reviews of professor I sak Kim

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
We had a semester long paper to work on and he broke it up into sections to make it easier to do. Great lecturer and makes sure that his students do not fall behind. Only thing to beware of is weekly quizzes that deal with the previous lab and current lab. Just be sure to review the lab manual before class and you'll do great!

Amazing, accessible, and approachable. He made the content digestible and easy to understand. Answers questions earnestly, and welcomes feedback. Uses lots of examples and references to relate to his students. So funny without even trying, even when he's not purposely making a joke. He is my idol, I want to be Isak when I grow up. My favorite ever!

Hands down one of the best professors in the University. Isak teaches very clearly so that the students know exactly what he's talking about and knows how to properly engage with his audience. The work is mostly lab & was pretty easy. He was always there for help and assistance and is very fair with grading. Definitely an anxiety-free class!

In the lectures, he explains sometimes complicated content, like the neural basis of sensation, very clearly. The questions on the quizzes were very straightforward, no tricky questions at all. Totally fair grader and even doesn't deduct points if most of the class gets a particular question wrong.

Graduate student TA, solid instructor, knows his stuff. Speaks quickly, but will go over content again if you're confused. Helpful and friendly. Would recommend him as a lab instructor if taking HDFS 380. Course content includes semester-long group project and research paper and labs often go for shorter than the scheduled time.

I sak is an amazing lecturer and professor. He is so funny and sometimes I'm not sure if he is joking. His diction is so choice. He really cares about psych, makes a serious effort to break down all information, is very receptive of feedback. Answers questions very well. Non-cumulative quizzes and exams.The word count is catching up to me. Tragic!

All around great professor, knows his stuff and is willing to help when needed. He is very passionate about his work and doesnt mind breaking things down to help elaborate on the material of the course. Although the course had plenty of work, it helped having a supportive professor and TA

Did not need to do any textbook readings. Graded basically only on tests, which were all multiple choice. He drops one test score, so I only attended class for the iClicker that unit. His lectures/slides are really helpful. Just make flashcards and review them for the tests. Easy A.
