Reviews of professor Richard Kim

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Dr. Kim made course content very interesting and engaging. Despite taking the once-a-week section, 2.5 hours once a week, his classes somehow never dragged on. I genuinely enjoyed listening to Dr. Kim, and learning course content. A very good and effective teacher.

I haven't met a professor who is as enthusiastic about what they teach as Dr. Kim. His tests are easy if you do the work and study and he keeps the class interesting.

I only had Professor Kim for a couple of weeks but I truly found his classes engaging where you truly won't get bored. He's really fast with emails and understanding/lenient about grading. I was able to understand the content for Philosophy easily because of him.

Dr. Kim is one of the best teachers I have ever had! His lectures are super interesting and he asks questions that get the whole class participating. I would recommend doing the readings because although he lectures on them, the quizzes are specific to the readings (only takes the highest 10 quizzes). Definitely would recommend taking him!

Richard is great! This is not a hard CORE class to get an A in. He is very clear about what he expects and his study guides outline everything on the tests. As long as you do well on 10/20 reading quizzes, you will get 100% for that grade. He is also HILARIOUS!! Take him!!

Dr. Kim is great. He is funny and genuine, answers emails super quick, and is always available for help. Class is set up with reading quizzes, logic quiz, midterm, paper, and a final. Reading quizzes every class, but he takes the best 10/20. Definitely recommend taking him for Phil 181.

Really liked Prof. Kim because he has amazing asynchronous lectures and is very easy to talk with if you need help. Had his class online over the summer so the material was more condensed but all of the readings were very relevant to the lectures.

Dr. Kim is a great choice for PHIL core. Lectures were never boring, he always engages the class and looks to hear your opinions before he begins lecturing the content, so it's really well-tailored. He teaches the material really well and is easy-going and good-humored. Outside homework is minimal and final was open-notes.

Richard Kim is an amazing philosophy professor and overall kind person but I didn't think his class was a breeze, as some of these reviews insinuated. I can see why people love him but I felt the quizzes, midterm, final, and logic exams were tricky, even being open book/open notes. He is a generous grader, but the class does require effort.
