Reviews of professor Kyung-Ah Kim

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Kim is a sweet professor, and one of the professors who handled the transition to online learning (due to COVID) well. The class is challenging but remains interesting and felt like a fair class. There are a good mix of tests and vocab quizzes, but generally it is easy to ace the quizzes with some studying. The tests are more challenging.

The professor is an extremely sweet person who is very relatable to students. Class gives a ton of homework but it isn't horrible if you stay on top of things. 16 quizzes in total and 7 tests. No pop quizzes though. No final, just fun and easy project. Lots of opportunities for extra credit both inside and outside of class.

Professor Kim is the sweetest teacher you will ever meet. She genuinely cares about her students and will try her best to make sure you understand. The tests can get difficult so you have to study. There are a lot of quizzes and exams, but she does study guides for them.

Some days seem very pointless and without much content. I leave class feeling unaccomplished. All assignments except tests are graded for completion. So unfortunately there are a few students that were leveled up to Advanced even though they cannot keep up. The professor loves to mention Kpop and dramas constantly (if you are into that).

Truthfully, I made an account just so I can rate her. She replies to all messages fast, is caring and considerate, and the tests aren't that hard. You'd have to try to get lower than a C in this class. If the class average of a test is low, she makes the next one easier since she wants everyone to get high grades. Amazing professor!

New professor to BU. Very nice person, helpful, cheery and good professor. She will try to help you out if needed. There's a decent amount of work to be done. She follows the department protocol so be aware of tests, quizzes and homework. She may try to change the workload around to better suit students now that she's more experienced.

Confusing grading system results in things being calculator down to .1 points! Class time is wasted and some assignments make no sense. It is sometimes infuriating to see a low test grade because she takes .5 pts away for TINY mistakes. She seems sweet and willing to help but...

I LOVE professor Kim. She's so friendly, funny and understanding. She makes learning a new language fun, engaging and easy (if you put in the work). Her tests and quizzes are fair and easy if you study. If she realizes that you aren't doing well on an assessment, she'll have you to come in for tutoring to make sure you understand the topics.
