Tests are kind of hard but his curve makes it very fair in the end. He's young and relates to the students well. Lecture slides are well organized and easy to take notes off of. Seems to be a cool guy and it shows he loves what he does. I'd recommend him.

He wants everyone to learn and tries hard to get students to get more involved in discussions, but can become easily annoyed by students with the wrong answer, which of course makes students not want to throw out potentially wrong answers. He does make the class very easy to get a good grade in .

I was at Citrus between 2004-06 and while I was there Dr. Kim and Dr. Lubisich (history) were the two best professors I've had. He doesn't seem to get the respect he deserves - PHD from UCLA - and he only looks 21 years old! If you're a serious student and looking to transfer to a 4 year or just learn I recommend taking Intro Psych with him.

I took his drug/alcohol class. He clearly distinguishes which drugs are bad, which are hype, and offers a fresh perspective I didn't expect. It's not another "just say no" class, it makes you think. Difficulty, it was OK. When reading the book focus more on the history & impact on society and just gloss over the complex chemistry stuff.

Professor Kim is by far one of the best professors I've had. He makes his class so fun & just makes you want to learn more. There is no homework what so ever, he uploads power points onto canvas, your grade is basically your attendance, and test scores. Participating helps too. Just make sure to study the notes & to read the chapters you're on.

AMAZING professor who cares about his students and teaches in a "student friendly" manor which helps understand the topics entirely. He is hilarious and straight to the point with literally NO filter. I took 3 of his courses, always looked forward to his lectures. Tests are simple if you pay attention & minimally study.

Professor Kim is super funny and all of his exams are based off of lecture content. There are 3 midterm exams and he takes the best 3 out of 4 and drops your lowest grade, depending on how you did on all of the other exams. Overall, he is a great professor and I highly recommend him.

I took his online class and it was fairly easy. You were only graded on your test scores and the tests were very easy to complete and get high scores. He always emailed us something encouraging or related to psychology. I would definitely take him again if he teaches anymore psychology classes. He provides a PDF of the textbook.

Professor Kim is a really good teacher who knows his stuff. He gives you a PDF of the textbook so you don't have to buy it and he will post his lectures online. You have to pay attention and take notes on his power points because his test are based off of them. Flash cards will help you the most to prepare for the tests, too.

Super easy A. 6 exams (25 questions) plus 1 discussion board. The discussion board was graded the hardest. Not your typical discussion board. Submit your entry early, the later the submission, the lower the grade, and be sure to participate in the discussion with suitable content, not just "I like your argument." I wished this class was in-person.
