The professor is great, respectful, understanding and kind. The lectures were kinda heavy as we usually would watch the slides which could make it hard for you to focus sometimes. she also had some amazing guest speakers who we learned a lot from. we have a Quizz + assignment + discussion every week. we also got the chance to get 5 extra credits.

Professor Kim is awesome! She ensures that everyone understands the concepts and expectations in class and outside of class via Canvas updates. HW consists of 1 quiz, 1 discussion, & 1 assignment. My favorite part was the case studies Professor Kim uses to connect the textbook to real world examples, as well as the guest speakers she had in class.

Professor Kim is really easy-going! Her class is lecture heavy, but the material is easy to understand. Each chapter, you're assigned a quiz, assignment, and discussion. As long as you meet the word count for the latter two, you're sure to earn a 10/10. She also gives extra credit points for participation and brings in well-versed guest speakers.

Professor Kim was truly amazing. You could tell that she cared and wanted to support each student. She brought in multiple industry professionals to speak with us . Now each week there was a discussion, an assignment, and a quiz. The discussion and assignment take a good chunk of time because you have to respond to other students responces.

Professor Kim ks a wonderful Professor. The class itself isn't too hard, only a couple of readings and a quiz every week.

Professor Kim is a flexible and caring instructor. The class is manageable, and the materials are provided, so no need to buy a textbook. I found Unstuckstudy helpful for study prep alongside other resources.

Professor Kim has a lot of valuable hospitality experience. She uses that personal experience to tie in to the lectures which is amazing. She really cares about her students and offers a ton of extra credit. There was 2 exams which are both on canvas, and 1 group project which was a huge part of the class. Overall great professor and funny too!
