Kim is awesome and a good professor but only when you are able to understand what he is saying. He can be really fast, but goes out of the way when some students can't follow. Notes and Homework problems are your solutions in getting a good mark in this course. I would recommend you guys to go to his office hours as it is very helpful.

Dr. Kim is one of the loveliest people I have ever encountered in my life. He is caring, nice, and just awesome. His notes are organized and really help you with the content. He also sounds like Appa in Kim's convenience which makes this class more fun. I have 20000 Kim coins and will buy a house with it :)

This prof has a very old school way of teaching. His lecture notes are very messy and you will find yourself just reading the textbook more than actually going to the lectures even though they're mandatory if you want full credit.

He's a funny and charismatic person, who tries to curve people to help them pass, but his teaching style can be difficult to understand. Having mandatory zoom attendance for lectures doesn't help, and they even contribute to marks, which can either be a free 5 percent depending on your ability to consistently go to 6 P.M.

If you don't take a class and look at the lecture notes later, you can't understand it. Lecture notes are used with lectures. If you don't study right then and want to study later, it's better to look at the textbook. I made my own notes while listening to the class, and in that case, the posted lecture notes were very useful.
