Good teacher overall. Explains the material very well. Everything on the tests is covered in class, so a good grade is not too difficult if you attend and pay attention. His English is fairly difficult to understand.

Awesome professor!! I totally failed his final, I know for sure I only got one right, and he still passed me with a C, even though I failed his second test. But I DID get an A on the first one. And my quiz averages were a C..oh well, he passed me, therefore he ROCKS

His tests are more about memorizing the formulas than knowing how to apply them. Also there are a lot of true/false and multiple choice which can be a good or bad thing. I know my grade should have been a C in the class but I somehow ended up with a B. Because of that I am happy with him.

Very Helpful & understanding! Great Prof.

I took him during Winter session of 05. He's a pretty nice guy and will make the time to show you a thing or two if you need it. It is not the most entertaining class so get your ritalin ready. I would recommend him though, compared to some of the foreign guys I've dropped because I couldn't understand them...

This guy has very good clarity.He doesnt go as deep into math as Id like, but if you dont like calc that should be perfect for you.If you know about Japanese culture:he acts like your average Japanese man.You really should read the book in addition to his lectures which do sum things up but wont get it into your head all the way.easy quiz on fri's

he teaches parallel to the book which makes it easier to study. get a solutions manual and study those homework problems for the quiz every friday. the tests include some even problems from the chapter, so study. he gives points for trying out a problem even if its wrong. his english is actually pretty good, he just talks loud.

asian so he has an accent sometimes it is difficult to understand what he is saying but he is awesome at writing information on the board. no homework just quizzes on fridays and tests. attendance is 10% (easy money). tests and quizzes follow the recommended problems so make sure and do them. with medium effort it is possible to pull a high B or A

not horrible. after the first test (which was review basically) i thought the class would be a piece of cake. solution manual helps because his quizzes are exact questions from the homework. tests are basic questions where you just have to memorize the formulas and you don't need to know how to apply them. Basically, if the timing is good for you,

Overall a good professor. He clearly states what will be on the exams. He doesn't collect homework, but has daily quizes instead.

Everything is fine except his english speaking. But, it is not that bad.

Such a joke of a class

He is easy to understand. I liked his class because he was very clear on what he expected from you, he even gave a practice test that was identical to the exam. You could do much worse in ASU's math dept, trust me

This was not that bad of a class. The tests are straight forward and he covers everything that you need to know. I thought I had an A until the final. That was the only hard part about the class, the final. I would stay in his class if you have him.

Explained most of everything in a clear manner. Decent amount of homework to help you learn and understand the material. Sample tests are virtually the same as the tests he gives you (just changes the numbers, etc.). As someone else pointed out, in another comment, as far as math professors go at ASU he is very good.

This class was so easy! and his accent was not that bad at all for those who said it was...he can speak english! the test are exactly what he says they are and he gives you great steps for completing problems

He is a really nice guy, maybe he has some corny jokes sometimes and he may have an accent but when you get used to that it's fairly simple. He curves tests, which is nice and the quizzes are really simple!

He is very knowledgeable about MAT, tells you what topics will be on the exam!!!!

I thought this class was pretty easy. The webwork was simple, and it gave you instructions of how to study for everything. Kim was a good teacher and explained everything fine. I didn't have any problems with the class.

Kim is a very good professor. He was easy to understand and asked the class if anyone had trouble understanding the work that was being done. He reveiws everything that will be on tests and really prepares you.He's also pretty funny because he's pretty dorky. Good class...

Dr. Kim is a really nice guy and he cares about his students succeeding. He curves all of the tests so you pretty much can't fail. That being said, this class is really hard and is difficult to get an A in. Dr. Kim teaches it well though and he is willing to help you through any problems and he loves math.

He is very clear on what he wants you to know for the exam, if you study that you will get an A. His accent is a little strong, but if you attend class and write down notes you will do fine

exams are extremely easy and curved. Incredible hard to fail this class if you take the weekly quiz and homework. Hw is webwork, but faily easy. Easy class overall; you can get a A without really learning much or doing much work. the exams are alos very easy. he explain very well. best mat prof

Dr. Kim is an intelligent man. That being said his classes are easy and you don't have to work very hard for your grade because his test reflect everything he gives you in his notes and weekly quizzes. I dislike the fact that I have to read the book to truly understand diff eq instead of my professor teaching me and not just plug and chug.

Pretty easy class. Though it does get a little harder in the end. I think professor Kim is a very intelligent man, but can be hard to understand sometimes. His test and finals are multiple choice, which can be good and bad.

Math genius. Go to every lecture and you will be fine. Has webwork, which can be difficult. Bookwork is optional, however I would recommend it as the weekly quizzes are often the bookwork. His lectures seem to give 90% of what you need to know, so reading the book and his office hours are needed to do well. Exams are multiple choice.

Very nice man, a little tricky to understand. Has one of the most forgiving grading curves I think I've ever seen. I would take him again.

He knows the materials from the back of his head. Very smart guy. Kinda hard to understand, but you'll get used to it. He holds one of his office hours at the tutoring center and he helps you with stuff. Gives take home quizzes every week (sometimes in class). Webwork but no bookwork. Overall, not a difficult class. Difficult material, but it was k

The master. I recommend for any math class. Lecture attendance is a must as he gives you everything you need in the lectures. HW is WebWork. The book is useless unless you can read and understand math jargon and proofs. Very helpful in office hours. Second class I took from Kim, wish he taught 384!

good notes from chalkboard. good natured and straight forward. graded on quizzes, 2 tests, final and lab. easy if you take notes on his examples in class.

Kim is a math genius. He knows what he's talking about. The content was difficult without a doubt, but if you pay attention in the lecture, you'll get A's. Weekly take home quizzes and tests are not hard. But the final was really hard.

He's an extremely easy calculus professor. Doesn't take attendance and all you really need is the notes he provides. I studied an average of 3 hours a week with a mwf schedule for him and got an A. Easy A.

Good professor, I am not smart just work hard for my grades, however I got a B in his class, since I made careless mistakes on the tests. He gave out quizzes and as long as you put your name on it, you get 5 out of 10 pts right away, and is easy grader on tests.

Great professor! Discrete is "tricky" no matter who you take. This was a repeat class for me and the first time I took it, it seemed really difficult. Dr. Kim made the class & material bearable. Lenient grader. 5 points on quizzes just by putting your name on them. Curves tests. His accent is not a big deal, makes the class interesting. Take him!

Good teacher, curves, and will teach you kung foo if you are worthy.

A smart, sassy man with a lot of energy. He is very helpful if you ask questions. He grades all assignments through Webassign.

I'm no where near math-savvy, but Kim made everything make sense. If I could take every math class with him, I would. He's a genius, and the notes he provides you with are really helpful. Accent is not a problem. Take him if you have the chance.

Professor Kim is awesome. I would go into class at about 7 am after a 12 hour shift, and he taught well enough to keep someone like me engaged. His accent is thick, but overall--through his excellent examples and smooth transitions into topics--he is very clear. Highly recommend!

Great professor, tries his best to make things easier. He doesn't explain really well but his review is almost like the exam.

Looks like Jackie Chan. Threw a talisman at me. Would recommend.

This guy is awesome and funny. Much better than my calc 2 teacher (Reynolds). Others seem to like him to.

I had this class online in 7 weeks. Kim didn't make the video lectures, which were scattered and generally unhelpful. I survived off Paul's Online Notes, which I would highly recommend. Kim himself was very helpful in responding to emails about homework questions. The tests were taken straight from the homework so there were no surprises.

Y'all are cray if you he's not a good professor. He's an excellent professor, he doesn't trick you at all on tests and very straight forward with what he expects. The only reason I got a B in this class was because I didn't take the quizzes but did real well on all his tests Helpful and caring about his students. Take him he teach you kung foo!

This guy comes in with no lecture notes at all but can lecture the entire time perfectly. Sure he makes some minor mistakes in his examples, but he makes them all up on the spot plus it keeps you on your toes. He is funny and makes jokes about math that are great. I tiredly respect and admire Kim I think he is a fantastic professor

Kim was a great professor. I took him last summer for Discreet Mathematics and he made the material very clear. He isn't difficult to understand. WebWork can be pretty tough, but the testsquizzes were very reasonable and straightforward. He did curve the tests for my class, but I'm not sure he does for any others. Would take again.

Took him over the summer for Discrete Math. Lectures were clear and concise, plus he curved every single test. I've taken him for 2 previous math classes and have no regrets when taking his courses.

Kim gives tons of examples but explains quickly and moves on to the next topic too quickly. I like it tho the fast pace and the way he explained it to the class. I don't know about the others but if you think you can handle the pace then do it. Also for homework he gives you a long time to complete each given section.

Honestly a great professor if you go to lecture. As long as you pay attention to what he's doing his examples are very clear and end up being on exams. He moves pretty quickly through material but you can ask him questions. Quizzes ever week, three exams, and final. Lots of webwork so don't procrastinate. Sometimes tries to make bad math jokes

I am surprised by how many people disliked Dr. Kim. I had him this past semester for Cal 2 and I thought he was great. He does go a bit fast through the lecture but it's to be expected since he has so much to cover. Ultimately, if you go to class his tests aren't that hard and the webwork and quizzes are guaranteed A's as long as you do them.

If you do the homework and go to class you can get at least a B. During class he gives example problems that will be on the test and on the quizzes.

Kim is a great teacher. The material is tough and he's not going to make it overly easy. But he does curve generously. He does weekly quizzes that will make up a big part of your grade, but he'll also let you know what to prepare for. Don't be fooled by his choice to make a test multiple choice though, each question will have a "None of the above".

I liked Prof. Kim's teaching style a lot. He explains difficult topics and theorems very well. Always reviews the material of the previous day (love this). Assigned homework is light. Weekly quizzes are great structured practice. The quizzes are low stress too -- he gives you 50% just for taking it. Exams are multiple choice.

Great lecturer. I always came out of the class knowing how to do everything on the hw. He was organized, clear, and never wasted time. The tests were tough, but then again MAT275 is a tough subject. Every problem on the tests were out of the lectures or the hw. I highly recommend.

Kim is amazing. he is pretty clear, makes some mistakes during lecture but not that bad. not a lot of HW but it is really help for tests. go to class, write notes, do HW, study your notes, and HW for the tests. 2 midterms and 1 final. the final was much easier than the midterms. the hard part of the tests was the multiple choice. overall good prof

Prof. Kim is a great teacher who knows what he is doing. Attendance is mandatory, so make sure to go. His lectures are easy to understand, although his accent can be a little tough to comprehend. Just go to class, do the homework, and study for quizzes and tests and you'll do just fine.

Even though he has an accent, he's still pretty clear in his lectures. He adds humor making the lectures not so exhausting. He's very easy going, just show up and pay attention, and do the online homework.

This guy is hilarious, and yeah if you're not paying attention half of the lecture will fly over your head. That being said his work is precise and to the point, so everything you need you will have.

Attend class, has an accent but is acceptable. Make sure to study.

Dr. Kim is a decent professor and extremely lenient on points on exams and homework. If you pay attention and do the homework, you will get an A. He is very generous with rounding too (though he says he isn't). He goes over every single problem on an exam and quiz right before you take it, so you are prepared. One of the better professors I think.

Dr. Kim is good. Ask questions in class, he will answer. Explains stuff from first principles. Do homework problems, you will be fine

Dr. Kim is a very good professor, especially for a tougher class. Attendance is mandatory and there is a quiz once a week but he goes over almost the exact problems before every quiz and test. Go to class, take notes, do the homework and you will be fine. He has an accent but its not hard to understand him. He is very clear in his lectures.

No doubt the greatest Calculus professor. He class consists of 3 exams - none of them are cumulative. His pace is excellent and he always reviews previous topics to make sure you are not confused. There are never any surprises on exams and he gives you a lot of hint that will help you on the test. I got an F in AP Calc, but got 99% in his Calculus.

Do all the HW in advance and write down the problems. Make sure you understand what you are doing in preparation for the quizzes. Exams are straight forward, as long as you do the HW and ask questions.

Write down all of the examples he does in class. At the end of every class there was a quiz over everything you just did in class (same problems, different numbers) and they were open note. Make sure to do all the homework, study for the tests the day before and you will be fine. He has an accent but is very easy to follow along with!

The class begins with mandatory attendance, but he gradually stops caring. The lectures are formatted as such: conceptual background, a derivation, than a review of what you need to know for the tests. His exams are hard, but he grades VERY leniently. Webwork can be time-consuming, but I would just ask him to solve it for me after class and he did.

I took professor Kim during the summer, he was a corny, but a great guy. He does skip steps sometimes, and this can be confusing. If you ask questions he will clarify his best, and will try to make you understand. I would and most likely will take him in higher level math classes.

Very good professor. Class expectations are balanced and fair. Grading, exams, homework, and quizzes are very reasonable. When answering student questions during lectures, he kinda sounds like he's yelling, but he isn't actually.

Dr Kim is honestly an awesome professor, one of the easiest As I have ever gotten. You will get an A if you go to class every day, sit in the front couple of rows (if you don't he is pretty hard to hear), do the homework before the corresponding quiz, and take good notes. Not that hard at all.

At first I hated this class because of his teaching style but over the time in the semester I ended up getting used to his teaching style. Easy class if you go every class session and write down notes and examples. None of the tests are cumulative. Best tip for the exams: just follow the topics for each exam he puts on blackboard.

Dr. Kim is a solid MAT211 Professor. I had absolutely no problems his lectures are his quizzes, and if you stay proactive with homework, you should get 100s on both quizzes and tests. The reviews he posts on Blackboard mirror the test exactly. Flip back to the review he provides and do homework problems which accompany each concept. Easy A.

Your grade is determined by homework on webassign, weekly quizzes, and 3 tests. The homework is easy (5 tries), the weekly quizzes are open-note, and the tests are exactly like the reviews he provides on Blackboards. His lectures trumps the textbook, so do not purchase the textbook unless he explicitly states to do so. Solid choice for MAT211.

Professor Kim will help you with Webwork if you visit him during his office hours. His lecture style is good (clear writing and fine drawings) once you get used to it. The homework takes some time to get done but will prove to ready you for the tests (it covers all necessary examples) THOUGH, I suggest you read the book and study before each exam.

Kim teaches discrete math very well. It's a very hard subject so don't be surprised by the challenge. He gives weekly-ish quizzes on previous lessons (open-note) so that should motivate you to take good notes. He writes everything on the board so it's easier to write down and he gives fun and practical examples to apply the info to. Highly recommen

Difficult, but it was Calc 3 so it will always be somewhat difficult. Classes and homework were more challenging but tests were easy.

A lot of people complain about his accent but I sat in the front and I didn't really have much of an issue. I think Dr. Kim is more of a "by the book" professor. He has clearly outlined grading and never falls behind schedule. His lectures are straightforward. The grade is 80% test grades so you will have to study a lot if you want a good grade.

Be ready for someone who moves very quickly.He just does examples on the board and rarely explains them or talks about the rules of them.Attendance is not mandatory to him, but it is if you want to pass.About 3 homework assignments per week. 55% of your grade are the three midterms and 25% is the final.Must study and teach the chapter to yourself.

lots of notes to be taken during lecture, definitely read the ppt slides. he utilizes every single second in lecture. very clearly enjoys the subject, explains pretty well if you ask questions.

This class can be difficult but as a person who didn't attend any of his lectures, you can finish this class by using the online lectures as they give you basically everything you need. The exams are basically the practice exams so just make sure you understand all the concepts by then. There are a few questions to google but overall simple.

Kim was great, gave lots of resources so I didn't even need to attend class. I had an A+ all semester but the final is only 19 questions so it is easy to get tripped up on it. The modules and homework are more than enough preparation and it is extremely easy to succeed if you put in minimal work. Lectures also give hints to all homework and tests.

Taking his classes requires a certain method of learning that most people don't prefer. His teaching style is very stiff, as in very structured and straightforward. Each class, he would go over the concepts on the board and do example problems. Overall, I think you need to be a specific kind of learner to succeed in this class.

Semi-decent teacher, but the lectures are very boring. A moderate amount of quizzes and homework each week, but they're not toxic nor worth much of the final grade. Tests weighted heavily, but they're similar enough to his practice tests and each test has an automatic 8-10% extra credit boost.

I don't know why his ratings are so low?? Could be related to racism or him having a quieter voice. Calculus is going to be hard no matter what, but I found him to be a helpful professor. Even though I was intimidated, he was actually super nice the one time I went to office hours. Just know that in recitation you will have a quiz every week.

He knows what he's talking about. The lectures moved pretty fast, but he would stop to answer questions. I personally found him somewhat intimidating from afar, and I never needed to talk to him one-on-one to confirm/dispel that notion. The textbook is worth reading for clarity if book learning is your thing, otherwise there are video lectures.

Tests ~40% MCQ | 60% FRQ iirc. Tests assess most basic application of content/HW except integrals. Didnt pay attention to lectures (then stopped going). What he taught made sense w/ what I studied in textbook. Little quiet | slight accent | friendly. Only needed to attend class Friday. I learned material with textbook. 25% of final was 13.6 /13.7.
