I thought his class was interesting.

I thought his class was interesting. I liked it that he gave out a study guide for his tests.

His class is very interesting. Also, cute.

I thought Professor Greg's class was interesting. Before each test he would give out a study guide and he would discuss what would be on the test. Even though his tests were true/or false and multiple-choice you need to know the information for the test. Also, he was very helpful to me. I would definitely take another class with him again.

I think that's the right class. Anyway, makes the class interesting after he gets past the first day jitters.

He hands out abbreviated lecture notes, so all you have to do is add to them (if you want ot do really well on the tests). Very nice and thorough.

I love Greg!!!! he is such a cool teacher. he is very helpful and approachable. he's always interested in what you have to say. did i mention he was cute!!??? seriously, the classes are preety interesting, if you take them concurrently they kinda play off eachother. would definitely recommend him to anyone.

great teacher. clear lecture. didnt have to read book to get an A. just go to class. study guide is just like test. know the study guide!

Great guy, great teacher. He has a wonderful memory and still remembers my name after a year.

Excellent prof.

One of my favorite classes! He is really nice and funny, the class discussions always crack me up. Good teacher, he really incorporates all styles of teaching...lecture, videos, discussions etc

great teacher, study guide, very clear, keeps students interested, and overall, easy.

Great teacher. Kept class interesting. Didn't need the text book. A+.

Dr. Kin-JU is helpful but hard. Answer the questions on his study guide before exams. Psyc. 135 class he has a number of papers & other assignments.

Amazing instructor. Very caring, very fair.

I took this class in the summer and it was awesome! Did not need the textbook and i was very happy with my grade. He is very helpful and he teaches in the way everyone can learn. I loved his class!

Really informative class, great professor. Very fair grader, no surprises. 2 papers, both straight forward. Sticks to syllabus. I've taken him 3 times now. This class was over summer and it wasn't even hard.

Didn't use text, easy to listen to in class.

He is cute and kinda funny.

i took this class during winter intersession and it was easy but intense. he's is extremely fair. since the class was only 3 weeks long, there was no text. but if you missed a day or two, he would drop your grade a full letter, which was understandable

He makes class interesting. Attendance helps out so go to class (everyday). Everything was based on notes from webct. His test are off from study guides. I enjoyed the class.

He made the class very interesting even though some of the information is like a mix of other psyc classes. Random attendance points. Everything is off of notes from webct. He does the study sessions so he goes through it one by one. No book needed.

Great teacher to take, very caring and helpful. Makes class material interesting and provides examples. Exams are a bit hard, but he provides a study guide.

Attendance is mandatory, he mysteriously has a talent for knowing who you are even if you don't participate in class. No textbook, exams are mc, short answer, and essay. Multiple writing projects, writing intensive. Very helpful, very interesting. My favorite professor. Cute too.

Funny and nice teacher. Exams are very straight-foward, everything on the study guide. Book not needed, regret buying it, everything off slide notes, easy 2 print from sac-ct. A couple easy assignments, and one easy project. Overall easy class.

Interesting class. Very nice. Provides slides on SacCT. Book not required. Exams are based off study guides. He gives you the option of either multiple choice or written. 4 in-class assignments (randomly given). Disneyland project. 2 current events. Noncumulative final.

he's hilarious in class but is a bit standoffish outside of class. book is a supplement and not needed. exams are STRAIGHT off powerpoint.2 easy current event write up. 4 class assigments as random attendance points. on some powerpoints you have to fill in missing info so i suggest you attendent every lecture. overall i would recommend him.

Great teacher, I would only recommend buying the book if you plan on missing classes.

He keeps class interesting with little activities and cracking jokes. He shows interesting videos, and he definitely knows his stuff. You don't need the book, but be sure to get all the points you can because there are not many of them throughout the semester. This semester there are only 50 non test points offered with 400 test points.

AWESOME professor! Loved the class, easy to catchup in the class if you missed a day when u use the book to supplement your studying. He has 4 exams, 2 short papers, 4 chances for attendance, and a 3-4 page group paper. DO ALL the little assignments even though they are worth little (it will help in the long run). BEST PROFESSOR I EVER TOOK!

Excellent professor. Extremely organized and supplements the concepts masterfully making them memorable for exams. He's unbelievably handsome, quick-witted, charismatic, and one of the most perceptive people I've ever encountered; which makes it difficult not to swoon. Print Sac CT slideshows; impossible to take comprehensive notes without them.

This was a very valuable course and I learned a lot from this instructor. He lectures straight from the book and provides powerpoint slides on SacCt.In this course we had 4 multiple choice exams, 2 current event write ups, a group project with essay. yes he knows who you are even if you never interacted with him. he's psychic, i swear!

My first time leaving a comment here EVER... But Professor Kim-Ju is amaaazing.

love it! he makes his lectures very clear and always find a way to make his topics entertaining. 4 exams, 2 extra credit options, & one project.

Dr. Kim-Ju is probably the best professor I have had at CSUS. He makes the topic very interesting to learn about. He's witty and very helpful to any student who asks questions. The class has 4 exmas,& one project (super easy) and he offers 2 extra options. I will highly reccommend anyone to take this course with Dr. Kim-Ju!

Awesome class. Dr. Kim-Ju is one of the best professors I have had at CSUS. He makes his lectures interesting and I really wish he taught other PSYC courses! The class is easy if you put in the effort. 4 exams and one project. He also gives 2 EC options. Great professor! You will learn a lot from him!

Very interesting lectures, he made it not boring at all. He is nice and work load is easy. My class was 200 people and I sent in my extra credit essay online and he had it graded and commented on it within 4 hours! I was impressed! Don't use your cell phone though, he can spot you out!

I LOVE HIM! He is funny, friendly, and makes the material interesting. Not a hard class. 2 journal entries (5pts each)400-500 words each & VERY EASY, 2 exams (40pts each) he gives you the choice of 40 multiple choice questions or essay, 1 group project (40pts)on topic of your choice & it doesnt take long, 1 autobiography (40pts) 8pgs of writing.

He is amazing! responds to emails instants. clear cut guidelines. attendance mandatory. pretty funny. all powerpoint. reading not absolutely necessary but helps alot. i took him for 100 and 135 and would take him again!!!

Kim-Ju makes the material interesting and keeps his students engaged. He has great comedic timing and remembers his student's names even in a large class.

The class was very interesting as Kim-Ju always made the class interesting and remembered most people's names, he was always available when you ask for help. Exams where not hard as long as you study and going to study sessions helped, also the textbook was pretty much supplemental to the notes, didnt use it much. Recommend him to psych majors.

Such a awesome professor!! Not only that he is charming and intellectual, his humor made class interesting. His lecture notes are straight from his power point slides that you can obtain online, and his exams were easy and straight forward. He doesn't take attendance, so he gave class participation points for those who showed up. Very supportive!

Exams are based on lecture & notes that are provided on SacCT. Discussion board helped out a lot with absences but not enough to get the full lecture effect. I didn't use the book at all because his notes/power-points were pretty detailed. Ask questions!! He is pretty good at explaining something in different ways.

test materials are on the lecture slides. book is not needed. attendance is not mandatory but there are 5 in class activity that is unannounced so if you don't care for those then attendance is optional. 4 exams with study guides. i cultural project that can be done in groups of 4 and 2 current events about 400- 500 words each.

Dr. Kim-Ju is a great professor and has become one of my favorites in my entire college career! He engages the class, tells jokes, and makes it very interesting. In his summer class, no textbook was needed. All of the test questions come from the slides which are very well organized. I highly recommend taking a class with him!

I loved Professor Kim. He was funny, engaging, and made the class extremely interesting. He talked to you, not at you, which is something that is rare with college professors. I highly recommend taking his class. I never bought the textbook and I still got a B.

Great teacher ! Knows his stuff ! Easy to follow and understand ! Test are average just study the power points ! He uses great examples on what he's lecturing about and he's funny too which adds wanting to learn more on top of that ! Great ' def recommend

Would definitely recommend Dr. Kim-Ju. Very easy tests that are worth most of the grade. Gives a great study guide. Has you do two cultural event write-ups that are only 500 words, took me less than an hour to do. Cultural project that you can do in a group, also pretty easy. Overall, great professor. More often than not keeps the class engaged.

Dr. Kim-Ju is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is extremely helpful. There is no point in buying the book. His power points have everything you need and if you think you need the book he has a ton of extra copies in the course reserves. ALWAYS attend the study sessions. He basically gives all the answers.

Dr. Kim-Ju, is the best professor.Gos Bless him. His class is very important and he help to all the students ,to understand the material.

The guy is an outstanding professor. Arguably the best at CSUS. Does a lot for his students. He is always available. Anyways, this class was pretty easy aside from the late start on our semester project.Two tests, some writing assignments, and mandatory attendance. Slackers beware. Trying to use his kindness for weakness will not work.

He is one of the best professors I've taken so far. Very good class just read the lectures and you will do fine. No need to buy a textbook and make sure to attend class!!

Such a good teacher! All of his notes are nine but he explains in more depth in class! Has in class assignments that are random but there's no way you'll miss all of them! He's very thorough and helpful and tests are exactly like lecture! Great teacher!

Very easy A. Tests directly off of the power points, which he makes available to you. He also makes a study guide for you, which is everything you need to know for the test. Have to write 2- 400 to 500 word reflections on a news article, and an end of semester cross cultural paper, which can be done in a group.

Straight forward. 4 test, 2 reflections that are up to 500 words,offers extra credit,4 in class assignments. Funny guy, great professor.

Pretty straight forward class! Take additional notes to the lecture to explain his lecture slides. Tests go straight off the study guides!

Great professor. Assignments are informative and make great use of the textbook. In-class activities are fun.

So captivating! His lectures are super interesting and made me want to learn more. Only used the textbook for the papers. Provides the powerpoints online, but make sure to attend class for specifics and points. Not much homework, super funny, and overlaps a lot with other psych classes so it turned out to be very helpful!

Awesome teacher! I really am not a fan of school in general and he really makes me enjoy my time at sac state.. Definitely the best psych teacher at the school. Class consist of 10 HW assignments, midterm, final, and the service learning project which is the most difficult part of the class. Definitely a class to take!!

Loved the content. Loved him. Used powerpoints, study those and you should be fine.

I really liked him. He was really funny and made the lectures interesting. I had a tough time on the first 2 tests because I felt the wording was a little difficult to understand, but I went into his office hours and he went over my test with me. After that, he added 2-5 more points to my test grade!

Dr. Kim-Ju's class was one of my favorites. Four tests make up the majority of the grade, and his lectures are clear and thorough, making it easy to study for them. Really enjoyed his lectures and being in class!

Perfect professor. Gives reasonable work outside of class. Gives great lectures that are exactly what you will see on his exam. GO TO his review sessions. Pay attention in class, and you're golden!

I took this class over the summer. For a 6 week session he made the class a breeze. 4 short papers, 2 tests, 1 paper and a presentation. All the content was interesting so doing the work was easy.

I absolutely loved attending a class w/ this Professor, I was worried because it wasn't an easy subject. The exams are exactly from what he teaches so you just have to study. You write a technical report and do transcribing as well as coding but he goes over the steps & is extremely helpful. Always has discussions & asks for feedback. Great Prof.!

He's an angel. You won't regret taking his class, trust me. I wish I could've had for the rest of my college career. Hardly used the book, but it is helpful for writing your papers.

I have so much respect for Greg Kim-Ju. He is an amazing professor and cares so much about his students learning. Although the subject was not Psychology, I thought his psych method of teaching Korean Culture was very interesting. Taking one of his courses allows you to think in multiple types of ways.

Didn't know that he was a psychology professor, but the way he teaches the Korean culture class is a delight. Powerpoints were clear and organized. Weekly readings, long articles, but not much discussion of the articles in class. Exams were straight off the powerpoint lectures, so just need to memorize. A 30-min. group project at the end!

Dr. Kim-Ju is hands one of the best professors at Sac State. I was lucky enough to take a class with him. Interesting/funny lectures, and he did really well at explaining the material in a way you could understand. I wish I could take all my Psyc classes with this professor.

Best psych professor at CSUS. Probably one of the best in any department. This professor is outstanding at what he does. Take him for all of his classes he teaches because he is that good at teaching the material.

Loved this class because it was so interesting and I love Dr. Kim-Ju! Every class was just lecture the whole time but he would always try to make it interesting or funny. Tests are not too bad if you use study guide and gives a few random in class activities. Also required to do two current event papers and another paper at end of semester.

Great class! Not a lot of homework at all, only 3 assignments the whole semester along with in-class activities you get pts for and 4 exams. Really fair tests and he also has 2 study groups before the exams where he gives you all the answers to the study guide. As long as you pay attention in class and study you'll do good. He also offers extra cr!

Dr. Kim-Ju is a treasure. I took several of classes with him and found him to be respectful, engaging, and kind. I admire him as a human being and as a professor. As a professor he is willing to help students constantly. 1 time I was w students and he had conference to attend, he stppd to help student anyway. This is the kindofproff he is.

Awesome professor! His lecture are really informative and you will need to attend to pass. Be sure to study to and really prepare yourself for the test but it's manageable. Not too much work in the class. 2 homework and 1 project and in class assignments. Your grade is pretty much from the test. Overall it's a great class.

(1) 10-12 page paper, (6) quizzes, and (1) 20 minute group presentation (4 people per group). (1) 400 word journal due every week, and (1) 100 word assignment due every week. Class material was interesting. Professor is organized, articulate, and gives clear guidelines/expectations. Greg utilizes canvas and inputs grades in a timely manner.

He is the best professor I have had at Sac State! He had amazing lectures that were very clear. On top of that, the night before an exam he would have a study session and go over the study guide, every term, and tell you the definition and what he wants you to know. When it came to the exam, it was almost verbatim what he had said the night before.

He is an awesome professor. He makes the lectures interesting and is very funny. Not that much homework. The study guides look like a lot but if you pay attention you should be able to pass at least. He grades quickly and gives good feedback. He also allows for people pick either a multiple choice tests or essay tests based on their preference.

Great professor who is funny in his own way. His lectures are very interesting and you only really need the textbook to get extra information. Highly recommend.

Dr. Kim-Ju is amazing! One of the best professor in Sac State. Loved his class. 4 exams (50 mc questions). 2 shorts papers (current events) and 1 final group paper (culture project). 4 easy activities throughout the semester, so better attend class to get those easy points. Take advantage of extra credit. Take his class. He's a gem!

He posted clear, useful lectures and chose a book that was interesting and easy to read. You do need to keep up with the reading. 3 short papers, and an 4th for extra credit, plus a 5-page essay which you can do with a group if you want. You need to understand the material for the exams, but he doesn't throw in any tricks. Quality instructor.

This was a hybrid class over the summer. No textbook, but lots of journal articles and book chapters to read on Canvas. 5 quizzes (need the readings for most of them), weekly journal, weekly discussion board, 10-12 page autobiography, and a group presentation. Informative lectures and a manageable load for the summer. Participate lots in class!

Great Professor. He is incredibly kind and understanding. Not to mention he is easy to understand and his lectures are interesting. Highly recommend!

Great sense of humor! Clear and specific on assignments. Reading and note taking super important for exams

Dr. Kim-Ju's lectures bring in interesting examples that one can often relate to. His exams are a little difficult, but only because they are focused on very specific class content. He offers extra credit, and I recommend that you do it because it will truly bump your grade up after finals! You will not need the book, his lectures have all the info

Dr. Kim-Ju is a kind person. He made sure to check in with us and was engaging. I have to admit his lectures felt a bit dull, but I have taken several courses with similar material before so it could be that. Easy to earn an A in his class if you do the work and take good notes. Would recommend him if you're early on in your education!

He is really the best professor for PSYC100. The lectures were great and he made them interesting. Online classes can be hard, but the workload for this class was super manageable. I honestly was worried this class would be boring, but it ended up being one of my favorites. Theres 4 exams and the lectures really cover everything on them.

I enjoyed this class! Dr. Kim-Ju is awesome and his lectures are very entertaining. He provided a study guide for each exam which covers everything on the 4 exams. I highly recommend taking him. The workload was very light. We had 4 discussion posts and a few easy current event papers, 1 page each.

Kim-Ju is great! Lectures are clear and easy to follow. The quality of the videos are nice too. Discussion posts are far and few between, but on interesting topics. There are two, one-page essays and we can choose any class topic to write them on. Exams can be tough but, there are also two extra-credit opportunities. Hope I can take him offline!

Dr. Kim-Ju is an amazing professor. He is passionate about the material and cares for his students. His exams are a bit tough, but they are based off of his lectures so just pay attention and take notes! He offers extra credit. Only has a few short papers throughout the semester, a couple discussion posts, and 4 exams.

I highly recommend taking this class with him. Exams will be fine as long as you focus on the info he has in the study guide. He dropped our lowest exam score. Other than exams, we had a group/individual projects, a few discussion posts, and 2 current event write ups (1 page). Take this class or any class with him!

I enjoyed taking his class! I took this during the winter session so it was 2 weeks long, but it was so worth it. He made it easy to complete things every week, and they were fairly easy assignments. Make sure to read and take notes when you watch lectures because the exams are based off of them!

GREAT PROFESSOR! I highly recommend this professor. He is easy to contact, gives good feedback, his Canvas page is clear and easy to navigate, and he is clear on his expectations of each assignment. The best part is his lectures are interesting so it is easy to follow.

Each module (7 total) contains a discussion board, quiz, and journal entry. Honestly if you just do the work you will do just fine. No exams, and one group project. This is not a difficult class.

This class was one of my favorites .Professor Kim-Ju's lectures were interesting - I appreciated how well he explained all topics covered in class. He is responsive, gives encouraging feedback on everything, and a quick grader. Work load was more than reasonable, and I appreciated that he allowed 2 weeks per module (4 modules in 8 weeks).

Awesome professor. He r4eally cares about his students and the lecture material is always presented in an interesting and engaging way.

Professor Kim-Ju is very kind. He is very organized and very clear about what he expects from his students. Personally, I didn't need the book. His lectures were enough for me to do well in his class. He provides many chances for EC. I would recommend Professor Kim-Ju.

Great professor. The lectures were personally enough for me to get by through the course, but having the text would help if lectures are difficult for you to follow. He uses real life examples and I thought the lectures were really interesting. Fair grading and clear objectives.

I took Winter Intersession. Since it is only 17 days, Professor assigns only like half of the chapters in the textbook. A little bit challenging but very informative. Professor Kim grades fast. Three exams (timed and changing previous answers not allowed), three discussions, and three papers (400 words minimum). Three extra credits (timed quiz).

Great dude, good lectures. Everything is posted online. Must attend 5 classes, rest is up to you. His lecture style can sometimes be boring- but only rarely, usually I am quite interested. The current events papers are easy and so are the discussion posts, I even enjoy doing it sometimes. He responds fast. On top of things

Class was only one day of the week with him being online the next day. He would go over lectures the entire period and they were really interesting. He grades fair, four exams and they are based off his lectures. Two current topic essays plus two extra credit essay oppurtunities. He is pretty funny too which is great. I would take him again!

he good teacher

Professor Kim-Ju is a very chill and laid-back professor. He always made his lectures fun and entertaining. Attendance is not mandatory, but he asks that you come to class at least 5 times throughout the semester. There are 2 small papers, 2 extra credit papers, 1 big cultural project, 4 discussion posts, and 4 online tests. All were fairly easy

If you want to learn about multiracial communities, privilege, social class etc this class is a must! Professor Greg is an easy grader. He provides feedback and responds super quick. Instructions are straight forward. Weekly quizzes that are all based on lectures, weekly journals, end of semester group project. Easy A.

Great Professor! His class is very straight forward. Quizzes are based on his lectures and reading he assigns online. We have discussion post and journal entries but are very doable. At the end we have a group project , not bad at all. I really recommend taking psych 135 , you will learn a lot.

Prof. Kim-Ju is a wonderful person who truly cares about the subject and his students. He is the only professor I have ever had that offers a mental health day for an assignment and he did not have us purchase a book. If you are struggling just reach out, communication seems to go a long way with him. He is fair, kind, and very informative.

(taken Spring22) The most kindest & caring Professor I've had. Dr Kim-Ju was kind enough to meet with me outside his office hours for major advising & was overall great in teaching. He is very passionate in what he teaches & goes over concepts whenever needed. He is very patient and hilarious! You do have to put effort in the class but will pass.

Hybrid class so we met only on Tuesdays. 4 dbs, 4 online exams(open notes), 2 current event papers(500-600 words), 2 extra credit current event papers and culture project. The exams are based on lecture so print out the study guides located in each module to take notes. You have to attend 9 class sessions or he will lower your grade.

I would take any class as long as it were taught by Dr. Kim-Ju! He's hilarious, straightforward with his expectations, and gives you all the information you'll need. He's super interesting and inspired great conversations. He's consistent and a fast grader. I loved his class!

Dr Kim Ju is great attendance isnt mandatory but is very helpful He is very accessible and always willing to help very few assignments 1 EC assignment and exams online 1 group project also very easy. Very easy class he is super flexible and truly wants his students to succeed

I took the hybrid version** Prof Kim-Ju is a beauty! The topics he focuses on are truly fascinating. There aren't a ton of unnecessary assignments which I appreciated. 4 exams, and open note, they are fair. He also offers a good amount of extra credit so take advantage of that!

Grade is based on attendance (attend 9 class session or grade will be dropped), 4 open notes exams based on lecture/lecture videos (45 pts each), 4 dbs(5 pts for 3 dbs/ 1 worth 10pts), 2 CE( 25 pt each/500-600 words) and 1 cultural project( 25 pts/3pgs). Also easy EC points by writing 2 more CE assignments and attending all class sessions.

I had a hybrid class that had video's that covered all the lecture material so I was able to prepare or catch up as needed. There was a minimal amount of days you were required to be in class but it was extremely reasonable. He provided printable slides prior to class and we were allowed to use notes during our online exams. Super professor!

Dr. Kim-Ju was one of my first professors at Sac State, about 4 weeks into his class my father passed away unexpectedly, and he was very understanding. I'm not a C student but I was just happy to make it through the class, thanks to him. His class is very interesting and he is very knowledgeable and responsive for any course issues that come up.

He clearly relays the material. He chooses a great textbook, which is fun to read. He lays out clear grading expectations and he has a structed routine so the class feels manageable. It's a consistent workload and he is easy to get ahold of in case you have questions. Really wonderful professor!

Loved Dr. Kim-Ju and this course. He is passionate about the material and it translates to his lectures. Very funny and approachable. Highly recommend taking this course w him as I actually learned a lot and was invested in the material. Not difficult at all, clear grading criteria, few assignments, and extra credit offered. Don't miss lectures!

Dr. Kim Ju's class was a 10/10. He made the class very interesting. The class structure and grading criteria are very clear. There isn't much homework and the exams are online and open book/note. He is very friendly and responsive to emails. He also grades assignments really fast, like within minutes to an hour of submission. I recommend him 10000%

I retook 100 with Kim-Ju and was able to approach the open book exam and complete my writing assignments with a better understanding of the material. I appreciate his communication and grading criteria. I did this course in the winter so I wasn't able to build a relationship with him, but if you have that opportunity- take it!

Professor Kim-Ju makes PSYC100 a manageable and rewarding experience. The structured assignments, open-note exams, and available extra credit make the workload feel fair. Unstuck ai's practice tests were a big help for exam prep too.

Professor Kim-Ju is nice and cares about his students! He enjoys discussing topics further with students. I did however feel I needed to side/agree with the multicultural issues/topics discussed. Some of the topics about race/privilege can feel dismissive to 'white' individuals. I would just be aware of this and keep an open mind. Heavy topics!

Dr. Kim-Ju is very wise. He is caring and empathetic, but also a no BS type of Professor. He will bend over backwards for his students, but he will not be played. He has high expectations and participation matters. He is an activist for equality because he has been an outsider at some point in his life. He is a hard working and dedicated leader.

His lectures are engaging, fun, and makes concepts easy to understand. Easy going, will work with you as long as you communicate with him. His lectures are from the text, but his exams use both, text and lecture (like when he adds other small facts). He also takes attendance that counts towards your grade. Highly recommend taking him for PSYC100!
