Dr. Kim is awesome! Very easy to understand and does an excellent job making sure we've seen questions VERY similar to what will be on the tests. I'm in the "intensive" class that meets everyday and it's really beneficial. Knows her stuff and is willing to review things we really should have already known. Take her!!

Dr. Kim is the best professor for pre-calc. She always prints out her pwrpts and wksts. When you do practice problems, her handwriting is clear and she is great at answering questions. Before tests she hands out a review that has questions from past quizzes, therefore similar problems show up on the test. Also, she holds exam reviews before test.

Calc 2 is hard in general, but Professor Kim makes it harder as she wants everything to be her way. She does give many opportunities to improve your grade by retaking tests and quizzes, but if it EXACTLY how she does it, you will get points taken off. Definitely a hard grader and you will have HELLA homework to do.

Dr. Kim is awesome. She's so nice and caring, but she is a tough grader. She provides resources to succeed, but the class will not be easy. She wants to see every step done her way, but that's just how it is and doesn't change so it's worth just getting used to it.
