Very thick accent, but a great teacher. Had him for multiple math classes, and he always helped everyone understand the material where the prof fell short. Very optimistic about solving math problems, claiming everything is an "easy guy". This guy was a lot of fun from integral calc through diffEQ.

I think this professor is a bit misunderstood. His philosophy is to reach out to students who don't really understand math, and many misconstrue this as a flaw in his capabilities in English or teaching ability. He's actually really helpful if you go to his office hours and he makes his tests really straight-forward so you can do well.

Although his accent is very strong, he is a very funny teacher, and he cares a lot about his student's education. The main problem with this class is it's based around a really bad textbook that was made by another OSU professor. If you talk to dr. kim during his office hours, he is always nice and always makes sure your questions are answered.

Dr. Kim is a very nice man and great instructor but difficult to understand. The class however is very very easy and if you follow the book you will do well in the class.

He's a very entertaining professor, and passionate about math. It took me a few lectures to get used to his accent (this didn't affect my rating). The clarity and usefulness of his lectures has improved throughout the term. Exams are straight forward and quite easy, practice exams are much more difficult. Do the homework and you'll do fine.

Dr. Kim really cares about his students and he is very passionate about math. Lectures are helpful, but I really recommend looking at the book, particularly the examples. I remember a couple of them showed up on his tests (or very similar problems at least). And to clarify, his accent is really not a huge problem, you'll get used to it quickly.

I took math 256 a term before with a different teacher, but I hadn't learned a thing in 7 weeks. Needless to say, I dropped it. Took it with Kim and instantly started to catch on to the material. Once you understand his accent, his lectures are easy to follow. He answers questions VERY thoroughly; he does not make you feel stupid. Great professor.

Very good Instructor. I had no problems with his accent. The main problem I had with the class was that the students in there would ask rather foolish questions which would greatly slow the class down. I would definitely recommend taking one of Dr. Kim's classes.

Kim is the best math instructor I've had. He has infectious enthusiasm, is very intelligent, and very helpful. The quizes are all HW problems, the midterms are the hardest part of the course but very similar to the practice exams. The final was fair and had a few problem straight from the HW. Study, and go to class(ec popquizes)andyoull berewarded

Mr. Kim is probably the best math teacher I've had so far. He gets very enthusiastic during lecture, and truly makes the 50 minutes enjoyable. All the concepts are reviewed well, and the TA was very helpful. Do the homework, know the homework problems for the quizzes in recitation, and attend lecture. I actually had fun with this class.

Prof. Kim is extremely enthusiastic, professional, and intelligent. However, the language barrier makes learning from his lecture alone extremely difficult. The homework is tough, but doable with time. Slackers beware, this class requires focus and determination.

Awesome prof

Dr. Kim is very enthusiastic with his teaching which makes Math easier to understand. He repeats a lot of his course material from lecture to lecture. He is a very helpful professor if you have any questions concerning mathematics.

He is a great professor. I took MTH 251, MTH 252, MTH 254, MTH 255, MTH 256, and MTH 306 from him. I got all straight A's and I would've gotten A+ if there was one! I took all these classes as freshmen and I am done with Math forever. He is very clear, easy to understand, and generous. If you have hardships understanding math, Mr. Kim is perfect.

He's such a helpful professor. He's not always great at pronouncing things and it's a bit hard to understand what he's lecturing about but he always goes over his lectures multiple times if students don't understand. He's extremely enthusiastic and a really awesome professor.

he is really great teacher, just review the homework and the sheet that will be given before the midterms and you will get an A

Professor Kim is at first hard to understand but if you actually pay attention, you get the hang of what he's saying. His quizzes and tests are very similar to the hw and he does a decent job of teaching. He's very enthusiastic and actual makes it worth going to class. Actual the first time I've looked forward to going to math.

Professor Kim is a little difficult to understand, but once you get used to him, you'll find that he is extremely clear and helpful. He genuinely cares about his students and wants every single one of us to be able to take his exam and do well. Give Dr. Kim a chance; you won't regret it.

Love him! He gives you notecards on tests and the tests have like 3 problems that are the same as on his practice exams. Super funny guy. He really cares.

Professor Kim is an awesome professor. At first was hard to understand, but after a few days you will he able to understand him completely. I really liked his teaching style and how enthusiastic he was about calculus, it made lectures very interesting and pretty hilarious. He helps a lot for preparing midterms by giving practice exams.

One of the most entertaining teachers you will ever have, he is so excited to teach math it becomes almost bearable. His accent is a bit difficult to understand, but he makes up for it.

Kim is a hilarious teacher. He has a very heavy accent, so beware, you might not understand him. He gives a ton of homework, but you have unlimited tries to get it right. The class itself is really hard, but he does his best to make things clear and help you score well.

Dr. Kim is hilarious, I actually enjoyed a math class. He has a bit of an accent but if you actually pay attention you will understand everything and he offers extra credit.

The most passionate math teacher I have ever had!

Great professor, really enjoyed lectures and thought all the material we needed to know for tests was taught well.

He is an amazing professor who is also super humorous. Covers all the necessary material to make the exams easy.

Dr. Kim is a great math professor once you get passed his accent. He is always very happy and enthusiastic whenever he lectures. Class is always entertaining, its hard to believe that you are actually learning something too. He will give you practice exam questions that are nearly the same as the exam if you ask him. Pretty great class.

Hoe Woon is pretty amazing. His accent and manner of speech can be difficult to follow, but he always sure people are understanding what he's talking about. He covers everything necessary for the exams; if you can manage to do all the homework, you should be fine on the exams.

Dr. Kim is so passionate about math and is an amazing professor. He never moves on from a section without asking (and making sure) that everyone understands. He tells you everything to expect on a test and gives you all the sources and information to ace his tests, which are should be easy providing you went to lectures and did all the homework.

Dr. Kim is a great professor, tests are just like the practice exams he gives. He loves teaching and wants everyone to pass.

Kim will never ever depart too far from the textbook the math department will use for a course. In some ways this feels like it makes the course sluggish, however it makes his course very easy to study for. Often test problems are taken from the textbook problems too. This really helps students have a course they can very easily study for.

To piggyback off the last comment English is his second language, however Dr. Kim is a wonderful teacher. It is best to take advantage of his office hours and strive to receive 100% on all quizzes which he basically gives you the answers for. He is humorous, intelligent, and very caring. I would recommend him to anyone needing to take this class.

Hoe Woon, was by far my favorite math teacher that I have had throughout my educational career. The class itself was not hard, and the tests were very straightforward. The only reason I rated this class a 3 in difficulty was because it's kind of tough to understand him, but he knows that so he slows down and repeats things for you. He's also funny

Great teacher! Very engaging with students. However, accent is kinda heavy. He is super funny and tries to ensure students are learning the criteria.

even though he posts his lectures online, it is best to go to the lectures as well. There are times I feel like he doesn't explain the mathematical process very well, so I relied heavily on my amazing TA. Homework is optional, the book isn't great, there are quizzes weekly, and tests are fair. The tests are very similar to the practice test.

I took MTH 252 with Dr. Kim - he's a hilarious teacher who cares about student's understanding the material. The 2nd midterm and final were a little tough, but if you did the practice test, you'll do just fine.

He's absolutely hilarious, his lectures are extremely entertaining and engaging. He's very enthusiastic about teaching. His tests were very easy considering the subject, they only required a little bit of studying outside of doing homework and paying attention in lecture. At the end of the term there were extra credit single-quesiton pop quizes.

Initially I could not understand his accent, and I struggled through the first midterm. As the term progressed I could understand. He is genuinely nice and is obviously very good at math, and as for teaching it he got better as the term progressed. I wish he was teaching 254 because I would much rather have him again than some of the other options.

I love this guy! His lectures are engaging, his tests are totally manageable (nothing you haven't seen before), and he really wants you to succeed! He picks great TAs and worksheets that actually help you in recitation

He's super energetic and is excited about the material. He focuses on understanding the equations and their applications, which really made the class more interesting. He made me want to study more math, which is pretty uncommon. He'll be happy to talk to you about the material or his research, too.

Dr. Hoe Woon has a thick accent that creates a bit of a barrier but he is hilarious and thorough with what he teaches. His lectures are clear and he offers tons of practice for the exams. I recommend attending SI tables, going to math tutoring on campus or online, and doing all of the practice problems. Also meeting Dr. Hoe Woon in his office hours

Professor Kim genuinely cares about the class, and always comes to lecture with enthusiasm and energy. He goes over problems in depth and always answers questions to the best of his ability. Occasionally there is a language barrier but he is very clear for the most part. He gives out the usual homework load but grades fairly.

He's friendly, funny, and the class was not too difficult. He goes through lots of examples in class which is helpful.

Professor Kim is really nice and made math lectures really fun. He's also super smart and knowledgeable, will sometimes talk about interesting math related stuff in lecture. I enjoyed his class a lot more than I was expecting to considering I usually hate math.

Absolutely great professor. There's only so much vector calc. he can teach in a 50-minute lecture, so it's a lot of self studying. If you have any problems, reach out to him. Dr. Kim can explain anything in the textbook that you have trouble with. He is also super accessible by Canvas messaging. The homework is a lot, though.

This has been my most difficult class so far. The course work was heavy and the material was VERY challenging. The recitation work was often more challenging than anything you would see on the exams. But the professor graded easily and seemed to care about his students success. Always replied to emails quickly and was available during office hours

As many have commented, there is a slight language barrier. However, I took him for 254 and now understand him just fine. The coursework was surprisingly easy and tests were not challenging. The textbook was very helpful and homework was minimal. Overall great professor and great class.

I had Kim previously for 254 and his 341 class is so much easier. Its a flipped class so there's readings before hand but he reviews it in class. most of class time is spent on group work. If you have a question he'll explain it until you understand. he really wants you to learn the stuff. Overall linear algebra is easy if you pay attention
