Jason Kim is not a good teacher. He does not have patience. He does not explain the material, you're basically learning from the book on your own. When you ask him a question, he tells you to ask your classmate. I passed his class only because I had to get a tutor. If I had to take this class again, it would not be with him.
I don't think I could have learned math without this teacher. He is helpful and caring, not to mention funny and sweet. I love you Mr. Kim.
Not a very good "teacher". His way of teaching is to study the workbook and do hoemwork during class. Doesn't clarify material, very defensive and somewhat impatient. Only positive from this professor: he gives you the chance to make up quizzes which will increase your average for the class if needed. Sorry but i don't recommend him at all
Prof Kim was a great teacher who knows what he is talking about. All he does is teach out of a workbook but if you pay attention you will pass is class an the final. I think he is a great choice.
He's a really good teacher. If you're taking Math 05 or about to, I recommend you have days that you get tutoring and study often because he class isn't hard due to you having to memorize so many formulas but overall he's there to help you and he teaches very good.
He understands that math means practice and you should practice so he is good at pointing out where you made mistakes. The fact that he created the workbook and the answer key (with procedure) was greatly appreciated. Good lecturer if not a little fast, but patient with questions.
Helps you understand material if you need help
He is the best professor at BCC. It's very easy to understand his lecture and his answer sheets help a lot for exams. He is a very good explainer. He will be there if you have any questions. I was almost giving up math but I passed on his course!
Definitely a good choice. I can understand the material because of the way he presented it. He created his own book that he hands out for free which is awesome you don't have to spend money on another textbook. He works with you. There's a quiz every week which really reinforces your understanding of the material. If you put in effort you'll pass.
He is a OK!!! professor. Pro's he gives you a text book he made for free. 2 weeks before the semester ends he gives you a chance to repeat all failed quiz to boost your final class grade. Cons when asking a question he will tell you to just read the text book. He has a thick accent, He moves like the speed of light... I have no idea how i learned!!
Moves slowly in the beginning but then two weeks before the semester finishes he crams the remaining chapters and completely loses you. He does give you a chance to boost your lowest grade by retaking quizzes. but doesn't help with anything else. He acts like he doesn't care and is rude likes to keeps students waiting. Also heavy accent.
Pofessor kim is the best math prof.i have had . I am still in shock i cant believe i passed Math 05 after my 3rd attempt with an 100 thanks to Prof. kim He goes really fast on his lectures so be prepared to pay attention and study a lot. Do all of your hw and dont miss a class, he will make sure he helps you as much as he can so that you will pass
Professor Kim has his own personal style math book he is calm, cool and collective. He has never gave up on me and he takes time and goes to the blackboard and his lectures are Awesome. He shares and he cares you must know a little bit about Math 01 to have a full understanding of Math 05. If you did not understand Math 01 than you will not pass
Professor Kim Is awesome he prepare worksheets for his students he give you the time of the day and extra time. He prepare his workbook along with answers where as you can study on your own and check the answers. He gives you practice worksheets, but you must know a little about Math 01 rules before taking Math 05.
I can talk about Professor Kim all day with nothing but Excellence he talks to you he gives you encouragement. He is honest he don't beat around the bush he is a hard workers and he wants his students to learn. He prepares and awesome workbook along with practice worksheet and the answer. His lectures are very informative and awesome
Most of the work is done through the course book/Home work. He'll provide feedback on the work you're doing, and also lets you retake any test you may have failed in his class.
This professor does not teach, he sends you to the lecture notes and tutoring. He advises you sit next to smart classmates and ask them for help. His lectures are short and speedy. If you object to his style, he gets a bit arrogant and advises you to take another class. If you need remedial algebra, I do not recommend him at all.
Don't take him,he gives you two books he wrote to teach yourself from,he leaves class frequently,he shows up late and puts a few examples on the board and expect you to know it. Horrible professor.
worst teacher ever. He gives you a book and you basically have to teach yourself every single thing. I asked him a question from the book and he just sat on his phone and told me look at the back of the book. the book has a bunch of mistake and he frequently leaves class to talk on the phone or go for walk outside
IF YOU HAVE A HARD TIME WITH MATH DO NOT TAKE HIM I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE HIM, STAY FAR AWAY!!!!! he doesnt teach , whenever you ask him a question or having a hard time understanding something all he would say is "sit next to the smartest person" he doesnt take the time to explain ANYTHING. he expects you to teach yourself math.
Very helpful and very nice. He makes you ask for help first to your peers and if they don't know then you can ask him. He teaches first then makes you do it on your own by using lectures notes that helps you. If you're nice to him, he's nice to you.
I would not recommend anyone to take this professor for statistics & probability. He barely teaches, and when he does, its quick, and most of the time, you are doing the work from a book that he made up himself. The answers are on the back of the book, You barely learn in his class, he grades you, according to your test scores and nothing else.
He seems caring, encourages tutoring, study groups, gives tips on note taking & lets you retake every exam that you failed or didn't do so good on. He creates his own workbooks that other professors use as well. He doesn't like repeating himself though & can be tough but he also tries makings jokes to keep the class entertained. He's not too bad.
Jason Kim is a great Professor. He gives you his own workbook so you dont have to buy the textbook(his workbook is golden). My advice to you is start a study group and study together. If you dont practice you wont pass. I managed to get through this class with minimal studying and an A+ because of my study group.
If you have a difficult time with Math, math is just not your Subject I suggest that you take professor Kims class. Honestly one of the best math classes I have ever taken. You dont need to buy a text book for his class. he gives you A little text book that he wrote himself He explained very thoroughly of the topic that you guys might be on.
Prof. Kim is the guy you would want to go to if you have been taking remedial math over and over again (like me). He creates his own textbook that has good practice problems and notes and towards the back of the book he includes his own hand written answers. Just like in any math class, in order to pass you actually need to study on your own time.
This professor is great! If you would like someone to show you step by step how to do math problems 100 times this is your professor. He does not move onto the next thing until you get it. He is very honest and motivational. As long as you pay attention and do not be afraid to ask questions if you are confused; you will pass with an easy A
One of the many things that I do not like about Jason Kim is that he only checks his emails once a week and encourages you to work with others outside of the classroom. Sadly, I had to take him over the summer for a 3weeks course and it was a nightmare. It was hard to reach him after class, and he gives you sarcastic answers.
OK this class on line was super hard. It was a 3 week class and the homework is just as much as a regular semester. He is a hard grader to get a B- i had to do a make up exam and 5 page research paper on the importance of statistics in the word. I was happy with my grade and it was good enough for a 3 week class that was really hard.
If you do the work, you will pass this class; he has videos posted on Blackboard that you can review anytime you want. He makes sure that you get what is thought to you, be prepared to answer questions during lectures.
This is not an easy class, but he gives you more than enough resources to be successful (lecture videos on BB & txtbook w/ steps on how to solve problems). He will guide you and answer your questions, so be active. He is kind, funny, and fair. He is a tough grader but tells you how to improve. He makes the class very affordable. Excellent prof!
I took Prof. Kim during summer 2020 for Statistics. He is a very fair professor and he really had numerous resources ready for students to ensure they have everything available to make the class easier and possible to pass. If you truly put your work into it,do the assigned work, then getting an A is more than possible. Highly Recommend!!!
Professor Kim is very nice and fair. He is the type of prof who makes things easy for his students and tries to make his students pass the course. Im not good at math but his statistics class was not difficult because he gave us all the materials we need such as workbook, answer keys, and tutorial videos. I highly recommend his course.
he's a good professor and he wants that his students pass the class with good grades.
He is the worst professor I have ever taken I honestly ever taken I dropped his math 23 class this summer he was HORRIBLE DO NOT TAKE HIM IF YOUR NOT GOOD WITH MATH HE DO NOT CARE ABOUT HIS STUDENTS HE GAVE NO SYLUBUS AND WAS RUSHING THROUGH WORK HE GAVE VIDEOS REFUSE TO EXPLAIN RUSHED THROUGH EVERYTHING IT WAS JUST THE WORST EXPERIENCE IV EVER HAD
Professor Kim is a person who is in demand, unreasonable he provides videos for his class, you are basically self-thought, then for the upcoming class, he just goes over the entire page. If the professor is not in the mood don't dare to ask a question, his response will be "did you watch the video, then watch it again". professors are here to help.
I would not recommend him if you struggle in math. You are basically teaching yourself, and he rushes through lectures. If you ask a question, he will ask if you watched the video or get mad at you. He does provide a textbook and workbook for free but be prepared to do chapters of homework at a time.
He provides no syllabus at all and makes you attend class on days where school is closed or is a different schedule. For example, on Columbus Day he still made us show up to class. On top of that, he isnt very understanding and doesnt teach properly to someone who isnt great at math. DO NOT TAKE HIM UNLESS ITS YOUR LAST OPTION.
Loved every bit of it. The best math class I ever took , Reading ahead is a norm and it made me understand things on my terms even before class started. Take his class! You wont regret it
This is a tough class and not a class to play around with . Kim provides his own textbook and videos explaining each chapter which is great and guided me throughout the whole semester. He gives a quiz after every chapter and gives extra credit assignments in the end . He is the best professor to take with an intense class like this . Good luck !
Professor Kim provides you with a workbook and homework book he made himself. He provides answer keys so you can check yourself as you progress and see the steps. You must watch a video ranging from 10 minutes to 3 hours depending on the lesson before the class. While he is very knowledgeable and humble. His teaching method didn't work for me.
Professor Kim is a very great professor. He provides the textbook that he uses and also created on his own. He makes videos that are very helpful . He explains everything! ASK QUESTIONS!! He is very helpful and attend every class. He calls on random students to make sure they understand what he is teaching so don't get offended if he calls on you.
Professor Kim is truly amazing. If you dont ask questions and keep the Lines of communication open he wont know if you are struggling. He makes sure everyone in his class is present not only in physical form but mentally. If he calls on you its to make sure you know the material. Its nothing personal. So camera and focus is a requirement.
This is pretty much a self tough class. Kim provides a video detailing and explaining each chapter. You simply view the video before class and he'll give a quick run down of the chapter in class. Ask a question his response will likely be to "watch the video again", gives little explanation while in class and moves at the speed of light.
It was a short and intensive learning experience for me and I did appreciate it. Pr Jason is a great professor and encourages the ones willing to challenge themselves. Communication is the best way to work with Pr Jason. Be focus, ask questions and participate, participate. Be a learner, a good learner. Use Lecture and Homeworks. Good luck.
Do not take this class if math is not your strong area. You basically have to teach yourself. This professor holds the smarter students on a high pedestal while belittling the ones who are not so smart. When you need help he is sarcastic and tells you to ask a smarter classmate for help. You must pass all exams and finals to pass this class.
Do not take this professor. Basically you have to teach yourself. He will tell you to watch a video before class and during the class he will say the same. When it comes to exams he teach something and on the exam he will change the question in a way that you don't understand and if you ask questions he will say "Figured it out yourself" Horrible!
It was a pleasure taking this class. Great teacher that takes the time to create so much material for students to utilize. I have seen very few professors that take the time to do this. If it wasnt for that I would not make it. He tells you from day 1, watch the videos and do homework. I should have listened the first time around!
He makes you watch videos before class. Teaches very fast, bad attitude
Professor Kim is a great teacher. I am not great in math but he made all the effort to get the entire class to understand the work. He's extremely understanding & caring and not once gave up on the class. He allowed us to make up missing work and gave us many chances to earn higher grades. He is also hilarious , I would def recommend him.
Do not take this class! I repeat do not take this class!!! Get a different professor because this one is the worst one Ive ever interacted with. He does not teach the class he makes you watch videos that have been pre-recorded and then sometimes goes over it in class and contradicts everything he said in the videos and has a nasty attitude.
Its unfair when students who dont want to study blame professors for their failure. Initially I thought prof Kims homework was too many but I later understood why he gave so many homework; the more you practice, the better you become. He created lots of materials to help students understand better; videos, solution keys etc. He is a great prof.
I dropped his class because it was 3hrs every evening, he makes us take exams on video. Math is hard for me, it has always been so one thing is me doing poorly in private but taking an exam for this class when I didnt understand anything broke me. I cried on camera, got off of the zoom and went straight to drop the class.
Difficult to work with.
Do yourself a favor and pick another professor!
He just going to have you sit in class and watch a video.
This class is a hard class solely based on the amount of work that needs to be learned for this test. Professor Kim's style is hybrid and the videos that he makes you watch are the lectures that he pre-records. I could pause and rewind them to listen, he does not require paying for textbooks and the professor himself makes everything you need.
For STATS this is the best option. He gives a test about every week or so and drops the lowest two. That means the final does not count for as much and you can still pass if you manage high grades on at least 4 or 5 tests. He is clear, organized, and straight forward. Stay on top of the work and you will do well. + His generosity= hard to fail.
The ratings on here made me nervous to join this class but after taking this class I realized it wasn't bad, you really just have to put in the work. Professor Kim is a great professor, he wants to make sure that all students pass and understand the work! Doing the homework and studying is highly recommended if you want to pass the tests.
This professor goes above and beyond expectations. He created a book to teach statistics and probability in addition to having his lectures recorded for students to use and watch when having difficulty. I was horrible in math, after taking this class I was tutoring. This professor can be flexible of you reach out and DO THE WORK. Best professor!
I struggled at first in this course. Thanks to Professor Kim that motivated me and encouraged me to continue, I was able to complete the course and continue on my academic journey.
I would not recommend any student that is not a math major or have at least taken the class once before. He does not speak clearly for one was confusing . if you had a question he stated its in the homework just look at the answer key. 6-7 students dropped course He was sure to let us know that some students that taken his class 5-6 times to pass.
couldn't really understand him during the test
'I'm a nice guy' his favorite saying swear the worst in my life, if you struggle with math dont take him, i had accommodations for extra time on test and he was saying my acoommodations wasnt vaild which he isnt allowed to do, he gave the lady at the disability office a hard time even she was disgusted by his behavior. this was for MTH 28.5
be lucky i cant curse. thats your rating
absolutely not, only good thing is his textbook he makes otherwise, no. NO NO NO. im seriously dont do it to yourself and if hes your last resort pray, and go to tutor regularly, this is for MTH28.5
This course was an easy one. Mr Kim, summarized the text book, we also watched his videos on youtube where he taught each topics. I followed his advice to practice 2 hours each day and after that everything was ABC. Critical thinking needed.
Professor Kim was awesome. I didn't have the best math skills coming in and it made me extremely nervous. But I was blessed to have him a prof. He records lectures and detailed explanations for each topic. Yes he is a tough teacher but only to students who don't show interest and who don't participate. Very strict and stern. Just how I like it.
Professor Kim is underrated.. one of the most caring professors to have. He makes passing so easy! His lectures are prerecorded so if you need to revisit what was taught in person & learn at your own pace you can. He works with you & is full of so much personality, compassion & passion ! GREAT Professor overall.
The only way you can fail his class is if you're not putting the work in. Good guy !!
Great Prof! Deep understanding of the material & presents it in ways that make you think.Tough class, genuinely committed to helping his students succeed. He encourage question,provide support, ensure everyone grasps the concept. Despite my struggle, I truly appreciated his dedication and teaching style.Thank you, Professor Kim, for your commitment
Professor Kim gave homework that was tailor fitted to follow online lecture videos. Which was awesome. Attendance was important to go over homework and be introduced to the following chapter you will work on. If you do the homework and go over the lecture he has on you tube you will do well. He is an amazing professor. Very charismatic.
Professor Jason Kim's class is not for the weak. You must watch online recordings before class and present questions during the lecture. In my opinion, it was an effective teaching method. You MUST set aside time to study outside of class. It is possible to pass with a reputable grade. You just have to work for it.
I dont recommend. His class is insanely difficult, mostly due to his teaching methods. I took this class with 3 student who had taken the class before with him and didnt pass. He doesnt explain or answer questions well. If your especially not good at math, pls look for a different professor.
Professor Jason Kim is a great math professor. He prepares you for any test he gives, he explains things well and he is entertaining. Just do your part and all is good in this class
Professor Jason Kim is truly an excellent professor. He is incredibly knowledgeable caring , understanding and also very lenient as long as he sees you're making an effort. He genuinely wants everyone to succeed and will always try to find a way to help you pass, even if you're having a hard time. He will he;p you as long as you are trying.
Math has never been my strongest subject, and I almost dropped this class due to the amount of workload. But the professor's structure, clear lectures, tutorial videos, and practice materials made all the difference. Believe it or not, I got an A- in math! If you are willing to put in 1-2 hours a day, this class is totally doable. I recommend it!
If you think you're good or smart for this class then go ahead..In my opinion he has favorites.He will see how you are in the very beginning.Once he realizes who are the smart one he would treat them kindly or different from others.Asking for help but never help just ended up repeating the same thing as I said.I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Professor Kim is awesome. He has videos lectures online that you can watch to have a better understanding. In class, he answers all your questions. I advise you guys to take his class. If you do, you're going to pass just like I did.
Honestly Prof. Kim was an amazing teacher. I took this class during the summer and we only had 15 days and I feel as he genuinely cares. If you ask questions and put in the time outside the class you will definitely pass.
Honestly, I just got back in school after 10 years. I was afraid of math especially not being my strongest subject. Prof. Kim is an excellent teacher. I have to be honest you have to be on point in learning and study at home. He will help, if you have any questions. Don't be afraid to ask questions. I recommend him. Thank you so much Prof. Kim!!
Prof. Kim is one of the best math professors I have ever had. I say it because he does not give up on you as a student. The fact that he shares his struggle when he was a student, gives you a chance to understand that you have the chance to make a difference, he proves to be one of the rocks you can depend on.
Excellent professor! He gives you many opportunities to pass his class. You will make an A if you do your homework an study. :)
