I took professor King for both sections of PSCI and I'd take her for every class I have if I could get away with it. Her ability to not only push you, but do it in a way that gets the best out of you in a natural way actually had me contemplating a PSCI major for a while. She's also always available to talk to you if you need anything.

This class is really hard and there's a lot of work. You have to get a subscription to the NYTIMES and they only send them to certain zip codes so most likely you will have to pick it up from UNT everyday, you also have work due every friday and her notes are all abrieviated so you have to decrypt them everyday.

Dr. King keeps you interested but in order to get an A in this class you need to read the following: New york times, Her notes, The book, Work book pages, and Internet readings.

She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her subject, but you have to be to make an A in the class.

Passion gets used too much these days, but this lady truly has a passion for what she does, she cares, and is willing to help out with any situation. You should take her for any class that you have at UNT. She is what teaching is all about. She should be a role model for the rest of the UNT teaching staff. Hats off for a great job Dr. King!

LOVE KING!! Wish I could take her again! She was so enthusiastic and cares a LOT about her students. Her lectures are really interesting and she gives out extra credit like candy. I got Bs on the exams but still ended up with a 102 final grade because I had over 50 extra credit points so do the XC. Attendance is a must because of the clickers.

Best professor on campus! Professor King is caring and wants to help students, as long as they help themselves. She does not tolerate laziness and you will have to do the assignments. But there is a ton of extra credit opportunities in case you do really bad on a test. If you fail this class it will be your own fault!

King is by far one of the best professors at UNT. Her energy for every lecture allows you to stay up no matter if it is a 9AM class. However, don't be fooled, you will not pass if you do not read on your own. Her lectures are fast paced with overwhelming material content. If you make flashcards of key points especially court cases, that will help!

It seems stupid to NOT get an A/B in this class, but it's possible with the clicker grades/mandatory attendance. Homework is online MC & short answer Qs, & some MC from the HW will be on the exams.

Dr. King is a very knowledgeable professor but this class was very scattered. The syllabus, rubrics, and information were often conflicting and it's almost impossible to get an email response from her or the TAs. The Moot Court assignment seemed unnecessary and overcomplicated. I did enjoy the content of the class, I feel like I learned a lot.

I fail to see how King has such a high rating. She is belittling to all her students and blames the dereliction of one individual on the entire class. I'm a 4.0 junior, and her class was the first I've EVER dropped. I just couldn't take the routine fussing anymore. Because of her class, I wholly abandoned my Political Science minor.

I have honestly no idea why her rating is so high. Demeaning and uncaring, thinks she's so benevolent for giving out &quot;ample extra credit opportunity&quot; but every piece of extra credit is not only worth one point, but incredibly difficult. To put that in perspective, the web text assignments (which she assigns 2-3 per week) are worth 100 points EACH.

King is knowledgeable and goes through a lot of effort to help every student. That being said, she does go quick, so don't take this class if you don't take notes well. Also, she gives a lot of EC. Each point of EC goes directly to the final exam, so 40 EC points + a 60 on the exam means you still get 100, or you can get more than 100%.

This course scarred me for life. I have extensive knowledge of this subject matter and could not score a decent grade on an exam. I thought that I needed to think more simply, as it's a basic course, and that didn't work, either. My JD mother, with her undergrad in polisci, said that course was all over the place.

Absolutely love professor King, she is an queen. You can zoom in even though it's an in person class, just make sure to always pay attention to the in class clicker that she uses. The clicker is used as your attendance/participation grade. Tests are open note, but I HIGHLY recommend that you study. There are MULTIPLE opportunities for extra credit!

Professor King gives entertaining lectures and uses lots of modern examples. Minor assignments and quizzes add up, skipping a few will affect your grade. All quizzes and exams are open note but you really should study beforehand as they are timed. She gives lots of opportunities for extra credit both in-class and outside. Great professor.

This is an okay class and you get lots of extra credit opportunities for the final exam which is always a plus. The professor is nice but she has TA's who you'll talk to more if you have any issues. You'll need to study hard to pass the tests because they aren't easy. Anything else like the assignments and quizzes is pretty normal and okay.

The only way to fail Prof. King's class is to refuse to do the work. The sheer amount of extra credit she gives out is the most I've ever had in a college class. The only tedious thing is the online book-work load, but since it's literally the textbook from the class, I suppose it could be much worse. She's an entertaining lecturer.

I think it's very hard for you to fail this class. She constantly is giving extra credit assignments and even her regular assignments are easy. This class also offers a supplemental instructor so there's a lot of resources to help. She doesn't take attendance asks questions during class that is part of your grade, so it forces you to attend.

I had Dr. King for 2305 & 2306 and she was amazing. If anyone complains, they were probably lazy and didn't show up. She gives out extra credit like Opera and is very clear with her grading/syllabus. Tells you in the lecture what is on the tests. Write the "I care you know" and do your extra credit and you'll get an A+.

Dr. Kimi King is a nice lady, her class isn't hard, but it is hard to discern important from non-important info in her lectures. The class and workload itself is very manageable, but her lectures feel chaotic and unorganized. Her "extra credit" is plentiful but difficult to attain. If you are looking for an easy but solid class, take Kimi King.
