His Journalism 131 class was all online. he is very helpful and gives feedback on homework to make you a better writer. I would suggest him.
Don't even think twice about it. Take his class.
I had Dr. Kim for Honors English 132 for Winter 2012. His class was extremely engaging. I'll admit he grades on the harsher side but he lets you revise an unlimited amount of times. So you basically fail if you're lazy. He is a great instructor and I highly recommend him.
Kim is the best professor ever. He is very understanding and he will work with you. Kim will work his best to make you past the class. One of my favorite professors ever.
BEST TEACHER. Take him, you won't regret it, trust me. I've never liked English but this class was great.
Unlike other professors or instructors, Dr. Kim is one of the few who actually looks for improvement in a student. He allows you to comprehend your mistakes by offering revisions to all your work. As long as you have patience and fix all your mistakes according to your knowledge, will also give you the credit you deserve. I recommend him to all!
He is an amazing teacher. You get in groups and answer questions together. You get a chance to revise all your work to get a better grade. He is helpful and provides feedback on everything. I recommend him in a heartbeat!
One of my best English professors by far. Revolutionized the way I write which has greatly aided me when I transferred to a tougher institution. My only complaint is that his course may be a bit too easy. Didn't try and I got 107%...Great for a transcript though!
A fantastic English professor. He revolutionized the way I write which greatly helped me when I transferred to a harder institution. My only problem is that he may be a bit too easy. I didn't try very hard and got over 100%...
best Professor Ever !!!! Take him
Of all the professors that I have had, he has by far trumped them all. All of the assignments you do he hands them back to you, tells you exactally what is wrong with them and what you need to fix. It is impossible to pass his class with anything less than an A. He is kind-hearted and spreads his passion onto others. Switched major because of him.
By far the best teacher I've had so far. First thing he will tell you is that he wants you to pass. Tells you exactly what's wrong with your work and will keep accepting until you get 100%. Encourages dialogue group work joining the newspaper. Quiz answers are word for word in textbook. some questions are mini essays. Literally you cannot fail
Dr. Kim is the man! I took him for Jour 131 & he really helps students and does not want them to fail. He lets you redo assignments all you want until you get the grade you want. That is unlike any other teacher I've had. Because of this, I still remember alot of what I learned last semester cause I redid a lot of work. Def take him!
Dr. Kim is hands-down one of the best English teachers here at Henry Ford. He allowed unlimited re-writes on essays as an easy way to learn from your mistakes. One thing I found memorable was Kim's flexible due date schedule (He moved our paper two weeks later due to midterms!!). Highly recommended. Highly knowledgeable about Detroit.
NOT AS EASY AS EVERYONE THINKS! his grading system is very hard and asks for so much work. He'll grade you down for no reason!! DONT BE FOOOLLEDDD .
I took Eng132 with Dr. Kim online and I learned so much from this class. Dr. Kim allows you to revise for better grades which gives you the opportunity to not just learn from your mistakes but earn a better grade. I wish I had taken him for my previous English classes, he extends due dates and his grading is very fair. You earn what you deserve.
he is an amazing person! I thought ENG132 will be tough, but passed the class with an A+ You have to be lazy and an iddiot to fail his class. the book isn't required and gives you as many chances to revise your work to receive a 100. All assignments are discussed in class and given answers for in groups. No tests or quizzes
Mr. Kim is a great instructor I would recommend him to all my classmates. He is one of the best English teacher ever hes really there for you to help you learn.
Professor Kim was by far the best teacher I've had, he will make sure you pass the course. Always providing extra credit and opportunities to re-do past assignments and quizzes. He is clear with directions and is always very friendly. I haven't seen him without a smile in the 5 months I've known him
Amazing! Taking Eng132, TAKE IT WITH HIM! Very helpful and understandable, will also allow you to reviseedit your work multiple times until you get the score you want.
Dr. Kim is a great teacher. He knows his stuff very well, very organized, quick responder to your emails. In this class you have to read a lot. Discussion boards, research paper, and booklist assignment. You have to read order to do his homework, can't do it without reading. Very helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Kim. The Best Teacher Ever!!!
He is a very nice, helpful, not easy though you have to do your part order to pass. I highly recommend Dr. Kim
TOUGH.
Amazing teacher! Easily my favorite college professor!
i took this class online. the discussion boards are pages long and your have to prepare to read a lot. he does let you correct your mistakes but this class drove me crazy.
Dr. Kim is pretty good although some of the assignments were a bit hard. If you make a mistake on a discussion forum post, you have the option to fix it but you also have to explain your mistake and what to do to fix it. The research booklist was the hardest in my opinion. Fifty books total that have to fit in five genres. But overall, not too bad.
What can I say about Dr. Kim, that he is the best professor? I am glad I took him it was online but I learned so much from my mistakes that I made in my assignments. Thank You, Dr. Kim, for being an awesome teacher he is fair on so many levels.
I took him for the spring semester, the papers we had to read were a nightmare
Great teacher, I'm horrible at English and did 10x worse in the first English class than the second class. He really wants you to succeed and makes it very easy for you to. tries to keep the material interesting and light, replies really quick to emails. Always gives you a chance to revise a essay and get full credited. Super easy A.
Wonderful professor with reasonable amount of quizzes and writing assignments. 10 online quizzes. 5 essay assignments and an online final exam. The book is uploaded online and theres plenty of extra credit. Overall, easy A.
So easy to work with ! Each week there is one reading that the longest was maybe five pages. One forum per week and two essays. He gives you chances to redo assignments to get 100% in the class. Review survey for class is 10 points extra credit I mean really there is no reason to be failing . I waited two months on the wait-list and it was worth it
I took this class during the spring so we worked at a faster pace than you would during the fall or winter but it was still the easiest A I've ever gotten. He posts copies of the textbook online for you. One assignment due a week. 2 essays in total but allows you to correct stuff for a better grade. Take this prof!
Was a great course learned a lot during the spring semester. Recommend this professor to all students at HFC.
The online class was easy. There are a lot of writing assignments, but you get to use the book THAT HE GIVES YOU to reference everything. Also, he gives out a lot of opportunities for extra credit, and will allow you to do assignments over if you turned them in on time.
The class and all the field trips were incredible. didn't expect to retain so much info from one class. He gives the best feedback ever (he puts in the time and effort, so he expects the same from you). He is also a great person, always bought us donuts and coffee for the field trips. I could go on and on. Henry Ford College is lucky to have him.
Took this class for Spring and he is such a tough grader! But he does give you 2 chances to fix ur grade on ur assignment only if he gives you permission to. I would not take him again.
Very easy A. I took this class in the spring online and was only required to take a literacy exam which is a syllabus quiz, and he gives you two chances. Also, five discussion boards in which he allows you to fix and resubmitted if turned in on time. Lastly, one essay for a final exam which you can also revise. Easy class. Easy A.
He lets you redo all the assignments. There was one essay based on the forums we did throughout the semester. I really recommend this professor don't listen to the reviews that say otherwise.
I saw all the reviews and thought okay this doesn' sound bad because he was the best option for taking eng 132 online. I was so wrong, he grades extremely tough and comments on every little thing. I understand that he has to do that but he subtracts points on every grammar mistake not a whole bunch.I' trying my hardest in the class but I' strugglin
I loved this class. I took it online along with my program classes and I do not regret it at all. I enjoyed being able to write essays again and having my work corrected to make sure it was the best of the best. He gives you 2 chances when permission is given so you can have the full opportunity to get the grade you deserve.
Hes teaching is SOO Hard I saw the reviews and decided to take him. He is soo strict when comes to writing hes not your typical English teacher. Hes a great person but come on why dont you have to make so complicated yes he lets you correct the assignment but still he except you to deliver perfect work. His class is time consuming
Great Professor, He has a clear class and grading system, which is fair. He doesn't give a lot of work, but he does want you to have great writing skills. Even if you mess up and get a bad grade on an essay, he will let you do it again with the full grade available. Easy A if you really use the opportunity of second chances and redo the essay.
I took this class initially concerned for how it would turn out, even though I enjoy writing. We spoke on the phone and he laid out the five major assignments, talked through potential topics for each, and offered help if needed. He would send helpful information on my topic when asked. Quizzes weren't bad, feedback was great! Really enjoyed class!
Although this professor is a nice person, I truly would not recommend anyone take him online. He's super particular about every detail, most people receive bad scores on his assignments. I spent way more time than I should've on this class. His high ratings are very misleading- find any other professor.
If you take this class, you will quite literally have an essay due every week. He's a great person but his class stressed me out to no end. You do get a chance to fix every assignment but it's not worth it because the assignments require a lot of time and effort because he is not an easy grader.
This class was one of the easier classes I have taken. At first, I was very overwhelmed with the work, but once you get in the swing of things it is very easy. He is a great professor and offers many opportunities to have extra credit and redo the assignments for full points. He goes into great depth on your writing and gives great feedback. 10/10
the most awful professor I took with. I donot recommend anyone to take his class. His high ratings are very off. I was taking inorganic chemistry and anatomy and physiology biology and passed them with an A with less time spent on them than this class, he really mistreated me and made me re-do essays that had no mistakes
Class was hard at first, he is a tough grader, but he literally does not allow you to fail. He allowed me to redo an assignment like 4 times after saying he will give me one more chance because he really wants you to pass. You really do not have a choice with your grade because he will make you get an A. Really easy A, I would recommend!!
Best professor I have had at HFC hands down. He makes you work for an A but if you follow his directions and show effort its literally impossible to fail. If you aren't a good writer TAKE HIS CLASS his feedback will actually help you improve
Grades like were Harvard students
I took Dr. Kim's class online in 2021. He is an amazing professor even though there were not any zoom meetings. He replies to emails and questions very quickly and even offers phone calls during office hours. We had to write A LOT of papers but his feedback is detailed, VERY helpful, and made me become a better writer.
Amazing bro. You have one forum every week, you just read and answer 5-10 questions. He corrects it and you get to go back and correct your work for full points. He is always there for you and available to help! I turned in work late and it was accepted for full points. You have 2 essays, one midterm and one final but they all tie in together.
Dr. Kim is an excellent teacher. He help everyone to pass the class with a high grade. Very recommended. Enjoy!!
I took this class in the summer (8 weeks) I had 5 assignments and the final some had 10 questions and the rest had 5 questions. you have to read articles, essays, and stories If you like reading writing and history in English I recommend this class to you. you will have up to 2 times to revise your writing to earn a better grade on each assignment.
Dr.Peter Kim was a great professor. I took him for an eight-week English course. We had a total of 6 assingments.5 of the assignments were based on one story and other author's opinions of it. The last assignment was a final based on the first five assignments we did. If I needed to take another English course, it would be with Dr. Peter Kim.
He's a good professor, but a tough grader. He allows you to revise your forums and even the final for a better grade, but I took his class in the summer so I felt like his class took more time than it should. It was all focused on one short story followed by articles about that story, and it is heavily feminist; 1800s feminism, not the modern one.
Dr. Kim is very elaborated in what he wants from you in an assignment. He offers great feedback, and multiple chances at correcting your work. You are analyzing the textbook, and writing a lot, but he offers a tremendous amount of support, answers emails quickly, and even after office hour.
Professor Kim is a very tough grader he lets you correct all your mistakes on a homework but its so much work in this class and these stories he gave us were all about history
WARNING! This class is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. Unless you love to read HUGE textbook passages and write giant papers then DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. The work itself is pretty easy, but it's SO OVERWHELMING. Every assignment ends up being 1000+ words. Dr. Kim is a good professor, but he expects ALOT out of you. THIS IS NOT AN EASY A CLASS!
Wallahi my brothers and sisters. Do not I warn you DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. He will give you a hard time.
Colloquium was awesome taking it with him. The field trips were what made this class very engaging. Take it with him!
The professor is awesome! the work he gives might be a lot for some but does a good job and he answer emails fast.
Dr. Kim is good professor but a very tough grader and expects a lot out of you. He lets you correct all your mistakes on the assignments but it's so much work, these assignments require a lot of time and effort.
Professor is nice, understanding, lenient. But the work is just too much. There are 10 discussions and 2 book reports, but the discussions take as long or longer. I spent 15-20 hours on the discussions, a classmate spent a week on one. I cannot stress how much work there is. But he offers a lot of extra credit. Treat this like a 5 credit class.
Mr. Kim is my favorite professor There are 10 forums,one midterm&final. He allows us to use the forums we wrote to write our final&midterm papers. We can also redo the forums to get a better grade Also midterm&finals can be redone. He is great. I didnt turn in the paper when my grandma was in the hospital, so he gave me an extra week to do it.
Great professor, clear instructions, gives feed back and even has a text reminder to remind you about assignments due. If you do the work you should have no issue getting an A.
He's a pretty cool guy, but his class is insane. 10 discussion forums and 10 "quizzes" for the online summer course. There's two of each a week and the "quizzes" are basically like five page papers if you do them right. He grades really tough, but he does give you two attempts. The actual content of the class is easy, just a crazy amount of work.
Professor Petter Kim is an amazing professor, he cares so much about his students and wants them to learn. He provides a lot of extra credit that you can boost your grade. He allows correction for full credits so if you do your work you'll definitely pass with an A. Mid-term and final are allowed to be corrected as well. I learned so much from him.
I took his course over the summer so we only had to do 4 forums, and one research essay. He gives you multiple times to resubmit for a better grade and gives good feedback. He is a very tough grader, but he will let you redo assignments. Honestly, it is a lot of reading but overall a very easy class to take in the summer.
This professor is truly the finest. He gives chances but it has to be done within a week. He expects a lot from his students but is always willing to help them out. He's a great role model for professors. There are four forums, one final essay, and extra credit. My score was 103.57 out of 100. TAKE HIMM!!
This course is my favorite so far! Even online, the professor is super accessible. Quizzes are open book, and he allows multiple revisions for the three major assignments. To add, there are loads of extra credit opportunities. In all, Professor Kim is such a caring and inspirational instructor, I highly recommend anyone to learn under him.
As everyone says, the professor is nice, but his weekly assignments are ridiculously long. 15 questions, each one has a minimum of 5 parts. It will not take you any less than 15 hours to complete an assignment. You have to explain EVERY SINGLE MISTAKE he marks and explain what you learned. Correcting a SMALL mistake will take you minimum an hour.
I came back to life after this class ended. Dr. Kim is awesome, but the courseload was insane. It was equivalent to 9 credit hours for me. Personally, Eng Comp is difficult, boring, and stressful already, so I wish I would have taken an in-person class with another teacher. I enjoy being challenged, but this was too much.
ENG-132 is a heavy course and needs a lot of work, but professor Kim is super helpful and i am learning many things from him. You,ll not fail with him because he'll let you correct your assignment. I really appreciate his hard work, highly recommended.
Professor Kim is a great professor. I was nervous considering my bad experience with English professors but he made English very enjoyable. He does require a lot of work, but I found that it benefitted me and it is very doable if you have like an hour or two a week (MAX) to study for his class. I would definitely recommend him. He lets you revise!
He is a very tough grader and he makes it very hard to get a good grade, he gives a minimum of 10 hours of homework a week. Would not recommend taking him.
This teacher will grade you like your life depends on it. He's an amazing teacher and nice but his grading will annoy you. No matter how good you may be at this subject you'll still end up doin bad. He grades very tough
A great professor! He lets you retake quizzes and gives you corrections that are easy to understand. He also has easy extra credit that you can do to bring your grade up. I would recommend taking him!
It's an ok class, not hard but it's just reading from the book and taking quizzes and 3 big new writing projects. He lets you redo the points you miss in the writing projects.
The teacher is just a very tough grader he marks down point for the littlest things right now I am struggling with his class he lets you redo the assignment he's a nice teacher but hell take down point for any reason takes his grading to seriously.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!! Only one quiz a week and 3 news writing assignments for the whole semester. He offers extra credit for submitting an article for the student newspaper and doing a course evaluation. 100% would recommend
Dr. Kim assigns 6 forums and 6 quizzes in the summer. No late work is accepted. Quizzes are written and open-book, but EXTREMELY time-consuming (20+ hrs), so do NOT procrastinate. He grades very strictly. Forums are written after watching a video which you summarize and answer questions for. You have to cite sources for every answer.
Amazing amazing amazing professor! He is very very easy going, and loves when you participate in class. You will for sure love to take him!
Let's you do corrections on all assignments, so it is pretty easy, just a lot of work that is repetitive after a while, but understandable for a research-based class. NO test/quizzes, just 8 forums and 2 essays! Also offers extra credit! VERY VERY critical and wants detail and specific answers (Reasonable but annoying)
Assignments are clearly explained and he allows revisions for a better grade and extra credit opportunities! Each assignment is easily understood and midterm and final are easy as long as you revise your forums
Super Nice professor, simple work just gives a discussion every week and a test maybe every week ot two weeks
great teacher tbh, he always gives back your assignments to redo them until you get bored because he doesnt, i always redid them until i got 40s everytime, tough grader though, grades on the simplest things. would take again. dont know how he is in person but seems like a genuine guy
Dr. Kim is a must-take educator! His passion is contagious, making the course unforgettable. He fosters a love of learning in a safe environment. Field trips were a highlight, bringing concepts to life. He invests in students, and his critical thinking lessons stick with you long after class. If you see Dr. Kim on the course list, SIGN UP directly.
TAKE HIM!!!! He was so sweet and caring and the class is so easy all u have to do is split the work during the week and your good becuz its only a little bit of work each day. Not a lot of work at all tbh and its a easy A class loved him and I would def recommend to take him he's a king!
