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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)
