Very nice. Very smart. Very, very good teacher. He can make the hardest subject seem easy. Very good at explaining concepts and draws lots of visuals. Lectures not too boring, and tests not too hard. I definitely recommend him! He's new.

Dr. Kim S provided a very positive experience with this course. His tests were extremely fair. Quizzes were short and easy and if you did most of your homework you received full credit. His lectures are clear and to the point. He does very well in trying to motivate the subject. Great professor!

Had this guy for precal and he was pretty good at getting the material across. Gets visibly irritated when you ask simple questions, which can intimidate you from asking anymore.Homework was mandatory and he had a large curve. I know because I passed. Overall nice guy, just pay attention and don't procrastinate on the homework.

took 380 with him, taking 450 right now, looking forward to 475. great teach, curves, always willing to help. class is fun and he knows his stuff.

I don't know whether it was because of him or the material but for an upper division math class it seemed way too easy. Take him and you won't fail.

Kim is great! Despite his accent, he is very clear and a great teacher. His tests can be a little tough, but he is a VERY fair grader and throws a nice curve on the class. As long as you pay attention in class you will get a decent grade. He is very helpful and kind.

Very easy. my only math background during college was Calc 119A and this was sooo easy. The class is made up mostly of freshmen so he treats it like it's your first college math course.

If math is second nature to you, his class will be relatively easy. If not, you'll have to put in some extra effort out of class lectures. He posts old tests as study guides and he allows a cheat sheet during exams. Only get the book if you feel that the class is really hard after the first exam.

This class is HARD. Even though he gives you a cheat sheet it's still hard. The problems he presents are easier than the ones on the exam. I had to withdrawal even though i studied hard, got tutoring, sat in front and recorded his lectures. Don't take this class period. I got A's and B's in he rest of my classes.

Don't see why there is a dislike for Kim. He's a really nice guy and loves what he teaches. He tells you exactly what will be necessary in the class. Cheat sheets for every test. No homework, 3 100 point midterms, a 200 point final, and 50 points worth of attendance. He even puts extra credit on the tests. If you are taking Stat 108, take him.

I liked his class. Yes, he does have an accent but it's doable and he explains the material until we get it. He collects homework and grades every problem, a plus since I actually feel forced to do it, quick/ez quizzes, and fair exams! I recommend him! My favorite class of the semester :D

Sung Kim is a great professor! His class isn't hard at all if you just show up, pay attention, and listen to his examples! Just use his sample midterms to study and you should get an easy A. He has an accent, but you can still learn from him. He even cracks jokes here and there & he's really generous when it comes to grading. Take him!

Stats is a hard class to begin with, so pay attention and do the hw. It's very helpful. Short quizzes all the time. Very thick accent.

Even though its a lecture hall you must go for attendance points. It may seem like a drag but those extra 50 points help a lot on the grade. He explains the problem step by step and is a great prof. I would recommend him. He has a thick accent so you have to pay close attention to what he says.

BEST STATS PROFESSOR. I don't know any other stats 108 professor that doesn't require homework or text. Very funny guy. Thick accent, but totally worth it. He grades very very fairly. Study hard. Because there is no homework to cushion your grade, every point matters. Attendance is mandatory. The points help a lot. Great guy. Easy A.

Prof. Kim has a very thick Korean accent. Make sure to do the homework for practice and attend class. He funny and very helpful! He let me take a make up exam when I was absent. Pretty lenient with grading exams. He wants everyone to pass his class, but you need to put in effort. Do the homework even though it is not mandatory!!

Kim was one of the coolest math teachers I've had. Despite his thick Korean accent, you can still understand him and he will throw jokes too. His examples are very helpful and are pretty much all what you need to know. He's also very fair with grading. Don't buy the textbook but DO take this class!

He is extremely fair in his grading and he is willing to help the students class. PRINT THE CLASS NOTES AND TAKE THEM TO CLASS WITH YOU. It will be so easy to take notes on them. You HAVE to study if you want to do well. I suggest getting the book but the recent edition is not necessary. buy it used. Do the hw to study and use the sample tests.

Great class for catching up on Game of Thrones

Professor Kim is the best Stats professor! He's very nice and he's willing to help students out whenever they need help. You don't need the textbk unless you want to do the hw (which isn't mandatory). Class attendance is mandatory though. Just study his previous tests that he posts on BeachBoard and you'll be good to go! Very fair in grading :)

Kim is the best stats professor. Come to class, pay attention, and take good notes. Attendance is mandatory. Study practice exams beforehand. He gives extra credit on exams. So far, I have an A. Don't buy the textbook.

He was an easy grader and pretty much wanted everyone to do well. He curves. However, his class did not prepare me well for Stat 381.

His tests aren't that difficult if you know the material. 3 in-class tests and a cumulative final. Around 9-10 online homework assignments. Gives a well-defined study guide for each test.

I hope he switches back to Pearson, because WileyPlus is so glitchy. Anyway. This is mostly a self-study class. He has an accent, though it doesn't really affect his teaching that much. His writing isn't exactly neat so I recommend you to sit towards the front. Do your work, study, go to class and you will do perfectly fine.

3 Exams & 1 Cumulative final. He will allow 1 double sided cheat sheet for each and will also give a study guide for each. Exams are not that difficult (105 possible points but worth only 100 pts aka 5pts free). Online homework is multiple choice and get two attempts before points start being deducted. Passes around a sign in sheet for attendance.

The only real problem with this teacher is with his speech. Even though he is using a microphone he still is incapable of speaking loud enough. The slight accent doesn't help either. BUT if you are able to concentrate and listen in class then you will find that he is a decent teacher. The material is only hard if you are lazy as hell. Easy class.

At first glance this professor doesn't seem like the best to take for Stats 118, but I'm glad I did because he's nothing but flexible and always more then willing to lend out a helping hand to those that need it. The class is really well structured and when it comes to exams there are no surprises. You want to pass? You have to work for it. 1010

He is very helpful if you are looking for more examples or extra practice. Sometimes his lectures are confusing so getting extra help from a friend is extremely helpful. Homework and quizzes every week but very helpful for test. Only 3 tests and a final. Overall its not too difficult, if you really struggle with math I wouldn't take due to accent

I learned mostly from the online homework and quizzes. He does have an accent which can be difficult to understand at times, but his examples in class are very clear and are extremely helpful. He gives extra credit on tests and the material is well explained. Easy B, you'll get an A if you try!

He means well, tough to understand with the accent but you get used to it. The first test is pretty much the sample test, after that you can't rely on the sample tests too much. Do the HW and quizzes, tests are curved by ten points. There's been times where i thought I failed and got a B or an A. Overall a nice guy.

Pretty good teacher. Can be tough to understand w/ accent but funny guy. It cracks me up that he always refers to smoking when giving examples. The HW is online; recommend working on it during class to save time. Don't completely ignore lectures though. 1st test easy next 2+ final moderate difficulty. Only complaint is the seats are very crammed

Lectures based on bk's powerpoints and he just reads the slides and then gives examples on the projector. Homework assigned per chapter and it's online. HW sometimes can be tricky but if u go into his office hrs, he's very helpful about leading you to get the right answer. Sample test given before each test; each test curved 10 pts!

Professor Sung Kim takes attendance with roll sheet and you lose points if you are not signed in. Emphasis on signed in. No textbook required. Study test powerpoints and you'll be okay. Really fun guy, but accent makes it very difficult to get much from his lessons. Utilize all the powerpoints!

Homework and quizzes are online and mandatory for every chapter but he drops your lowest HW and quiz grade. He has 4 tests. 1st one was SUPER easy so be sure to study for that one to get an A so you have room to mess up on later ones. Attendance is mandatory. He's a great teacher but has a thick accent so sit close to the front. I'd take him again.

One of the best professors I've had at CSULB. People who say he's bad are just saying that because they have difficulties with math or don't bother to pay attention. Take notes on everything he writes on the over head and you are prepared for the test!He also posts past exams with solutions which i used to study for exams.

Prof. Sung Kim's class can be challenging at times but it's not hard. I recommend forming a study group to prepare for exams/homework quizzes and attend at least one SA session before each exam, the SA session and the practice exams helped me understand the material better. I would say he's the best STAT118 professor to take.

I just took him for summer Math 380. Absolutely incredible instructor. He is super laid back and gives a lot of credit on exams. As long as you do the homework you'll do fine on the exams. His homework isn't collected for the grade but it's to supplement your learning.

He's a good professor a little accent but still understandable. He was very fair with due dates and drops the lowest quiz. Tests can be a little initimidating with the TA in there with him other than that. The class is going smooth and seems like everyone is doing well. The ONLY thing I would not like is attendance is mandatory MAX ur pts!!!

Boring lectures but he makes you laugh sometimes. Don't buy the textbook. Everything you need is on his slides. HW and quizzes were harder than the actual tests. Write down everything he writes on the overhead because that's what's going to be on the tests. 3 tests and 1 cumulative final. Practice exams and actual exams are very similar. Take him

This class is manageable if you know how to set aside time to do the assignments. Try your best to do the online homework and quizzes. Exams are easy to pass if you work through the practice exam and really learn how to understand the practice problems. You can earn 110 points on the midterms, but they're out of 100 (possible 10 ec points on each)

This professor is a solid choice for MATH 380 over the summer . As long you do your part by coming to his office hours, ask questions during lecture , and do all the suggested HW, you should get at least a B in the class. He is a generous grader and gives amount of EC on exams.

Dr. Kim is a spectacular MATH 380 professor. He explains the concepts concisely. Tests are similar to homework, maybe a tad harder. Make sure you do well on the first two exams, as the final unit is multivariable calculus heavy. 3 exams, worth 30% each, and 10% for attendance make up the grade. Grading scale is 85% A, 70% B, 60% C.

even though the lectures can get pretty boring, this is an easy class too get through. there are only 9 chapters and homework assignments covered. the professor gives past exams as study guides which are extremely helpful. 2 midterms and the final have extra credit and can be passed with an a as long as you study.

Fall 2022. Professor Kim provides students with amazing lectures and homework which correlates with exams. Exams may be a bit harder, however, he also offers additional points on exams. Study the homework problems, use the practice exams, and ask questions when you are confused. Great professor, highly recommend!

You can easily pass this class by only understanding each formula for each chapter and looking at the sample midterms he provides. Attendance matter. He gives a TON of extra credit so take advantage of those. 2 midterms and 1 final. I recommend getting above 75% on the 1st midterm so you don't have to go to extra tutoring for attendance.

Attendance is mandatory. Homeworks are not related to the tests materials. Does extra credits(70pts) which helps with your overall grade by a lot. Exams are not hard if you do the sample tests. Just be familiar with the test questions and the formulas used. Also uses a rubric on grading answers-as long as you try to show work, you still get points.

Professor Kim was, simply put, a solid teacher. I just took his class for MATH 380 and found it to be well explained for a subject I normally struggle in (I am a compsci major). I highly recommend taking him if you feel somewhat behind in your own stats journey, as he is really good at explaining the material.

I did not pay attention in class I just did practice exams and would pass all the tests and got an A in the class. He gives 10 points extra credit for all exams, we had hw every 2 weeks from a website we had to purchase which was always easy to finish, and he had quizzes from every chapter u could do for extra credit whenever u wanted (each 10 pts)

Dr. Kim is a great instructor. He cares about his students and genuinely wants you to pass. The material itself is difficult but he does adjust to the level of performance for the class. He is also available during office hours and email as well.

he a mad chiller

Lectures can be dry, but homework and practice exams are super helpful. Use unstuck study alongside other study tools to ace the tests. Attendance is mandatory, but extra credit opportunities make this an overall manageable class.

Lowkey a chill dude. He teaches pretty well and is understandable. Sometimes he doesn't understand questions and will talk about other stuff, but if you talk to him during office hours he's goated. Big help and makes probability theory relatively simple. Just study for the exams on ch.5 and ch.6 (especially hard) and you'll b chilling.
