SHE IS HORRIBLE

Can be rude. Thinks she is funny but not. Not a good teacher

She totally thinks she is funny but isnt! Has a tendency to be very unclear when she teaches.

Oh Virginia..She knows what she is doing, but likes to teach w/ overheads that are pre-made. This is good and bad.FINE A VALID QUIZ SEAT.this teacher has no prob giving tests on 12 sections at a time, but doesn't give a study guide. just do 500 practice probs and u will do great.. Grade:C---

Has a bad attitude. Heard she yelled at some kid who tried to seek help during her office hours. Enjoys making people feel inferior and stupid. Exams are hard, and she provides no study guide, unlike other sections. But she did curve both exams, since we all did horrible, so it isn't all bad.

Virginia Kim. She seems to be obsessed with watching your signs. She could be a nice teacher if she wasn’t so cold hearted. She doesn’t seem personable. Even her TA Seethgram thinks badly of her. Watch out incoming freshman. Try to get a different teacher

oh Virginia,what to say..i guess shed be a good teacher if she wasnt so plain MEAN.Besides the fact that she yells at kids, and she puts the emphasis on the wrong syllables of words, she sounds like a phone sex operator, does butt crunches during class and she doesnt actually TEACH anything..shes ok

2nd worst teacher I've ever had. Assumed that everyone understood everything that was going on at all times, and would yell at students when they didn't understand what was going on. She obviously hates teaching and i don't understand why she is teaching.

She is a bad person and wont teach you anything useful...

Thumbs down, she literally gives me headaches. Bad teaching.

Ok, if you like sarcasm, which I do, that's not the bad part.If you don't avoid her like the plague. She is not very good at teaching basically because she thinks everyone should already know the subject matter! I am HORRIBLE at math and just having me copy notes isnt gonna do anything for me. Cell phone spaz as well. She will freak if she hears on

bad teacher. shes basicly screams at you. do not bring technology to class she freaks out and will make scene. you have a quiz every week and like 4 tests they very similar to the practice tests class was pretty hard im surprised i even got a c.

By far one of the worst teachers I have ever had of my education career. The inflection of her voice changes constantly and is extremely annoying. She expects you to know everything before she teaches it to you. Drop her if you get her, and take the class again next semester.

This was one of the worst teachers I have ever had. She never seemed interested in being in teaching and seemed to always have an attitude. If you know you have her, try to get a new teacher.

worst teacher EVER. if you have her, switch out of her class.

She's probably the rudest person I have ever known. Her notes are clear, but she spends half of class complaining and yelling at students when she should be teaching. It's college, who cares if kids are late to class or talk? I wish she'd care a little less about insignificant things and do what she was hired to do: teach. DONT TAKE HER CLASS

She is very passionate about math, but can't get her point across. Most of the time she trails off topic, and then lectures and yells at the class. She needs to just teach the class because we don't care about all the little things she HAS to add in. We are college students but she is very condescending, and acts like its a highschool class.

Do not take her class. She spends more time complaining than actually teaching. She expects you to know what is going on before she even teaches it. The online assignments take over a week to complete and are useless. She is always in a bad mood and freaks out at people when they ask a question. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS

Used to get pretty good marks in math until I took this class. She likes to skip over steps and spends a lot of time yelling at the class and complaining. At times if you dare to ask a question she will call you out to make you feel stupid for even asking instead of just answering the question. Do NOT RECOMMEND HER.

Her demeanor is very interesting, it almost seems as if she is yelling at us for not knowing the subject yet(which is why we are there). She is a bit sketchy when explaining things. I feel if you are willing to put a lot of time and effort into this class with her, you will do fine, if not, don't get this teacher.

Teachers or instructors like her are always an obstacle to student learning. she is not there to teach but rather, intimidate students with her position. As students we have questions that neede answer but she is always fraustrated with herself and tries to laid it on student. Moreover, hse is very "cheeky and snubbish" to any question I had.

I took this class senior year of high school and received a B, I got placed into MATH 155 when I took the placement test, I take the class here with Kim and receive a D. Terrible teacher. She yells at the class when she brings up things we should already know from previous courses. Heard she is a nice person but she shouldn't have became a teacher.

Why did I take this class? Struggling hardcore because of the lack of material taught in class. I dont even know what you would do if you happen to miss class because the book sure as hell wont help you much. If I had to redo this year, it would be to go back and change the course or teacher.

Terrible teacher. She yells at her students, and gives attitude back. She hardly is gentle when giving instructions and comes off rude. I took trig in high school and i passed with an A-, in this class I am presently getting a C-/D. She doesn't go into enough detail and doesn't reference the book at all which is difficult come homework time.

I want to claw my eyes out when I think of this class. I did not listen to rate my professor. I should have. Awful experience

I usually like strict profs b/c I learn a lot from them. I got an A in Algebra last sem but Calc w/Ms. Kim is so bad I dropped. She sucks the life out of Math. When students have ?s, she condescends them before answerng, making evryone afraid to ask anything. Outside class, she's a nice person. Has a pretty, warm smile in passing; just not in class

I have never particularly loved math , however this woman made me hate it. I received a B + because I practically taught myself everything. She is rude , loud and possibly the worst teacher NIU has to offer. I wouldn't want my worst enemy to sit in a class with this woman. If you ever read this Virginia , I know you're an unhappy person.

She should not be teaching. Chronically and preemptively berated the class regarding prerequisite algebra skills. She stops class constantly for any PERCEIVED distraction. I have no idea how she even has a current rating of 2.6 on this site. Worst. Teacher. Ever. Ms. Kim, if you read this: find a job you enjoy and are better suited for.

She was terrible she expected you to know things you never learned and if you ask her a question she looks at you like your dumb. She is a very unfair grader will take points off even if she doesnt like the way you do your work! Terrible teacher!

In high school, I got an A in Pre-Calc and AP Calc, so I knew all of the material very well. I still tried hard and studied. I got A's on my homework and most of my quizzes, but no matter how hard I tried I failed all of the exams. For the final I spent 10 hours studying, yes I kept tract to prove a point, and still failed my final. Terrible.

She can be very straight forward at first but once you talk to her she is OK. She stops class because people come in late, so she wastes a lot of time doing that. We started exams late, my second exam I started 10 minutes late because I was waiting for her to give us the exam. She really tries but I would not recommend her to anyone.

Ms. Kim maintains an adversarial dynamic with her students, choosing to fight against them rather than for them. Her lectures are compact; she knows her stuff. Still, no student should ever feel intimidated by their professor to the point where they can't ask questions in class. Her tongue in cheek delight and subsequent anger is inflammatory.
