Reviews
Very nice person, bad teaching style. In a big lecture room, he just reads off of a sub-adequate word document and expects us to keep up and understand. The concepts taught are incredibly important for research, but he doesn't make it clear at all. Also hard to find material to help supplement the lack of learning on the internet.

Very easy class. Professor Kim made an effort to be personal and interact with students. The class was pretty disorganized and you didn't always know what assignments were or when they were due. However, in the end it was a simple class with few expectations and help was available if needed.

A good professor that makes engineering ethics interesting and thought-provoking. Never create difficulties for her students and give fair grades. Strongly recommended!

I took Professor Krone's ethics class in FL2020 and found it very enjoyable w/ interesting content discussed. The class itself is only 1 unit, so it's not much work and you can actually get a lot of it done ahead of time. Lots of EC (related to the 2020 election) and super easy grading. Good to pair with a heavier schedule as a WashU student.
