Mijeong Kim

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.

Are you looking for a class where all the busywork you do gets dropped into a black hole? Look no further.nFeedback? None. nGrades? Definitely not.nInformative and coherent lectures? You're asking for too much already.nnFrom the bottom of my heart, don't take a class with Prof Kim. She has good intentions, but you will get nothing out of it.

Professor Kim has the most boring lectures I have ever participated in. They were actually painful to sit through. The class was not clearly structured, and professor Kim was very disorganized. The class was on writing skills, yet I learned very few tangible writing skills. Assignments are mostly boring busy work. Do not take.

The class average is made up of three grades, two of which are tests but he's an easy grader. He explains everything clearly. He could give more direction for the research paper, but he's accessible outside of class for questions. He understands that we're busy students and tries to accommodate varied schedules. Great teacher, and really nice!

The only two assignments are two research-heavy papers worth 50% each. He has very vague grading criteria, and his lectures often have little to do with each other and can be quite dry. Despite this, Kim is a very nice guy and is always wanting students to come to him for help outside of class. Going the extra mile on the papers will be worth it.

Taking his class is the worst choice I've ever made in my life

SP2021 BEWARE: Harder than before, semi open-ended exams, graded harshly. Do expect to learn a lot, DO NOT EXPECT FOR GOOD GRADES!!

Very smart guy but ambiguous. Exams are meh, research project is not explained clearly, but I recommend starting early (beginning of semester) and finding a group to work with.

Graded on only 2 exams and a research project. First exam was straightforward and easy; the second was viciously hard. He's very ambiguous about everything, from grading procedure to how the research project is done. Very smart, and his lectures are quite interesting, but he often loses his place and the lecture ends up trailing off. Odd professor.

You're graded on two tests and a research project. The tests are free response and based on his lectures, which may seem a bit non sequitur at times, but as long as you go over the slides and can weave together an explanation and justify it, even it it's contrary to what was discussed, he'll give you credit. Project is leniently graded. As and Bs.

He is not clear about the requirement. No sample test posted before midterm. He just read out (not loud) but really fast two questions of past paper. What is the point of doing this? Can not learn much from his class. Can not find any logic of his lecture. American economic history is really an interesting topic. But he teaches it in a terrible way
