Easily the best professor I have ever taken in my four years of higher education. She is super kind, knowledgeable, and I looked forward to attending every class! Grading criteria is very clear and reasonable - don't expect an A if you don't put in the effort/do the readings, though. Super accessible and just awesome all around!

inspirational course, formative for my grad school education. I'm unsure if this is still being offered, but absolutely a worth taking

Took Professor Keum for POLS110DA. She is highly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about her field. That said, her grading style is harsh and often feels unfair. If your work isn't exactly what she wants, expect a low grade regardless of effort.

Many professors have fancy degrees but are not good at teaching. Not Prof Keum. She is an AMAZING educator. Care about her students and goes above and beyond for them. Recommend

For Pols 1. lectures organized but it was mainly her conversing with students in lecture to teach which was engaging and a unique approach but sometimes difficult to know what was going on. I'd say it's the hardest class out of the pols pre-reqs. The papers are graded really harshly, and midterms based on frq reading + author title excerpt ID.

SO GOOD! She is so caring and although the material itself is quite boring, she makes it engaging and is super sweet. I am so lucky to have taken this class with her! A lot of heavy readings (I didn't read most until right before the midterm because it was mainly based on identifying quotes/authors but was fine). Made the final online/take home.
