CollegeA great class with relevant applications for getting the most out of your internship. Not too much reading, no exams, and simple papers. Created an e-portfolio which was very useful. Brought outstanding speakers to give insight on real-world professionals. Very caring and brought us cookies :)
This class has so much potential but the structure is very frustrating. Lectures are just random theories and information and she just reads off slides and is a boring lecturer. Group project isn't too difficult depending on group but if you have a bad group it could be hard. The class doesn't seem to have a clear goal
Professor Young Ji Kim is very understandable and caring. She responds by email but is best to meet in person. Class is weighed heavily on group project (40%) that is randomly assigned. The midterm (20%) and final (25%) are somewhat very difficult as you need to understand readings and class concepts to do well. Dense material and info overload.
Took comm 191 with Kim and she was the best. Its an internship course where you have to get an internship on your own outside of class and the lecture meets once a week for 2hrs. She brings in guest lecturers to speak. Super practical class to get you ready for workplace. Final project was updating our LinkedIn, cover letters, resumes, etc.
She responds to emails quickly and the class itself was straightforward. I'd recommend putting in effort for the group project and knowing what exactly it entails (office hrs helps) bc it can definitely carry your grade! She's really sweet and accessible.
Professor is really nice and welcoming. Showing up to class is about 25-30% of your grade. Readings are assigned on canvas but no textbook. There's one midterm, final and a group project which is worth 30% of your grade.
