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.

I hope she reads this cause I genuinely don't understand why she is so bad at replying to emails. Especially since this is the type of class that you need to communicate back and forth with her with.

Such an amazing professor! She gave asynchronous classes and was so great. She was extremely passionate about her area of study. Had almost weekly quizzes that were pretty easy and two group essays. Highly recommend

Professor Huang is a great and very funny lecturer! Took this as a GE and was dreading it because I hate American history, but it was actually really interesting because of the topics he chose. Exams were super easy if you go to lecture. No slides posted so make sure to take notes.

unclear grading criteria like the rest of the reviews. if you're not interested in the topics then you won't enjoy the class. lectures aren't mandatory but you should go just for the exams. overall, don't take if you don't need to.

If you don't go to lectures you won't pass. Lots of readings, but you can get through with only knowing the gist of things. Exams are fill in the blanks (terrible) and a short essay answer. Lectures are really hard to follow (his banter didn't help). Paper guidelines were unclear, you basically had to create the prompt yourself. Avoid!

the class was graded by participation, mini research paper, 4 film reviews, pop quizzes, and a final paper. he grades based off of letters and not numbers (you'll receive an A instead of 90) and he never inserts grades into canvas so you wont know your grade until it is in gold. never answers emails and does pop quizzed based on readings.I did p/np

A 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 :)

Lectures were so so messy and all over the place. If there weren't TA sections, I would have failed this class. Would drift off topic during lectures as well.

I stopped attending lectures because I got nothing out of them; the professor would ramble on about things that did not correlate to the reading, like his hometown. The test is fill-in and blank, if memorization is not your strong suit, you will suffer. Do anything in your power to not take this class; it'll save you a lot of stress.

graded solely on section attendance, midterm, paper, and final. the paper and final occur around the same time. both tests have a fill in the blank section, which was absolutely ridiculous and taught nothing. the paper had no prompt, the only requirement was the page count. did not specify in the course description that the class was only poetry.

Lectures were unorganized/all over the place. Didn't know what was going on half the time. Only graded on section attendance, midterm & final, and paper. Exams are fill in the blank and a short response. Really didn't like the fill in the blank part, as that teaches nothing about the content of the readings and was hard to study.

Kinda funny, but that's it. Unorganized and confusing lectures. Doesn't post grades and only accepts assignments through email, but he won't email you back. Spontaneously assigns writing assignments during class rather than sticking to the schedule in the syllabus. No grading criteria. For a poetry lab, we never actually write poetry.

You won't know any of your grades until he uploaded to Gold, so you won't have a chance to change PNP or DROP the class. The Final Paper accounts for 50%, and his rating is very harsh.

If you attend lecture and take notes, it’s an easy A. attendance is mandatory but his lectures are amazing!

Loved Professor Huang! He was really funny and the class was interesting. Super easy. Graded on a take-home midterm, take-home final, and 5-7 page final paper. Easy A. He has some really interesting stories and insights.

nice prof but odd grading

Grading criteria weren't transparent. Did not update grades throughout the term - We only knew what we got when grades appeared on gold. However, has great stories about immigration and is highly respected! Take his class with caution

Weekly quizzes and forums with 1 response to peers. Pretty straightforward, I suggest watching lectures and skim readings and using your "resources." She may drop your lowest quiz score to balance out your grade which is nice. Also if you need an extension, just ask.

Professor Huang was super engaging as a lecturer + incorporated a bunch of different material in his course -- books, poems, videos, movies, music, etc. I didn't really know what I was signing up for when I chose this class, but he blew away any expectations I had. Show up to class, pay attention, take good notes, ask questions. Be engaged!
