PSY154 . Kim H S 2 Years Ago

She was a great professor and was very knowledgeable. There were only 4 grades, 2 discussions, 2 exams. It was not a hard class but no room for bad grades. I really enjoyed this class.

PSY154 . Kim H S 4 Years Ago

A great professor up until the VERY END of the quarter. Took points off of everyone's final because of her own mistake in the key. Had an ill-equipped TA grade the paper that makes up 30% of the final grade. Unwilling to take criticism and not at all approachable about grading concerns. Enjoyed the class but the unfair grading 100% ruined it.

The readings are interesting but the lecture slides could be somewhat updated. Very accessible and email responsive.

Favorite class at UCSB so far. Dr. Kim is awesome. Super smart and funny. This is one of those classes that would make the world a better place if everyone took it. I feel like a much more aware and understanding person after taking this class. The final paper was a blast to write, and I don't think I've ever said that about a 5-page essay before.

150L . Kim H S 4 Years Ago

After taking her class she seemed very disorganized and replies to her emails horribly late. Whats a huge pet peeve about her grading is that she doesnt provide feedback on the midterm and even on the final paper which was a huge let down. She is a cool professor though. I would avoid her, trust me theres better professors than her.

This is one of my favorite Psych courses so far! Dr. Kim is a good lecturer and hilarious! The material isn't too bad and is actually interesting. There are readings but they aren't too difficult and it's helpful for exams! There is a paper but it's fun and not something to stress about!
