Professor Kim is absolutely wonderful! She really knows her stuff and is also so caring to her students; she welcomes students' opinions and points of view on the topics. I learned so much in this class and enjoyed it.Rate My Professors ↗
Just fantastic; both she and Professor Chamedes are fantastic professors that deeply care about what they are teaching. Roughly 2 papers you have to type online and 3 you have to type in person, which wasn't bad at all. Probably the best history class I have ever taken.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Kim is truly incredible. She is clearly very passionate about what she teaches. She does a really great job of keeping students engaged with some tough material. She is also very accomodating and understanding. If you need an extension or extra help she does a really good job of giving one on one feedback.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Kim was one of my favorite history professors at UW. Her lectures are really interesting and give you a different perspective about the United States and its relationship with the world. She cares so much about each of her students and is always available outside of class. Decent amount of reading but they are usually short.Rate My Professors ↗
