Professor Kim class is easy to follow along. She doesn't have an assigned book but has a course pack and some online reading. She pretty much spells out what she wants you to do in class so if you show up and listen you should do well.
This woman should be an elementary school teacher, because she seems to think she is one already. I'm taking her class "Classical Myths and Legends as a Source for Literature" class, and all we've done the entire semester (which ends in a couple of weeks) is go through the Greek mythology that everyone has learned. Not only are we using strictly Greek mythology and ignoring all other cultures and their colorful array of mythos, we haven't once used what we've learned as a source for literature. Also, I am greatly disturbed by her approach to poetry. For an Enlgish professor, she has a terribly narrow mind, seeing all but a few poems as having only a single, strict meaning. This professor is enough to make me ashamed for my country's education system.
Positive:
Has enthusiasm in the classroom
Comes to class organized
Negative:
Is a bad professor
Professor is boring or bland
Does not make class challenging enough
Poor sense of humor
Professor does not relate to students
Has a wonderful style of teaching. Her English 102 was very beneficial- about technology and vocab words,and how to be a good writer. not poetry which is pointless. Also easy. You may not like her at first but she is cool once you get to know her

For 19 years, I've never had an english professor like this. She makes class how it's suppose to be, understandable. I hated English my whole life, but she gives us so much knowledge about english that i love it now. She's the best professor I've ever had, and gives a lot of extra help. I actually learn and remember vocabs and writing styles because of how she teaches them. Also, easy A+ class.

Negative:
Kim teaches this class like 4th grade history, rather than college english. she talks down to her students and doesn't expect anything of them. Her knowledge of history is feeble at best and I walk out of every class a little dumber than when I went in. She asks people to analyze what she just read even when it's completely self-explanatory. She doesn't seem to understand what a metaphor is, and when no one answers her, she belittles the entire class by repeating, "It's obvious," or ,"Can you follow? Can you follow? Can you follow?" Take this professor if you want some good uneducation.
