Spring 2020 - I learned a lot. This professor is awesome. This is the second class I have taken with him and I don't regret it. He really cares about the students. He actually makes what could be boring material very interesting. I never thought I would be interested in the subject, but he relates it to real world current events. The project we did at the end was to show how it related to UCLA and that was interesting. He discussed the Black Lives Matters protested and got our feedback as to what we thought and what we were feeling. He also talked about COVID - and he related his teachings to these things that were important to us and going on in our world. The midterm and final were take home, the project was fun to do, and participation was important. Great class - you will enjoy it if you take Dr. Kim. He is super down-to-earth too.
