Spring 2024 - enjoyed the class overall and not too bad for a GE. would recommend, especially if you like US history or have taken APUSH since it is semi-similar. also, prof kim is very chill and understanding. grading scheme: midterm (in-person exam, short answer and essay questions, not open note) final (in-person-exam, short answer and essay question, not cumulative, not open note) paper (5 pages double spaced, topic of choosing as long as it is discussed in class) section participation (come to section and talk about readings) section "quizzes" (write a little paragraph about something in class, answering a prompt)

Winter 2025 - Professor Kim is one of the most engaging teachers I have had. Not only was the content engaging but so were his lecture slides and speaking style, often joking and making the content relatable. The courseload was manageable, with a couple reflection papers where he provides measurable feedback to improve on later papers. The midterm and final were very manageable with study guides ahead of time which reflected the content of the exam. Professor Kim is very kind and helpful as well as accommodating when students need it. I would highly recommend this class and professor.

Winter 2021 - Professor Kim is a gem in the history department. He is incredibly intelligent, caring, and willing to help. I took this class during COVID so it may have had a reduced workload but for a 187 course it was not particularly difficult, though the weekly required discussion posts were not ideal. Overall it was a great course with a great professor, I highly reccomend
