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 - This class was honestly very enjoyable and doable. There are two RP's which are just 400 words covering any week's material of your choice. Make sure you focus on quality and follow the prompt, you will be fine. There is one OP ED which is 500 words and can be done easily with proper planning of what topic/perspective you wanna cover. Midterm and final were bluebook, gives a study guide, again follow the prompts and you will do fine. This class is all preparation, planning, and following prompts. Lectures are actually engaging and attendance mandatory. we cover interesting topics and i would definitely take another class with Professor Kim, truly a great, humble, and helpful person whenever you need help throughout the quarter.

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
