Hyunki Kim GVPT200 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/04/2024	As long as you take notes during class and make some sort of quizlet or study guide you will get an A. Midterms/Final are derived from information that comes directly off the slides. Theres only like 4 or 5 grades so each test/grade is important. Professor Kim is kind and knows what she is talking about. She is there for you if you reach out. The only reason i don't give 5 stars is because we were always behind schedule (like many classes behind) and in an effort to make up for that she rushed through the lectures. It made it harder to take notes and process information because there was no breathing room, it was one thing after another after another (and she doesn't talk slow). I started by handwriting notes but quickly switched to typing because there was no way to keep up if not. Even with that it was like I was working out my hands after every lecture. In my opinion it would have been better to just take out some information instead of trying to rush through and jam-pack everything. Nevertheless, GVPT200 is not too hard at all and professor Kim has interesting information to share. Worth taking the class.
Hyunki Kim GVPT200 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/03/2024	The course is hard if you don't pay attention or just don't like learning about international politics. But even then, everything you need to know is on her slides which are always posted on Canvas. The course's canvas page is also very organized and easy to navigate. Readings are placed in folders according to which week you need to read them. The only downside is that there are 3 exams weighing 25% of your grade, and one short paper (5 pages double space w/ bibliography) that is around 15% of your grade. Other than that, professor is very nice and so are the TAs. Definitely recommend!

Hyunki Kim GVPT200 Expecting an A Anonymous 01/25/2022	I took GVPT200 with Hyunki over the winter term, so it was in three weeks. Because of the timeframe, this class is pretty heavy reading-wise in such a short period of time, but the assignments are straightforward. The entire thing was asynchronous, so I would simply watch the lectures on Panopto on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, after doing all the course readings for those days (none on Tuesdays and Thursdays). Overall, I'm glad I got this one done over the winter term. Hyunki is a grad student doing her Ph.D., so she is not a full professor, but she was clearly knowledgeable about the topics covered. Her lecturing is a bit slow, but this is not a problem because Panopto has the option to speed the lecture up to 1.25x, so it felt perfectly normal. I would recommend taking this class with her if you have the chance.
